they quite literally are recording constantly. how else can they detect the trigger phrase? they only difference is that they are supposed to delete these recordings after the phrase isnt heard.

I guess that depends on your definition of recording? An onboard microprocessor waiting for a trigger word is not storing or transmitting anything while waiting and that’s acceptable to me.

could the lemmy.ml censorship drama be related to this?

I think it’s just cooling down from Reddit migration. Same thing with Voyager donations (albeit smaller scale).

If United couldn’t get anybody to bite at the vouchers, then the employees should have stood the whole flight.

Yeah, that is not a solution. The FAA is salivating at the thought of this. Everyone must have a seat for takeoff and landing.

The script is pretty easy to read and follow along manually if you need to.

Nice work

DST is bad, byte me

You can also do code block with plain:

```plain

you can’t file just your state tax returns online

Then either I’m misunderstanding you, or I’m filing my taxes wrong lol

Sounds like a state problem. It works great in my state. It will get better in time.

If I was an homeowning instead of renting, I would have bought a much better refrigerator at trice the cost. But I won’t pay that much for an appliance I’m not going to own, and my landlord won’t pay it for one he wouldn’t use, so I’m stuck with a cheap and noisy refrigerator.

Right, I’ve been on both sides of your example. I’ve both bought a refrigerator while owning a home (and picked a more expensive model), and I’ve also had a fridge replaced by a landlord with a cheap model.

Again, for me the renting side of this is a “pro”. I will second guess not splurging if I know it is an option while owning. If I rent, I just don’t care because its not an option in the first place, and I love that.

I’m currently renting a home for space for gardening. Tomato seedlings went out last weekend :)

So there’s that, and there’s retirement. Having set expenses (aside from taxes) is super important and you’ll never have that with renting when you’re retired.

I don’t consider my home a retirement vehicle. I save separately for that. But I do understand that for some people, it is, and that’s understandable.

I never understood the obsession with homeownership.

I’ve owned. It kinda sucked. The things most people think of as “pros” (like being able to renovate) were not that great for me. I’d spend a lot of time thinking about things I could change/improve, and then doing them.

My brain operates differently renting. I don’t really care about things like that since its not an option in the first place. It saves me time/money/stress and I spend more time living my life instead of maintaining a property.

Of course there are drawbacks with renting, specifically shitty landlords, but to me there are more pros than cons.

What made you stop?

Yep, I should be able to peg 600mbps 24/7

Technically its not exclusive as their data and messaging is distributed by other channels, including traditional, and their own site(s)

Not in my experience. I know because I’ve corresponded with my office, and complained about posts that aren’t tied to a particular weather product (like the Weather Story) or disseminated otherwise.

It depends on the government I suppose. US National Weather Service offices posts bunch of weather info exclusively to Twitter (and sometimes Facebook).

Good. Also you shouldn’t need a relationship with a corporation (account) to get information from government agencies…
