man i hate food delivery apps. theyre shitty to their employees and shitty to businesses; they just feel like a leech on society
Reminds me of Arthur C Clarke's The Light of Other Days. There's a technology in the book that allows anyone to see anything, anywhere, which eliminates all privacy. Society collectively adjusts, e.g. people masturbate on park benches because who gives a shit, people can tune in to watch me shower anyway.
Although not to the same extreme, I wonder if this could similarly desensitize people: even if it's fake, if you can effectively see anyone naked... what does that do to our collective beliefs and feelings about nakedness?
That's a pretty good pace actually, considering you're listening to an audiobook!
I've been on a nostalgia trip reading the Legend of Drizzt series. I'd normally go for fantasy that's darker or verges more on weird fiction, but I read the Drizzt books as a kid and Baldur's Gate 3 made me want to read them again.
About to finish book 10, I've enjoyed a good amount of them but I am starting to see how Drizzt's plot armor gets old after a while, haha
ooo I'm planning to start that soon. How long has it taken you to get to book 6?
Ah must've skimmed over that part, my bad. The home automation part jumped out to me
I've recently been looking into ESP32 programming - they're microcontrollers with onboard Bluetooth and WiFi, that are smaller yet more powerful than Arduinos. Randomnerdtutorials gets recommended a lot elsewhere; I believe I saw one tutorial for running a web server on an ESP32.
If you need a full OS and/or more resources, I'm not sure raspberry pi can be beaten (at least, that's how the market was years ago when I was looking)
I think I prefer the town that elected a dog for mayor
I heard these were good for NMZ, so I was like alright I'll have the dwarf guy make a bunch. The animation took forever each time and was such a pain, and it was only in NMZ that I finally realized you can't actually consume them.
