    OK I take most of these on the chin but I gotta push back on this one because NTs could use it too.

    Every picture in the database gets OCR + fuzzy-alt-text + facial-rec + geo-location + timestamp etc etc, all of which are indexed and searchable. Yet the entries themselves are effortless to produce once you’re in the habit.

    Those breadcrumbs ultimately augment your functional capacity for recall, and can help you turn an incredibly vague hint of a memory into… voila! …an actual snapshot of that thing from the past.

    So it’s not some kind of magpie hoarding behavior necessarily.

    It’s note-taking, receipt-keeping, evidence-gathering, and journaling that’s effortless and constantly useful.

    If I know the video, it is mildly disturbing mostly due to the sudden death. The stallion stiffens and collapses after the mare brains him and the person filming happened to capture a lot of detail of the dying CNS including the stallion’s face.

    Yeah many haven’t moved from R yet. And I get it. They have stuff to do IRL and the key benefit they receive contributing is exposure, so they’ll stick to publishing and maybe R and SO.

    We do have some well-informed posters but there appears to be an inverse relationship between expertise and posting frequency.

    Also, sorry this community is so shitty right now. Anyone can comment here and there’s no quality control, so unless your questions are sufficiently technical-sounding enough to scare away the morons, or you’re asking about specific Linux distro comparisons, you will not get any nuance here, and the high quality contributions will all be buried by these lead-brained conspiracy theorists and reactionary simpletons.

    The majority of “people” here quite obviously know nothing and yet are happy parroting armchair hearsay for back pats from their fellow inbred reactionaries.

    The legit comments mention specific customizations like

    • lulu
    • littlesnitch
    • lockdown mode
    • advanced data protection

    The rest are chuckle fucks.

    He wants to be more privacy conscious but he’s not crazy about it

    Then yeah, an older Mac would work just fine.





  • NTA… yet. But here’s my advice: learn to interpret others’ behavior charitably for their sake, the way you would prefer that they might for yours, and you will live a much happier life.

    For example, I assume everything you said is 100% fact. You said “this little family” just moved in, meaning in the middle of the school year. Have you considered they might be running out their old lease in a different school district; i.e., for the sake of a kid?

    This is just one of many equally reasonable explanations that I would entertain before giving myself over to intrusive thoughts of resentment over this perceived, potential injustice.

    Even if you can’t think of any reasonable explanation, or know for a fact that this is their actual plan, are you committed to diligently documenting the 183 days of absence needed to guarantee their comeuppance?

    Or is it enough to extrapolate that they don’t intend to fulfill their principal residence obligation by end of year to indulge in this righteous indignation?

    And finally, assuming these questions are easy and you’ve confidently sailed past each and every one of them, how do you imagine it will feel, in hindsight, having been the karmic force of justice in “this little family’s” life?

    Will you be happy that you were the reason they learned their lesson? After all, next time they will think twice before attempting to cheat the system. Surely that would be satisfying. What’s more, they will know it was one of their new neighbors who reported them, and they will remember that forever. It could even be you specifically they think of, if you wished. Would you though?

    If you mean grades, I’d encourage you to disentangle your own retrospective self-evaluation. The point is learning, which is ultimately a personal journey. Grades are just an institutional proxy for learning outcomes, and when some students can afford private tutors when others have to work third shift to remain enrolled, the currency isn’t fungible. That is, grades are buttons and bottle caps. Learning, curiosity, discovery, and knowledge, for its own sake, is the only true currency in education.

    Never let school get in the way of your education.

    Caveat: I’ve said this brashly to several deans, when it seemed appropriately inappropriate, and while a few are now good friends, the others acted troubled and now seem to avoid me. That is, YMMV. Some lifer academics may not understand when you disregard the only rubrics they know.
