I don’t know about unbound so I can’t really compare… OpenNic is not run by for-profit corporations, which I think is a good thing.

Opennic should be the default DNS of everybody!

I would love to self host a real debrid service where i can control what i pre-download using the “my library” feature, something similar to the *arr suite but only using the stremio interface.

Yup! Also the “natural” socialising age for cats is much younger than for dogs. Get them used to people as soon as possible. (Their critical socialising window is between 2 and 8 weeks, when close positive contact with humains is the most effective. See here: https://www.alleycat.org/resources/cat-socialization-continuum-guide/)

One of the most helpful advise I got about raising a cat is this: Cats are like hypersensitive humans that are shy with communication.

It explains a lot of their behaviour and helps you understand how they may feel in many situations.

It looks like you’re preparing very well, so I’m sure you’ll be an attentive and caring cat parent! Good luck!

And this is why tenure exists!

Mines are designated war crimes by the Geneva convention Ottawa treaty because of the indiscriminate killing. Many years ago, good human right lawyers could have extended that to drones… (Source: i had close friends in international law)

But i feel like now the tides have changed and tech companies have influenced the general population to think that ai is good enough to prevent “indiscriminate” killing.

Edit: fixed the treaty name, thanks!

Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book. With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there’s even more copying going on. It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.

My colleague built an ultrasound walking stick for his wife, but can’t even give units to the local sight-impaired community organization due to regulations… He’s given up on getting his design certified.

If i wanted to jump through complicated hoops, I’d try paid streaming services!

Instead of gold versions, rich people will get inconel-pannel cybertrucks!

Oh… All this time i thought they were talking about “the internet”, trying to ask me the password to access my ISP’s IP routing tables! 😯

It makes so much sense now that i think about it… They were confused when i replied that i didn’t know what was the password to the internet!

As non-US person, we watched the Superbowl in anguish, fearing a win for SF would directly lead to a Trump win and a destruction of the current world order!

Here we go again… The web, which is what most people think about when saying “internet”, is an European invention.

So the low level stuff is American, but higher level stuff is European. But then again, were could claim that “web 2.0” was invented by American companies.

Internet is 70% American?

What’s that story about eggs?

I don’t know a lot about DNA, but i know about facial recognition.

Facial recognition is highly inaccurate. It would be easy for people from the same country to “match” at facial recognition despite being totally unrelated.

If “face generation from DNA” is only roughly accurate (ex: nose size or skin tone), then anybody from the same ethnic origin could be a match. Basically, the more you look like the “average person”, the more likely you would fit the generated face.

Doesn’t it sound a lot like technology-enabled profiling?

I don’t know, I didn’t read the article. I try to make as little assumptions as I can… It could just add easily be a native that trained in the UK, but then i suppose it would have been mentioned.

Which language do you think the government should use/expect from it’s employes in HK?

If the local language is Cantonese, but the government is forcing to use Mandarin in law and other official businesses, to me it sounds the same as forcing Ukrainians to speak Russian (in the old USSR), Catalans to speak Spanish, and French Canadian to speak English. It’s soft cultural assimilation.

I don’t know much about the local language usage in HK, so i could be wrong though.

That title sounds like an XKCD password.
