  • #ProblemsOfTheUpper-Lowers

    Because I want to helpful: if you are moving to a home large enough for you to feel that an intercom is needed, then the cost associated with having a simple system installed would be the best way to maintain your privacy, well, your privacy to those without physical access to your home at least.

    I can’t think of any intercom-related reason that outweighs the needless additional network load, nightmarish privacy policies, and instant gratification through retail buttons, that a network of echo’s could provide.









  • Can we instead/alongside just actually develop software that doesn’t just take up whateber is currentlt available RAM and power???

    Now if, IF, apps spent those resources on why I downloaded the app, then I’d have much less of an issue. Buuuut so much dogshit runs in the background for every fucking app, all sorts processess for gathering irrelevant telemetry, as well as aggressively live microupdates of information that I do not require a near-live accuracy of.

    If software assumed it was being designed and ran with the lunar program approach (only what the desired need requires in a fair amount of time), we would get so much life out of everything…

    Fuck capitalism. Also, what a hard failure and shortsighted approach it is, when I would pay significantly more for apps and hardware itself if everthing from the OS to front facing UI was conservative in its resource drain, or at least had a true custom setting that actually did that. I mean I would at least pay more than they currently make by serving me ads based on all the bullshit.





  • When it comes to news, I already know that very few possible events would have facts that were notable enough to change how I feel overall about the topic/event.

    But, since I intentionally consume way less news than I used to, other than some Jon or John clips, I read my news.

    Any fact finding I end up doing it just a hodgepodge of finding what I can through search, relying on primary sources where possible obviously.

    So, when it comes to news, reddit was, and Lemmy is the place I go to be aware of events that I’d see if I watched legacy media / social media. And to just vent and maybe learn something.

    I’m a title only kind of gal these days. Anything more, and I’d end up as a headline myself in short time.


  • If you like romance literature, I can name a few, but suffice to say, my favorite narrators are really great at lending each character their own tones, inflections, and cadence, while not being too disracting to listen too.

    In traditional reading, you get used to the idea that (“) before a sentence indicates that what follows is said aloud by a character, and you often don’t need any context to figure out who said what. And the (”) at the end indicates that what follows isn’t said by them. Your brain hardly even notices them and yet you very rarely are reading dialogue without knowing its speaker, unless its the purpose of the author that you don’t.

    Any narrator who can help convey the concept of quotation marks as seamlessly as my brain can while reading text is very appreciated in my books.
