(I'm generally not a fan of Cloudflare, because its man-in-the-middle position between users and services has grown to an unhealthy scale, making it ripe for dragnet surveillance and other abuses. But it would be even worse if it was actively helping these greedy, predatory corporations dodge the law.)

You cannot convince me that it's not literally a NSA front at this point.

Don’t assume even your own country is trustworthy in this.

My country is one of the world leaders in mass spying software development and even gave themselves the right to basically do deep packet inspections on everything going through it a long time ago, so...

Hi, I'm looking for a way to record voicemails that my recently deceased grandfather sent to my grandmother. Visual voicemail is setup but it does not show the messages, so I can't just save them by sharing them with my phone. Also her SIM is not "nano" format so I can't use it in my fairphone 4 to record it from there

If anyone can recommend a play store app that is not a privacy nightmare, or a way to install f droid on her phone, that would be lovely (even after enabling apks it couldn't open the f-droid apk, I assume because the API on her phone is too outdated)

Edit : nevermind, I remembered that her phone carrier has a web interface with the option to download the messages as a .mp3 file. Thanks to everyone for your replies, recording through jack was also a good idea but it completely went over my head after years of using a phone with no jack

I've never had to use it for important stuff tbh. But alongside a regex tester and a sample of the stuff I intend to use it on, I've had good results with an incremental approach where I tell the LLM what I want to change with the expression until I'm satisfied

All my homies hate regexs. That's actually the best use case I found for LLMs so far : I just tell it what I want it to match or not match, and it usually spits out a decent one

youtube was even worse, i had to go through 10 unrelated videos to find one slightly relevant one.

Last month I typed letter for letter the title of a video I saw on there in YouTube search and it tried so hard to push some other barely related videos, I couldn't believe it. I ended up typing the url manually like some internet cave man

Tell me about it, all the juniors were doing it at my old job, and I was usually the one tasked with fixing their shit. And since we basically didn't do any form of mentoring (including code reviews) it was such a pain in the ass to get them to change their ways

I think China is still one giant timezone, yes.

Edit: There's a relevant map men episode about that (and the islands thing) but I'm at work right now

I may be wrong here but I think that just like sky diving vs BASE jumping, you can actually just do it from a plane, which sounds like it would be a lot less dangerous

As far as I know, right now the main problem with flying cars is that they are nowhere near as idiot-proof as a normal car, and don't really solve any transportation problem since most countries' air regulations agencies would require them to exclusively take off and land in airports... Where you can usually find tons of planes that can go much further (and are much more cost effective, as you pointed out)
