I’ll wait and see if they can add some AI to it. But if they can, I’ll invest my entire life savings.

I see you subscribe to the Wolfwood school of pacifism: “I didn’t kill anyone!”

Yes. That’s what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.

My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.

But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.

Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

kindness seems pretty exclusive to white people.

I suppose big portions of history would nod quietly at this, if they could.

With maybe a clarifying note that the real goal was classism, and racism was just a convenient way to achieve more classism.

While you can setup a second profile to put the Google services into, I don’t recommend it.

The version of Google Services on GrapheneOS thinks it has root, but it does not.

So there’s no dramatic need to setup a second profile, unless you want it for other reasons.

I personally think the second profile feature is one of the things people think they want/need from GrapheneOS, but really are happier without.

(Sure it’s safer, but GrapheneOS is already so much better than other mobile OSes - and I hate to see someone quit GrapheneOS just because they didn’t like the optional profiles.)

An exception I have seen is for apps mandated for a job. I’m happy to bury that stuff deep.

That amused me, too.

I think it plays fine for the intended audience, though.

For the folks looking into Anubis, that line plays well - because hosting costs are driven up by the kinds of spam bot visits that Anubis slows down.

THANK YOU. I AM PLEASED TO JOIN THIS DISCUSSION AMONG FELLOW NON-ROBOTS.

" ((Candidate who Lost)) ((Previous Election Year))" bumper stickers after it has been a few years.

It feels needlessly divisive.

Although I saw a “Bob Dole '96” in the wild recently, and I kind of grudgingly admire that level of procrastination.

“We could be in serious legal trouble.”

“Don’t worry. My billions will protect me.”

Tbf, the tsp by default I believe throws your money in a G fund which is basically bonds iirc.

Most funds now default to a “target retirement date” type of fund that correctly offers stocks early and moves into bonds later.

please stop taking absolutely everything as a permanent debate.

But I think there’s a case to be made that everything is a permanent debate. Let me just paste a quick wall of text here on the topic…

Sorry. Just trying to make you laugh. I will see myself out.

I’m forced to assume that you are now surprisingly attractive, as well. That’s the way out goes with the person I never noticed in school.

Of course, part of it might be that my definition of attractive grew up to be a lot healthier than it was when I was a kid.

That’s exactly my experience, as well.

The PineTime is the best current option for a pebble enthusiast, since the Pebble.

But I still have to charge the PineTime every week or so, and that is with the screen off most of the time.

I miss the Pebble’s battery life.

Oh!

As they say, them who laugh lasts, probably needed a minute to think about it. Today, that was me.

I don’t see how even Amazon can try to kill the competition in a market that huge, regardless of price or convenience.

So I assume you wrote this after picking up groceries from your locally owned grocery store? Because you still have one - it didn’t collapse due to a Walmart coming to town?

Most of us have a solid example of what driving a grocery store out of business looks like, though.

“Not everyone in the union will celebrate this corporate partnership. Some members have legitimate concerns about tech giants shaping classroom priorities through financial relationships.”

When has a corporation and a Union ever not seen eye to eye?

(Please don’t answer. This is sarcasm. Otherwise RIP my inbox.)

I’m going to start talking in vague terms about my own designs for a “Corsi-Rosenthal Box” when I want to sound smart.

It’ll be great if anyone bothers to look it up.

Wow, I totally missed the part where Microsoft had a gun to your head.

Yes. Microsoft is good at hiding that part until it’s too late to do much about it.

There’s no industry pressure to be on Gamepass, yet.

Microsoft doesn’t willingly lose money on something unless they think they can make it into a market distorting rent extraction hellscape. something very profitable later.
