Havarti har har! 🤣

Wait, isn’t this actually a step in the right direction? Can someone eli5?

the taste sensation that is peculiarly acrid, astringent, and often disagreeable and is characteristic of citrus peels, unsweetened cocoa, black coffee, mature leafy greens (such as kale or mustard), or ale

It sounds like you are an outlier. Believe it or not, it’s still one of the most popular messaging systems in the world. People send 23 billion text messages every day.

My job in life are public facing, so it is absolutely essential, whether I like it or not.

Looks interesting, thanks.

I might try that. I have to use windows through my employer, which is really where the need lies. I may try to set up WSL.

I’ve had a couple conversations on here about FOSS RCS and it looks like it’s just not possible because of Google’s obstruction. Pretty disappointing.

probably because FOSS devs think SMS needs to die, and I agree

Be that as it may, people send 23 billion text messages every day. If you’re at all involved with the public, it’s absolutely unavoidable.

I kinda like it.

Also I had no idea Apple had so much email. I sort of thought gmail would have the top spot.

Just literal fraud

Unpopular opinion, but the bible says to donate 10%, so I do. Mostly to a woman’s health organization, the local food bank, and community causes

I’d be in favor of a phase out of IP law. It would probably require a LOT more public investment in the arts and sciences. But public funding would lead to public ownership, so society would benefit on the whole.

No one would be getting rich off of creative works, but we would want to be sure that people will still make a living.

Or UBI would work even better.

It’s 5785 on the Hebrew Calendar.

Do you have the phrase “out of the frying pan and into the fire” in Europe?

Mildly approaching an actually useful AI in the stupidest way possible.

I don’t need an AI shortcut in Excel that is just a chatbot. If it could actually perform complex redundant tasks, then it would be useful.

“Copilot, please create 3 charts of the most important data and create a Powerpoint with animations to present it.”

Until it can do things like that, it’s useless to me.

Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

Right now I’m primarily using Summit for mobile browsing, tesseract for moderation and on desktop.

Cool, money is more important than freedom anyway./s

Thanks! I must have missed that one.

If it is open source and on-device (for personal recommendations) then I see it as a great thing.

Lemmy has demonstrated that it can really work. Quiblr even has personalized recommendations on-device (not open source though and it’s now open source).

Mastodon and others should take note.
