2. While also exponentially increasing the amount of good people becoming more aware of how broken parts of society are.

Let’s hope good people continue to do good things in every way they are able.

Thank you everyone trying to make things better.

Just wanted to say thank you for writing this. Very cool take, that was so well written to get us on board for how and why “that old junk” has personality that is being lost.

Damn.

Doubt it’s not covered in EULA. Probably has something like

Company reserves the right to cancel your account for any reason, or without reason…

Does route calculation happen on device or on Google servers? Is it cheaper for Google to not show alternate routes?

That movie couldve been so much more…

Comments like this are just the definition of irony…

I also had screen tearing issues immediately on startup into the mint installer. Had to run the installer in safe mode to get mint going. Once mint was fully installed and rebooted to my desktop for the first time, had the same screen issues as I did with the installer not in safe mode. So mint only worked during install and only in safe mode.

Maybe our issues are similar (I’m Nvidia 1080 card), but I was never able to fix mine.

Some good ideas here. Probably go with a word limit in your last bullet instead of the 5 minutes

We have a store called Best Buy.

It’s just so exhausting, right? Im with you 100% on this.

Suppose we survive Trump, 60-40 ish. Who comes next? Is every future election going to be a fight to keep democracy?

How’s that strategy working out for you? For us?

Unfortunately “don’t give them money” doesn’t work. Bc commerce is global due to internet. There will always be uninformed buyers in every product space. And always buyers who don’t care.

My solution, posts like this. We should be informing others of these practices and discussing ways to bypass, repair, or disable blocks and unintended behavior on the products and services we purchase.

The world is vastly more complex than it ever was before. I get it feels useless, but learning anything makes us smarter.

Being smarter means we will handle situations intelligently. There is no useless learning.

I was mostly curious those that want to abolish it what their alternative solution is.

Under popular vote, DeSantis is still running and maybe now he gets 63 billion votes from Florida alone. The impact of this fraud (there are not 63 billion ppl voting in Florida) is bigger with no electoral college.

Other countries don’t have EC bc other counties don’t have our state and government structure.

Yall do you. I’m not very political anyway.

Abolish electoral college is not the answer to these issues. Unless you have a new idea in mind. Electoral college is better than using popular vote. It helps prevent fraud from any one particular state.

It feels like none of the replies to you actually read your comment. I appreciate you taking the time to offer up possible explanations with examples. Thank you!

About a month ago i asked gpt to draw ascii art of a butterfly. This was before the google poem story broke. The response was a simple

But i was imagining ascii art in glorious bbs days of the 90s. So, i asked it to draw a more complex butterfly.

The second attempt gpt drew the top half of a complex butterfly perfectly as i imagined. But as it was drawing the torso, it just kept drawing, and drawing. Like a minute straight it was drawing torso. The longest torso ever… with no end in sight.

I felt a little funny letting it go on like that, so i pressed the stop button as it seemed irresponsible to just let it keep going.

I wonder what information that butterfly might’ve ended on if i let it continue…

And circus!

Uhh, we have an embargo on being attacked by Cuba though.

Ooof. Jumping in to say im currently on an s9 that is dying and was thinking of going to the 23. Didnt even consider the notification light til seeing your post and some comments here.

There is an app (not mine) called aodnotify that only turns on the always on display under certain circumstances. Customizable kinda like different light colors were. This might help? I use it on my s9 but have no clue if its updated or compatible with newer phones.

Wow, there’s a lot of cool writing going on there. Im not a comic book nerd, but gotta say I do wish they could do one comic movie with this level of depth and character development.

But I guess this is a case of the book is always better.
