Hey, maybe every American should put Trumpstein lawn jockeys in their yard! 😂

Can you imagine how depraved you must be to find time in your day to mow swastikas in lawns? Or to attend a vigil for a racist bag of shit?

We can do better, Canada. We settled the Nazi debate in WW2. Never forget.

I agree with you, and put “nothing” in quotes for a reason.

Wildfires are mostly out of our control, but nearly all other forms of air pollution (ok, except volcanoes) are in our control, and we really need to step up our game as a global community.

I guess that’s the point of bringing up the comparison with the whole.

If we were to allocate resources, would it be better to mitigate things outside of our control, or should we use those resources to reduce or stop the things that are in our control?

And to that point, what effect would respirators have on these numbers? I noticed in recent reports, where people in Canada were harmed or died because of wildfire smoke, there was never a mention of wearing respirators, especially by those living in the area of those wildfires.

If governments handed out free P100 masks, would people even wear them? Would there be political fights over the “right” to not wear a mask, and add to the burden of those 80,000+ deaths?

More people are dying from car exhaust, yet there seems to be a massive push against active transportation.

The entire thing is frustrating. The things we can control, we seem to fight over, and end up with millions dying prematurely because of it.

Cost of living drives 3 in 4 Canadians to skip eating out

More accurate?

Honestly, when put into context, those numbers are “nothing”.

The WHO estimates that outdoor air pollution resulted in over 4 million premature deaths worldwide in 2019 alone! When combined with indoor air pollution, we’re talking over 6.5 million people per year. (source)

Other studies say vehicle exhaust kills over 300,000 a year. (source)

Also no native Linux app so I could only use it on the app on my phone.

You can use their web interface to view/control certain models on your local network: https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003981973-How-to-Remotely-Access-Reolink-Cameras-NVRs-via-a-Web-Browser/

I have the Reolink Home Hub (doesn’t support all my Reolink cameras, but enough), and I’m able to use the browser interface on Linux no problem. Of course, the app is more feature rich, but that depends on your needs, too.

I’m sure you can even access this interface through the net via remote proxy or something similar.

but in a recent firmware update they disabled the http and https capabilities

Yeah, they suck with their firmware. One of my cameras was locked out… literally unable to view, playback, or control it until I got in touch with Reolink tech support so they could force an update through. It took several days and a lot of effort to clear that up. Not cool!

When should I sell my unused Series X? Because I feel like I’d make a profit if retail prices keep increasing 😂

Life has been so good with Linux.

… they could face federal anti-racketeering charges that were designed to bust up organized crime.

Not even the Onion could come up with something this bat-shit silly.

It’s now a crime for hurting baby Donnie’s feelings. Oh, poor baby Donnie. Do you need a lollipop baby boy?

😲 ☠️

An April MIT study found AI Large Language Models (LLM) encourage delusional thinking… … is not a flaw of LLMs, but a deliberate design choice to manipulate users into addictive behaviour that profits tech companies.

Just yesterday, as I was messing around with a local LLM to see how well it does speech-to-text (not to answer any questions), I came across a voice (text to speech) that was basically a woman speaking in ASMR.

I’ll be honest, it was soothing to listen to, and if I were one of those guys who throw money at ASMR talent (onlyfans?), then I can see how this could become quite addictive.

This is 100% by design, and if this LLM voice had an avatar of a woman character you find attractive, you’d be fucked.

It’s using my Nvidia GPU to do the LLM thing, so that may be the difference.

This could be!

Interestingly enough, I was playing around with LLama, as they have speech to text to interact with their chat bot, and it converts in near real-time with very good accuracy. So I do know that things can be fast and accurate, but I wish it was in Speech Note. LOL

For now, I may just to STT through my phone on a shared document with my laptop.

We can take 1/10 of the cost of this goddamn tunnel, and blanket Ontario with a cohesive network for active and public transportation for the betterment of everyone.

But nah, build one more lane, bro. And one more tunnel, bro. That’s all we need, bro.

So… are the flags at Ontario schools at half-mast because of this Nazi loser or something else?

Freedumb! 🤡

I really wanted to use it, because on my Android phone I use voice input all the time.

That’s why I’m thinking it’s a problem with Speech Note and not my mic, or how I’m speaking to it.

That’s a real shame. I can type quite fast, but my hand joints called it quite a while ago. 😵

Regardless, product origin labeling should be done accurately.

100%. Country of origin is as important for some as allergen warnings.

It’s incredible how entire product lines can be recalled for not having the right labels (even if there’s no risk to health and safety).

Yet these grocery stores can’t do a quick check of labels? Nah, it’s done intentionally to fleece customers.

And if they order products that appear to have misleading labels, then they should act as a firewall between the customer, and they need to let their supplier know before anything goes on store shelves.

The sad thing is, a report like this will just get consumed by an AI training algorithm, because it’s supposed to be a reputable source.

And now the information will be passed on, as incorrect as it is, as something that’s supposed to be reliable.

Oh, well, someone is getting filthy rich, so who cares? 🤑🤑🤑

I was ripped off way more than what I’d get back. Scammers win again!

Hate crime.

Should be easy to find this guy with the photo provided. An asshole like that is known to their entire community.
