Please use an LLM and prove it yourself. Then use an LLM and prove the opposite. That's how much weight your "proofs" have.
In fact, buy a premium subscription to all the LLMs out there (yes, even LLAMA) and have them write the proof using the scientific method, and submit the papers to me via a carrier pigeon.
>Now, in Portugal, we're starting to see cases of "here's the price with a 3€ tip (for example), if you want to pay that", and you awkwardly get to say "no thanks I want to pay the actual price", which I find very unpleasant.
I've lived in Portugal for 30 years and I never had that happen to me. Where are you seeing this? I could only imagine it in a place that only serves tourists and foreigners.

Maybe not "only", but yes, they're typically Americanized brunch places, or other "trendy" places. And some of those places have good food worth eating.
It's still a pretty rare thing, fortunately. Something less offensive that I'm running into more often is to be asked if we want to leave a tip. And more common still are PoS systems that give you the option on checkout.
Probably not the thread to digress into what's happening to dining in Lisbon (eg the rameniffication of everything) but it's definitely bringing in a more tip-forward mindset.
Last time we had a reasonably powerful one in Portugal, I grabbed my phone the house was still shaking and it already had the Android warning!
I was surprised as I didn't even know it was a thing.
I was also a bit spooked as it was in the ocean, near the coast, and when I turned on my FM radio as we were always taught in school, all I heard were pre-recorded music programs.
Turns out it didn't meet the threshold for a warning so the authorities didn't issue any message about tsunami danger. I think they should've anyway, as I wasn't the only one that had that thought.
yeah I've ran into bunch of people who were scared for real and drove up to higher elevation in the middle of the night.
If you'd search online you could have known quickly there was a negative Tsunami notice, but I get that this is just not feasible for everyone (or everytime).
Feel like the severe weather SMS etc are working quite decent, I wish they'd expand that for those sort of things as well (like there was an earthquake, this is what you should do next).
The Android notification was a bit odd, because it's not trivial to get back to that notification if you've just skipped/acknowledged it.
I took a look at the linked block list[0]. There's a lot of junk in it, but I'm also seeing a lot of sites that have, in my opinion, pretty decent content.
My approach with Kagi is just to block SEO spam when it shows up in my results, but I don't think good SEO means it's a bad site with no useful results.
Yo, I'll spend a bit of time splitting the lists up.
Obviously, there are a number of websites in there outside the 16 Companies from the linked article in my post, and the Kagi top blocked domains that I've added myself as I scroll through search results.
I understand that my taste may not be for everybody so will make it clearer in the post and give a bit more options.
Indeed, I despise SEO spammy sites and block them aggressively in Kagi, but I see many sites on there that do have good content, often paired with good SEO and lots of ads. I have blocked sites that have good content due to invasive ads before so I'm not one to cast stones, but I wouldn't blindly use this list as you're likely going to be cutting out some potentially good sources.
I've set up voip instances, and not liked it, but would be willing to do it again for my kid. I'd not be willing to set them up (and be tech support!) for all of his friends' families. That's the value proposition here, for me.
We've got a group of parents around us who'd likewise like to delay their kids' smartphone access for as long as possible - but if a smartphone (or even a dumbphone with no meaningful parental controls) is the only way for kiddo to make calls, then I know some of them will defect. Selling them all on this kit (or something like it) would keep the agreement intact for a while longer.
Several comments in this thread give "Dropbox is just rsync" vibes. I'm curious how many of the commenters suggesting to DIY understand that having small children means essentially no free time to hack on something like that.
And it's mostly tech workers here. I would say most parents are not technically inclined. It would take the average Joe god knows how many hours to set something like this up. Even for a techie, and even if you value your time at only $10/h it would be worth it even if it took only a weekend of hacking something together, and you get something that was built specifically to your use-case.
It really isn't. I got my login for dropbox, installed it on some machines, and it was just click upload or download from there. Crwating and using folders was much like on my desktop.
For rsync, a person would have to study it to learn it. They might want to look for potential gotchas in how they configure it, too. The experts at Dropbox already did all that for us, though.
