Pushed to prod

Tacos

Interesting. Can you give an example?

I'll rephrase.

My first thought was a survival scenario.

Your first thought was selfish evil.

Why was that, I wondered?

My point is that your world view was to interpret it as a negative first. Not a comical musing. Angsty.

Never mind; username explains.

I was first imagining being in the same era and happening upon one as one would a deer in the words.

You first imagined cruelty and elitism. Why it's that?

People think motivation comes before action, but it is actually the reverse. You have to decide (not be motivated) to act, and the motivation will follow.

You just never use a desktop profile. You have an account on mobile, and every time you go desktop you sign in with the app and qr code so you're always using the same db on each machine.

My desktop app has zero profiles and no db; I only sign in with my mobile.

Actually, you can scan a qr code and use on both

I, too, find striking the balance between staying informed and protecting myself from negativity to be daunting, disheartening, and frequently unrealistic.

What helped me was my coincidental transition to services that have little or no "algorithmic" influence, such as switching to Lemmy/Mastodon. It requires me to be more intentional with my willing exposure to content, at the cost of being less convenient to find new content.

Like, I don't get as many new songs in my playlists since I jumped out of Spotify. It means I need to get creative in order to try new artists, but I'm not hitting the skip button as much, either.

Disclaimer: I don't have a suggestion for you. Just a thought experiment.

I rate a product/service against a bunch of things, like privacy, ease of use, utility, necessity, etc., and come to an important radio.

I have a similar scenario (very young spectrum child), so I tried this.

It's gonna be hard to geo track anything without sharing the data unless you can launch your own satellites.

The trigger scenarios (natural disasters, kidnappers, or just general/accidental negligence/happenstance) really feel like fringe cases. While the utility of the tracking in these scenarios would be extremely high, the likelihood of their necessity is incredibly low. Especially given that the caretakers have already been extended enough trust to leave such a precious asset in their unmonitored care, so it may stand to reason that they can be entrusted to react and take care correctly in these cases.

I think the cost to benefit radio is a little off. I totally see the value, I just wonder if it isn't too much effort/expense.

I suppose we've reached a "agree to disagree and don't talk about it as a result" status, which I'm willing to accept, sorta choosing which hill I wanna die on, ya know?

It's just that I wish there was more support, whereas I feel instead that there's ridicule or disrespect because her standpoint comes across more as "I'm right and you are wrong so I think less of you for it."

But, focusing on the privacy topic rather than relationship advice, I really just wish there were a way for me to present her with a case that allowed her to validate my arguments and respect them, even if she doesn't agree. I think that's just asking too much because there isn't a single justification I've ever put forth with which she could understand my opinion.

No privacy supporting suggestion works with her because she simply doesn't value it. I guess I could be projecting expectations, but I think I'm valid in wanting my views respected, even if they aren't conceded.
