TragicNotCute

I like to joke that the world actually did end in 2012 and now we’re in a weird purgatory type thing.

I’ve definitely dreamed or seated on project ideas off and on for years. I also like to think about pared down versions that might serve as a proof of concept that would be easier to execute. Sometimes I actually even build a thing.

I’m really sick of how pervasive it is everywhere now. You can’t sell a product or provide a service nowadays without advertising some AI aspect. I wish that would go away.

I actually pay for a chatGPT premium account because personally I find a lot of value in it. I use it to help with writing, picture analyzing (what species of … is this), and a lot more. I just wish I could decide when I want AI involved and when I don’t.

Gotta cough to get off 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t know how it works under the hood, but from a user perspective it behaves like it’s in BFU. Biometrics disabled, phone code required.

Long press of power and volume up for a few seconds puts you into BFU.

Three exclamation marks let you know how serious they are.

In case you’re serious: it’s not a can. It’s a glossy menu attached to a curved menu board. Pretty common inside American fast food places. Helps readability from other angles maybe? I dunno.

Unmatched pleasure in your T zone (the area of the keyboard with the letter T)

I use the Orion browser with uBlock Origin installed and get 0 ads on YouTube.

I’ve noticed in non American countries like Australia, you don’t pet the cat, you pat the cat. Hardly ever how it’s phrased in America though.

Not the topic at hand but,

it seems Americans hate the idea of installing any third-party messaging apps

For me, I can talk to literally everyone I want to via the stock messaging app (iMessage in this case). I get no value from installing a second messaging app for a specific human or two.

Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.

Having a single community that spans across instances is the big thing holding back more people from using Lemmy. You love topic X? Well which of the 5 communities dedicated to it do you wanna join? Just a confusing and suboptimal experience.

Even funnier to give someone a Windows 98 version and watch the brain hurt a bit.

Like I get it, it’s scary and I don’t want them to have my data, but my picture is being taken ALL the time basically everywhere I go. Is putting my foot down for this specific type really making a difference?

I’m gonna fall through the ceiling :(

Even beyond renting, installing a wifi camera is SO much cheaper than running Ethernet all over your house. And if you need it run through an external wall? Even more money.

And what IS my privilege internet stranger? I’m making a good faith argument on the internet that you disagree with, but I’m a stranger to you and you have no idea of what my daily life looks like or how much privilege I have or do not have.

I appreciate the disagreement, but I don’t appreciate assumptions of what kind of fucking castle I live in or how isolated I am from current events or political violence.
