Just keep telling them that they are beautiful.
Someone with body issues of any sort just need to have their self-esteem reinforced.
Targetting their specific issue can seam insincere. Just telling them that they are beautiful is enough.
It is most as if the ground state of being is Awake.
Who would have thunk it!?
This is evidence that the US political system does not function.
There are two paths forward;
I would not call Zohran Mandani a socialist. I would call him a progressive rational centralist.
Feudalism is based on Chivalry where the Lords have a mutual responsibility to their subjects and serfs.
They are not trying to create feudal kingdoms, they are trying to establish little dictatorships.
I’m pretty sure he is doing it on purpose now.
He is trying to destroy the country. No one can be that stupid.
Me too, and Copilot is disabled on my work computer (and then magically reenabling itself)
Please tell me how to disable Data Detectors on MacOS, sometimes a number is just a numerical string and is not a Phone number; actually it it quite unusual for it to ever be a phone number. Even if it is a phone number, I would love to be able to just copy and paste it without it trying to connect to my phone and prank call some poor sucker.
This reminds me of when I got Spore on Optical disc for my (brand new at the time) Intel iMac. The disc was ISO9660 with both Joliet and HFS extensions, so if you put it in Windows, it would show up natively and if you put it in a Mac, it would also be native.
After a few games in MacOSX I was disappointed with the performance so I started to dig and realised it was the Windows Binary with some sort of WINE-like translation layer. I assumed it would run better natively in Windows.
I installed Bootcamp and a stripped-down version of Windows Vista and then installed the native Windows version. It installed a Root kit that broke most of Vistas security and the game ran even worse and crashed constantly.
I don’t think that Microsoft deserves all the blame for games running like shit natively. The users who pirate games and the studios who don’t trust Windows users to not pirate games deserve the blame as well.
Microsoft (and Post-Jobs Apple) definitely do deserve a lot of blame for allowing their platforms to get so bloated with so many features that users don’t want. Copilot should have been laughed out of the boardroom and Apple Intelligence is an underperforming, overly obnoxious know-nothing know-it-all.
After this he joined DOGI and went to the Library of Congress.
I reckon that the next phone I get will be a Linux Phone.
I will keep my iPhone mini for those things where I need an Android or iPhone (banking, government, etc), but my daily driver will be something that I have complete control over.
Time to watch Glass Onion again.
The Boring Company is propping up the price with the sales of NotAFlameThrowers to DOGE.
As evil as Graham Lineham is, I do need to post the parody of these forwarders that was in The IT Crowd.
Anyone who uses gMail knows (or should know) that their data is being used for commercial purposes. Any business that uses Google.Business or MS Office should also be aware that they are giving away all their corporate secrets, regardless of any “Opt-In”/“Opt-Out” broken promises.
If they get Apple Intelligence into a functional form, (and not an embarrassing hilarious punchline in an anecdote), the will be profiting of my data.
They can claim that it is Opt-In only (until a bug the next software update ‘accidentally’ changes my Opt-out status) and they can Anonymize my data, but that still doesn’t change the fact that they inferred that hey wouldn’t use my data.
At least their user abuse is still less than Mozilla and Google threw out the “Don’t be Evil” motto decades ago…
Is this the same “Opt-In” as keeping Apple Intelligence disabled between software updates?
Apple are haemorrhaging a lot of hard earned goodwill every time they try to move forward with their own AI.
That still doesn’t give them the right to mine the data that their users entrusted to them though a paid service.
It doesn’t matter how anonymised their harvesting is, they had an agreement with their subscribers not to invade their privacy like this.
We are better off with a LLM that doesn’t work than abusing the data entrusted to them by their users.
It won’t be long until the LLM bubble bursts and we all laugh about how stupid we were to think they had any use whatsoever.
It’s not the competitive pricing that is the issue, it the forced upgrade cycle and invasive user policies.
(Except for system admin costs and Mail/File Hosting) a Linux-based solution is literally Free. I would assume that Mail and File hosting for Governmental Entities should be hosted in-house anyway.
I as lucky enough to use Apollo. As soon as it stopped working, Reddit became useless to me.
(Or not useful enough to use their horrendous website, old.reddit website or official app)
The thing about Federation is that one server of a few hundred users can federate with all the other servers of a few hundred units and also other Federated services.
The next thing you know, you have a social network graph of millions of people, on thousands of servers (and not one ad).
Repetition with sincerity.
