BoydStephenSmithJr, to random I currently have subscriptions for both #Nebula and #Dropout and I gotta say the UX is much worse from Dropout.
Mostly, it's just that Dropout videos are routinely stuttering and buffering. But, they also don't remember the videos I've watched correctly and don't support the playback speed I normally use.
The organization is also rather confusing for me in Dropout, with links to series with 0 seasons and seasons with 0 videos and some videos being listed as part of multiple series.
Advice?

drq, The guy you replied to is also right.
Thing is, GenAI is just a method. It's a technique. It's a brush. It's way more accessible and forgiving than brushes of old (which I try as I might, fail to see as a bad thing in the grand scheme of things), but still - a brush is only as good as a person holding it. If you don't have a creative side, if you are not an artist, you will suck, and your art will be hollow, AI or not.

assembly, Looking at the pics available it looks pretty cool. I would definitely take a look at it to go electric but my current wrangler is going to be hard to give up.
helenslunch, Nah it was peak technology. We got things like fuel injection and ABS. There were standard radios. Components were simple, easy to diagnose, and inexpensive.

Opt out, not in. Likely because they company is run by sociopaths.
You might want to shut this off in your profile. If you know anyone who works in management at DoorDash, consider tossing them into your nearest black hole. #privacy

Geojoek, to random Weird question: Is it a bad idea to buy a radio like the DX10 from a ham-I-don't-know at a ham fest or on QRZ / eBay? Or just buy new?
ai6yr, @Geojoek Every HF radio I own (except one) has been USED. I am a fan of used, because I fix things. I used to sell a lot more on Ebay (of stuff I repaired), but then ran into a scammer (purchased/complained to eBay/did not return hardware/ran off with the money AND the hardware). eBay is pro-buyer even if they're scamming you. That said, I have no problem buying used at a ham fest at all... easy enough to tell what's going on with a radio. eBay tends to be okay but at the highest price (too expensive), and QRZ has scammers for sure... gotta watch out on there. There are a few hams who have had their callsigns stolen and the scammers use them on QRZ to offer up too-goo-to-be-true deals.

DrALJONES, to Palestine Report
'A Palestinian American nurse..has been fired after calling Israel’s war on Gaza a “genocide”.'
Hesen Jabr had said Palestinian mothers are experiencing unimaginable loss “during the current genocide in Gaza”.
She was fired when she reported for her next work shift & told she had “‘put others at risk’, ‘ruined the ceremony’ & ‘offended people’”.

Blinxeto, Oh no, not “offended people”. Imagine that, getting their feelings hoit as children are getting bombed to pieces.
The horror, the horror. I mean, how do you mend a hoit feeling, and offended peeple?

KydiaMusic, @RickiTarr @peterainbow @billyjoebowers
That’s awesome!
I made a lot of new online friends at the start, but everyone kind of dropped off once the world opened back up and everyone pretended life was back to normal. No one wanted to meet online anymore. The Zoom fatigue was real.
I’m glad I eventually found the Fediverse, at least. 🥰
RickiTarr, @KydiaMusic @peterainbow @billyjoebowers Yeah not much of a Zoomer myself, but yes, Fedi has been great for finding cool people!
