I mean there were no instructions up front because literally Google is refusing to give them, basically.
No more choice just the company force feeding the user and saying it’s good for them.

Nowhere in the email or any of the Support pages did Google say how to remove all Gemini integrations from my phone.
I then emailed Google PR and… I asked if someone could provide actionable guidance for my readers who want to ensure Gemini integrations are completely disabled. Instead of answering the question, the person responding to my email wrote, in part: “This update is good for users: they can now use Gemini to complete daily tasks on their mobile devices like send messages, initiate phone calls, and set timers while Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. With Gemini Apps Activity turned off, their Gemini chats are not being reviewed or used to improve our AI models.”

Literally that reads like you can’t turn it off and they just scrape less of your data on a technicality.

Tech is silly sometimes.

That’s really not. A calculator that only gave the right output 30% of the time would be worthless.

But… Mah Skrimps, they the fruit of the sea.

Yeah. But that doesn’t mean it will never be used. It’s normal to want to be paid for the work done but if people want to share they can just share it.
I think it’s hard to say when someone will want your information and it might be well after you are dead and able to get anything from it.

There are lots of free recipes I would never use, and there are lots of paid cookbooks that I haven’t gotten my hands on yet but might one day because of their knowledge of making a good roux is worth saving (bake it, not in a pot)

Oh I am a scientist for everything I do. Make my hypothesis of and test stuff for how I think it would work but also so many people have done it already.

It’s essentially what all recipes are. Someone else did the research and I am taking their effort for an easier time. The best ones even note what changes to make for slight differences.

Also higher heat than you think, 400°F/200°C oil works best but you can also go dry and you will get a more puffed size apparently. To much moisture when cooking makes them dense.
I have discovered a wok is a really great popcorn maker if you don’t want to buy something niche. The high dome lid is double perfect for it and then shaking in the salt.

How much crap are you watching if you have to speed it up to get through it all?

I dunno. I just read multiple papers from years to decades ago on the mechanical factors for popcorn because I kept burning kettle corn.

Who knows who will crack open the book someday and why. You either want to contribute or not. Don’t focus on the perceived impact. It feels like modern culture has made any effort to try new things not seem worth it unless you get recognition but that’s not why we did it originally.

Having personally interacted with him more times than I would like, and it was only 3, he’s just a massive jerk, and a self assured belittler.

He doesn’t respect people. I’m not sure he respects anyone other than those that can make his image better, and then it’s conditional and stops when they aren’t useful.

Oh 2003? Nah $20 stretched hard back then, especially if it was a thrift store. Man even as a kid I could get so much stuff with $5 at a thrift store, I think I literally got a PC and a DVD player for like $10. Nobody was trying to maximize profit on every thing cause more was on the way.

Hasbrown at McDonald’s were .80¢, they are now $2.70. That $20 was more like $67.50 in actual purchase power.

Vacuum sealer.

They are always available used at thrift stores and they are simple machines but I can reseal bags of chips or other grocery items.

You can make your own bags for cheap from a roll and then individually wrap portions for the freezer that stay longer and don’t get freezer burn.

And if you get one that has a hose attachment you can seal bottles of wine, mead, or Tupperware for the fridge if you get the right lids.

There is no way you got that for $20. I keep meaning to get one since I love my wool coat I got at a thrift store but they are never that cheap.

Also very good for making hot chocolate.

I just had to convince someone the real game of tapping people and running around the circle to grab their seat is called: Duck, Duck, Grey Duck

And they straight up wouldn’t believe me. Who cares if it’s only the Minnesotans that say that. So do some Swedes!

This is the kind of fun jank and efficiency I love that you can’t get in whole open world maps. This is they made the map match the game they want the player to experience and not the game that fits on that specific open map.

People of Lemmy don’t know what civility means.

Hold some restraint maybe in assuming you know everything.

Yeah, that’s my go to for first aid. I actually Cary around saline solution though in my first aid kit for sterility and you just spray it on as needed to wash debris and particulates. People are already in enough pain don’t need to burst cell walls that survived as well.

Then it’s a out bandaging and replacing and cleaning the area as needed. I’m a big fan of the newer hydrocolloid bandages, even though you don’t heal faster it’s far more consistent and the whole surface being sticky and absorbing means it can hold more fluid and cover odd size wounds.

$1,000 early bird special is not exactly budget but at the print volume and speed I do get it being more budget friendly than others in that realm.

Oh. Neat.

Thanks for the Wikipedia link

Ah dang you did point it out. They even just copied the top comment there, unless they are ColdWetDog.
