I'm curious what those three things are b/c I am probably just being a Luddite

Not a best reason, but the reason is often because, in the enterprise, marketing hired dozens of people between 2018 and 2023 from the same handful of Drupal consultancies.

The video that purports to depict how this device would be used is not an advertisement as much as a warning of how mad things can get. Any curiosity I had about this product has been eradicated from my mind.

I’m genuinely curious how you use image models for this type of design. I need a way for my wife and I to visualize a remodel project and don’t know where to start or which tools are best for the job.

I basically don’t care and until recently I had no reason to. My house has no AC and I heat with wood.

But now I need a way to monitor the status of a system I’m using to prevent a water line from freezing, and suddenly all this home automation stuff seems very useful.

The algorithm giveth, and the algorithm keepeth away.

Before I clicked that link I had never heard of Breaking Points, a political series with over 2MM subscribers. I'm a YT premium subscriber and watch a ton of political stuff, much of it damn similar to what that channel produces.

I found out the expensive way this year that you cannot even give someone a TicketMaster ticket. A ticket is app-based, and bound to your TicketMaster account and the only conceivable way to share it would be to give someone else your account credentials, which is stymied by the app's SMS based 2FA.

I will never give that company another dime, I don't care if John Lennon is reanimated and launches a comedy tour.

My experience as well. GLP-1 removed the spark that alcohol has always given off when it hit my bloodstream. As a lifelong over-drinker, it was incredible to have a few sips of a martini and basically think 'meh, whatever'.

Parent of an elementary school child in a rural area. People host holiday and birthday parties, but nobody in our extended circle hosts dinner parties. FFS who has time with two working parents and kids who are involved in a lot of activities? Weekdays we barely squeeze in a meal, and weekends are booked.

My parents hosted many dinner and hors d’oeuvre parties, because my mother didn't work outside the home and was available to shoulder all that organization and work.

We all have favorites, but that's not the point WZ was making.

The whole USP for emdash is sandboxed plugins. Sandboxed plugins only work in Cloudflare.

First of all, the average parent is definitely doing some volunteering, at least in the US. From rec sports to scouts to church stuff to local committees, it's very rare for someone to be totally checked-out on all those counts.

And as a bit of anectata: I play two sports and my child plays multiple. Every single one of those groups or teams relies on email, even when other modes of communication are layered on.

A CMS that can only run on one hosting provider?

I can only imagine you have no kids, serve on no boards, do not volunteer, and play no sports.

2003 was my high-water mark.
