I'd say it still is. I wouldn't even know how to begin if I were to write one.

This whole article is a single big "but what about X?" argument.
The main concern stays, even if it's just a tiny bit of your genome, even if web-fingerprinting is also bad, the sequenced genome data is enough to identify and relate you to others. (Didn't they catch a serial killer that way?)
Even without the whole bankruptcy spin, I haven't had my DNA sequenced out of privacy concerns, with being US(-jurisdiction)-based as a big factor against most of the big competitors.

I came across and am fond of "give a click". Came across it watching youtube tutorials, used along the lines of "to open the context menu, give a click on the menu item"

Has someone already animated Bad Apple on there?
Or played Doom, for that matter.

Things have moved on since then, as artificial intelligence has started being used in formalisation, [...]
With how AI works fundamentally, wouldn't you still need to verify the results generated by AI? Doesn't seem like an applicable field for it, at least in its current state.

Chess960/Freestyle Chess is where it's at for me. There, the game feels fresh, it's about creativity and clever positional play. Sometimes when playing classical, it feels like a contest of who can memorize better, without room for creativity or passion.
I'm not a particularly good classical player, but the mountain of grinding to get good just seems insurmountable to me.

Looks great! Useful for privacy but also to keep work and private life separated. Will be on the lookout for other OS versions!
Slightly related: I'm currently reading manga on a normal Android tablet using Mihon. I'd love to read on an eInk display, but I'd rather manage my library on device instead of having to use a pc and transferring chapters manually.
Does anyone have experience with Anrdoid capable eInk tablets? Are there any good, affordable ones?

> I wish there was an easy way for this - plug and play kinda
I can click a button in Lidarr to auth with Spotify and automatically search usenet for every album of every artist I follow on spotify, download them all, and make them available in Jellyfin. It'll even monitor the spotify account and import new additions. Getting the whole stack set up is pretty much the exact opposite of plug and play, but once you have it all installed it's amazing how much becomes smooth sailing. 2K songs is nothing for this kind of stack.
The one thing that bothers me about Lidarr is that it is album based, not song based. Before streaming services, I managed my local music library with albums as well, but my habits have changed. I basically only listen to my "Liked Songs" playlist on Spotify, and really only have a select few albums that I listen to on the whole.
I tried syncing Lidarr with my Spotify account, but 95% of the downloads then where songs that I didn't care for.
