Outlook has spent the last 2 weeks freezing on me constantly, and Excel freezes with it. Absolutely painful, seriously thinking of jumping to Linux this year, with MSoft ending support for W10.

29 😅

Ha what’s that from

It must be an Android update as that’s all I ever do, and I never installed Gemini. I just checked and it was there, with permissions to access WhatsApp and multiple other apps. I just removed all the permissions and disabled the app. We’ll see if any future updates turn it back on.

Shhhhhneeeeeky bastards.

There’s a new season, happy days.

I miss Bob’s Burgers. We finished them all last year

If I was Google I would be hugely worried about ChatGPT. I’ve started using it to search for info over mainly DuckDuckGo but also Google.

It’s the same in Ireland, WhatsApp is pervasive. It was a great app until Zuck bought it. It’s still a good app but I hate using anything by him.

Please, please, make them sell WhatsApp.

I actively boycott Zuckerberg’s offerings bar WhatsApp coz the bastard bought it out from under us. Fuck him, fuck Meta

WhatsApp is ubiquitous in Ireland, if only it was as easy to get away from it. Everything from clubs, schools, kids sport is done via group chats on WhatsApp. Absolutely hate Meta as a company, WhatsApp is the only app I use of theirs and only because they bought it from under us. If we could get proper interoperability, we could use a non WhatsApp app, but it’s not looking good so far.

Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it’s called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?

Signal is great. Think I read that WhatsApp will be forced to allow interoperability with other apps. Would be great if you could use Signal to access chats that started on WhatsApp. Fuck Zuckerberg. Whatsapp the only Meta app I use and only because the bastards bought it

As soon as they’re forced to allow interoperability with other apps, I’ll be deleting WhatsApp. Had a Facebook from the beginning but deleted it when the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened. Have never had an Instagram. Fuck Meta and its horrible owner.

Thank fuck I deleted my Facebook when I did (around the time of the Cambrige Analytica scandal). Never had an Instagram.

For anyone reading, delete them all. Load of shite, you won’t miss them.

Problematic for who, the tech companies? They’re practically printing money. Let them spend it on actual solutions to issues that are causing problems for the World.

Actually yeah, forgot about having to do that on my 1st ID4.

Short answer no. I now have two in my house. VW ID4 & ID3. So nice to drive, cheap to run and the maintenance costs are basically 0.

Google and other companies are being covered by it, as they are headquartered in Ireland for their EU activity. So what’s dumb about that? And what are you on about sensoring? Did you even read the article?

I’ve read your sentence multiple times and I’ve no idea what it means.
