My dog is stupid. She doesn’t eat unless we tell her too, and if we’re eating she won’t eat, and if we’re watching TV she won’t eat. If we go near the kitchen she won’t eat.
Little dumbass is an attention hog
Like legit. I have to shake the bowl in front of her nose and tell her to eat and she looks at me all pouty
But I know she’s hungry cause she hadn’t eaten for 12+ hours cause she left her food for breakfast alone until I told her to eat at 3 pm
I just told her to eat and she finished her cup of dog food in a minute

Hmmm maybe you should set up alarms for yourself throughout the day as reminders to tell her to eat?

And when she was a puppy in her teething phase, we would tell her to stop chewing things (socks, rug, human, ball, furniture, wall) and then she’d give us that same frickin look and keep going
And sometimes when you look at her straight in the face, you can see her eyes drift apart
You can just hear her singular brain cell just pinging around in her skull

I think she doesn’t want to eat because she knows that we’re gonna start making food around noon and would rather have human food

We had Siri in 2011, does that counts as early AI?
Cause I've been seeing the clips of the Google CEO and it's obvious he used the word AI alot in that keynote, as like it almost implies that's what they have been only been focusing on
But Apple had Siri since 2011 but I do not see a breakthrough in Siri for...years? Maybe I am in a bubble.

“The Chicken McNuggets inside of that Happy Meal were unreasonably and dangerously hot (in terms of temperature),” and caused her “skin and flesh around her thighs to burn,” the complaint alleged, leaving her “disfigured and scarred.”

Any hot food you tightly press to your skin will cause burns, it doesn't need to be "dripping in frying oil" or whatever
If at least they had claimed all the nuggets were too hot it would maybe a different story, but one specific one out of 32 is just not possible. They all get prepared together
trim flicker
They're also general prepared to a standard etc fried in a certain temperature for a certain time and they should be safe for consumption
They're not safe to be pressed against someone's skin for 2 minutes tho
I just don't bite the part where it took 2 wholeass minutes for the mom to do anything about it Sounds like a skill issue to me

Netflix almost managed it, when almost everything was available there.
But now there are literally dozens of 'original content' streaming platforms, and subscribing to even a handful ends up costing as much if not more than what fully loaded cable packages used to cost 10+ years ago.

Click, download, watch on media player of choice ... VERSUS ... sign up for account, download app or go to site on browser, sign in, pay monthly, not find the content you were looking for, sign up for another service, pay monthly, find content you want, but it buffers and never offers max quality that the download would have, always online access only, limited to what devices you can access, different features on different devices and on app vs. browser ...
And that's not to mention locality limited content.
I don't know, piracy is pretty convenient when access to copyright legal services is problematic.
It also acts as a great way to archive content that are temporary in nature on streaming platforms (look at how many streaming services have come and gone, with exclusive content disappearing after).
The features availability is my biggest problem right now with several of these services. Dolby Vision content is only accessible with certain subscription tiers and on certain apps only. Same for some HDR10/HDR10Plus content.
Browsers for example never offer those.
Some TV apps never get updated.

You can count successful prosecutions of individuals for personal use copyright infringement with regards to RIAA and MPAA content on two hands in the United States. Plenty of free VPNs work as well, or just don't use public torrents if that's an option one wants to pursue, which certainly isn't as convenient admittedly 
But that is a mostly local issue, in very specific jurisdictions in the US and in Europe, but not a widespread problem.

The only way you're not being sold out by your VPN is if you are paying for the hosting yourself, and setup your own OpenVPN or WireGuard connection, and if the feds are persistent enough, there's nothing they can't find on you, which you probably already know.

The common person doesn't have to worry about any of this, only the cautious and paranoid do, which to be fair applies to at least those in this conversation. 5 minutes on r/privacy's megathread, a couple of attempts, and they'll barely ever have problems, and access to all the content they ever want.
I'm not saying don't use streaming services, but imo it is disingenuous to say it is more convenient given all the limitations of the apps and browser access, the number of services and apps with fractured content across all of them, quality of the streaming buffered, the payments to various services, no real centralized search mechanism to find what you want, etc. versus just finding the content you want and downloading it.
I subscribe to multiple myself, but I still find that I have to download some of the content directly to avoid the issues that the streaming platform WITH the content I want presents.
Like the mentioned DV/HDR and bitrate buffering issues.

I said it is convenient, but I suppose easy is implied. Then we simply disagree on the simplicity of access aspect of it.
Everything has a learning curve, and assessing one versus the other is a matter of perspective without benchmarks or references.
I offered my perspective, which was then expanded to specifically a very tech illiterate younger generation, on which point I mostly disagree. Gen Z aren't remotely as incompetent as they are portrayed to be, and the learning curve for downloading content is not as convoluted as it is being described either.

Arguably once the setup for a streaming service is done, it is easily way more convenient than pirate sites. You just added a lot of steps to make the process seem cumbersome
Let me try doing that for your preferred method of consumption
- Search the show you want on google
- Click on a link for the show/episode you want
- Click x on 12 different pop ups and navigate shitty UI
- Click on video
- Close scammy website page that opened when you clicked on the video (repeat 10 times minimum)
- Video plays
- Video happens to be a still image advertising what site to watch it from (equally bad)
- Go to google
- Repeat
And if you tell me “get ad block” than that’s arguably the same amount of set up as downloading Netflix and making an account
I won’t advocate for piracy, but in the end, depending on your experience it may be just as convenient as Netflix, albeit not legal
trim flicker
i get the idea that once you're familiar with piracy and where to actually find stuff without much hassle it can be pretty easy but again that requires you to know what you're doing

I actually have done that before and I still had people lowballing me
That is actually my biggest annoyance as people wasting my time I'll like have people sometimes request more photos acting super interested and I'm like yeah sure
Go out of my way take photos of certain things about like a lens that they wanted
They will respond like the next day and be like oh well can you give me it at this price
People just can't read I guess kek
trim flicker
Just ask for more then lowball it to the price you actually wanna sell for
They'll still ask for it to be cheaper tho
keen nest
That's what I've done before too actually
trim flicker
Mfs rather offer like their daughters hand in marriage than paying the requested price
keen nest
It wouldn't sell and then I'd raise the prices and people would dm me like wtf

I up to started telling people if I kept getting lowballed I'd just raise the price and hit them with the fomo
Actually worked a few times
People act like car salesman on this website and it's so cringe

Like I had the 200 mm f2 I decided to sell it because it just was inconsistent with focus and that lens was selling for $4,200 on eBay

if I can find a similar listing
keen nest
I posted on this website for like $3,600 or something because that's what I got it for and I was like hey I'm just trying to get what I paid for it and I had people messaging me like oh it doesn't go for that price it goes for $3,000 meanwhile I checked one that sold on eBay like a day prior and it went for $5,000 and I'm like I don't know where you guys are getting your sources from

I don't know that person that bought it for $6,200 is kind of an idiot to be on us
Like it's pretty easy to get that lens for around $3,500
But I'm also not going to sit here and sell it for $3,000 that's just weird
I kind of have to imagine what these people that the only reason they do it is because people actually have said yes and if that's the case then like I can't really blame them for trying either
You never know unless you ask etc

I've heard just casual conversations between videographers and they casually bring out like a 12k dollar Panavision lens in the coffee talk

It's on that weird contraption that holds it

there probably already exists something like that, but if we’re able to use something like that, theoretically we could make whole AR photographs where you’re able to walk around inside the photo

He said that the photo aspect he really disliked because it kind of got to the point where you weren't actually seeing the event with your eyes and people were talking about how that part in the video was really disturbing and dystopian like. Idk I didn't watch black mirror so I can't comment on it but people mentioned like recording memories and shit?
Idk I didn't like that at all I agree with this sentiment
Like... it's cool.. but it's also kinda weird
Sure enough parents in the comments talking about how they regret spending so much time like recording their kids growing up instead of just enjoying it
Idk was an interesting take
Also well whatever it is people have to develop apps for it too because mkbhd commented on that too that there was literally no apps for it yet
it was just like the first iphone when it got announced and there was nothing for it
I just would have thought these companies would like be under NDA and developing apps already

Seems like other platforms like YT have similar rules, they just don't get enforced? YT also doesn't want you running video advertisements if it takes the spot of an ad they could run themselves, but they don't seem to mind it
Don't know how twitch would be with enforcing those tho

but its unnecessarily attacking all the streamers who have the powerered by g fuel thing

trim flicker
Yeah it's just weird cause most of these are also on YouTube, but YouTube doesn't enforce them as much really
With Twitch, people are already feeling pretty negative on the platform overall so doing this just makes the red alerts ring
Twitch can be pretty bad with how they deal with these rules in general
blazing depot
yt also has a 70/30 split and plenty more reasons to use it over Twitch

Specially now that they're on an insane push to make more streamers just run a lot of ads

trim flicker
YT is better yeah just lacks more community friendly features + better user interface and experience overall
blazing depot
And yeah, as the article points out these ToS basically just kill all tournaments and charity streams onTwitch
trim flicker
Youtube also has similar rules against running competing advertisements but they don't really go after creators who do that, but yeah no one trusts twitch to not enforce that and ruin shit for everyone
trim flicker
Specially with their latest decisions that were just like "yeah fuck the creators we're doing it anyways!"
nova holly
i think youtube do enforce that
its about adverts
not necessarily your standard sponsor spot
No. YouTube's ads policies don't let you burn or embed advertiser-created and supplied video ads or other commercial breaks into your content.
i guess thats why people always talk over the ridge wallet ads etc
trim flicker
Yeah but they don't enforce that, Ludwig held those events with full on advertisements on it and it was fine

Because they're not stupid and because they can run their own ads on the stream uploads, yes
