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.

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.

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.

Thanks, I’ll take a look

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

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 ’

Thanks for your insight. I’ve not thought of removing vegetables, she does eat them no problem & enjoys them. My real worry is that if the behaviour continues into later life, then the consequences are much more severe.

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

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.

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!

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.

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 upvoted. But, I’d never describe myself like that. I’m old enough to be wise about some things and a huge dumbass about others. And mature enough to know the difference.

You’ll want to check out “Dungeons”. I recently played Dungeons 3 and it is basically an improved dungeon keeper except you can go into the overworld too.

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.
