I stopped reading after "subscription-based".

Did you know that nine women can deliver one baby in just one month?

They obviously look at child porn. If they had nothing to hide, they would volunteer!

I say it's time to investigate each politicians phones and computers and then install monitoring software.

For the children.

This seems counter to Concept 6 in the OP.

for residential internet, the globally routable prefix can change

Do you mean that ISPs don't regularly rotate your PD in practice? I'd actually prefer that they did to maintain a semblance of privacy.

An issue I had the last time I tried to set up IPv6 up was pihole didn't work as well as I would have preferred. I assumed I just didn't set up things correctly and it's looking like that is the case based on the OP.

It kept resolving ad domains with their IPv6 address.

I literally wrote like a week ago for a guide like this

This is awesome and answers so many questions. I kept trying to force IPv6 addresses to my machines and they kept not doing it! I also didn't know they would have multiple addresses.

It is when you go to a hipster food truck that charges $15 not including tip.

His wife forced him to install security cameras in every room of his apartment and banned him from going anywhere after work. She knew his schedule and expected him home immediately after work ended.

This is so toxic. Not saying cheaters get what they deserve but if you can't trust your husband, I think you have bigger problems than infidelity.

But this kind of thing is ripe for unintended consequences at best and flat out bad data at worst.

When I drive I put my phone in the center so I can see the map. If me and my passenger's phones are in the center, who is marked as driving when I get into an accident?

From there, why stop at one phone? Let's put several phones in the back seat, including mine. Hell, let's have a burner phone that I use only for driving that has a throw away account. Or let's go back to old fashioned maps and GPS devices while our phones are turned off. Meanwhile, at home, I've spun up a virtual device where it is very peacefully driving a route. Perfectly. Then I have another virtual device that is driving a different route on the other side of the world driving erratically.

These companies are forgetting that the data from phones are data from devices, not people. If you're going to spy on me, I'm going to make you fucking earn it.

Imo, there are too many good artists and not enough of a market.

The problem with the market is that they don't want to pay what artists want. For every one person who wants a bespoke painting is about 30 people who are okay with mediocre and probably couldn't tell the difference between someone who spent weeks versus a few hours on a painting.

I'm not saying artists don't deserve to get paid. There are just not enough people willing to pay what they want. Is AI stealing their jobs? Probably. But they weren't getting those jobs in the first place.

A few years ago, I was looking for an art student who would be willing to paint a very simple beach painting for me. Nothing fancy and really I probably could have done it on my own. There was an art school nearby and I went to a showcase and asked around. For an 8x10 canvas, it was going to be $1k minimum.

That's insane. I wasn't asking for detail. Just something with a sky, ocean, and sand. I found something similar to what I was looking for at a yard sale for $5.

I was willing to pay up to $300 with the possibility of doing more commissions down the road.

During the pandemic, I ended up taking some painting classes and learned to do the simple painting on my own for the price of a good bottle of wine.

On the one hand I completely understand and agree with businesses that do this. CC fees take a huge chunk out of your bottom line.

On the other hand, I'm less likely to go there a second time unless I really, really, really like your business.

For my barber, I will gladly pay in cash.

There's a convenience store that charged me the 3% at check out. I left everything on the counter and went the extra mile or so and went to a normal grocery store.
