Love that Floorp!

I would guarantee this thing is overcooked to hell, dry as a paper towel in the center. It probably swam in day-old red sauce in a pot for 90 minutes to prevent lawsuits, then cooled off, cooking another 20 holdover minutes. Then into the fridge to be microwaved when anon orders it.

Same. Never use these things on Android.

That’s about the connection to Car Play, not GPS

When customs ROMs and most FOSS apps are killed next year on Android, we’re all going to find out very quickly how much the trap has closed around us.

Same reason I loved to Linux on desktop, something that used to be cool and open and at least work mostly has enshittified beyond repair. I’m not going to let the bastards get me if I can help it.

I’m here for you, brother. We stand in solidarity.

“Look, guys, I vibecoded a wall!”

Caffeine habits are very real, and holy shit, that’s like 6-7 coffees a day. If he went cold turkey, it would be a week of hell at home, vomiting from the migranes.

So this whole list is actually

How to ask ChatGPT how to:

Coding

Computer Science …

Yeah, WTF is up with this? The people that will drink 3 or 4 cans of Monster a day? JFC, that shit’ll kill you, man!

This is the point, isn’t it?

Lock down their own ecosystem because they’re jealous of how Apple does it, so they can herd all users into their walled garden. Then close the gates behind them. There’s no easy way out, you can’t just wander back and forth anymore. You have to scale a wall in the dead of night and shed a tear as you look back and see everyone else having a lovely life, then set off into the dark forest of privacy on your own.

People hate friction in the first place. This is as much friction as they can realistically make on their own without triggering anti-trust cases and EU fines.

We should start a co-op that buys advertising data on people that say stuff like this and then bombards them with spam that says “You have nothing to hide, [name]! You want everyone to know you love [advertising data entry tied to them]”

He 100% didn’t think this would result in criminal charges. A lot of people don’t think through the “how will this company with lawyers react to my petty nonsense?” when doing stuff like this.

Consent?

As if any of these people want to talk to ME for 3 hours?

That comes up in that sub occasionally and people offer it as a service. It’s 2 different universes in there - people who are like giving a child a Harry Potter toy wand that think they’re magic, and then a stage magician with 20 years of experience doing up close slight-of-hand magic that takes work to learn, telling the kid “you’re not doing what you think you’re doing here” and then the kid starts to cry and their friends come over and try to berate the stage magician and shout that he’s wrong because Hagrid said Harry’s a wizard and if you have the plastic wand that goes “bbbring!” you’re Harry Potter.

Yeah, but it’s like it’s total slop on top of the censorship part. It’s literally adding insult to injury.

“Poorly Implemented Attempt to Censor Porn will Ruin Corporate Internet”

There, FTFY

Agreed! (because then I would get 3 more points on the test)

Got the same, I can’t believe how many weird comments and extra random things can get added into an email address.

Sadly, this is a human trait overall. It’s deep in the lizard brain section from early in our evolution.

If someone is part of a group and then does something seen as against the interest of the group (or groupthink, really) then any tiny little thing can become a trait leveraged against them. Either the person on the outs basically accepts demotion on the social ladder and hopes for re-acceptance from the group as subservient to everyone, or they’re just out for good. It’s one of our worst traits from a rational perspective, it’s violent and irrational monkey-brain shit, and likely made for small homogeneous, tight-knit groups that could count on each other to survive harsh environmental conditions.
