I still have the old school Google assistant on my phone, and it manages to remind me of things all the time without costing anything

39·9 months agoSame as when my computer refuses to finish writing to a flash drive. When I press that “safely remove hardware” button, it is not a request, it is a warning. If the data is corrupted after I yank the stupid thing, so be it
The only thing enthusiasts love more than obscure CLI commands is random github links. The next time someone sends me a github link without explicit instructions on how to turn the contents of that link into a program on my computer, I’m hiring some witches from Etsy to hex them

I play this game with myself every single day on my drive home from work. Someday I’m going to die, and someone is going to pull the SD card out of my dash cam and hear me ranting about how Reki’s attempt to earn salvation was inherently selfish as she was only going it to stop being sinbound, but in the end that selfishness didn’t matter because she was actually helping people. Even if she only helped Rakka cope with her sinboundedness in an attempt to save herself, she still helped Rakka. And ultimately that did lead to her salvation, as Rakka was only able to help save Reki because Reki helped save Rakka—oh hey, I’m home
My favorite LTT nonsense was when he said ad blockers are piracy
but a mistake was made by someone in logistics at LTT so it wasn’t put aside for return as it should.
And was subsequently sold, without Billet Labs’ permission. What did I say that was incorrect?
Google doesn’t tell you that killing yourself is a good idea and that you shouldn’t talk to anyone else about your suicidal ideation

News@lemmy.world•Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing
2·11 months agoNothing in this bill would lead to the use of VPNs being banned. Any given website could hypothetically ban the use of VPNs to access it, but that’s not a ban on VPNs the way the headline makes it out to be.
how exactly do you determine a visitor to Pornhub is actually a VPN user from Wisconsin?
It’s impossible, which means that in order to be compliant, websites would have to simply stop serving Wisconsin, like they already have with several other US states. There is nothing preventing either you or Pornhub from sending whatever 1s and 0s you want to some random Mullvad server in Canada. They can’t even punish Mullvad for this, as the text of the bill explicitly “prohibits business entities from knowingly and intentionally publishing or distributing material harmful to minors on the Internet,” and any good VPN has no idea what material you’re accessing via their servers.

1·11 months agoThe mythical “they.” I can’t wait for Kansas lawmakers to see Wisconsin’s complete isolation from the rest of the world and think “this will be popular among our constituents”
Wow, I must be psychic or something
Yep, that’s the point. Literally every republican policy is intended to cause as much pain and suffering and death as possible, because they’re Baal worshipping death cultists
How can you tell if a photo you see predates generative AI? Anyone can slap a “2009-10-15” in the metadata
