I also ruined my pants when I accidentally caught myself on fire.

“That’s a boycott, not cancelling someone! It’s completely different!”

–Actual response I got to that question a few years ago.

Texan is right there in the title. Probably not a voter.

I have a few of these running HoloISO running around the house to stream graphic intense games from my main rig and to run smaller games locally. Runs fine with a 680m iGPU and I never have to leave the room I’m in (garage included) to play games if I want.

It cost more than a console, but far less than the 5 consoles I’d have to put out for that kind of convenience.

I thought you could hide those now.

I removed Gemini and installed assistant. That made it searchable in my app list. Then I just plopped the button on my home screen. When I short press the button it pops up something that asks me to try Gemini, but I just say whatever it is I want and it does it just like it used to in the search bar.

I would guess that most Americans have zero opinion on it at all. Money supports it.

You’re not wrong, and I know that I personally need to be more careful in making sure I’m calling out the hypocrisy of it. I’m going to make an effort to be explicit in what I’m calling out.

It’s hypocrisy shaming. These are the people trying to get porn banned.

The old assistant wasn’t bad, especially before they put lens in the search widget instead of being off in its own place where it belongs so that I can uninstall it.

I thought Gemini needed 6 more months of development to be ready for prime time. Apparently I wildly underestimated it. Simple tasks barely work and it offloads anything useful to the old assistant anyway.

I set up a separate assistant button because the assistant on the search bar, even without Gemini, only searches now. I use Firefox so I don’t need it for search. I use it to add things to my to do list and to set timers, the only two things voice assistants are good for in my life.

I don’t understand why they won’t just let me use technology the way I want to use it rather than trying to force me to use it their way. Well, I refuse to understand even though I kind of get it (if I used shit the way I wanted they’d never have the opportunity to show me an advertisement).

Edit: clarity

We may have been friends. I was that guy that did that thing that one time.

I’m not the one you asked, but I have a wild ass guess. It makes them feel important and/or powerful to have someone to look down on.

Same here, and for approximately the same reason (I left her because of the broken trust, she tried to get me back with a plan to fuck with me but I was already too fucked up over it).

It wasn’t my final relationship, but I’ll die alone and pretty happy. I have a couple of people that I actually trust and, same as you, a butt load of acquaintances that I enjoy being around. I generally use “friend” as shorthand for those people, but they’ll never really know me.

I’m very up front about relationships having a shelf life.

None of who appear to be theirs.

I left as ET2 and 90% of my time was at prototype in Ballston Spa as an instructor. I went on one short tour and we saw the Persian Gulf.

Y’all still got a gator that hangs out down there? Are the students still headed to that shitty dive bar that didn’t used to check IDs? I’m genuinely curious because I haven’t been there in over 20 years, but I heard the shitty dive actually checks IDs now.

Thing is, Lictman predicted 2000 correctly but couldn’t take into account supreme court fuckery. I’m less worried about winning than I am the fuckery.

It’s not an either/or. It’s Zionist Nazis or Zionist lite. Those are currently the two things that have a chance in the upcoming American election. Currently I’ll take slightly less Zionism and keep being involved in trying to get any democratic voting system that’s not FPTP so that we have more than two options.

Hell, isn’t that what Elon is proposing? I think it was him saying it should just be tech bros running shit unless I’ve got the wrong idiot tech bro.

We dry clean them. Otherwise they shrink.
