I've tried to keep on top of not allowing ai to crawl through my personal data on various services. Google going through my emails is like going through my physical letters, it's extremely intrusive.

It's getting tiresome. I think next year I'll have a go at self hosting my emails. Email is one of the big things I have kept online and the same as everything is linked to it. It's like your digital address.

Most users are just quietly accepting the significant loss of privacy, especially nowadays as a lot of our lives are online. I don't believe there will be any pushback from users, governments need to step in but they are seemingly unwilling to.

Bluey. It's a really positive modern show , so not really from my childhood but it beats everything else from my childhood.

I too am interested in an automated system taking data from things like smart rings/watches, ideally with home assistant integration. Do you mean like basic note taking? something like Joplin could be used for that. I use it extensively. It has a to do checkbox function, which you could use as a reminder, though it doesn't pop up. You'd have to look at it. I think for reminders etc. you'd perhaps be looking at calendar software, perhaps next cloud, which also includes notes.

Thanks. Yeah, I don't want to shout at her really, it isn't something I do. I have tried to talk about the moral aspects and how it makes others feel sad already. You're recommending more of the same, I was worried about limited effectiveness. She certainly didn't feel sorry when she apologised to the shopkeeper, but she was incredibly embarrassed and shy about it, to the point I'm surprised she did so! I've also tried the story thing and so has another trusted adult. Another poster mentioned removing vegetables as something she likes, this could be a direct consequence. As you say, I don't want it to be about 'not getting caught '

That's a good idea. I think I'll arrange a meeting with the teacher. Thanks

Me. But not just me. When my children grow older, they too will now have a Linux OS on their computers not Microsoft. Microsoft has lost more than just me!

Haha. Linux has had no effect on my height. So far....

I've recently switched my music over to jellyfin, using various tools to get music from my Spotify playlists and curating them with beets. More recently than that, Immich went stable so I've got it running now in tandem with photoprism. I'd probably switch all the way from photoprism if Immich could read duplicates from the external library when uploaded by a user from an Android & if you could have some sort of android retention policy, like if a photo is older than 6 months and it exists on the server it can be deleted from the android.

I self hosted it within a docker container on Open media vault. So it is possible to host it on an nas (if you can use docker). My ebook flow works a similar way to op's. Though I have to be on my home WiFi to download books using the kobo. Or connecting to a router with a Vpn to my server.

It would be a community support police officer, in the UK. It wouldn't be a criminal record sort of thing nor even saying my daughter is stealing or anything serious. Basically a discussion of what can happen if someone steals. Just an idea. They have regular community events which we would attend and I'd ask ' what happens if '... My wife is a psychologist, so we have that part covered. Thanks for your response.

There are multiple Scottish accents. You'd have to pick which one! Perhaps the most widely recognised would be Glaswegian.

Never heard of this before, I may give it a go! Thanks for sharing.

Is there a plugin to stream games from the server ? Instead of the client doing the emulation.

Thanks. Do you happen to remember what were the books called? Maybe more moralistic TV is called for! I'd certainly enjoy a rewatch of star trek ha

Do you have a source for these two? I'm not saying you're wrong - I would like to share the stories! I agree that US big tech companies cannot be trusted.

I did ask her that actually (how would she feel), but it certainly wasn't the focus it was more how would that other person feel. I'll explore the 'i wonder' too, not just for this. Thanks.

Yeah, have a look in decathlon. They have waterproof shoes which look like trainers. I've got myself some, I can go through puddles with them and stay dry.

Using Linux mint instead of Microsoft. The windows 11 update fiasco made that easy.

Also: Google photos> photoprism and immich

I'd like to host my own email at some point too and move away from Gmail . or at least have a offline copy of my emails combined with an online EU service.

They didn't actually throw the manifesto away and they're not doing too badly against it: https://fullfact.org/government-tracker/

Thanks, I'll take a look

I'll be getting this as soon as it has speech journals with transcripts! Looks amazing.
