But it’s not raising privacy concerns for underage children having to upload personal photos to god knows where?

Now if only those 20tb HDDs came back down in price, some are sitting at twice to three times their original release price.

We are now removing sidewalks and instead will be painting sidewalks!

This is why urban sprawl (exasperated by car dependency) is killing our ability to get around independently.

Urban density is the solution and something people should support (even those that choose to live in rural areas).

With urban density comes better public transit, better public spaces, walkability, and shorter trips to work and shops.

One of my biggest fears with getting old is loosing my independence. Having to be driven everywhere, with no other viable option of independent mobility, would effectively make me a prisoner in my own home in a American style Suburban neighborhood.

Time and Space is so vast that alien civilizations may have already come and gone in that time span.

Humans have only been around for a blink of a eye in the timeline of the universe. It could be some alien civilizations are only starting to evolve from bacteria at this very moment, or another few have already gone extinct thousands of years ago.

Phrases like the the West or Middle East make sense when all relative to Great Britain in geography.

The British had colonies all over and the terms like middle east and the west stuck. It’s also a reason for the most common world map, the Mercator projection.

Don’t forget home routers have something called parental controls.

This would put all the power of online safety back into a parents hands and maintain all privacy online for the general public and ones children as well.

Gemini is a hot pile of garbage.

When I ask Gemini for directions it starts to give me a definition, as opposed to opening maps and showing me the way. If I ask to turn off the lights I get a conversation and I end up walking to the light switch myself.

I believe the point you brought forward with it being more secure is exactly why it’s asked for in a academic environment.

With a single staple a page in a 10 page report could be attributed to accidentally falling out, where with a spiral bound set its less likely a page will “mysteriously disappear”. A student will also less likely as to resubmit a paper because “a page was missing”.

A group of students emptied blue ink from pens onto the stair handrails for a graduation prank.

It ended with paramedics being called to the highschool with police and news crews. Staff and students started to think it was a biological threat of sorts, as multiple random students started to get blue hands and eyes.

Same school a different year a bunch of students got on the roof and spray painted all the skylights black.

The "news* cycle is too quick and the majority of people forget due to information overload.

Hopefully there are still a select few that organize and fight specific issues while the rest of the public moves to the next big story.

Instead of less fancy trims a more fancy bike or e-bike would be perfect.

I wish all people would ditch their cars for trains, subways, trams, buses and bikes.

Its amazing how much income is spent on owning a car not mentioning the cost of constantly having to buy fuel. On average the costs of fuel can be around the same if not a little more then the cost of the car brand new.

I do, most countries are a unitity of states, counties, or provinces.

It would be so confusing if Mexico never settled on a name for its united states and called themselves the United States of America

To add to the confusion. The Americas (or America) comprise the landmasses of North and South America in the Western Hemisphere

People living in North and South America (or the Americas) can also be called American or Americans if the were referring to the landmass.

Strangely the United States IMO is the only country that seems to indicate the landmass its situated on when using the full name, the United States of America. Not to mention the indication of a union of individual states as well.

Several single-word English demonym alternatives have been suggested over time, for example Columbian, Columbard, Fredonian, Frede, Unisian, United Statesian, Colonican, Appalacian, Usian, Washingtonian, Usonian, Uessian, U-S-ian, Uesican, and United Stater.

Saying someone is a United Statesian or Statesian is probably the closest to how other countries like Canada (Canadian) or Mexico (Mexican) refer to themselves. If we forget that pretty much all other countries are a unity of states, counties, and or provinces.

Some of these sports betting apps are becoming available in countries outside of the United States of America. So it should stock some worries.

We have 18 year olds in out country betting on what colours the gatorade will be during the Superbowl.

Its a shame it has to be diluted.

It kind of sucks because the people working at spaceX are actually doing great things as a whole.

Just sucks a person like muskrat is the face of it.

Anyone have experience with Kagi translate or LibreTranslate. How privacy respecting are they?

Are there any alternatives such as a self-hosted local translator?
