"no he's like really old. He reads a newspaper"

I think this is a fair dig haha

The state. It's literally how this works in other countries. (Victoria, Australia, anyway)

Wait, this ISN'T how it works where you live?

Where I live (in Victoria, Australia), the bond is held in trust by the residential tenancies bond authority. At the end of the lease the landlord can try make a claim, but you can take them to VCAT (a small claims tribunal) to argue against it, and until either all parties agree, or the court orders it, the bond doesn't get paid out to anyone.

Our laws are far from good, and still favour owners too much, but damn. Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

I'm gonna posit something even worse. It's trained on conversations in a company Slack

Unfortunately I am primarily an android user, as I always have my phone with me.

I shall give it a go for desktop at some point though

Friendship ended with Firefox. Waterfox is my new best friend ❤️

I feel so left out

This is what my back right pocket was intended for.

Sure, but I'm still feeling like complaining that there isn't a business that's made affordable pay-to-search a thing. (That I know of)

I'm not taking back that $120 USD/year for search is way more than most people would be willing to pay

Though yeah, I suppose saying their business model isn't working was hyperbolic, I must admit.

Welcome refugees, the waters warm and we've got the kettle on for a cuppa

The business model just doesn't make sense then (using search partners).

Because $60, let alone $120 US, a year is far more than most people would be willing to pay.

Dunno what to say, it's just more than most people can justify paying for the service.

I'm gonna stick with DuckDuckGo and the newly free mullvad cached search

Presidential pardons are one of the dumbest powers. Change my mind.

(Plenty of more stable countries get on fine without it, and don't have to deal with this nonsense to boot)

The fact that "affluent" and "effluent" are basically the same word can't be coincidence

This is because people assume that you should do it out of the goodness of your heart. Since you're not mass producing.

Which is absurd.

If anything they should be willing to pay you a premium for a high quality product produced in far better conditions.

Old man yells at cloud these damn Americans using "ironic" when they mean "sarcastic"

I honestly wonder what these sorts of jobs are. I feel like I have barely any reason to use AI ever in my job.

But this may because I'm not summarising much, if ever

AI can't think, and how long emails are people writing to ever make the effort of asking the AI to write something for you worth it?

By the time you've asked it to include everything you wanted, you could have just written the damn email

Downvoters mad to find out cars are inherently unsafe and need very good infrastructure and to be remotely safe.

Downvoters mad that E_k= ½mv², and speed, funnily enough, is dangerous.

Downvoters mad that manual transmission isn't making cars safer.

Car go vroom vroom, but public transport go better

Fax

I'd happily pay for search, but Kagi is way too expensive.

10 searches a day, for $5/month? (US)

Like, that is way too much.

I can receive thousands and send thousands of emails per day for that price. Is search really that much more expensive?

This is what I'm planning to do with some textbooks I want for my work.

$200-$300 and you want me to download an app that may or may not even work in 10 years?

Nah, I'm gonna future proof my access no remorse 🏴‍☠️

I will pay though, because it's tax deductible, and also because it I ever get questioned on it (since I use them around coworkers and management), I'm golden.

While there are still a lot of low quality things produced en masse in China, this take is getting more and more out of date.

South Korea and Japan used to make cheap crap too until their industrial output developed to the point the average quality was high.

We have reached this point to a certain degree with China too. Their EVs sure as hell are better than Tesla's.

There's a lot of high quality stuff coming out of China now, along with crap.
