In 23 I bought my 5 with 8GB for €93, just checked the receipt. I could buy one now for double that. Anyone remembers tech getting cheaper and faster over the years? Pepperidge farm remembers…

Yeah that’s true. But once metadata is cached, it takes like a minute to scan my entire library!

Couldn’t agree more! Although I always wish the barrier for entry to be lower for self-hosting.

I’ve been running Navidrome + Symfonium for over 3 years and it replaced Spotify. The only thing they have over my setup is a near infinite number of playlists. But I do everything myself now, I’ve reconnected with my music.

My main issue with Spotify was no lossless audio at the time, and many tracks weren’t on there, if they were they had a habit of disappearing. Now I can listen to any track, remix, bootleg, and even the 1700+ tracks my friend digitised from his vinyl collection until perpetuity.

Symfonium, btw, is truly the best music streaming app, the customizability is beyond anything I’ve seen

Back to the mines with you, you’re yearning

What are you even arguing, FSD is a programmed feature in their cars and according to the black box of the car it was turned on at the time of the accident. Period. Read the article.

What your* opinion on what actually constitutes full self driving is completely irrelevant here.

Oh then I misinterpreted this line to mean the opposite, my bad!

Not for long though I think, then it shuts off.

That’s your opinion, not a truth

I want to believe you, because that’s the sensible way of handling user input. But here’s a forbes article about another incident:

There are four ways to disengage FSD – pressing the accelerator is not one:

• Press the brake pedal.
• If equipped, move the gear stalk upward.
• If equipped, press the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
• Take over (grab and jerk) the steering wheel and steer manually.

I don’t think this is true, resources suggest you only override the speed of the FSD

? The article makes it clear the car was in FSD mode, but he passed out and was pressing the accelerator pedal

Following your upbringing is as reasonable as it gets. Going against what you believe isn’t just happening because you followed someone else’s reasoning, it’s something you navigate by yourself over a period of time.

Amen, I’m in the EU and only saw real statistics in college. Tbf propaganda in itself needs to be understood and thought better in general

I’ve been in that situation countless times, I can tell you people want to believe the scientific method works but there’s always a reason they don’t. Here’s a few reasons I’ve encountered:

• Eroding trust in institutions: they don’t trust the organisations or the people doing the studies. IMO news cycles play a big role in this; a study with a catchy result “A glass of wine a day is actually good for you” - by itself already a misrepresentation of the results - gets all the headlines. The countless of studies that prove no amount is good for you doesn’t get any.

• They believe science is a book of solid answers, while it’s merely a methodology to find better answers. People have a hard time accepting this.

• Post-information age: every bit of human knowledge at our fingertips is a true monkey’s paw. A real overload of information has people exhausted, they rather listen to someone like them than have big words thrown at them by scientists.

• Misrepresentation of data: I cannot stress enough how easy it is to misrepresent data. Without proper context any piece of data can be framed to fit a narrative. Studying statistics was so counter intuitive, you’ll never be able to convince people going on instinct.

Honing in on where people get stuck can help you get through to them. I know this will sound corny, but if you talk to people from person to person, not being judgemental, and really try to listen, there’s always room for change.

“You can’t reason a person out of a situation they didn’t use reason for to begin with” is a lesson everyone learns eventually…

and if you need more you’re probably using a dedicated mail client anyway

Are you sure you’re not using anything else google related that might clog it up? That’s what I’m getting at. Check google one for a breakdown.

5GB is plenty for emails, won’t be an issue for 99% of people.

THE problem with google’s storage is that they actively mislead consumers:

1. They bother customers during setup and after with: “Do you want to backup your device?” To which a considerable amount of people react to as “Yeah ofcourse I want that!”
2. Google does not show any indication where this backup goes or about the eventual payment so people just forget about it.
3. After some time their gmail and photos app will start to complain: “YOUR STORAGE IS FULL” - with constant notifications. And their Gmail stops working so they can’t receive emails anymore.
4. These regular people confuse ‘storage’ with internal storage so they start looking for ways to expand their internal storage, which obviously doesn’t do anything.
5. Eventually they give up and either pay google the ransom or make a new email.

This is the real dark pattern behind their “free cloud”
