I am not downplaying the phone spying on me, I imagine it is.

But ads are the least of my concerns. I see less ads now than at any other time in my life.

So how do I know if it is happening to me?

Reddit was like that too.

Because the line break in markdown is two spaces.

Markdown is pretty great to work with.

You are right. I forgot we were talking about a web front end, and I was think of an application. I take it back.

I am just so used to watching you tube with applications on desktop and mobile I forgot we were talking about you tubes new web front end.

Not really. At least if you plan to have it customizable in the first place.

That’s a lot of effort when you can just freetube.

I really like Kate! Been my text editor for what 20 years now?

Isn’t unraid based on slackware?

Redhat.

Stuck with redhat on the server, had another server with Gentoo, and then Mepis and Debian for desktop.

Now days its arch and fedora.

That’s interesting. I have seen lightning split a tree and then follow wires into a house blowing out the wall all long the path of the wires. I have also seen it lift up decking when following underground wires.

But if lightning hits with no lightning rod and ground is equally everywhere I guess I could imagine this result.

Well yeah. My bicycle odemeter has settings for different size wheels.

We used to take vehicles in for calibration and then all runs had to use the same psi in the tires.

I have test all three methods. GPS is the best, but it has drop outs. You can add an inertial gyro system to compensate, but that becomes sloppy the longer it goes without GPS.

The tire method has a lot of variances, but the measure at the transmission is often worse.

Or don’t use YouTube on their platform.

OK I understand now. I thought you were suggesting that if people were working from home but returned to the office they would be less likely to be replaced. In the same position.

I don’t understand the correlation. If you work entirely in an office the odds are no different that you can be replaced by AI or offshore workers.

The location of where you are doing work changes neither of those things.

Hybrid is the worst. I mean its better than making me be there all the time, but it also lets people get away with all the bad habits: mixed in office / at home meetings, lack of documentation, unclear directives, favoritism, etc.

Hybrid means that the people are still unable to figure out how to communicate effectively, that they are going to start saying nonsense like “institutional knowledge” because they let people get away with it.

In the scenario I described to you trans people are much more comfortable than have 2 sex bathrooms.

A single sex bathroom means there is no choice that need to be made. They do not have to present as anything, nor be judged as anything. It is simply a person in a public room, and a private room for the private time.

It also means (as I described it) the sharing of the hand washing mirror facilities are barely different than being in the hallway. Do people share hallways? Of course. So this open to the public space adds a level of protection.

Then for the private space it is single use. One person.

I feel like I am having a hard time getting this across, and I don’t know why.

There will always be somebody who doesn’t like something. But you normalize things and then people adapt.

They like it better because they feel it is more private.

Nobody cares about washing their hands or fixing thier hair or whatever in front of others, and the appreciate that when they are doing the business part their is a completely private space.

I just visited a high school that does exactly this, and no one cares.

In fact they like it better.

You put the handwashing station in an open area, visible to the hallway.

You put floor to cieling stalls for the actual doing your business part.

I have been to a lot of places that do this and nobody cares. It is an added level of safety that you are either in private or visible to passers by.

I let the charity be the deciding factor. Some times I will just get a bundle and move the sliders all the way over for EFF because I would have donated to them anyways. Other times I see that the cause (relief, children, etc) is just worth doing. If I don’t play the games, at least the money was not wasted.
