How about "what I want is beyond my comprehension"?

That's quite often my default...

On the one hand ... “Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.”

On the other hand.. what else are friends there for?

Because a Ponzi scheme revolves around paying past people with fresh money without using it as promised at all.

Insurances (when fraudulent) collect money but don't pay out anyone unless forced by lawsuits. Ponzi schemes are s vers specific financial tactic.

At home, in private lodgings and dedicated smoking areas.

This is one thing once more which would be a non issue if it weren't for the people who throw their stubs everywhere and blow smoke in the faces of others.

I strongly disagree. The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim and this bot has zero transparency regarding its benchmark, database or other criteria. That combined with the fact that it's usage (apparently exclusively) seems to be highly pushed is enough to stay sceptical.

Personally I just blocked it but I have full understanding for anyone downvoting it, simply to communicate "I disagree with the existence of this bot in this context"

As your perception sounds quite negative I'll try to change your view!

Instead of looking down on people fanatifally following a "celebrity", take pity on them:

In short: their brain chemistry tricks them into thinking that they are following a friend and have the emotional reactions and interests as we'd hope our real friends do.

I find it really sad to be honest.

I'd like to invite you to watch V for vendetta. A good actor can do magic even behind a mask!

Edit: I'm not sure how Downey Jr would perform, just want to point out that a mask alone is not a blocker for a great performance.

Oh your description is fitting but the headline is... Well I perceive it as poisonous, especially with the knowledge that headlines are often the only thing being read.

[-] Scipitie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 3 months ago

The first link goes into amazing detail on that. In short: all your information concerning location as well as current IP and some other metadata gets send to a basically unknown company with no transparency on how that data is handled.

I highly recommend reading the first, linked post though!

This is the exact headline of an established newspaper. Wherever you're allowed to have your phone or for reading at work then this should be just as fine.

Please be consience on what NSFW should be and don't call for censorship in its name.

Ironically fitting to the article itself.

Two more things to add: you get downvoted not for the content but for the tone. People tend to not respond well to abuse, even if verbal - and at least I read a "make this shit work for me" in between your lines.

And more important: what you are asking is not easy. Wouldn't be on windows, wouldn't be on macos (disclaimer: I've never set up the arr stack on either but docker runtimes) . You are diving into server software no matter if you're the only user or not. Either you accept this and the learning curve ahead of you or you give up on it.

Done. That's a valid command, no error code, nothing. KISS!
