He decided that it was unethical to have an AI/LLM impersonate a real person, but set up the "wizard" as an AI assistant for his fake crypto site helpline.

Unix or dos format?

Anyway, you probably need to put a backslash before it to indicate line continuation.

But wouldn't it be better to use something more traditional, such as ?

Can "y'all" be singular, since there is "all y'all" for plural?

Well, I hope this thread has also put you off being a pedestrian.

Part of the problem is that if you get a green light, so can go ahead or turn right, the road to your right has a "walk" sign on at the same time. So pedestrians can start crossing. In the UK a walk-sign equivalent means that "the traffic has stopped so that you can cross".

True. But I'd sum it up as "A roundabout is a group of T-junctions. A 4-way stop is a nightmarish hellscape that relies on people paying attention and being reasonable." A 4-way stop near a school at drop-off time is basically Mad Max. Kids crossing at each corner holding up the vehicle that should be next, people splitting into two lanes so that they can turn right out-of-turn, buses obscuring the view, people who decided that "surely it's my turn now"...

I noticed! That's why my reply became a semi-crazed random stream of consciousness.

On the reality show The Amazing Race, it's never the rock climbing or skiing or skydiving that holds back the teams. It's driving the manual rental car from the airport.

I drive manual in the UK but have never tried a left-hand-drive manual car, I'd probably keep hitting the door with my left hand.

Only part of it.

There was a successful ad campaign based on how many people in the UK find it repulsive.

You can buy marmite in many stores in my area (LA).

Customs maybe be unhappy at bringing in food.

Best phone sync (lemmy.world)

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to try sticking with syncthing and try the fork of the UI and see if that keeps everything working.

I want to sync files between my linux PC and Android phones (mostly for Obsidian notes).

Can anyone recommend a good real-time sync?

I've been trying syncthing, but despite turning off battery optimization for the app, it rarely sees the phone as connected. I don't want to have to remember to check syncthing every time I edit a note.

I use resilio for syncing between PCs but it looks like it has a high battery usage on the phone, as if it is frequently polling for changes.

I use FolderSync for occasional scheduled syncs (e.g. updating my MP3s from the server to my phone), but a scheduled sync either is frequent enough to affect battery or it risks sync conflicts.

Cloud services such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive don't show up as big battery drains, so I assume that they use change notifications from the OS instead.

Are there any real-time 2-way sync apps for phone that don't have big battery drain and are not for cloud providers?

 

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?
