Hypothetical: If an old lady, like my mom, missed the Olympic figure skating yesterday and wanted to watch it today. How would she go about getting a recording of the full program to watch tonight. If she were to get it from a torrent tracker or something like that for local download, what would be the exact steps should would be taking so I could warn her not to go down that route to avoid violating any copyright laws.
Thanks lazy mastodon.
Dear #lazyweb #lazymastodon I bought my wife a #sourdough baking set. I now need to get a #sourdoughstarter.
Anybody know where I can get one near #oakpark #Illinois (#Chicago)?
(Besides, obviously conjuring one out of thin air!)
#lazyweb #lazymastodon help me out here?
My wife is on corporate social media and gets ads for Skylight, a touchscreen display to help families keep their calendars straight. Their advertising seems to work well because she's gunning to buy it.
The ads promise the world. Happy family, kids engaged, doing chores, magical meal planning, etc.
I don't like the idea of a single use ewaste device with a monthly subscription.
Alternatives? Linux or Android would be ideal.
Anybody know why I, being a lowly member of mastodon.social, can follow @doctorow but not @pluralistic ?
Dear #lazymastodon:
Are accounts like this being run by bots:
https://mastodon.social/@maramgaza29
I have had several follow me. They don't actually send me a message or try to interact.
I'd love to support Palestinians in need. But it seems like accounts like this are being professionally managed, and misrepresenting what's going on. Once I recognize the deceit in their presentation, why would I trust them with my money?
@madpilot Not yet. :-)
Let's try...
Dear #lazyai, can you tell me why #AI isn't working for me?
No? Why? Because #lazyai isn't a thing. The whole reason #lazyweb and #lazymastodon works is because of people. (Actually, that's also the whole reason #AI works also, but that's another story.)
Do you remember #VOIP? Voice-over-IP? I used to do IPOV: I'd call up a dorky friend who I knew was sitting next to a real computer and ask them for whatever I wanted: Way better than any digital assistant!
I want to try this copilot thing in vscode.
But not #vscode. I use #codium instead.
I had it installed, but never got it working and now I try again and it's all borked.
I don't much like the current #AI bubble, but I have to keep up with my industry, especially in my advanced age (48). #ageism
The managers will promote the young college grads will over any old fart who is still shoeing their horses themselves.
What does this error mean?
Anyone on #lazyweb #lazymastodon?
Did anyone come across a "self-host your email" kind of guide?
I'm getting tired of proton mail's slowness, and... their politics, but moving to yet another commercial provider isn't something that I'm looking for anymore.
