Just your average urban druid interested in technology and quantum field theory.
One thing I am always aware of are apps that want permission to access Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi and/or Networks.
Even though Bluetooth is very short ranged it can still be used to tie you into a location within a database based on other database records that are more detailed.
Yeah, I love playing you “My Great Dog-sitting Simulator” (not a real app) but you do not need access to my BT. The OS handles sending your audio to my headphones!
Well bsky.app has added almost a million users in 1 day! They actually call these events “EMEs” (Elon Musk Events).
It’s a great site, that I highly recommend you check out.
Yeah…
Hey! Perhaps they’ll use A.I. to weed out the A.I. generated bits.
I think that’s the “25-times faster” bit. They seem to be in a hurry to collect as much human-generated data as possible.
Ah, the ol’ “Brute Force” hack.
I got as far as Tom Cotton. Everything else in that article is just going to be a waste of time to read.
The man is without ethics or morals.
Nothing beats a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza, so they get my vote!

Okay. So how do we turn it off!? I’ve read nothing in my Samsung manuals about this “feature” and here no instructions for turning it off.
Which of the three are you referring to!?
“There’s that word again, ‘heavy.’ Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?”
You like NFT, yeah?
Was at the San Francisco Public Library with da hubs, checking out DVDs/CDs, and on our way out saw a flyer for IIRC “Celluloid San Francisco” a presentation by the author of a new book about movies made here.
We figured “Why Not?” Walked in and was entertained for about an hour by a very personable speaker and tons of SF film facts!
Then they unexpectedly ushered the lot of us across the hall to a catered buffet lunch, meet and greet, and book signing (none of which was mentioned on the flyer).
We also went in slightly less higher than god…
So we proceeded to stuff our faces from a delicious buffet, chat up the author and thank him for an amazing presentation, and then left around 2:30 not having paid a penny for anything.
I love walking on foggy beaches! So serene, yet ethereal.
I read that last election he started campaigning the day after he lost. He’ll do the same thing this time just to keep the grift going.
Plus he’s had how many delays handed to him because he’s a political candidate? He’ll probably pass away as a political candidate just to keep those two things in his grasp.
Drugs: Never mentioned. There were anti-drug ads on TV 24/7.
Sex: Never mentioned. Well, by the time they got around to having “the talk” we asked them if they needed to know anything. Mom laughed, dad looked embarrassed, and that was that.
Etiquette expects that when you do a nice thing for someone you gain nothing more than a “Thank you” in return.
You can’t do “Pay-it-forward” as that places a burden on the recipient and your ‘gift given freely’ then becomes a task to them. Which is no gift at all!
I’ve licked the frog twice! How many does it take?
