All diets work.

They all boil down to one thing. Consuming less calories than you burn. You cut out sugar? You’re eating less calories. Intermittent fasting? You’re eating less calories. Atkins? You’re eating less calories.

They key isn’t about which works better than the other, it’s which works for you. What diet are you going to stick to?

You love bread? Atkins isn’t going to work for you so maybe you try intermittent fasting.

There are nuances, sure, but ultimately, they all do the same thing.

You don’t own the footage your cameras record. As soon as people realize that, they’ll stop using them.

You might still be. I’ve seen why people are doing with MoltBot. (͡•_ ͡• )

Nuclear Plant Safety Inspector.

You could be right: The bots have been very bad but I agree that I’m seeing them get shutdown faster lately.

Name checks out.

Oh, just getting to the interface where I can run SQL is a pain in the ass. It’s hidden behind Oracle’s terrible UI.

I am forced to use Oracle at work. It is, in fact, hot garbage.

Are there usually 19 holes on golf courses? I thought there were only 18.

How many headlines have we seen that start with “MAGA turns on”

No. They didn’t.

I got mine for my dogs. I wanted to be able to check on them when they were outside while I was working.

It does not has unless it detects dogs or people on my yard. It had a feature to block out the street or my neighbors property, and I did that.

I have a Eufy T8210 with a Home Base. The Home Base holds the hard drive. Eufy does have cloud storage now so I don’t know if they still sell this or not.

Some of their products also have an SD Card slot.

I don’t speak German, but this post broke the language barrier. 🐈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I have a doorbell camera with local storage. I specifically got one that doesn’t transmit my data to their servers.

Everything I do from now on will be self hosted. Fuck Big Brother.

I don’t think there is a one size fits all answer. The reason why women’s groups exist is because most of history has been men’s only clubs. Don’t need to make a space for that since it’s normalized.

But, as empathy and respect starts to grow in modern society, those spaces may not be needed.

I’m a fan of letting others individual organizations decide for themselves.

That is especially true for sports. I know trans sports is a complicated topic. There are some sports that give men an advantage and some that women are more suited for. There are others with no statistical advantage. I think you need to let experts in those fields make those calls bc they know what is safer for the players than I do. (assuming they aren’t just prejudice of course)

u up?

Roblox looks cute like Minecraft so parents don’t pay attention to it.

Most games have a chat feature tacked on, but Roblox is more like a chatroom with games added on. It’s a chatroom where around 60% of the user base is under the age of 16. 40% of the users are under the age of 12.

Grooming starts on Roblox but the bad stuff happens in places like Discord private servers. Roblox doesn’t do anything to stop it because the can claim ignorance since it doesn’t happen directly in their chat.

I know a kid who went through this. I was the one that had to flag all the messages for Discord to get involved. The kid talked to me about the online groomers bc he wasn’t comfortable talking to his parents since he hadn’t told them that he was gay. I can’t imagine kids like him who deal with abuse because they don’t have anyone they feel safe to tell.

If you have kids that play these games, talk to them about online safety. Make sure you have a plan for when something bad happens. When not if. Work together with your kid to find a third party that you trust and the kid would feel comfortable talking to if something happens and they are afraid to tell you, maybe a relative or a close friend.

Reading only the headline: “why would you write code by hand? Would your fingers cramp up? How are you going to test it?”

Reading the article: “Oooohhhh.”

I’m so glad he got to spend his life with you. It fills my heart to know that Jake got a chance to receive all the love he deserved. He looks like he was a very good boy.

It’s like people are getting dogs, then expecting them act like humans. The dog gets a bad rap but it’s just a dog!

Also, give him an extra treat for me!
