Right, this clearly is not Mom’s spaghetti

The way they are doing it is kind of sketchy though. They are replacing the old search functionality with Gemini and now if you click the search icon in Google photos it immediately pops up asking you to pick your own face. There’s no option to skip this step, though you can still revert to the old search for now.

The creepy part is that when they ask you to select your face, it’s pretty clear they’ve already figured it out, because it’s the first face they show you.

Labour not burning piles of political capital on ridiculous pet issues challenge (impossible, any%):

Look, usually I am just as much “fuck trump” as anyone else l, but seriously, how many of you would honestly just let a perfectly good racoon penis go to waste?

It’s hilarious how every EV thread on the Internet always has one person who is like “well I can’t set a land speed record for my daily trip to the one taco bell I like which is 376 miles away because my chalupas will get cold if I have to charge for 20 minutes.”

Meanwhile everyone who actually owns an EV is like “yeah it really isn’t a big deal, I get 400 mile chalupas all the time”

It would be super easy to make it modular so the batteries can be swapped when they reach end of life. A well maintained lithium cell can last decades though if it is charged and discharged at relatively low rate.

Yeah we studied this exact literal scenario in the “renewable energy” engineering course I took in like 2007. The future of grid scale storage will basically be utilities giving out free or heavily subsidized battery packs to individual customers to form distributed micro-grids which can balance the renewable “duck curve,” and a major catalyst for this will be when EVs help establish a lithium battery recycling ecosystem.

Oh, we’re still talking about this?

Same. I spent easily 100 hours just doing paintball. It seemed like they had a cool thing going, sad to see it die.

Yeah I hated systemd since before it was cool to hate systemd again.

child predators are a real world problem

I cannot emphasize this enough - I absolutely do not care what your children do on the Internet.

The lack of simple attacks on soft targets is proof that the threat is overstated and that a statistically overwhelming portion of humans simply don’t want to put bombs on busses and rig them to explode on bridges or in tunnels.

Does not bake delicious lasagna

I’m sure they just understand the problems with glorifying warfare in video games marketed to children.

Yes, the advertising is straight up misleading, saying shit like it protects you from viruses, and hides your browsing history from your ISP and lets you get international Netflix. It literally does nothing for viruses, it just exposes you to a different ISP (Nord), and Netflix is usually pretty quick about VPN blocking.

Wait until he learns that English is a hybrid of Latin, French and German.

I have found Gemini the hardest to jailbreak tbh. I have been able to get Claude and CGPT to straight up give me a list of curses and slurs it isn’t allowed to say, but Gemini will only do it if you say the words first.

Affordability and battery life. I am team linux and android normally, but you really cannot beat a MacBook as an SSH terminal or remote development terminal because they are reliable and the battery lasts all day.

What reason is that? What mess? I don’t give a shit what other people’s kids do on the Internet.
