All I see if I scroll is AI slop. Hundred different variations of one theme or another in different groups or pages I've never subscribed to.

I go straight to Marketplace or whatever group I need and that's it these days.

I want to learn less

I liked it because it was a learning app and I have a tendency to fall off. But paying real money to restore my streak? Hell nah

Originally the criticism was that you see the highlights of other people's lives and then compare that to your everyday life and that's depressing.

Nowadays I think it's all the politics being injected everywhere. Me? I look for cars and car parts on groups. That's about it.

At this point I'm thinking I'll just take a trip to Tenerife to continue learning Spanish.

Other apps aren't good at gamification I hear - and that was the only thing that kept me using it till a while ago. I have ADHD. The leveling up, streaks, etc, is what kept me going when the novelty of learning yet another foreign language wore off - I already had to learn two in school and I only ever really use one of them, you can guess which one.

And the entries would've gotten ludicrous towards the bottom

My cheap ass TV from 2019 is 55 inches. How much is a 55 inch monitor? Or a 65 in monitor if I want to upgrade to a bigger size in the future?

He put out another Bad Boys sequel last year. I'm pretty sure he's doing aight financially. If not, he's a moron and it's funny because it's always funny when rich people go broke.

Well in the EU you get instant free payments through SEPA and the US is trying to implement something similar with FedNow. Doesn't solve the cross border issues, but Wise does once you can get the money on Wise. I get paid in dollars via ACH and they become euros real fast once I see them in my account. 1000 dollars converted is just under 3 dollars in fees and then the transfer from Wise to any other SEPA account is free and instant.

Now crypto could very well make this all even smoother worldwide but unfortunately we have governments and they like to see what's going on. So no reputable merchants will ever be able to take XMR payments in most countries.

Chrysler 300M. Second car I ever owned, kept it for years

ML was called AI before too, but since the consumer didn't interface with it directly usually, it was just part of the marketing, not the entirety of it.

Had a fancy ML algo power a small part of your solution? Your software is now AI powered.

Still increases your electricity bill. Why can't the smoker just have the common decency to not smoke next to an open window? I know I never do, it's just rude.

I thought men's health month was in Movember?

This average height manlet here is glad to be off Tinder. It sucks. I'd honestly rather pay prostitutes. I've never done that, but seems better value for money if you value your time as much as money (and I personally value it more)

Absolutely - if you're good about your opsec. If you're not, it's almost worse than a bank transaction and for sure worse than cash.

I hope she enjoys the Mini! Though at this point that's a fairly modern car. 15 years old is 2010 and many of those allow retrofitting factory options for sound. I'm looking to get Carplay in my brand new 18 year old German shitbox that's both falling apart and in excellent shape at the same time. Mr12volt has kits for a lot of those, but sadly no Minis.

Things are slowly starting to get better in a lot of the fields I interface with.

Payroll and accounting software? Many great browser-based offerings. Unfortunately that also means the backend is running in the developer's servers, but these applications were generally proprietary to begin with.

EMR company I've done a lot of work with (used to be an engineer there), has essentially halted progress on their Windows-only native client (and it was DEEPLY entrenched in Windows) and is now browser based, retaining 99% of functionality. This one always connected to a proprietary backend anyway.

Own a VW, Audi, Seat, Škoda, Bentley or Lamborghini (depending on model year for some of those)? The popular 3rd party diagnostic software for those, called VCDS, now has a mobile variant if you buy the wireless dongle instead of the cable - it runs a server in the dongle itself that you connect to via wifi, and it displays the sofware as a website. Of course it's available for non-mobile browsers too.

Common theme among all of these is that none need to do heavy data processing on the client - though nowadays that is also solvable using WASM.

My culture is a very dominant culture, and it's imposing and it's causing problems. If you don't do something about it, you're going to have taco trucks on every corner.

Tell me you hate your own culture without telling me you hate your own culture.

2018 here lol

I'm assuming you've moved on, but if not, there are FM transmitters for when you want music or navigation instructions from your phone to play over the vehicle's speakers. Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack ones are both available.
