Thank you for the wise words, you convinced me to ditch my free Linux installation in favor of a paid Windows license. Does anyone know a good paid alternative to the spyware VLC?

You should start working as an AI agent, you show promise.

That’s the reason I don’t bulk upload books to my Kindle. Because I know I’ll be spending way too much time thinking about what to read next. Instead I only acquire books when I’m done reading one or close to it. And I only get more than one when they’re in a series.

They do need to look good on the Instagram reels that you make, where you publish every second of your utterly unremarkable infant’s life to random strangers on the internet in the hopes that your account grows large enough to make ad money.

The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It’s not your job to enforce traffic rules.

I didn’t believe opinions could be wrong until I saw this

Pro tip: you can probably uninstall Gemini via ADB. Android won’t let you uninstall it using your phone’s UI, but since it’s just another package you can probably use the old ADB tricks to wipe it from your phone. Use your favorite search engine to figure out how, it’s not exactly a secret.

These are the tampons they stick into female bulls.

Nvidia drivers at least do something that are fairly complex and heavy, and they’re necessary. Whereas this thing is just some comically overdeveloped and extremely annoying piece of bloatware from Logitech to remap a bunch of buttons.

In 2023, the on-time arrival percentage of ICE trains was 60something%. That’s not exactly a number that screams reliability. I don’t remember the exact number DB had to pay out for delay compensations that year but it was an embarrassing sum. Just today 2 separate people in my group chat were saying unsavory things about DB’s mother because of 30+ minute delays on two separate ICE trains.

German trains being on time is a myth.

It is and it isn’t. Again, the whole thing is super vague. Machine vision or pattern seeking algorithms do not try to imitate any human behavior, but they fall under AI.

Let me put it this way: Things that try to imitate human behavior or intelligence are AI, but not all AI is about trying to imitate human behavior or intelligence.

LLMs are one of the approximately one metric crap ton of different technologies that fall under the rather broad umbrella of the field of study that is called AI. The definition for what is and isn’t AI can be pretty vague, but I would argue that LLMs are definitely AI because they exist with the express purpose of imitating human behavior.

I have a nothing phone. The glyphs were a neat gimmick the first few weeks I had the thing, but now I only use them as a softer flashlight. They just don’t really add much value to the thing.

Still like the thing very much though, overall.

Or they do switch but for like 1 day and then go back to messaging you on WhatsApp. I tried switching to signal at least a couple times, even convinced a couple groups to move, but not a single chat lasted more than a couple weeks. Eventually they all went back to WhatsApp. Every single one. It’s extremely difficult to get people to care.

I once saw a girl very abruptly stop walking on a rather busy street, throw herself down on a nearby bench in a hurry, take out her stuff from her tote bag and just start knitting with an oddly peaceful expression on her face as if nothing happened. I was left wondering what the fuck I just witnessed. Happened in the span of like 4 seconds.

Yes she was barefoot.

It was a fine game that was tanked by the massive inconsistency of its quality as you progressed. The game starts out absolutely fantastic, but the quality takes a very sharp and sudden fall after a few hours, and then it just sorta ends not long after. It was a very weird experience. Definitely felt like something went very wrong during development and they had to make big changes.

I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.

I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.

I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

I feed people’s pets without asking.

I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.

There is a trick to bypassing the Israeli defenses. Just make sure what you’re doing will be giving the unhinged leader of the genocidal regime a casus belli to launch a war of conquest that they can sell as a defensive war, and suddenly you’ll find you can do anything.

Just pull the plug at that point.

But it’s an Apple keyboard.
