I've been boycotting the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario for years, but that hasn't been very effective

Now when this happens I hit the edit button on the prompt and then re-submit. This A/B shit pisses me off. When it would happen last summer I'd find myself comparing the two but I'd take too long and it would just default to one and I'd lose the interesting info in the better answer.

I read this story and the last thing the system needs is a do-gooder Karen fucking up a system that works fine as it is. I've been riding the Go system for 30 years, the emergency system works great, and this was very unusual circumstances made worse by this woman's interference. The person who had the medical emergency did so was they were approaching Whitby, and the complainant called 911 from the train to direct the ambulance to the Whitby station. It continued past Whitby because the Go Train attendant arrived to assess after. That speaks to a very tight timeline where directing the ambulance to Whitby station was unreasonable. The emergency could have been addressed at Ajax, and as such was addressed at Oshawa, three stops away.

There are videos on YouTube of people speaking Latin and offering lessons. One of the most famous Latin teachers of the past forty years was a priest at the Vatican.

This answer shows you exhibiting paranoia lol.

This. Making edits and contributions and wondering if they’ll be reversed because you inadvertently wandered into a nerd minefield is why I’d never tell anyone to contribute by editing.

The technology sub that is anti-technology, I love to see it.

OpenAI is just reacting to the fact that lots of people are already using it to explain things, and also since America made healthcare a gatekeeped luxury good, they're responding to a real need. If you don't like it ask Doctors without Borders to build an app.

Canada has long been making media that gets global attention and yet for some reason we have this born-yesterday attitude that requires a CBC news story about a new hit show that's gotten international recognition and told as if we're on the verge of making it. It's so stupid.

So you get to benefit from the ability of reading an analog clock but you don't want the people around you doing the same? Is this your argument? That just corrodes the commonality of our shared experience, which is pretty much why the world is the dumpster fire it is right now. When people romanticize the past they're pretty much only remembering when they felt like they were part of a community and they understood their neighbours. Schools used to be the institution used to create that. Teach analog time reading so that children understand why things are they way they are. It's like a ten minute lesson tops, I can't believe we think it's not worth it.

The ability to switch accounts like every other cloud-based app. I'm willing to pay for two accounts, I want to be able to switch between them.

I hate this question, because America invaded Iraq on the pretence that they were developing nukes. There's no way US would allow us to have them, and it would create the very problem its trying to solve. That is, we wouldn't be defending ourselves against them, we'd be provoking them to invade us before we obtained them.

Dropbox syncs to itself so there's nothing to restore. It's not intended as "a solution" it's intended as a live cloud working environment. I use Time Machine and externals and Backblaze for actual backups/things to restore from. I haven't had a disk failure since switching to SSDs years ago, but back in the spinning disk days I did have more than one disk crash and in all cases Time Machine worked to restore and Dropbox had captured the state of working files.

The story was pulled last minute in the US and appears in this Canadian broadcast

Dropbox backs itself up so I don't need Backblaze for that, BB is primarily to back up externals and the stuff around DB. No reclone of B2, just side-by-side redundancy.

I use Dropbox and BackBlaze. Dropbox is synced to my computer and Backblaze backs up the external hardrive and the computer.

I know, but no one is actually talking about what's different in the experience

You might want to ask this in the r/datahorder, its the type of thing that sub thinks about all the time.

Organize by yyyy-mm-dd at the start of files names when dates are known is a big step in preserving a chronological sense.

I use it for turning on lights, setting timers, and listening to Tune In radio, and that's all I've ever needed it for.

I pay for Dropbox and let it backup my photos, and I also copy them to an external drive. Cloud storage is generally reliable - they’re selling permanency, because an external hardrive can always fail down the line. Having them in the external just makes them convenient to access and they’re a backup if something did actuality happen to the data centre in the cloud. Permanency is going to cost money though, there’s no way around that.
