Verbosity control. I typically prefer verbose answers, but when I want a short response I can tack a "V=0" on to the front of my prompt.

  You'll adopt verbosity according to user settings:
  
  V=<level>
  
  Verbosity levels are 0-5, with 0 being least verbose and 5 being most verbose.
  
  If verbosity is omitted, make an assumption based on the prompt's subject matter and verbosity level.
  
  Unless Verbosity is set to 0, please display your settings like so: `(V=1)` as the first line of your response.

FWIW I just picked up FreeCAD a few weeks ago with zero prior CAD experience and I was able to create a few simple widgets for my 3d printer (a shower soap dish and a bottle for my daughter's toy doll) without too much fuss (took a few hours of learning and few hours of actual CAD work). I did have to ask a few questions on the FreeCAD forum (and got a bunch of friendly, helpful responses), but that's to be expected learning complex software like a CAD program.

In short, the latest version of FreeCAD (I'm using 0.21.x) is absolutely approachable for beginners and apparently works well for advanced users. I'm quite impressed with the project!

We need a P2P model hosting solution. Napster for ML models. Could just be a thin layer on top of bittorrent.

Magic mushrooms are another fantastic option if you're in a legal jurisdiction and medically able!

I just bought it on Steam under Linux and it won't install due to "unsupported platform", so I guess it's currently not working with Proton :(

EDIT: never mind! I forgot to check the "force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" in Settings -> Compatibility. With that checked (Proton 8.0.2) it installed and launched just fine (after launching the "repair easy anti-cheat" once)!

> I don’t want a VPN. I just want to pay for Firefox.

Just pay for Mozilla VPN. You don't have to use it.

According to my neighbor who is an ER doc, the spike protein stays in your system a lot longer than it does after natural infection. Unfortunately I can't find a reference for this claim, and the worst part is that I don't know if that's because my Google fu is lacking or if this information is being suppressed...

I didn't understand the author's point here... Do they think Qualcomm couldn't make these hardware changes as well? Of course they can, though they may not have considered it until now.

A bunch of people are making this point, and it implies that Facebook is highly reliable as an identity verification authority. I’m not saying it’s wrong, it’s interesting whether it’s right or wrong.

That said, my personal experience with Facebook has been the same. It’s trivial to spot bot/spam accounts, and I typically end up with a high degree of confidence that the identity is real.

Some kind of RPG where you're a primitive human (70,000 years ago or something).

> Also, personally, after 6 months of iOS I am itching to get back to Android. Why? The notification system SUCKS on iOS compared to Android. It’s impossible to move files between apps. Hard to get any work done on it. Beautiful hardware though!

I felt this so hard! Switched to iOS a few months ago after 14 years of Android (OG G1 user) due to privacy concerns and the lack of a small phone on Android.

iOS applications are almost universally better than their Android counterparts, but when it comes to the OS itself Android is light years ahead of iOS in terms of usability, convenience, and features. The iOS keyboard is such a steaming pile of bull dung compared to Android, and then there's call screening, notification actions, copy history, inter-application shareability, webview->browser state sharing, etc...

> how come she isn't taught not to watch shorts?

It's really not that simple, kids are not computers. The age old parental meme of repeating yourself 1000 times before your kids "gets" it is accurate.
