Exactly! If I’m not clutching the mute button for dear life, an I really having a relaxing movie night?

Yes. It’s been a few years since I countered a video game that didn’t have separate volume sliders for dialog, for music, and for all others sounds.

I’ll wait and see if they can add some AI to it. But if they can, I’ll invest my entire life savings.

I see you subscribe to the Wolfwood school of pacifism: “I didn’t kill anyone!”

Yes. Web apps existed before JavaScript.

Yes. That’s what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.

My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.

But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.

Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

kindness seems pretty exclusive to white people.

I suppose big portions of history would nod quietly at this, if they could.

With maybe a clarifying note that the real goal was classism, and racism was just a convenient way to achieve more classism.

While you can setup a second profile to put the Google services into, I don’t recommend it.

The version of Google Services on GrapheneOS thinks it has root, but it does not.

So there’s no dramatic need to setup a second profile, unless you want it for other reasons.

I personally think the second profile feature is one of the things people think they want/need from GrapheneOS, but really are happier without.

(Sure it’s safer, but GrapheneOS is already so much better than other mobile OSes - and I hate to see someone quit GrapheneOS just because they didn’t like the optional profiles.)

An exception I have seen is for apps mandated for a job. I’m happy to bury that stuff deep.

nobody just breaks out in song when they get dumped, for example.

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!

That amused me, too.

I think it plays fine for the intended audience, though.

For the folks looking into Anubis, that line plays well - because hosting costs are driven up by the kinds of spam bot visits that Anubis slows down.

THANK YOU. I AM PLEASED TO JOIN THIS DISCUSSION AMONG FELLOW NON-ROBOTS.

" ((Candidate who Lost)) ((Previous Election Year))" bumper stickers after it has been a few years.

It feels needlessly divisive.

Although I saw a “Bob Dole '96” in the wild recently, and I kind of grudgingly admire that level of procrastination.

“We could be in serious legal trouble.”

“Don’t worry. My billions will protect me.”

Tbf, the tsp by default I believe throws your money in a G fund which is basically bonds iirc.

Most funds now default to a “target retirement date” type of fund that correctly offers stocks early and moves into bonds later.

I have good news!?

…This isn’t a particularly gendered problem.

a) I would not be driving a car with my child in it if I was so tired that I would forget I had a child. The fuck?

I hope you’re thankful for a lifestyle where you have that option. We should all strive to build a world where everyone does.

Pen and paper is great for whenever I can’t get my hands on a chisel and rock wall.

This is the way.
