My cat has only one emotion: not giving a damn about me

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

My cat is actually hostile towards others, he bites people a lot. He just doesn't care about me.

Completely different behavior.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Of course they don't give a damn about me, because they don't know me. My cat sees me all the time.

Completely different behavior. (I already said this exact sentence in another reply with that exact punctuation)

That explains why my friend's Xbox got stolen. It was an original Xbox, too. Holds eggs perfectly.

Oh.

Adobe's Employees Are Just As Upset at the Company As Its Users: Report (petapixel.com)

Adobe’s employees are typically of the same opinion of the company as its users, having internally already expressed concern that AI could kill the jobs of their customers. That continued this week in internal discussions, where exasperated employees implored leadership to not let it be the “evil” company customers think...

You know how fucked up your company is when even your employees are mad at you.

No wonder why everyone hates corporate things.

Hell, the only other messaging app that supports RCS is Samsung Messages. And it's not even the default anymore.

Checkmate, Google.

Lynn Conway, leading computer scientist and transgender pioneer, dies at 85 (www.latimes.com)

I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don't think she would have taken much issue with it. This piece is more focused on her work in computer engineering, so I felt it was appropriate to post here.

That's why the prefix "trans-" exists, not just for transgender people, but for other things like transportation, transposition, transition, transformation, Transjordan (sorry, I just HAD to make that joke), it simply means "the other side".

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly.

Of course it's 2013. It's always 2013.

People thought the world was gonna end that year.

It didn't, but everything did turn to shit.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

So, first you organize posts by like count for signed out users, and now you're hiding the like count altogether? Now how are you gonna organize posts now?

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Oh don't worry, everyone is talking to each other. They're just using their phones to do that.

If you acronymize "Apple Intelligence", you will get AI. They were probably just hiding it.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Now let's add these words to the dictionary because everyone will use them.

Duh, I'm kidding, "Apple Intelligence" is a silly name anyway.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

I do hear it quite a lot

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, it has been ongoing since 2013. From Adobe stopping physical sales of Creative Suite, to the Xbox One being announced, to Apple flattening iOS to the point of it looking like ass, the enshittification has started at this point in time. And their excuse was to be "more modern", my ass.

Resol ,

Good for you.

Sometimes I think about those cartoon scenes where a character has a plunger stuck in their face. That's technically more than 0%.

Looks like we just aXed Twitter integration (get it? Because X)

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but I will assume you aren't.

You see, X is the terrible new name for Twitter that we all hate, and so these vidya game companies are removing Twitter integration from their consoles. They're axing the integration (meaning they're killing it with an axe). Axe sounds like X.

Yeah honestly I'm kinda bad at this.

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices (www.theverge.com)

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

So when are they making FaceTime open source too? That's what Steve Jobs said when he first announced it.

Also, FOSS clients for RCS messaging should exist. My only options so far are Google's messaging app, Samsung's weird thing, and if I don't want either, an iPhone. Eh... I'd like more options. Let's just have all messaging applications support open source protocols, including Signal because why not??

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

That's just stupid. Kinda like how they never made FaceTime open-source when it was promised to us when it was first announced.

Wait, I already said this in my initial comment. Damn.

Linux distro pictured: Ubuntu

People might get offended by this since it's also owned by a company.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

I just imported my CDs and online downloads from sources other than the iTunes Store (they were legal, I swear).

Honestly I liked my iPod.

Let me guess, RockBox?

Don't thank me, thank DankPods.

He's gonna do an enshittified distro, just you wait...

Maybe. But it's only really a gateway drug in my opinion.

And now two of the websites I have an overwhelming reliance on are basically facing the threat of potentially disappearing for good. Now I have another thing to donate to.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

The rest of the Internet Archive, you know, the thing that hosts files and public domain things and some software and whatnot.

The first is the Wayback Machine.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

They're technically both owned of the Internet Archive, however one is for browsing old versions of websites, and the other is for general archiving of media.

And both are facing the threat of potentially becoming no more.

@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

And now I'm jealous of everyone who did experience it, because I have never heard of it until news of it shutting down reached my eyes.

It was never popular where I'm from. Not even AIM was well known to us.

I use Arch-imedes btw. (Ngl this should be a new Linux distro)

How am I supposed to know what jcctv.net looked like back in 2011 now?

Thanks a lot, Department of Erasing History. I hate you now.

(And yes, that is indeed a real website... well, it WAS a real website)

2013: everything is flattened to oblivion (thanks, Apple)

2023: a quarter of the internet literally dies

Things are supposed to get better, not worse.

I bet they're all CEOs.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

If you can't fix it, then get rid of it, and don't bring it back until we reach a time when it's good enough to not cause egregious problems (which is never, so basically don't ever think about using your silly Gemini thing in your products ever again)

I miss the olden days of Google

Sarcasm aside, that 1% can feed a family in a developing country, and they have 100 times that.

The corporate greed is absolutely insane.

Alright, Winamp. You can go be forgotten forever now.

An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? (sh.itjust.works)

You're twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You'll be leaving for Grandma's in about a half hour, and she's lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and there is...

Bad Piggies would be pretty fun.
