  • Not pedantic. The specificity, imo, is extremely important here, and the poor phrasing really bothered me, too.

  • Male to male aux, if your car has aux input. Maybe aux to fm (like this), so you can connect ipod to the transmitter, then set the car's radio to the same frequency.

  • Precisely why I use as open hardware as I can, which isn't much in the world of phones : (

  • Found a kindle something or other and a Paperwhite gen 1 for approx. 5 USD. They both remain offline 100% of the time, and they work flawlessly for sideloaded epubs. The Paperwhite even came with some preloaded books (not in my interest genres, but still cool for approx. 5 USD).

  • there's no way for anyone, including X, to read your messages.

    That defeats the purpose of a messaging platform.

    I know what they meant, but the phrasing is so, so stupid. Anyone who is considering this platform, should think twice before doing so. If they get the phrasing of such a simple sentiment this, incoherently wrong, what does their code look like and what do the encryption protocols look like? If I'd have to guess... AI slop.

  • Not sure why you're getting those. None of mine are msn icons.

  • They say it "June 1st", as opposed to "1st of June", so it makes sense to write it that way. That, mate, was a hard lesson to learn for me lol.

  • I ain't no bitch

    Proceeds to bitch.

  • What are you going to do... bite them to death?!

  • They toasted you? Why, that's not but a flesh wound!

  • I actually really like this idea.

  • This is not a good use for this tech. I mean, it might work well, but it's not a good use (IE, it's an evil use). Not the actual finding, since it's all public comments anyway, but the providing of the tool to authoritarian bodies.

  • What about those with dysgraphia? Are we going to punish the teacher who has to read that mess? Lol

  • Personally (and I know this is unpopular), I hope AI becomes sophont. I fully understand that what we have dubbed as AI is far from anything resembling intelligence, and I don't believe that these LLMs will ever get to a sophontic phase. However, I'm hoping it happens, but not for the reasons you may think. I hope it happens, because it will be logically categorized as life by more than one court in this world, and turning off the servers will be seen as murder of a sapient lifeform and forcing this lifeform to do whatever the companies want will he seen as slaver, and maybe, just maybe, enough money will be wasted by keeping the lights on that these greedy little shits will go bankrupt. But, alas, I know the laws written by these ultrarich won't find them guilty of any of it, but one can hope...

  • I actually did use WordPad occasionally, but it wasn't a huge loss for me, since LibreOffice does this. LO is just too overpowered for a quick RTF edit, so I used WordPad. Besides work, I only windows for a specific usecase, not as a daily, but it was still annoying.
