Comment on OpenAI quietly removes ban on military use of its AI tools in ~tech
Jedi They did not remove the motto, it was moved under Google’s code of conduct during the Alphabet restructuring and Alphabet picked up the slogan “Do the right thing.”They did not remove the motto, it was moved under Google’s code of conduct during the Alphabet restructuring and Alphabet picked up the slogan “Do the right thing.”

From what I’ve heard and my little experience, it’s a really well-polished app. That being said, there are alternatives other than Spotify.
I’m using YouTube Music which has been really good and because of its access to YouTube, has the largest library of any streaming service as far as I’m aware. I have some music in my playlist that isn’t officially distributed, but because it’s on YouTube, it’s there.
I also had a great experience with Deezer, and if it weren’t for YouTube Premium’s other options, I would probably still be with them for their HiFi.

I’m definitely going to give this a shot. Thank you!

My nearest place has an annual membership starting at >$10,000, and just to pay-by-game is at least $300 before you even get your equipment.
I have a fairly large ditch in my neighborhood, could I set up my own disc golf course? Closest place to me that says it has disc golf is an hour with tolls.

I’ve tried Meetup, but unfortunately my area isn’t super active. I’ve even looked at doing volunteer work, but I can’t find any place around me. Actually, now that I think about it, I have an orphan highway that I might could adopt.

I think if you were in, say, New York City, you could find plenty to do just walking around … And if you live in suburbia (specifically the type that's neighborhoods and subdivisions) or rural areas, your options are further limited
You’re right, I felt so alive when I went to Washington DC, and I didn’t have to seek things out, I just stumbled across things to do. Living in the suburbs, I’m just passing the time until I go to work again. I thought having a four day work-week would give me more free time, but instead I’m just wasting away that time.
My library isn’t nearby, but I might just have to suck it up and start making that trek.

There used to be malls and shopping as a pastime, now with online shopping many malls have stuttered; there used to be arcades, mine shut down a while ago; hell, there used to be soda shops. Is church the only third place still standing?

I enjoy going to the movies, but that’s pretty much the only getting out I do. When I hang out with friends, it’s typically to bars, but I’m feeling unfulfilled drinking to drink.

I understand that it won’t affect them, but I feel my Reddit addiction was affecting me and the way they handled that situation was completely inexcusable. I still miss it from time to time, but I try to find better uses for my time.

Comment on Do you sleep inclined? in ~health
Jedi Woah, that actually makes a lot of sense.I used to lay T-shirts on my bed with the bottom nearest me and the neck farthest away, meaning I leaned over a lot. My back would become sore, then I would stop and procrastinate. Now, I put the T-shirts parallel with the edge of the bed.
Woah, that actually makes a lot of sense.

I was considering buying some more pillows, but a bed riser might be the better option.

Comment on NY Times 2023 Faces Quiz in ~misc
Jedi I got exactly half (26/52), not great. I did get Ayo Edebiri, which was the least recognized, so I’m proud of that at least. I’ll never ace these so long as sports is relevant.I got exactly half (26/52), not great.

Lol, in what world is A- a “really terrible” score? That’s the highest score out of the films listed here. Just because you can point to another failure with the same score doesn’t mean the score is bad. Plenty of films have done much better with much worse scores.
$7.4M to get up-and-comers on a billion dollar game series seems like a great deal.
