If i see somebody followed me an they're following over 300 people... I'm thinking, bot, or scammer
No I don't wanna turn on notifications

No I don't want to give you access to my location

No you don't need access to my contact list

No I don't want you to have access to my camera

This nonsense is why I don't like apps to do things i didn't need an app to do in the "before times"

Yeah, no duh

Tho anymore I've started to use duck duck go's search engine
The CEO of Google admits that Google search provides more accurate information that the company’s AI.

He acknowledges that Google search is "more grounded in providing accurate information."

Still the best moment in Fight Club

I think about it any time I want to post a "clever" response to somebody's post

An then think better of it.

Sincerity > Clever

Dreams were brutal.

Two people kicked the crap out of me. shot me, and assumed i was dead (i was not, i came back and gunned them down)

Then I spend the rest of the dream recovering and then falling into some weird Dark Tower/Gunslinger world

Note to self, avoid pecans before bed

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

TL;DW: the unregulated data center boom employs very few people, consumes a lot of resources, and enriches just a select few.

Out of Office should be way easier then it is in Outlook/Teams

Should just be a button on the toolbar, you hit it, put in the time frame, auto reply message an can put invites in it to notify team you're gonna be out on the calendar

Right now it's two separate things you gotta do

Is there a modern day equivalent of Paul Harvey on the radio nowadays?

Somebody that sucks you in with stories about this and that, connecting them to history

I know SQL pretty well at this point but maybe this will give me some extra tips

WOOF
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
