Now that's some em-dash passion!
My point was less about em-dashes and more stopping to consider how the vatican's workflow and editorial process has changed in wake of AI, and what, if any, impact that could have on the outputs.
AI is a tool, I have no problems with others using it to assist with writing as long as the original intent/argument remains.
The em-dashes present within the writing made me pause and consider how much of this was written/exited by AI.
Quick browse through pre-AI works from John Paul II show em-dashes present.
It's all or nothing for Gemini Pro.
I can't set a voice reminder on my Pixel without giving full access to my Google workspace (which includes all emails) which is explicitly allowed to be trained on per the terms. There is no per app toggle.
Voice reminders were the only thing assistants did well for years.
We are going backwards.

My mom still has these. In gold. It has outlasted two boilers.
I struggle with the exact same issue in a pickup truck. I think people are driving around with their high beams on without knowing it.
When I learned how to drive, my mom showed me how the headlights turned on and off. If you didn’t turn them off, the car died.
The automation has made light management a very second thought.
My friend didn’t know what the blue high beam icon on the dash was. I blame the automatic light feature.
It can absolutely vary by department. However, the NYPD historically has set trends other departments follow.
From their Patrol Guide, below is what an officer is to do with video before their next tour of duty. My local department adopted this language almost verbatim.
These cameras are not upload and forget it. I'd encourage you to read on some of this as your comment "how would that even work" tells me your jaw is about to be on the floor when you read about the levels of red tape attached to these. To be clear, I'm pro camera and accept these costs of oversight. That doesn't mean the system cannot be improved.
Fun, but sarcastic idea: YouTube is filled with First Amendment Auditors. @AuditTheAudit has 818,495,408 views... let's let departments upload and have would be FA auditor viewers review, and if needed, tag videos for Internal Audit review. The People were going to give their time away anyhow, might as well save some fellow tax payers money... Wait, I take this back. I can see the officers now starting the body cam footage to talk about Better Help and Express VPN... never mind!
NYPD Patrol Guide 212-123: 16. Access the video management system on the Department Intranet or Department smartphone to classify videos based upon the nature of the event. a. Select one category for BWC video retention from the dropdown list in the following priority order: (1) Arrest, (2) Homicide, (3) Summons, (4) Investigative Encounter, and (5) Uncategorized. b. Document the nature of event from dropdown list (e.g., EDP, DV incident, home visit, etc.), (1) If the nature of the event cannot be selected from the dropdown list, enter a description of the event and include the associated ICAD number. c. If related to an arrest, enter the complete arrest number, beginning with the borough letter designation in the appropriate field, and/or d. If related to a Terry Stop/Level 3 Encounter not involving an arrest, enter the Stop Report number in the appropriate field. 17. Categorize all BWC videos by the end of next scheduled tour

When body cameras first rolled out, someone (an actual person) had to review the footage. Officers had to wait for that review to be completed before ending their shift. If I recall correctly, that wait was overtime at first and then policy was modified and it became unpaid time.
I hope that has changed.
I enabled this four months ago and I have had the same experience.
It’s not that I couldn’t retype the config file I accidentally wrote over while tinkering, but I like the safety that comes with Timeshift to try and fail a few times.
Hard lessons come hard. This softens those lessons a little while maintaining the learning.
Once generated, (I.e. a user pays for the audio to be generated) does it become available to the public? If so, very cool!

Heads up, going to your root domain leads to an error. That might have been intentional, but figured I’d share.
You boards are really cool.
I have been dreaming of site like this for planning tile layouts, so cool!
Small claims based customer service is the high water mark of enshitification.

I couldn’t get the container to run for the life of me.
Immich does this well enough for my needs! Really cool OSS project
This is correct. A friend of ours works at TSA. They saw a sealed envelope that looked like a large amount of cash. Questioned the passenger, he answered “well”, but wasn’t a security threat so they let him through and called the correct authority at his domestic destination.
Markets can only be efficient if knowledge of prices for competing goods and substitutes can be known. Drip pricing makes efficiency really, really hard.
That said, this is less about efficiency in my view and more about getting rid of the dirty little FU on the bill and allowing customers to avoid a surprise.
Restaurants are substitutes in calories sure, but menus, locations, decor, service will differ. I’m not sure I need efficiency in this space in that regard.
However, once at a restaurant, I would like to have a rough idea when I order whether I’m in my personal budget for that meal. From that perspective, this feels great.
If one doesn’t have to think about budget given financial prowess, this law matters little. If one does need to consider their budget but doesn’t, this law also matters little.
Have you found syncthing to cause any noticeable drain your battery? Also, does it handle merge conflicts well?
I’m with you on the API piece here.
Is the non-password protected end of the site really fair game for scraping? I’m sure the terms of service say not to, but are those enforceable?
Small claims court is the future of airline customer service.
My dad recently filed in small claims for lost luggage after the realization there was no phone number for a human to speak with as everything is “live” chat where each chat takes ten minutes for a response. The check came in the mail days after notification of filing.
Granted it was a budget airline, but it’s not that different from waiting on hold to get transferred.
TIL a space shuttle printer will fetch $8,659 at auction.

Press soon you will press 1 to speak to customer service.
I had fi for several years. IIRC it was billed as $.01 per megabyte. If I used 341MB, my bill was $3.41.
I think you would still pay for the full MB though.
Hmm - all they sent me was the following “we can do better” text:
“It's AT&T. We apologize for Thursday's outage, which may have impacted you. As a valued customer, your connection matters and we are committed to doing better.”
