Even better, don’t use Twitter at all and don’t support its insane fascist asshole billionaire owner.

Seriously, why even continue talk8ng about twitter? Let it die.

Sure. But we’re nowhere near AI yet.

Convicted PEDOPHILE rapist!

55 here, and I got to play lunar lander on my dad’s lab PDP-8 even before my grandparents got Pong.

Currently working my way through Fallout London.

This seems suspect.

The woman in question is a tiktok ‘influencer’ who has the most amazing things hapoen to her - always wiithout evidence.

I think it’s just as likely that she’s lying to get views and subscribers,

Lots of middle ground out there.

Marantz, NAD, Cambridge Audio, and others all can put together great semi-audiophole systems. If a shop tries to upsell you on cables etc., judt tell them ‘you’re already covered.’

Meanwhile, small speakers for under $500 have never sounded better.

Or you can step up a notch and by used. I’ve got Rotel and Rega gear, which is way over-value.

Unlike most, I survived the API garbage because I primarily used the desktop site.

But the subsequent response and then the removal of the “don’t sell my personal info” option was clearly spez saying the quiet part out loud. Asshole doesn’t deserve to get richer off of my effort.

They’re terrorists.

Not activists, terrorists.

You don’t need an app for that, just replace ‘www’ with ‘old’ in the URL.

Nobody cares anymore.

As frustrating as this may be, it’s even more frustrating when I see exactly the same thing among PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!

directory structure and basic text editing are foreign concepts to them. If it’s not in their IDE, they really don’t understand it.

Also, 90% of them are hunt-and-peck two finger typists.

Really?

The PDF contains the information. The screenshot contains a picture of the information.

It’s a tree vs. a picture of a tree. A recording vs. a live performance.

Bullshit.

This whole endeavour is looking like a careful plan to implement a smaller, slightly less horrible idea in Win11, and then creep forward from there.

Remember the model to move the goal line, folks:

• Overreach
• Capitulate publicly and fall back to your true target
• Repeat

Best of all, these large steps can be supplemented by nudging things forward with ‘adjusttments.’

Cold watermelon soup with anise and cracked black pepper.

It was the appetizer to a meal that included duck breast smoked with lapsang souchong tea.

All of ot was outstanding.

I wish we could really press the main point here: Google is willfully foisting their LLM on the public, and presenting it as a useful tool. It is not, which makes them guilty of neglicence and fraud.

Pichai needs to end up in jail and Google broken up into at least ten companies.

This is only a problem if you present the AI as an effective general-purpose tool. Which Google has.

So maybe we start suing google for harmful answers.

I’m sure it depends on the country. Here in Canada, you are gambling between safely importing an illegal firearm vs. an indictable offense which can lead to three years in jail (for the first gun). And that’s assuming the firearm is otherwise legal in Canada.

Obviously it happens - most handguns used in crimes in Canada are illegally smuggled in from the US. Just understand though, that you’d be setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

Almost certainly. But getting it home would be a problem, as almost every other country on earth has stringent firearm import laws to navigate.

Someone famous for backing up a great guitarist.

You haven’t seen our hockey “celebrations” then.
