Agreed, news needs to be held to a higher standard than it is now. There’s a whole list of journalist code of ethics that basically distils to be truthful, minimize harm, be independent, and be accountable.

*some example of minimize harm;

• don’t dig through a celebrities trash looking for condoms
• if there’s an accident you don’t show pictures of the dismembered victims
• don’t identify victims of abuse
• don’t claim an accusation as fact until proven (this why every news stations says “allegedly” all the time)

100% agree. Should be opt-in per email.

So this is another headline designed to get a kneejerk reaction outta people.

Basically if I’m a store that sends out a weekly email to subscribers, Google will “read” that email for SEO purposes.

Someone trying to get more add revenue, spread malware or just super dedicated to educating the population of lithium batteries. Or all three.

If that went through a censor, they need a new censor.

Well there’s your ticket out “we’re sorry the manufacture has discontinued this feature, here’s a new solution”.

Also its 100% better if the clients finds out the feature is missing via your company. A good company will make it right, ideally by adding the feature retroactively at no cost. If it can’t be added, open the checkbooks and refund the difference or find a new solution at a reduced cost (quote the new stuff, but not the replacements).

Sounds like it’s above your paygrade, if the company loses the client that’s not on you (even though they can still blame you)

Time to update the resume.

If you’re already on shaky terms, this mess could be pinned on you and you’ll be out the door before you get a chance to pull up the paper trail leading to your boss.

In a less drop everything and run scenario, Is this feature a physical add-on or something done via software. Could always dig the hole deeper to stall for time and say parts are on backorder or someone key to implementing the feature is on sudden bereavement leave.

The lion can’t jump higher than the house

Everyone saying you can’t have Graphene and google store apps as a daily driver must have given up day one or had some important app that they needed. I’m about 10 months in now.

Graphene sandboxes all the apps, including google services. Yes, it’d be ideal to ditch google all together but reality makes that not feasible for a lot of people. Which is why graphene went through the effort to makes google services work.

You do have to download Google Services Graphenes own mini “app store”. gmail 2FA works, play store/and restoring purchases works, Android Auto works, push notifications work.

It is true, some apps do not work on graphene. Mostly banking apps with extra security. There is a compatibility mode you can set for the app that reduces Graphene’s restrictions on the app. Sometimes that works.

So in short, yes the meme is true. We are still locked into google one way or another, but at least we don’t have to let them and other apps steal all our data.

Most of these are great, but I disagree with the Yenife

Safest bet is to be a child in Skyrim.

Not sure if there’s any mods left on the main sites to make them killable.

Filters or buy water by the gallon. You’ll have to actually talk to your neighbors, no one here can know for sure (unless your neighbor is here too).

They’re doing one 1 of four things:

• Enjoying lead free water because its a problem in your house
• Enjoying leaded water ignorant of the lead.
• Buying lots of bottled of water.
• Installed a filter system.

“I had a dream where I went to work. And now I’m awake, I have go to work “again” with the added the bonus of sorting out reality from dream. Its a good skill, you should learn it sometime”

In other words, harassment is a universal experience for service workers. It just comes in different forms.

And when it tries to hide, Process Explorer will hunt it down.

I like the alternate universe better, may Godzalli bring a swift end to the world!

Minecraft has a ton of potential. So many ways to develop creativity, problem solving, redstone, and using commands.

Then there’s modding. navigating the web to find safe ones, navigate the file explorer to put them in the right spot. Troubleshoot mods that don’t work together. (I remember having to manually change hundreds of Item IDs before they changed the system).

5 is probably too young to start with mods, but texture packs would probably go well, open up paint and start scribbling on blocks. Eventually give them paint.net (or anything more complex than Win Paint) and start messing with layers and saving things to the right file type.

Does the kindle fire let you do USB transfer for music and books? Transfer stuff manually. (Amazon taking the download feature away from the store, so books will need to be got elsewhere) I’m a big fan of Standardebooks.org, all free and public domain, not a lot of children’s books, but should be good by the time they’re 10. Although the LCD screen probably isn’t the best for reading, I’d get them an eink for reading time. Also easier to separate reading time from game time. Also if you can go to the public library for physical books. The simple responsibility of borrowing a books, taking care of it and having to return it on time is good. (I’m rambling off topic…)

Install a bunch of easy puzzle games. I’ve always like Flow, there’s also simple math ones, sudoku, jigsaws, word searches, find the object, there’s probably a hundred others.

The tablet is only as detrimental as you make it. Find games with an actual story that the kid has to read. 5 might be a bit young for RTS games, but those will definitely make him read and think. When they get stuck, show them how to find the guide online and read just enough while avoiding story spoilers.

The one time excell doesn’t assume the cell is a date.

That’s kind of the point. If you don’t want to make the commitment to finishing the game, don’t charge people for early access.

You could make hurt less by offering partial refunds -100% refund at 50% complete -20% refund at 80% complete And whatever’s in between.

The entire point is to encourage the developer to keep making the game. If the developer stops developing or starts makes garbage their funding will be at risk.

The main concern is collections. If the developer runs away with the money, or just runs out of funds and can’t finish and can’t refund everybody, then yeah its kinda fucked.
