This subject is very clearly a sore point for you. It might behove you to figure out why that is, rather than spontaneously attacking people that are essentially siding with you.

So, pre-release?

As far as I know, on Pixel phones it’s integrated. Discovered that my work phone (Pixel 6) suddenly has it, I’ve never installed it, and I can’t remove it.

Where testicles?

Nomad Sculpt. Great sculpting app, you buy it once and it’s yours.

Then there’s the obvious alternative; blender. Get a tablet that connects with a PC and bam. It doesn’t get much better than blender.

My company has a policy to try to make use of LLMs for work. I’m not a fan. Most of the time I spend explaining the infrastructure and whatnot would be better spent just working, because half the time the model suggests something that flies in the face of what’s needed, or outright suggests changes that we can’t implement.

It’s such a waste of time and resources.

Yeah. When you use raw garlic it can turn a bit fiery. Though even then I enjoy it, it’s more the aftermath that’s the problem.

It is a direct result of structural racism, as it’s a product of the treatment of white men as being the default. You see it all the time in medicine. There are conditions that disproportionately affect black people that we don’t know enough about because time and money hasn’t been spent studying it.

Women face the same problem. Lots of conditions apply differently in women. An example of this being why women historically have been underrepresented in e.g. autism diagnoses. It presents differently so for a while the assumption was made that women just can’t be autistic.

I don’t think necessarily that people who perpetuate this problem are doing so out of malice, they probably don’t think of women/black people as lesser (hell, many probably are women and/or black), but it doesn’t change the fact that structural problems requires awareness and conscious effort to correct.

Wow. You actually posted that. How embarrassing for you.

I love dogs!

No idea who they are but I’m hoping they’re enjoying their new life in India.

Aww that’s awesome. It still shocks me just how marginalised the Romani are everywhere, and how quietly it’s just being brushed aside.

I’m curious, what exactly makes Bazzite a gaming-focused distribution? Like, it comes with Steam preloaded, I’m guessing, are there other aspects to it? I used to distro-hop a bit back in the late 00s, and while it was fun to see what the different distributions bundled and whatnot, it never felt like something was particularly suited for one thing or another.

I’m now on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, and it’s just… Linux, I guess? I play games on it, VR, what have you, and it does what I want it to.

What I hate most about this is the lack of control over this it implies. Sure, maybe you don’t install this on your device, but all that’s needed for Google to access your messages now is for someone you message to have it installed and enabled, then anything you send to them will be gobbled up by Google.

Wanting full control over the sick is also some Mother Teresa evil shit. It’s bad enough that life-saving medication is gate-kept by patents and pharmaceutical companies thriving on suffering (oh look, there she is again) but now people that suffer should give up access to what makes them them, their entire personhood, to some tech-bro ingrate? Is that truly the best option?

I’d rather die.

This is so funny. It fails miserably and they’re all “yeah so this is promising.”

Sure, a world where your manager hallucinates meetings with you and assesses you poorly for not performing according to plans that were hallucinated through said meetings sounds like a fantastic idea.

Jag skrattade.

Hoping this sets a precedent for the same kind of regulation about non-Chinese corporations. Otherwise it just comes across as sinophobic grandstanding and not actually about protecting the privacy of the end-user.

Ah yes, like Apple does. This makes sense.

Didn’t think I’d be excited about something Microsoft is doing, but this sounds great!
