I mean, this is just me talking here, and what do I know, but I feel strongly that computer programs that periodically coax vulnerable children into killing themselves shouldn't be part of a school system's default software deployment.
Just visited the awesome Beat Street Records on W. Hastings in Vancouver.
Wonderful place, wonderful staff, and came away with an absolute trove (I’ll post my entire trip haul once I’m back on the island).
I still have several more hours to go until my rescheduled canceled ferry departs.
Where to now?
Me might head to Audiopile next.
A quick look inside Beat Street:

@futurebird seriously. Did you just catch that sunset?
@mattblaze Oooooo I don't live in NYC (or, America) but this is right up my geek street. I only wish there was one for London.

So, I have a lovely new iPad mini. Not so lovely: migrating my account has been really slow, everything's sluggish, apps not loading … after hours of this I *FINALLY* noticed that iOS has prioritised downloading my ENTIRE photo library—all 19 years of it—rather than, say, my VPN, adblockers, password manager, or LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE I ACTUALLY USE ALL THE TIME.

@Gargron Do you have something already, or this is a new install? I'm asking in case you have a Nest.
I bought one with the boiler add-on before Google borged them, and refused to "conveniently" convert it into a Google Home account. Now that they've added Nest ≤ gen3 to the "we want more money now" scrapheap via an API model number check, it's still going fine for me.
Furthermore, Nest ≥ gen2 now also has a FOSS firmware replacement (nolongerevil on GitHub, I think) that lets you manage everything locally, and integrates with HA if you have it.
Bit of a long shot/niche case, but thought it worth mentioning, just in case. The same might also be true of Hive and other pre-enshittification era devices. 🤷♂️
@jumile Brand new.
i'd argue it's not a purity test to reject someone for continuing to use generative ai, even if it's "as a test", "to prove a point", or "for research"
@citrusui imo having an ethical standard does not mean you automatically lose the argument

Stephen Miller terrorized, kidnapped, and murdered my neighbors.
This is not some vague figurative sloganeering thing. I can take you on a walk from my house and point out the spots where they took people. I know multiple people who had relatives abducted by ICE, including citizens. My wife personally knew Alex Pretti, and found out he died when she saw his face on the news.
Stephen Miller. This was his brainchild. This was his fantasy. This is on his hands. Just so we’re clear.
@jason I don’t know what it has to do with anything, but I figure it might be relevant for fine-grained control and sensor readings from the boiler, since the more general control is basically just an on/off switch from what I understand.
@Gargron I can’t see anyone recommending Tado but I’m in my fourth home where I’ve installed it. (In the first two I literally installed it myself and still do all the TVRs).
@tapaninaho What Tado model do you recommend? I'm not planning to upgrade to smart TRVs yet, just need the central control/programming.
@tarajdactyl GrapheneOS can't be certified by Google so it won't be approved by the Play Integrity API. That means Google Pay still won't permit using it. However, there are multiple tap-to-pay options available for GrapheneOS in the European Economic Area and UK including Curve Pay. You don't need Google Pay for tap-to-pay in most of Europe. If you aren't in the EEA or UK then a common alternative is using a Garmin watch for Garmin Pay or an Android Wear watch such as a Pixel or Galaxy watch.
@GrapheneOS @tarajdactyl or just use a fkn card lol ..
