Uninstall apps that have a web app, particularly if you use it rarely.

Some phones have an option to make the display black and white either all the time or on a schedule (at night)

Disable notifications for apps that aren’t important. Set less urgent app notifications to “silent” so they don’t pop up.

Disable email notifications entirely.

Set your phone to silent when you’re not expecting important notifications.

Prevent the screen from turning on when notifications appear.

Go through every single setting on your phone, carefully consider each one, and choose the less intrusive / distracting option.

Relatedly, I’ve also written up what I’ve done to make Android a bit more private.

Does MusicBrainz count?

how much is that in feet

I don’t think the audio challenge trains AI since it only plays a single clip. The visual challenge works because it mixes in answers it knows (to confirm you’re a human) with answers it doesn’t know (to train the AI)

My theory is that the audio challenge is purely for verification and they’re okay with it not doing any training since a small minority of users will opt for it anyway.

Technically it doesn’t fuck up the AI training; it just sidesteps it (still good and definitely easier)

he was unaware Mix could share patron data with neighboring businesses but did not see a problem with it. “I think it’s cute that they share it amongst other bars,” he wrote. “It’s like a little cybersecurity community.”

“AI Mode” delivers more useful information than the old style page link list does these days.

How does Google’s AI mode compare to other traditional (non-ai) search engines such as https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ ?

To me it means to move quickly. Often it means to move quickly under strain, but not necessarily.

(Moving slowly under strain is not hauling ass.)

The best example I can think of would be the insane running animations of Peppino from Pizza Tower:

And this scene from Rat Race (2001) is maybe less helpful but still relevant: https://youtu.be/PzjLImF8Zbc?t=1m5s

The director of Citizen Kane never did that!

Mark Mothersbaugh in Yo Gabba Gabba!

Nice job! I’ve done a handful of these migrations myself. My journey has looked very similar.

Other people’s opinions of me are none of my business

I literally can’t think of any such shows but Remy Buxaplenty from Fairly Odd Parents is the first character to come to mind

some kinda hard drive bay that allows for multiple hard drives to be slotted into and connected (is that a NAS?)?

Although I haven’t ever used one, I think you’re kind of describing a “DAS” (Direct-attached storage)

I recently ran into the same issue as you and ended up ditching the laptop entirely and installed NixOS onto a TerraMaster NAS.

I wouldn’t give someone I barely know a second or third chance after being told to get out and then ghosted. If he doesn’t respect you, that’s an absolute dealbreaker, in my opinion.

I’ve been noticing that more and more projects are being hosted on Codeberg lately. Some examples:

• Forgejo (The software that powers Codeberg!)
• HelixNotes
• Mineclonia
• Pay Respects
• SuperTux Advance
• Betula
• Nitropage

I suspect they came up with a process for doing the conversions / redactions that worked for the documents they tested it with, and then applied the process to documents in a slightly different format and just didn’t notice. The Verge looked into it and couldn’t get a more specific answer than this:

With MIME, the “=” is used to signal either that a string of text should be broken for transmission and rejoined — a “soft line break” — or, when followed by two other characters, that it should be converted to a particular non-ASCII mark.

it doesn’t fully explain why the “=” sometimes replaces letters, like the “J” in “Jeffrey.” No one I spoke to could definitively answer this question, except to say that email is hard and converting it to PDF is harder, and the DoJ was converting a lot of documents in a hurry.
