I never viewed a midlife crisis as actually breaking free or feeling like your half way so you need to alter. I always viewed it as a, now I finally have money and am in a financially stable spot where I can risk money to splurge on something I normally wouldn't, point in life. Sadly, that seems gone. You'd be lucky if you have a stable career where you feel like you won't get fired tomorrow at 30. If you have anything left your desperately saving it for retirement.
I'm not posting this because I think it's a distraction or any kind of psyops campaign. But it's a little unnerving to think that these people are placing stuff in food and that really doesn't seem to cause any sort of concern.
Why not? Seems fitting an ex NASA engineer show Elon, the man currently trying to dismantle NASA, just what kind of intelligent people exist in that agency.
Curious how so many people decided to ditch them and switch (vocally on Lemmy at least) and now they back pedal/clarify/whatever. Turns out we have power and using it works. Sorry not sorry.
Edited: pedal instead of petal.
Ogles’ resolution is tailored specifically to permit Trump to serve a third term, but not to allow three out of the four living former presidents to serve third terms.
It's a Trump only privilege which, given the track record, could have been assumed, unfortunately.
Personally, I'm grateful this tool exists.
I have used Adobe Lightroom 5 the one you could get on a disc, like, when owning things was actually possible. Adobe has systematically pissed me off over the last decade. Lightroom was great, non-destructive edits, import into year with sub directory sorted by months. Quick copy and apply edits. Lr5 was great.I'm just a hobbyist photographer, I'm not doing pro level anything or charging anyone anything. I would love to use the student edition. I refuse to though, because it requires Adobe to upload them online, use them for ai training, it's not private. I take photos on a camera to NOT have them on the Internet.
To be honest I'd be upset if a photographer used any ai or cloud storage for my personal photos. Sadly, it's so baked in a photographer might not even know. Not everyone cares or is tech savvy(which is totally fine) it's not their fault the company is shady.
That was a first issue, second they won't support the version I have any longer, ok that's how software/hardware works, but it's a subscription model now and that sucks. I upload 6 months of photos at a clip, I didn't need a monthly sub. Because of that I'm tied to an old laptop that's on death's door to edit my pics.
Darktable provides everything I need that Lightroom did, sans a small bit of import magic to organize photos, and it's a little tricky to use but after about an hour, I understand how to get things going. Anything has a learning curve.
With darktable I know my pics are mine, they are on my laptop, I won't be paying a subscription. That small amount of frustration is worth it to tell Adobe to piss off.
I was reminded that they are currently at odds with Musk (and SpaceX) because of land they bought to interfere with the border wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.
How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol
I played couch co-op with my kiddo on the master chief collection on my Xbox. The only issue I had was depending on the profile signed in first it sometimes gets the progress save wrong.
As a parent, if my kid said "I don't want to be tracked, I'm concerned about my privacy", I'd get an intercom for everyone in the house and let the Alexa be opt in. Sounds like playing music using Alexa isn't a game changer for you. What does it matter anyway, what if you like headphones better, the Alexa stuff isn't mandatory for playing/listening to music.
If not using it for Alexa connectivity, why not just get an actual intercom? A pair is like 30 bucks on Amazon, no Internet required.
Or "hey Alexa, order an intercom system on my mom's account"
Isn't there an eavesdropping function on Alexa... Maybe it's actually less communication and more checking in on what you're doing (not to increase your paranoia)
Can I sue for millions of dollars because it caused me emotional distress? Like when 60 minutes cleaned up Kamala's interview?
