Alltså, du tar nog det lite för bokstavligt. Att de ska belöna dig är säljsnack. Om du inte hade varit kund sedan tidigare så är det ett välkomsterbjudande.

Sedan har det ju varit standard de senaste 30 åren eller så att man köper ett abonnemang med ny telefon rabatterat eller på köpet mot bindningstid på ett-två år. Jag vet inte hur du kunnat missa det.

TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it ( en.wikipedia.org )

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to...

Today I bottled my Chardonnay

I started it in early march with the idea that I wanted a dry but fresh and somewhat complex wine for summer. I infused some oak chips with rum, but only had them in for a week something early on with the hope that the harshness would dissipate with gases and what is left behind becomes subtly integrated in the wine. I was...

Thanks! I'll look into it!

Use whatever works for you. Don't take selection advice from people that make their operating system of choice a crusade and identity.

I think the "people are free to believe what they want to believe" is a mistake. This is the very statement that relativitises opinions and belief systems with facts and creates the illusion that they are all equal.

Look at the "facts don't care about feelings" crowd that believe wholeheartedly that statements pandering to their feelings are facts and disregard any actual facts as fake news. I don't think it's because they decided one day to pick and choose what is a fact and what is not, but they actually can't tell that there is a difference in opinions, beliefs and facts in the first place.

People need to accept that sometimes the truth is painful, that it contradicts what you want it to be, and worst of all - that you may have been wrong.

Edit: that said, I think people are free to believe whatever they want to believe when it comes to unprovable existential esoterica like personal values, afterlife, religion, whatever. As long they accept it is a personal belief and not an universal truth.

Reddit mirrors

I know it’s not popular and I’m typically against it but I was listening to a podcast and it made me think there are absolutely important communities that shouldn’t be on a centralised platform like Reddit. The contents of them are so important that it should be on the Open Social Web. I’m wondering if there is someone...

I'm not against it if it is on a server or a cluster that are separated from the regular feeds. I don't want to be spammed with mirrored content and try to interact with bots.

That's not brain fog. You're romanticizing a medical condition. My brain fog feels like my brain is walking through water. I know where I'm going and I know how to get there but every step on the way is slow and cumbersome and takes way more energy than it should. IDK what you are talking about. Delusional euphoria maybe.

Some time ago I had a fever dream confusing reality thing and when I woke up I had reason with myself that "no, I can't run a program in my brain". I couldn't decide if it was a disappointment or a relief.

The end of easily flashable Tuya devices was what prompted me to migrate to Zigbee too. The few devices that require cloud connection are blacklisted from any other network access.

But it is also a benefit that Zigbee can operate independently from the controller. If HA goes down for whatever reason and automation with it, at least light switches and whatnot are still working as usual.

I don't know. Maybe, if your WiFi and internet is up and you're invested in their products only. With Zigbee there is no vendor lock in.
