Exactly

Also, the key word in these type of studies is "linked", which means that's only a correlation, with no proof of causality.

The way it's written, it makes you think that the screen time causes anxiety and depression, but there are other studies that suggest the causality goes in the other direction, kids that suffer from depression tend to spend more time in social media.

Keepass is exactly that. Basically all the client side parts, and the database is a single encrypted file that you can sync however you want.

Exactly. LLMs don't understand semantically what the data means, it's just how often some words appear close to others.

Of course this is oversimplified, but that's the main idea.

The ones that monitor torrent to sue people are lawyer firms, not the government.

My bank's app has way less functionality than the web version, but it's used as a second factor to auth some operations, so I have to use both.

That was my first thought. Since when boycotting (aka not choosing) something is illegal?

I was hired to implement a CRM for an insurance company to replace their current system.

Of course no documentation or functional requirements where provided, so part of the task was to reverse engineer the current CRM.

After a couple of hours trying to find some type of backend code on the server, I discovered the bizarre truth: every bit of business logic was implemented in Stored Procedures and Triggers on a MSSQL database. There were no frontend code either on the server, users have some ActiveX controls installed locally that accessed the DB.

It's really great on the Stream Deck. The controls work perfectly. I played it a lot while commuting.

For a YouTube replacement, maybe look into Nebula, it's a subscription streaming service, but owned by the content creators, no ads. It also has some podcasts.

Regarding music, I listen mostly to somaFM. It's an Internet radio with lots of different stations. Mostly independent artists. It's free, no subscription, no ads, listener supported (you can donate/buy merch to support them).

It's not only salaries:

about half of Signal’s overall operating budget goes towards recruiting, compensating, and retaining the people who build and care for Signal. When benefits, HR services, taxes, recruiting, and salaries are included, this translates to around $19 million dollars per year.

It says that they have 50 full time employees.

128

Bigger vehicles can be safer in crashes, but far more dangerous for pedestrians.

And the average size of cars and trucks in the U.S. continues to grow. Some current models – like that of the Toyota Rav4 – are a third larger than they were only 15 years ago.

That’s led to a 77% increase in pedestrian fatalities since 2010.

I like SomaFm. Lots of different ambient music stations without commercials. I Specially like SpaceStation and DroneZone for coding.
