Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there’s no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.

Well overall, using these techniques has probably resolved a ton of investigations where the leads ran out and it being an overall positive. I think it would still be better that DNA from these sources cannot be used in trial. So a DNA match can give you a new angle to find other elements, but the fact DNA was used to find a trail shouldn’t be admissable.

I guess the saying “better 100 guilty people go free rather than an innocent man should suffer” applies though.

My bias though is probably skewed through the media I consume. I do watch a lot of channels like Lackluster YouTube videos (shows corruption and double standards in policing). I do try to balance it out with channels like Code Blue Cam which does highlight good policing too, but I would say I have an inherent distrust with policing nowadays.

Well prosecutors and cops are incentivized to get arrests. Whether to pump numbers up for promotions or to use in campaigning. So it wouldn’t surprise me if cops turn a cold case into a witch hunt because some partial DNA match in a “private” database gave them a few suspects and then they start to build some case to fit the suspects.

Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?

On the website on a desktop, the shorts section has an X on the top right of its section. That should hide shorts for a few days. It says 30 days but I’m not convinced.

You can click the options on any video to say you aren’t interested in that video or that channel.

You can delete videos from your watch history if your algorithm gets tainted. Like my nephew was watching a bunch of train videos on my TV. So algo started sending me all these train recommendations. I just deleted them from my watch history and haven’t seen a train video since.

I have a pixel 8 that doesn’t have any issues, but I can read the title that says Google’s quality control is shit. So I can understand my phone is okay and other people have problems. Even if I bought 100 pixels, my sample size would still be too small to dismiss other people’s claims.

Funnily enough, this is my first comment I’ve made about how my pixel is fine. So now I’m part of the problem :3

That’s not a perfect use case for it. That’s a central authority (venue) selling tickets to anyone who wants to buy them. But instead of using a local database and approving transfers from person to person and losing the ability to reverse transactions due to fraud, it’s hosted in the wild west of crypto.

There’s nothing stopping a venue from offering your perfect use case in a centralized system, but they outsource it to Ticketmaster (namely because Ticketmaster owns like 80% of music venues or something) so they don’t have to deal with it.

Your scenario outsources it to the block chain, who will charge gas for the transactions instead of ticketmaster charging fees.

I don’t know the value in a decentralized IP rights system. If the key holder gets phished, you can lose your rights to a TV series you’ve been working on. (Like Seth Greene)

He wouldn’t have lost it and had to pay back the ransom in a traditional contract. Having a contract centralized and enforced by the legal system has many perks and I can’t ever see how a decentralized rights platform can enforce itself.

Im planning on giving it a try. Thought I would try dual booting pop os.

Windows wants me to update to 11, but my processor is too old. So if I’m going to update my processor, I’ll need to update the motherboard. But the OEM license is tied to the motherboard. So I’ll have to buy a new copy of windows just to get on 11.

So just gonna see if all the things I like to play work on pop os.

I think the biggest thing is that I use c# for hobby programming, and I know .net core should run on Linux, but not sure about the IDE.

but seriously, any time some one says they use the J sound, they explain by spelling it JIF. It’s just a joke though. No one cares how you pronounce it.

An example of a word where spelling it correctly doesn’t convey how to pronounce it is colonel

Garage had two Gs, both pronounced different.

Both are correct, imo. However, it’s hard to stand by that when you have to spell it JIF for people to know you are using the J variation of G.

Yeah, if we could not be 2016 election deniers, that be great.

Electoral college won’t change until Dems flip states like Texas or something to where the presidential seat is guaranteed every year.

If the DNC didn’t want Trump to win, they shouldn’t have put up Hillary. If the repubs didn’t want Biden to win, they shouldn’t have put up Trump.

Sadly, I think the DNC made a mistake in not setting up a replacement for Biden and letting him try for two terms.

Another thing to consider is just because someone says something that is not true based on reality, doesn’t mean they lied. People’s memories are terrible and easily manipulated.

Just to add some context, the statue was on private land. The decision to pull it down was by the owner.

If they weren’t ambiguous, then you wouldn’t see them getting popular. The difference of opinion drives engagement which means it’s more likely to show in your feed because that’s how most social media algorithms work.

Things that everyone agrees on don’t get engagement, so they don’t bubble up to the top.

Pineapple and pepperoni is better, because pepperoni tastes better than ham

I don’t think Vader is idolized because of his morals, it’s because his character is cool.
