These days all those closed containers are virus spreaders so better to fly and get less exposure time. Wear an N95 either way.

In the old days I did some long bus and train trips and it wasn’t so bad unless there were noisy or otherwise annoying people on board. Basically bring a long book to read, sleep when you can, and enjoy the scenery when there is something to look at. A travel pillow can be a help, and also warm clothes or a blanket. On international trains (EU) you can meet interesting people too.

I watched 10 minutes or so of this and it was actually fun. For some users a home theater system in this format could be a neat hack.

I’d say get a computer monitor rather than something sold as a TV. Less likely to spy on you. If your TV has a microphone, assume it is listening.

You have to be logged into a Google account for this to work. Also not mentioned is whether a new android version is required.

Email and sometimes irc. And old fashioned sms when needed.

About learning more Python? Code up something interesting, or join an existing project and contribute.

About starting freelancing without a track record? Right now it’s difficult, though maybe that’s cyclical. But basically look on Craigslist and so on for help wanted. Stay away from bottom feeders like Fiverr. There is a monthly “who is hiring” post on Hacker News and a similar post for freelancers (mostly work seekers) but the entry barrier there can be sort of high.

primarily a gamedev, so no functional programming languages like Rust or Haskell.

Talk to Tim Sweeney.

The Next Mainstream Programming Language: A Game Developer’s Perspective (pdf).

Note that C++ is getting modules, that might speed up compilation, though it’s still C++ afterwards. The cool kids in systems programming are using Rust now. I have no idea if game devs are using it. Anyway, on games projects or anything else, you have to use what the other people on your team are using, which these days is still mostly C++ afaict.

So long, Intel.

Tldr: #4 is earthquake alerts. #1, 2, 3, and 5 are AI crap.

Another sign Python is hosed by abandoning “batteries included”.

Lol, AI firms trying to devour the entire internet for training data, discovers that it needs a way to ensure that it doesn’t train on its own output. So it pitches credentials as something to fight AI rather than to mark non-AI data as delicious for ingestion.

I remember a flying saucer game that had an “abduct” button. This sounds similar. Or maybe it means regulatory capture.

There is something called auto clicker(?) Such is simpler but similar. It’s on fdroid.

Maybe you’re right about Gelsinger. I’ve seen him spew BS but figured he does it because he has to, that Intel has been fundamentally broken for decades, and that he was as a good a CEO choice as they could have made.

Me too, I had to web search and then pasted the result here.

The Patterson–Gimlin film (also known as the Patterson film or the PGF) is an American short motion picture of an unidentified subject that the filmmakers have said was a Bigfoot. The footage was shot in 1967 in Northern California, and has since been subjected to many attempts to authenticate or debunk it.

Sure. Normally I think of visiting a site in a browser as navigating to that site on purpose. If Mozilla sells placement in the browser so that the browser navigates to that site automatically (unless you disable that), it’s invasive. That said I do remember Mozilla sets the default start page to something annoying and I had to reconfigure it to about:blank when I set up the system.

I think you are saying Mozilla sold tabs screen placement to Accuweather, which means Accuweather gets user IP addresses (and therefore approximate location among other things) when the user launches the browser. So I guess the answer to OP question is yes.

And yes, opt-out is possible, but a pro-privacy approach would require opt in.
