You know, sailors used to get scurvy because of C deficiency back a couple centuries ago. Vitamin C degrades really easily, but is there any way you can store it long term other than pills or tablets? I'm just wondering if it would have been possible to do this in the past with the technology that was available.

I just need to rant somewhere. I've been looking for work for a long time, and so LinkedIn is part of the sites I regularly check for jobs.

Today I had a message from some asshat saying they've launched an AI marketplace and behold, they need my help to improve it! I could be making thousands a week detecting fringe cases that AI isn't yet good at solving! And I could be making friends with like minded assholes I mean creative experts helping AI!

Doesn't it sound like a dream???

The worst part is that I don't think it was a scam. For sure one wouldn't be making thousands per week, I'm sure that's misleading, but the rest of the platform sounded believable enough. Which means there's going to be plenty of "experts" flocking to it.

Curious if you have this option where you live and how it works.

So I'm housesitting and the people that live here left their bins about 3/4 full. The collection is fortnightly here in Sydney.

I put the bins out at the right time like every other neighbor, but the next morning all bins were empty, except mine.

I was told to make an online claim to the council, and I did, thinking it would be completely ignored. Their website says that if you put the bins out and they miss collecting, they'll come back and pick it up in two business days. I just entered my name, address and phone and to my surprise, sure enough, after the weekend they came and picked up just my bin. Nobody requested any proof of my claim, they didn't even reply or confirm they were going to do it- they just did it. They also didn't care that my name isn't listed as a resident of the address I gave.

Happy days I guess. But this got me thinking, how do they know the fault is on their side and not mine? How do they prevent people from abusing the system? Do they have dashcams they check to see? Or the number of people asking for collection is so low that they just don't care? Does anyone know?

Imagine you had a car and somehow you manage to paint/mark it so it's identical to any other police car in your area. Assuming you don't use the siren lights ( or, hell, it's your car, do whatever you want) for how long you reckon you can drive that around before someone picks up on it?

This is the right community for this question, right, it has to be

Privacy friendly ftw. I'm not satisfied with the amount of post processing mine does to images, I have little to no control over it. It's like it adds very aggressive blur and sharpen filters for everything, and when you zoom up everything looks "blobby".

My previous phone took way better photos, and I still use it if I need something looking a bit better. But it would be nice if I could just take decent photos with what I got, since I don't always carry my old phone everywhere.

Suggestions?

I've seen people posting tweets from public figures talking about alligators, seen other people joking about alligators. It appears to me that the issue is political, not environmental, but I don't fully get the picture.

What's going on?

No idea what this is. I guess just a regular lichen on someone's mailbox in Sydney.

Don't judge my camera skills 😰 I did what I could with my phone, I wasn't drunk

How do you guys get the image visible on the post itself? I need to open it to see it, I must be doing something wrong

AI driven Emotional Wellness Apps in particular. Good to see people noticing this
