I mean there were no instructions up front because literally Google is refusing to give them, basically.
No more choice just the company force feeding the user and saying it’s good for them.

Nowhere in the email or any of the Support pages did Google say how to remove all Gemini integrations from my phone.
I then emailed Google PR and… I asked if someone could provide actionable guidance for my readers who want to ensure Gemini integrations are completely disabled. Instead of answering the question, the person responding to my email wrote, in part: “This update is good for users: they can now use Gemini to complete daily tasks on their mobile devices like send messages, initiate phone calls, and set timers while Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. With Gemini Apps Activity turned off, their Gemini chats are not being reviewed or used to improve our AI models.”

Literally that reads like you can’t turn it off and they just scrape less of your data on a technicality.

That’s really not. A calculator that only gave the right output 30% of the time would be worthless.

But… Mah Skrimps, they the fruit of the sea.

This is practically not an article. It really lacks any info other than
“they are recruiting for some kind of job people who had some other job and they are paying less but those people who didn’t do that job before seem to be happy because they didnt quit right away.”

Oh 2003? Nah $20 stretched hard back then, especially if it was a thrift store. Man even as a kid I could get so much stuff with $5 at a thrift store, I think I literally got a PC and a DVD player for like $10. Nobody was trying to maximize profit on every thing cause more was on the way.

Hasbrown at McDonald’s were .80¢, they are now $2.70. That $20 was more like $67.50 in actual purchase power.

Vacuum sealer.

They are always available used at thrift stores and they are simple machines but I can reseal bags of chips or other grocery items.

You can make your own bags for cheap from a roll and then individually wrap portions for the freezer that stay longer and don’t get freezer burn.

And if you get one that has a hose attachment you can seal bottles of wine, mead, or Tupperware for the fridge if you get the right lids.

There is no way you got that for $20. I keep meaning to get one since I love my wool coat I got at a thrift store but they are never that cheap.

Also very good for making hot chocolate.

I wish governments still believed in regulations instead of whatever this shit is.

Oh. Neat.

Thanks for the Wikipedia link

It’s just an insane read of a comment. Like step back and just read the progression on that from the outside.

My only response is, woah.

Woah dude.

Ah dang you did point it out. They even just copied the top comment there, unless they are ColdWetDog.

Ok so I think I’m the first person in the comments to actually click to read the article, cause I’m gonna say something I’m not seeing.

How did you get it to auto snap to the article comment section?
Didnt realize you could share that and it wouldn’t default to the article.

I actually think it’s way more like 4chan than reddit.

Niche threads are small handful of people every time, people feel pretty safe to get nasty really quick, and wild mix of people thinking it’s their safe space full of people that agree with them entirely from anarchists to fascists.
Also likely to see a random porn or furry post.

The secret is toaster oven. All best toast comes from them.

Does it always include the watermark? I didn’t realize toasters were snobs for copyright but it makes sense.

Ehh if it was good for uncle Dickie at 105, I’ll take the odds.

Toast

The polluting the waters they go bit is one of my only concerns to push back against. Depends on the ship but they shouldn’t be actively polluting the water and when they do it is a mistake or the annoyance of lack of laws letting someone be lazy.

Food waste is sterilized and neutralized to be be able to either dump into the ocean if it can or be disposed of later. All trash is sorted and recycled or burned for fuel with scrubbers removing heavy pollutants from the smoke stack.

Quite a few ships actually get unprocessed gas as the processing generates the lubricant they need for the engines and allows for less chemical release at the site of the processing. And is offloaded once spent to chemical handling companies.

They even purify their own water before dumping it using algae and enzymes before uv sterilizing it.

They just mess shit up in ways that are also hard to explain, such as oasis class ships were so large that then traveling to Venice had an issue where the vibrations of the motors were shaking the foundation of the city and causing parts to collapse. Their wake churns algae from water oxygenation and so much more. But they are more or less just a city on the water with all the ups and downs of a regular one with more classism.
