We know everything about the victim and nothing of his captors.

My biggest takeaway from that article is that Google has been charging website owners to train their AI for them. What a bunch of greedy cunts.

Please let this all be a simulation that I’ll wake up from!

This is even worse with anime! Back in the 90’s anime had men and women doing awesome shit. There was sex and violence. There were characters I could relate to.

Now it’s all teens. Spineless boys who piss themselves at the sight of a female. Everything is PG. No badasses or relatable characters (unless you’re 12 I guess).

I love the medium but I hate that 95% of the time the target audience is children.

Because bondage, S&M and the leather community are all different things. Sure they’re all under the kink umbrella but that doesn’t mean somebody into one thing is into All of the other things. Most people I’ve met in the leather community aren’t even into bondage.

I think this is somewhat true on X, Meta’s platforms and Reddit but not so on lemmy.

That was a great watch, but I think it’s actually more simple than that. Content creators want to focus on their content. If it is now considered acceptable to have a mic on camera, hiding it is one less thing they have to deal with while shooting.

I do find it extremely odd to hold a lav mic though. Maybe that’s the only mic they own. I donno.

I think the last time I tried a bunch, it came down to Breezy and Cirrus. I think they’re pretty similar but I settled on Cirrus for whatever reason. Here’s a link for anyone interested.

You’re having an argument with a voice in your head or something. I’m just going to tag you and go about my morning. Good luck with whatever it is you’re dealing with.

This. Any time you’re not sitting at a desk/studio you need some kind of mic. And these new wireless mics work well. Now people are opting to not buy/use the big studio mics because the wireless ones work good enough and go anywhere.

Absolutely. Just don’t do anything shady with that information. I think that’s all anyone’s asking.

Sure, and it would be cool if that dude didn’t pass my personal information to a third party.

Nearly every weather app that exists is repackaging data from an official, tax funded source. Apps using weather underground data possibly being the only exception.

Show me one that doesn’t want location permissions and such. So now they’ve got Your data and can do as they please with it.

Because greed.

I had to scroll down too far to find something like this.

If you’re home the solution is simple. If you’re not home, then they’ll likely steal an inexpensive boomstick rather than your network gear.

My story is very similar. I used DD-WRT for years until something broke. Then I switched to OpenWRT and never looked back. That was maybe ten years ago.

Officers can view live drone footage from their patrol car computers…

Interesting. I wonder who else can view that live video stream.

That Karen has threatened your life. Handle the situation as such.

I’ve switched to lithium batteries. People bulk when they see the price but they’re actually cheaper in the long run because they last for ages.

If that type of play is your jam I would highly suggest getting into TENS. It’s a little pricy up front for a good made for pleasure unit but you can can edge for as long as you’d like and turn a knob when you’re ready. I use an ET232.
