Choosing to have kids means you’re going to have a tiny human that you can shape and nurture into an incredible adult. The choices you make as a parent directly impact how your kid grows up, what they do professionally or for fun, their values and their moral compass. Its a huge responsibility but also its incredibly rewarding when you see the choices you made actively make your child into a better person. Every time you see your child make the right choice on their own based entirely on your earlier guidance, every achievement that they make, every little improvement in their capabilities

I’m guessing my kids are younger than yours, but I’ve taken the approach of simply keeping a loose eye and ear on what they’re watching to make sure they’re not on too bad of content and of course limiting how much time they can spend on brainrot content. They spend most of their TV time watching PBS kids or some ripped DVDs on my Jellyfin

The family thing can be a pain, Microsoft has a lot of half baked ideas

I concur, Microsoft forced me to create a family to setup my daughter’s Minecraft account and even then I had to configure it incorrectly to add the game because it’s age rating was too high for a 5 year old and Microsoft’s own parental approval feature doesn’t override that. (I at least could change it back to being a 5 year old’s account afterwards) I need to figure out what setting I have to enable to let her do multiplayer at some point but so far she doesn’t have anyone to play with yet

Win+Shift+arrow to kick the active window to another monitor is handy when remoting into a PC with multiple monitors.

Also, when did windows get rid of the idea of a primary display? It seems to just open software on whatever screen it feels like now…

It would probably helpfully suggest LinkedIn after you so much as type the L

I mean, Excel’s formulas are just scripting, so you are programming if you do any formulas.

Excel is pretty powerful if you have some data to manipulate or some math to math, but also it’s generally the worst tool for the job, but it’s at least a tool you can almost always assume will be available

I keep subscribing, listening regularly then stopping and unsubscribing from various NPR podcasts and honestly I can only conclude that they bake in ads based on the listener and will do less ads for new listeners because I swear it’s always a very small amount of ads initially every time

Having started primarily listening to audio books and sneaking in some podcasts between books it’s very night and day comparing the experience of listening to each, with shitloads of ads vs none (or just “this is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. To learn more or to volunteer visit LibriVox.org”) so it’s much more hands off with audio books at least

Antenna Pod is great! Lately I’ve been using Podcast Republic and I can’t remember why I tried it specifically, but importantly it has very in-depth retention and download rules so I can exclude previews of the paid feed that are only 20 minutes long, sort podcasts by date or by title (handy if you pull in LibriVox books by RSS feed), create a podcast from a folder of files, and various other handy features.

Jon Stewart’s podcast is also good if you want interviews with experts. He also gets far more nerdy and into the weeds in his podcast than he ever was allowed to on TV or streaming

So THATS why they built effigy mounds everywhere! They were just responsibly burying their waste!

I swear when I first heard 321 it was “at least 3 copies of the data in at least 2 physical locations with at least one copy being offline” but now I’m hearing of different storage mediums instead of different locations

The reason each program does its own thing is for legal liability. One downloads what media you search for, it’s up to the person operating the software to choose media for which they can legal download. The next manages the metadata and organization of media but is up to the user to supply media for which they hold appropriate licenses to. Etc. Etc.

By putting all of the pieces together into one package you lose that deniability of software which has legal usecases but happens to be able to be combined to do something illegal.

You know how normies pirate? They find free/cheap streaming sites and hop from one to the next as they get shut down

“A rising tide raises all ships” has become my mantra as I try to do small things for others and for my community

What does one’s kinks have to do with their shopping practices?

Could also be they were only at the summer camp for a couple of weeks or whatever and kid brain with poor concept of time confused the timelines

Or an ogre?

Looks like the one this is talking about is expected to be open hardware + open software. Given its based on the ESP32 chipset, should be relatively inexpensive and fairly standard

Real talk, H.G. Wells was a fantastic author and his biggest hits are both immediately recognizable enough to be a performative conversation starter while also having the added bonus/hazard of potentially accidentally getting into it.

War of the Worlds, The Time Machine and The Invisible Man are all ones I’ve recently listened via Librivox (I linked the specific readers I listened to) during my commutes, but of course, my goal is to actually enjoy the books

Seeing a modern vehicle after a crash and how the person is doing its incredible how much crash safety has improved. I’ve seen vehicles that barely look like vehicles and the person walked away shaken but largely uninjured
