IngeniousRocks (They/She)

When my grandmother tried to tell me she didn’t understand computers we got her an iPad. She tried to tell us that was too hard too and I reminded her “you’re not an idiot grandma, babies who can’t read yet figure there things out”

She figured it out, just needed a kick in the pants about the defeatism.

This is the second time this unholy gif has come accross my feed this week and I just wanna say thanks for the opportunity to deep clean my eyeballs this evening.

You should really watch that video. It addresses that point exactly. In short, they mostly aren’t, that isn’t the problem.

Hey friend you know the chemicals they make those things from are like WILDLY carconogenic right? And that PFAs and their cousins last forever and don’t break down in the environment?

These chemicals are being banned because humans got too good at making super stable fuck-you-big molecules that just so happen to be wildly incompatible with anything that has DNA. These chemicals are literally everywhere with water treatment facilities having acceptable limits 2ppb or less. Yea, B, Billon. The thing with that amount though, is even THAT isn’t safe, its just regulable. Here’s an oversimplified video on the subject by Veritasium, the clickbait headline is just that. I believe this is also on nebula if you’d prefer to avoid youtube.

But my opsec!

Thank you!!

I live in a smallish town with decent public transport in the US. Free, highly reliable busses that go to nearly every part of town and a couple of the connected suburbs as well. The locals hate it, I guess they’re still mad it messed up traffic? Idk I just tell them if they hate the traffic so much use the free bus that is supposedly making their life so much harder.

This is abnormal in the US, having decent public transport. Its basically only available in MAJOR metro areas like NYC, LA, Seattle, Chicago. Most of the country barely has functional public transport, let alone reliable.

Settings>Apps>See All>Select the context menu at the top right of the screen>Show System Apps

Then search for Assistant, Bard, Gemini and AI. Depending on your device it might be reskinned or stuffed into a different app that has been updated (Google Assistant for example at one point could be configured into a Gemini frontend)

Have you checked in your system apps for Gemini or Bard? I have it disabled but the apk is still on my device under the “bard” name.

Trick question, the link is a plain blue hyoerlink near the bottom of the page you haven’t scrolled to yet

I think they tried to do that with the new one. The D Rex (are we still adding rex where it doesn’t belong?) was clearly modelled after the xenomorph.

I wanna be clear they failed. I haven’t been this disappointed in a movie since I saw TLJ for the first time

I had this issue when I had my filesystem on an sdcard. Turns out they turn off after sleep and don’t wake back up automatically.

I never recommend having a sober trip sitter, just an experienced tripper on the same journey. Sober trip sitters in my experience have a tendency to harsh the vibe and make me way more likely to have a bad trip.

Discs**

Disks continue to be the most efficient way to store bonkers amounts of data.

Disks refers to magnetic storage or solid state flash storage.

Discs refers to optical media.

While optical is still king for physical distribution of media to the masses due to its low cost of production, the rise of streaming will certainly be the thing that rips physical ownership from the hands of the people.

Dont stop buying DVDs or Blurays

I don’t mean to naysay but this isn’t reduced civil rights people are fleeing. The US is building concentration camps and has recently approved expanding their budget for ICE (originally immigration enforcement, now a gestapo analogue) such that it is larger than most world militaries.

This is naziism people are fleeing. This is death camps people are fleeing.

Thank 🫡💛

Ok so I normally don’t post AI slop but a while back I was selfhosting an image generation model and a friends and I were fucking around trying to make super high quality furry porn (I promise this is SFW) and ended up with basically the dude in this meme on a horse treking through the desert and he was so handsome. Anyway I wanted to share the image so I’m gonna go dig it out of my harddrive.

Sorry anyone reading this before I’ve edited the comment, I needed a placeholder or I’d forget what I was doing 😅

Edit: I found it in a photo I took with my phone

Ugh just look at that handsome man!

Anyway sorry for clogging up the feed with nonsense the meme made me wanna share. Please don’t hate me kthxbaiiii

The will repair it with flex seal of course

Note to self - automotive mechanics may be lemurs, High voltage electricians certainly are
