Silly gooners

Fun anecdote - yesterday my new phone overheard me say something about rescheduling a vacation day. It then proceeded to add a “Vacation” booking on a completely random day.

Naturally I asked it what the fuck it was doing, and demanded it remove its permissions to edit my calendar. It quickly apologized, then assured me it had removed its capability to edit my calendar. I told it to not lie to my fucking face, realizing it could not in fact update its own permissions. It apologized again, presumably for being a pathological liar / asshole.

Then I disabled Gemini on my phone, and won’t be using it again. Thanks google!

Hmmmmmm…

Seems like a solid first comment for a 2 year old account I guess

Thanks for inspiring me to search around GitHub - I managed to successfully resume from suspend after an hour or so (still doesn’t work in Wayland, but I’m making progress i guess).

Next up is addressing the weird horizontal tearing in all my games!

I am more willing to learn things than the average user I’d say - I work in IT and answer incredibly stupid questions more or less daily. Also, im not a shell expert, but I definitely know my way around bash/zsh/cmd/PS, given the system. I have also been using Linux on and off for around 15 years as well - I had things work well in the past.

I’m guessing my custom built PC might be making things harder. The Nvidia card probably doesn’t help, but I feel like my MOBO is probably responsible for my sleep issues. Maybe I just need to try Pop again, I’m currently running NixOS which is my favourite OS in theory, but in practice configuration is a brute force guessing game.

Correct. But I’ve heard tons of people say Nvidia support is fine now, and that amd is still problematic. I have also tried Pop OS

I wish I could experience this pain free Linux I keep hearing about on this website. Programs constantly stutter and glitch out, and if the computer goes to sleep while running my Linux partition it absolutely will not wake up again. I know this is a skill issue, but I’ve already spent many hours troubleshooting this… I’ve tried several distros as well. Even the steam compatibility everyone raves about only seems to work for me if I don’t use wayland. I can say with certainty that the average person would be completely unwilling to deal with the experience I have had.

TIL… what a fucking douche

Their new podcast style conspiracy videos are just terrible, he comes across as a complete moron.

They are owned by PayPal, so that seems unlikely

It’s such a stupid feature

That’s a classic Windows update error if I’ve ever seen one!

That would be a no:

I’d assume someone accidentally wrote 23H instead of 22H, and then no one else bothered to check it.

The only person I had blocked on Twitter before I deleted my account was Elon.

I swear I couldn’t be that annoying if I tried.

Honestly amazing to watch. Fuck Elon though, space x can do better

I’m already mad about having to potentially abandon my highly customized Vivaldi should ublock lite not work up to my standards

Sounds like a masturbation injury if I’ve ever heard of one, the mouse is clearly a cover

Will no one think of the onboarding quality?!

Somewhere on my PC I have a several page long rant about how many government websites in Canada require you to pay for an Adobe subscription in order to sign an “official” PDF.

Why the hell isn’t there a better option for filling out legally required, government mandated forms than giving a private corporation money? This bothers me so fucking much.

I was feeling bad for his ex right up until this gem:

”Then he took me to a bookstore and handed me his credit card. “Buy as many books as you want,” he said. No man could have said anything sweeter.”
