I do.

Tanis is a great name. Also the name of my favorite character in the first two borderlands games

Those sound reasonable. I like long informative videos on in the background so those sound like they might work out. Thanks for the suggestions. 🙂

I love Hatchbox. They have excellent filaments and rich colors. Can’t say enough love of them. particularly like their matte ones. They were really easy to dial in to perfect.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll give those a try. 🙂

I used blanket statements and some flippant hyperbole because I don’t like any podcasts I’ve tried, but I’m aware the medium itself isn’t the exact issue. It just lends itself to people filling the silence with banal chatter when there is nothing else to say.

Nobody is forcing you to

And I never said otherwise.

That actually sounds interesting. Didn’t even know those existed.

“Hey Bill, the system just flagged this guy as unknown.”

“Oh fancy pants over there? That’s just Dave. The automated cameras flag him as unknown but since he’s the only one wearing that stuff we still know it’s him.”

Podcasts are a blight on humanity. I’m sure a couple are OK. But I’ve never found any to be worthwhile. Granted I don’t delve through the cesspool to find any though. I don’t relish listening to people talk ad nauseum about inane shit.

I have a hard time being too mad about pictures unless the people are being obnoxious about it. Some obliviousness is expected from captivated and enamored tourists. The ones that can’t just take a normal picture and move on suck though.

Don’t do it NZ! The fellowship of the ring and the rest of middle earth didn’t go through everything it did just for you to invite the Dark Lord back!

Well, that’s certainly one possibility, but there are so many average people that simply don’t even know. You could mention their data or try to talk about privacy or safety with it and they would neither care, nor be interested, and in some cases not even comprehend it or why it matters.

Was just at a local area on some bleachers and a row below me was a woman on her phone watching AI slop videos one after another. Her entire feed was only AI slop videos for 45 minutes. That’s the kind of person I’m thinking of. The ones that unilaterally pay no attention, for whatever reason, to any aspect of data privacy/sovereignty/anonymity/safety/“insert aspect here”.

People on Lemmy aren’t likely to have just stumbled in here. We are probably all aware of these issues on some level. But average people like that woman I mentioned are the ones most at risk of being taken advantage of. We need extremely strong data and privacy regulation, and needed it years ago.

Lol sorry, didn’t mean to soapbox. Just have a lot of strong opinions on this and am tired of seeing people, naive or not, being taken advantage of.

Average person that doesn’t care what data a company has or what it does with it

That’s a cool story. What a wild ride lol

Sure. Which is why I said I voted for her instead of trump. But if we had a proper left or left leaning liberal candidate I’d never have voted for her.

Fall back and never spring forward again.

But why… I don’t even fully get why there is a dedicated cycle anyways. Just release an update when there is something worthwhile.

Not a huge fan of the size of the screen, but it seems nice otherwise. I actually appreciate it being a little thicker because I have big hands and gripping thin things hurts after awhile.

I’ve never been thrilled about her either. Only voted for her because the alternative was a fascist cheeto in diapers.
