I don’t think a computer screen stimulates vision that much. I mean it’s only 2D, not 3D, a fairly limited range of brightness. It’s always at the same distance from your head so your eyes don’t even need to re-focus. It’s not even that big. I mean you can probably still see your desk with your peripheral vision, so it’s not even needed while looking at a screen… How would that train or improve something?

I’d do something like go outside and play paintball in the woods, if I wanted to use my peripheral vision.

That’s ambiguous. On a computer screen?

You can always ask the student body. If they’re doing a good job, they’re networked and know people and procedures. Sometimes the IT helpdesk people are knowledgeable and know who makes those kinds of decisions.

And I think server hosting and paying for that might work differently than in normal life. A university has quite some IT infrastructure. Maybe they have a free VPS to spare for things like that. Maybe it has to be super secure, intergrated into the single sign-on… It’s more a political decision. Could be anywhere from free, to you need to pay half a person’s salary to moderate and maintain the instance to their (high) standards.

Any good store that will sell me a super cheap and good set including inverter here in Germany? I mean they’re on Amazon for 250€, but maybe there is a better shop?

Yeah, your original post didn’t include your reasoning. I wasn’t sure if you were going for something like this or talking about the occasional Maps or GMail post, or just didn’t know who’s behind Android.

I think this isn’t a community like the political ones where you argue and get banned. I think you can talk openly here. Best, include some reasons why you think something, and I think people will understand. A lot of us are in the same boat.

These topics are closely related, as Android is a Google product. They develop Android. And they’re regularly leading the way with new developments. Good and bad. I think that’s why you see a mix of Android and Google news here.

Das gibts anscheinend jetzt in Großbritannien, eine KI Oma, die Spammer vollquatscht: https://lemmy.world/post/22107713

I believe they’re still messing with sliding sync and switching that over to a new version of the protocol. There are some open issues with Dendrite:

https://github.com/element-hq/dendrite/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sliding

https://github.com/element-hq/dendrite/issues/3236

You should add some info: Which server software do you use? What version number? And maybe how you installed this, Docker?

For example “Synapse v1.119.0” That’d be the most recent one.

~~If I’m not mistaken Synapse needs an additional proxy server for sliding sync? https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync/blob/main/docs/Landing.md ~~

17 is the correct age to try things and find your own place within the world. I’m glad young people have the ability to try things like this, or same sex relationships or whatever. I’d say it’s hard enough to express oneself and find out who you are.

I wonder if that’s still a thing, it’s been announced years ago. I don’t know anyone using the Google Assistant, and I removed that from my device. Have to ask some of my friends, or at the pizza place.

Nice. I think Daisy should also get a Youtube channel so we can listen to her, handling the telemarketers.

And I want that technology for my personal use as my own assistant/secretary.

I’ve had that discussion before, here on Lemmy. From my experience, like >90% of people will tell you not to do mail yourself. And there is a reason to it.

I mean don’t do it if you don’t know about DNS, all the added antispam like SPF, IP blocklists and how the big players handle that. And don’t make any configuration mistakes and become an open relay for spam. It’s certainly doable, though. (With the proper Linux admin skills.)

And I bet this process is going to add you to some list of people to keep an eye on.

Write down all your accounts and hope they’ll send you a warning in advance, once they decide to go out of business. Then you’re going to have to change all the accounts to a new email.

I’m pretty sure the big paid providers aren’t going to fail you withoit a warning. And gmail etc are too big to fail. That’s going to wreak havoc with a lot of other users… Though: If they decide to ban you or delete your account… You’re going to be in big trouble. That regularly happens to people.

Only alternative I can imagine is to run your own email service. If you own the domain and server, it’s your call. But you have to pay attention to maintain it and not get hacked etc. That would be another way to lose email accounts. (Running a mailserver is more complicated than hosting a website.)

The proper email programs have an option somewhere in the settings to either store a copy of the mailbox on the computer, or not do it. I’m pretty sure that’s in Thunderbird, Evolution, etc. I’m not sure about Outlook.

Yeah, and Microsoft has had some history with racist chatbots even before that.

Happens regularly. It’s generative AI and will mimick all kinds of stuff. Scifi tropes where the machines take over, Reddit posts of people telling each other to die… It’s all in there and business as usual. And seems the safeguards aren’t perfect, so we read this article every other month with a new person and a different chatbot.
