Lol you confidently incorrect dumbass. Gravity is the problem of modern physics and you think you can boil it down to a simple force of attraction?
There are theories that it’s an illusion and theories that it’s caused by time itself. But you’ve gone and proved my point by basically saying, “SEE, APPLE FALL DOWN”
Oof calm down man. Breathe. Also, your gravity analogy works against you.
In the gravity analogy, someone would be claiming they understand 100% of what makes up gravity, “it’s the curvature of space time. That’s it. Job done. Go home quantum theorists”
If electrical signals are all that is required to give rise to consciousness, then a computer would be conscious. But since it’s obviously not, there’s a big gap there. One that is so far inexplicable. And yet you’re drawing conclusions about it.
Shouting about it doesn’t do anything.
So do electrical impulses always give rise to consciousness? Is my computer self aware?
Please explain how electrical impulses can give rise to a sense of self. The actual experience of consciousness rather than brains simply being organic computers.
Put another way, is my computer conscious? Why is it not, but I am?
I did the same thing and have the same attitude. I still watch what few Netflix shows are any good. They just aren’t getting any of my money any more 🙂
I think it’s more common for people to rotate which service they’re subscribed to each month.
But piracy is still increasing in popularity.
It can be as simple as running a VPN on your computer, and downloading torrents through a torrent app on the same computer. Then you can just watch the videos you download however you like.
If you want a Netflix-like interface for what you’ve downloaded, run Plex or Jellyfin and point them to your downloads. Get the plex or jellyfin app on your tv, tablet, phone, etc as well. The app will see plex running on your computer and you’re good to go.
You can keep getting more advanced depending on what you want. For example you can use apps like Sonarr and Radarr to automatically send movies and shows to your download app as they come out. You can also use things like Bazarr to automatically get subtitles. Tdarr to encode what you download if you want to do something like make sure everything works on your tv and a specific streaming stick (eg: roku).
And on and on.
I use all of that, and have it set up through docker on a server which has access to a giant NAS for storing the files.
My favourite one I’ve done so far: I put a motion sensor near where my cat goes every morning when she wants to look outside. This then opens the blinds enough for her to see.
This works better than a simple timer because the blinds are loud enough to wake us up sometimes and she doesn’t want to necessarily look outside every day.
Eh, humans are hardwired to acquire stuff. This will never catch on. It’d be cool if it did. But it won’t.
I think animals should have more rights already. It’d be nice if they could talk or something to help people realize they’re actually living things worthy of empathy.
But to your point, cats and dogs are already among the better-treated animals in large parts of the world.
Compared to animals who get farmed (especially factory farmed), or get the death sentence label of a pest or invasive species.
We have our place on the planet purely by right of conquest.
It’s fundamentally immoral what we do to animals but people just ignore it, accept it as a necessary evil, or somehow block the empathy from their brain applying to animals.
Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.
Most languages only take a few minutes to do a “hello world” app.
When you announce you’re comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you’re used to working on.
So a junior dev could very well feel they’ve learned something like react after two days of cramming.
Desktop OS on a tablet is fine and even preferred depending on what you want it for.
I have a surface and don’t mind using full windows that way.
Or trying to drive to the shop instead of getting a tow.

Convert all the empty offices to apartments. Solves housing supply problems, makes a lot of dense units instead of sprawl, puts them right next to any of the offices that have reopened, and would make the owners of the office buildings happy so they’d hopefully get out of the way of WFH (if they’re doing any lobbying or propaganda or whatnot).
I know it’s too expensive to be worth it, but it’s a perfect thing for governments to give grants for since it has so many benefits.
It’s happening a bit in Canada.
Projects are undervway in Calgary and Halifax; others are being planned or debated in Toronto, London, Ont., and Yellowknife.

But then when you do see the nutrition label, it ends up acting as an ad that it’s a healthier drink.
Plain sparkling water. It’s already my favourite one. I drink it by the pallet.
For people who value reading: if they have no books on their shelves. They might be avid readers of ebooks, or just use the library.
But this should clear itself up with a rather simple discussion started by mentioning a book you read recently.
