I’ve worked back and front end, and with a lot of developers, and I don’t think anyone would say they’re the same. Software devs are some of the most pedantic people out there.

And then he’ll call everyone at Boeing a paedophile.

6 months from now it’ll be relaunched, but businesses will only be able to “respond” via AI, and only if they pay for a Gemini subscription. A week later businesses will be posting the insane shit that the AI tells its customers.

I know it’s sometimes informative, but I really hate the popularity of “$x quietly does $y” in headlines.

You want Google to run ads on TV or something? It’s a tiny feature.

Thanks, that was unreadable!

Thanks for taking the time to make your point so clearly. I agree with everything you said there.

Perhaps I had the point wrong when I joined the discussion. :-)

You previously said it’s transphobic “If you’re attracted to someone and then pretend you aren’t simply based on the fact that they’re trans” and I don’t quite agree.

Say, for example, that I, a straight man, am attracted to a woman. After a while I discover that she’s gay. I’m attracted to her, but I may pretend not to be given the situation. That doesn’t make me homophobic, I’m just making a decision based on information.

Edit: just to be clear, I’m happy to have a discussion, but if what I’m saying is causing offense or upsetting you, I’ll stop. I just want it to be clear that I have no intention of “winning” the conversation. :-)

There are millions of things that are relationship dealbreakers for people. I can’t see myself loving another man, that doesn’t make me homophobic, it just makes me straight.

Fucking finally. I got one of those Google Home devices for free a few years ago, stuck it in the kitchen, and set the screensaver to be pictures of me, my wife, our son, or our dog. Every chance it got it picked a photo of me with an ex-girlfriend, which is definitely not what you want in your kitchen.

In the end I just set it to pictures of our son or our dog to be safe, because Google just flat out wouldn’t let me choose people not to see.

I don’t want to delete all the pictures of me with my ex-girlfriends because some of them are the only photos I’ve got from specific places.

They used to have a nice obvious detail page for every app, now I get some small entry, a bunch of other apps that I might also want to install (spoiler, I don’t), and it’s harder to see useful information.

Do they really think I’ve gone to the Play Store to install my bank’s app, but I might also want to install a different bank’s app?

Conscience?

Yeah, Let Me Google That For You.

It only gets complicated when you have dependents? Like a massive percentage of all adults…

Holy cow, I looked up Penny Arcade because of this and it’s still going! I think the last time I read it was next to an xkcd comic in Google Reader.

You can’t see the road in any prior panel, so I don’t know if the path has changed at all, same with the sign, etc.

I don’t get what the point of the comic is. Am I supposed to know something before reading it?

I found Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey to be a little too optimistic to be realistic in the end. I don’t mean that in a bad way, as I thoroughly enjoyed the story, including the ending. I’m just too much of a pessimist. :-)

Let’s also try mandating RTO while we’re at it.
