Theoretically, sure there’s potential. But it shouldn’t be getting used as a commercial product in the meantime.

Especially generative. Letting it write, compose, create… All of that is 1,000% a mistake. The kind accessible to the public can’t currently create at scale without unethical access to source material.

It shouldn’t be getting shoehorned into every job possible while it’s still in this pre-alpha kind of state.

Although I don’t actually know the ratio of research use vs casual use, tbf. But this shit gotta be litigated and used properly with proper guidelines, not just thrown out like this.

It’s still way too early for this shit. Our willingness as a species to just jump into new tech should have been tempered to be smarter by now.

Maybe I would’ve been reluctant about those technologies. But I am convinced with data. And so far I’ve only seen problems with it, no actual benefits.

Lol

Yes, but there’s zero fucking actual benefit.

Seeing memes posted here that use AI while sitting on it is the most confusing thing to me.

Just… don’t use it, people. The hole burning in AI bros’ pockets will close up if you just stop making it profitable. Even the free ones are making money with ads. Don’t use it, even for a joke.

Invent a new urinal and demand everyone use a shewee-like thing (for aim purposes). Now everyone can enjoy the satisfaction of peeing standing up and we can get rid of all gendered restrooms.

Now what, maga?

Found the diaper-wearer.

That’s… why I’m here

I never understood the use case for it. Not saying it’s not there, but I don’t get it. I can only see a few where it would even be usable at all, and even then they seem like a super rare situation.

One, to charge another phone that doesn’t have access to the right cable (fucking Apple just thought that was cool for a while I guess- total fucking morons-actual braindead) in which case I can only see it useful in desperate situations. But personally I don’t carry a second device around that would need it or be able to take advantage of it. I am just hearing in this thread that the Pixel Buds can do this which I hadn’t heard before, but lately I haven’t really used them for long periods anyway, so admittedly I’m not the target. I just don’t think the target is that big.

And I almost always have a charger somewhere accessible that would negate the point anyway.

But qi2 seems just marginally more convenient at best, but not really impactful. But plopping it the charger instead of fiddling to find the end of the cord and insert it into the phone, while potentially dealing with kids or pets or anything that makes it hard to take a second it would be a little more convenient.

But if the 2 choices, a little convenience far faaaaar outweighs a parlor trick. Am I missing something? The reverse charging (even while iPhones were all wireless charging) just seemed like a compensation for not being able to do that. And now it seems like they’re finally able to do it for whatever reason. So taking away the pity feature to give us the real deal is a good thing it seems for almost everybody.

I’m the end though, they really need to go back to chunkier phones that can just do everything rather than all these super skinny ones that you have to pick and choose what it will and won’t be able to do. Make it fatter and give us both (both = qi and reverse), and a headphone jack, and swappable batteries and extra SD slots, and swappable backplates that aren’t made of glass and breakable.

The last time I had a wireless chargeable phone was the Galaxy S3. And I’ve been on Nexus/Pixels since that device. And it wasn’t even that way, I used a 3rd party add-on to even get that. And it didn’t have magnets. Back in my day…

Fades out while shaking fist at sky

You found the black swans.

Every tobacco smoker is gross.

Maybe that’s a product of the old “every swan is white” kind of fallacy (don’t know the name of it offhand), but I’ve never met a habitual smoker that didn’t cause physical pain to be around. They stink, their clothes stink, their car stinks, their room stinks, and maybe their whole house.

“Stinks” may be just an opinion, but it seems to be almost universally agreed on (again, in my experience).

I’ve always looked down on them and judged them for consciously coding to smell like that, especially because all they get from it is keeping the symptoms of withdrawal away. They don’t get “high”, they don’t even get “relaxed” (except in the manner of relief from withdrawal symptoms). Literally all they get is smelling like poison and a priority pass to the lung cancer ride.

Not to mention possibly causing mild symptoms to everyone else nearby.

Also everyone doing it now wasn’t born back when they thought it was beneficial or even neutral. It’s always been the most reliable route to cancer in everyone alive today’s life.

So I think all smokers are stupid and stinky at the very best, and intentionally malicious at worst.

Given that there is absolutely no benefit at all, and given the definite danger of it to you and others, I deem smokers are just bad people in general.

On the more stupid end of the spectrum, they’re more stupid than bad, but even the very “best” tobacco for is stupid AF.

So to answer, no I don’t consume tobacco, and that is why.

Alcohol I believe is at least not as addictive, but is a bad choice for most of the same reasons. Typically they have to go more out of control to present an offensive odor, and if kept away from driving or sharp things, much less danger to others.

Their motivations seem more apparent since they do get high from it (drunk is basically just the word for a high specifically from alcohol). I also think that (not pushing this as I don’t know definitively) alcohol does less cumulative damage over time when used responsibly.

I drank occasionally (aka like 2x a week at the extreme high end) for a few years, and while I didn’t ever get a hangover exactly, I did black out once and started getting headaches regularly, so it quickly became more of a negative than a positive. Haven’t touched it for over 9 years, except for one sip of champagne for a toast at my brother’s wedding. And it was kinda gross in my opinion. Never did like the taste of alcohol, but being drunk was fun as a while as a kid, and enjoying doing something my parents wouldn’t like (coming out of a pretty conservative household) was part of it.

But almost no one just smokes occasionally. Plenty of drinkers drink occasionally. And if they’re not driving, they’re likely being annoying at worst. I don’t judge them nearly as harshly as tobacco smokers.

I’m fine with weed enjoyers. Whether you smoke it, vape it, or eat it, I’m interested in all of it. But it does still have an odor problem. Tobacco smells bad kinda universally (in my opinion), and that tar in it makes it super gross. I’ve never seen weed smoke “set in” to anything and make any permanent kinda smell. Maybe because I keep it cleaned up, maybe just because it’s not as oppressive in the first place.

Obviously I’m biased in how “bad” the smells are in relation to each other, but weed smell does seem to dissipate more. In my case I dry vape it, mostly through a window so it goes outside. None of my shit smells like weed. The room smells a bit when I’m emptying abv and loading new, but as soon as it’s put away it’s like it was never there.

So anyway, no. I don’t do either. And if you smoke tobacco (at least often or regularly), we are probably not friends. And you would definitely not be my SO. Smoking goes on the “ick” list for sure. Probably the textbook example of an ick.

I get “not found”. You got farther than me.

Screen those piddly lame ass infected toes, I wish all commercial advertisers straight up instant death. Make one website where people can look you up, and have promotions happen there; but nothing should ever be advertised anywhere outside that.

Advertisement is a cancer. Bad in every way.

Got my yelling at clouds done for today. I offer no further solution, but adverts are definitely just a problem of humanity, not a benefit.

It doesn’t really matter if we think they’re people. It doesn’t really matter if they are. We (all the worthy humans) should treat them as non people.

I can’t see a negative here beyond false identification. If there was an objective, without a doubt way to measure if someone was a Nazi, I would support genociding them (and only them). Proactively. It should simply be as illegal to just be a Nazi on the same level as it would be to murder an entire country’s population.

Turns out that is either impossible or we’re millions of years from figuring out how to do that safely (safe in terms of not harming non Nazis). But the minute we do I’d be on board with punishing them for daring to be born. There is no world of timeline in which being Nazi isn’t worthy of immediate execution.

But since all of that is a pipe dream, in the mean time we can at least celebrate when they get taken out naturally. I wouldn’t like rub it in the family’s face (unless they were Nazis as well) or anything, but I’m definitely not even gonna act sad about it. The more pain they feel as they die, the harder I laugh. Tough lessons suck to learn. Sorry NOT sorry.

As a last note, I think that would be the better world, and it would be defending ourselves from their existence, which is a threat to everyone. As long as that idea is still in someone’s head, no one is safe.

I feel based on the name of the community, some rules would be obvious. But a “absolutely nothing from you, male scum” isn’t obvious.

I posted one there yesterday or this morning, haven’t checked on it, but it’s probably deleted now. No harm no foul. It wasn’t meant to break a rule, and they can do what they want. But I would’ve never even known if not for this post.

But I will be blocking the sub now. Both because I’m apparently not welcome, and because I will probably accidentally do it again otherwise.

Edit: It wasn’t that sub after checking. Phew. One less toxic place to be.

Mine are blank too.

I specifically wanted to learn to type without looking, so I got a blank one. I know it was from DAS but I forget the model.

I had some problem with it and put a new one on my birthday list and got it from family and been fine since then. I still have the other one, so it must’ve just been an annoyance and not actually broken. I honestly don’t remember.

Removable battery is #1. My old Galaxy S3 (not even my first phone-yes I’m old) has absolutely godawful battery life but I had I think 4 total batteries around to make sure I could always have it even on a heavy use day. That sucked, but at least it was doable with a really easy process (peel off plastic back, pull out and swap battery, snap the backplate back on).

I keep an old phone around and sometimes use it to play like a video for my cats to watch if they’re laying on my bed when I’m not in there. But it has to stay plugged in because it loses the first 20% in about 15 minutes.

And that phone in particular (a pixel 2) is particularly a pain to replace the battery in the first place.

Finally, an actual good use of the “chainsaw of bureaucracy”.

But yeah, this needs to be said more.

The problem for me is that it’s hard to see them being more than a potential child molester.

Maybe not so much if it’s like just “the forbidden kink”, but if it’s more of the main show it feels like they’re just so much more likely to do it eventually.

Now I haven’t read any data on it, but it does naturally raise concern to be wary.

But people at large really love an easy target to dump rage on. And I get it, I’ve been in that crowd.

I may have been saddled with a really weird collection of my own kinks, preferences, and desires, but at least all of mine are kid free. And at my age I still call 20-somethings kids.

And Kari Lake.

The math doesn’t math.

Even assuming the drinks cost $3, even if all 60 bought one, that’s $180, not 2 or 3 hunnid.

And that’s not counting the work to do the interviews, as mentioned by others, or counting the work to do inventory and stick the machine, it even the cost of the drinks themselves.

Bro really doin all this work for what accounts to maybe $30 profit on a good day. Which would be ok for a tiny amount of work, but even if he does this at his regular job, is just a decent chunk extra, not a ton.
