Damn. I liked Perplexity. Sucks to delete it, but this guy can fuck directly off.

Are you perhaps color blind? The shades of red and green were pretty clear for me at a glance.

The vitriol over this topic is humorous. We charge our phones and watches daily, nobody is losing their minds over that. However, asking for the mouse to be plugged in one night a month is outlandish and absurd.

The best part is that this minor issue overshadows the real issue: the ergonomics are terrible. I have large hands and simply can not hold onto the thing properly. Narrow and flat is poor design for something you need to get a grip on to slide around.

I’m pretty sure that we’re friends now by law.

Now if only they could add “swipe to go back” to their Linux client. Only thing keeping me off of Vivaldi these days.

Are you me? I’m also a lazy tech schlub now who was formerly a paint store warehouse worker, home renovation worker, etc.

Fully agree that everyone going into tech should spend real time working hard labor and retail. I genuinely feel that my non-tech experiences made me a better person and a better tech schlub.

I remember tech coworkers complaining that the wall filled with free snacks and candy didn’t have the right kind of snacks and candy, and having to hold myself back from going full Everett True.

Did I even watch the movie which hasn’t come out yet? I’m pretty sure I know which of us is a bot.

No.

Bring back my hopeful vision of the future Star Trek, I’m all done with this new wave.

You’re welcome.

Fuck you, Tony!

Careful now, “good faith” is religiously charged and implies that God is the source of all good intent, you’re gonna set this person off with that.

Multiple reports from observers of this execution method: it’s horrible, they thrash around on the gurney and seem to suffer greatly

This guy: nuh uh.

I’m definitely making fun of the original post. “Your phone is bad and you should feel bad based on this cherry picked set of metrics” is one of the dumbest debates of all time. Right up there with “my OS is better than your OS”.

Let people like what they like.

But if we don’t make the kind of phone we use our entire identity how will we know who we’re totally better than?

The White House said in a statement it was “deeply disturbed” by the killing and seeking an Israeli investigation.

Waiting on “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”.

Being actively under indictment is a lot different than just being investigated. Indictment requires that sufficient evidence has been gathered, reviewed, and (for a federal case) at least 12 of 23 jurors in a grand jury believe there is at least a 50% chance that you have actually committed a crime (12/16 jurors at the state level).

By the time you have been indicted you have received a lot of due process resulting in a concrete belief that if you go to court you will be convicted of having committed a crime.

I appreciate your intent with this, but one of our fundamental rights is due process. Penalizing an individual for simply being investigated would violate that right.

I’m not sure I’m willing to participate in experimenting with a US government where due process is wishy washy. I remember how horny we got for suspending habeas corpus via the patriot act.

I assume if the client is undetectable that ads will escalate to phoning home for viewing confirmation, and then to something even more dumb once we beat that.

It’s an arms race, it’s probably silly to think we can just outright win for once and all.

That monster. Goosebumps was a foundational part of my lifelong love of reading.
