Pretty sure in just about any developed country BetterHelp is breaking the law by selling at least some of that data. How they haven’t been shut down is a testament to man’s unending greed.

My condolences.

You could name any time a Christian came to a new land. Guaranteed they did their best to dismantle the local everything in order to spread Christianity because why would they be peaceful when instead they could indoctrinate people?

Good thing one of us caught that.

Didn’t know those existed, but not surprised. Definitely gonna have to check them out when I have the time.

I’ll wash them after I turn the page…

According to Perplexity…

And already I cannot trust your argument on anything whatsoever because you used an LLM to try and prove your point.

As much as I would love that, I think the original games being remastered to remove any bugs or maybe just having balance/difficulty changes/updates would be enough for me.

On a personal level, I would absolutely not buy a Fallout 1/2 remaster that changes how the NPC faces move when in the dialogue box thing with them. That almost uncanny valley like facial movement is something I absolutely love in older games.

Not the answer you’re looking for, but this reminded me of a short video I saw a long time ago where it was some kids being obnoxious ( as they’re known for ) on a train and this man snaps and screams, in Chinese, “Shut up! I wanna die!” because of how tired he was.

Cannot find the clip when I search for it, but I think it’s pretty funny. Nor do I remember where I saw it, but that specific little video thing has absolutely stuck with me.l ever since I saw it.

If we’re talking PC applications, I have been starting to use Strawberry Music Player a lot more than before for the audio files on my desktop and laptop.

For android, it’s a tie between the 2 most used apps outside of Voyager: Auxio and PipePipe.

Auxio messed up some things a long while ago, causing some of my songs on my SD card that would previously work perfectly in app to be unable to display how much time is left in a song, select specific moments, or even how long the audio file is in a very rare case. But overall just works fine enough for my local music playback needs.

PipePipe is nice enough. If yt Revanced refuses to let me play a video while in “incognito” mode, then I can just boot it up in this NewPipe fork. Also nice for the very niche time I wanna watch a video from NicoNico/NicoDouga ( Japanese video hosting platform ) because the person has the upload on there and no other official way of viewing it.

I could think of a few historic figures I would love to see be smothered in their cradle, but I think of it’s a one way trip, I’m going to get PDFs with just about everything I would ever need to know about programming in older versions of various languages, burn them to CDs, then return to the early 90s.

My hope would be, assuming I could take the CDs with me, that I could spend time becoming someone known specifically for making good quality software that helps people. Then when people on windows get attached to that software, pull the rig by saying that, maybe around the late 2000s, all my software will now be only available on Linux. I’d hope to create such high quality software, with the help of any other lunatics I could find, that nobody else can compete. A sort of VLC is the best, or at the very least probably the most used, video player around the world sort of software. Get entrenched and then force a shakeup.

Bonus points on me bringing proof I’m from the future, if I could, to ensure I could get people to believe me. Something like my soft modded 3DS. Also, bonus points if I bring CDs with PDFs for future versions of things like Python and other languages and such so we could stay ahead of the curb.

Some real techno elitist type stuff if I had to say so myself.

Anymore I let new music drift towards me rather than go searching for it. Occasionally yt, while I’m listening to another song, will suggest something that might catch my eye. That’s pretty rare, but it also keeps me from overcrowding myself on crummy music. It’s how I’ve found some absolutely amazing vocaloid songs like Step Forward by Machwolf and even pretty good covers of songs I like, like the EstyDK cover of メルト ( melt ).

I also sometimes find good music while playing rhythm games like the Hatsune Miku Project Diva series or OSU.

You just know they won’t touch those companies because how else are they gonna get their bribe money?

Most normal people, at least from my understanding, don’t use em dashes in text messages, let alone even use punctuation half the time. So if I see em dashes, yeah, my first thought is going straight to AI.

Whenever a large games company talks about “developer choice” you know they’re referring to one of a few things:

1. Think of the shareholders!
2. Think of the rich CEO who adds zero value to the company!
3. The people don’t know what they want and therefore we need to tell them exactly what they want and need!

I cannot remember which ones I read, but those were definitely some of the best ones out there for learning as a kid.

Especially now, I think projects like Wikipedia and The Internet Archive are great to donate to because of the high volume of information you can find on them, whether that’s links to information about a certain subject or a historic record of how a webpage may have looked years and years ago.

Last I checked, conservatives hate at least one of them ( Wikipedia ) because you don’t see them constantly bending the knee at every corner to appease their false history claims and other hateful junk.

As someone who has only been using Linux for a few years ( >5 ), yeah I do.

Definitely know what cron/cronning is, but I’ll definitely have to look up what yum-cronning is.

Edit:

I’m an idiot and correct in my thinking that yum was referring to the yum package management thing, which I don’t use on my system. Sounds cool, though. Might look into automating my setup, but it’s become such a routine for me to run the script I’m not sure if I could easily switch.

As a basic Linux user, I have a shell script to do all my updating, upgrading, removing of unneeded packages, etcetera. Under no circumstances is it all that advanced, just a string of simple enough apt and flatpak commands.

I also recently figured out that god knows how long ago that I set an alias to run it that’s only 3 keyboard clicks instead of 5, saving basically less than a second. So not that useful, but still good to know… until I inevitably forget about it again.

C for me because if I want you to know how my day is going, I’ll let you know.
