Note how they literally have a special exception

I wager some people want "dumbphones". A phone you open and just dial into without scrolling through apps. A phone with a simple screen that doesn't just gobble down battery life. So, like, a smartphone could fit this need with the right interfaces available.

eronth ,

I get what you're saying, but leaf blowers are also commonly used for cleaning up extra grass clippings from the roads, etc.

eronth ,

I'd go back if the pay bump was enough to cover anxiety about job uncertainty

eronth ,

Is electric pricey where you are? It's been a while since I calculated, but last I checked, electric was cheaper in my area than gas for most of the electric vehicles.

eronth ,

It doesn't grind anything basically the same way a treadmill doesn't sand anything. You're not forcing anything to stay put on the surface, you're maneuvering on the surface while the surface is counter-moving you.

eronth ,

You came up with the idea of a multi-directional treadmill, or came up with the implementation using spinning/tilting disks?

eronth ,

Hey, every now and then kids have amazing ideas that get shot down by adults with no imagination.

eronth ,

I suspect a lot of the influencer numbers are pretty inflated.

eronth ,

It feels like a weird study. I can't tell if the study, or just the article, was trying to make GenZ look like fools yet again, when the actual results found are "GenZ is like a lot of other people in yet another way".

eronth ,

I wager they're so used to getting away with shit that destroying evidence probably says less about the crimes committed and more about the piss-poor justice system.

eronth ,

Win 11 has a bunch of new small frustrations without anything crazy good that makes me want to recommend it over 10. It's... Just really unclear what benefits I'm actually getting from 11.

eronth ,

I've had similar experiences. Never posted questions myself, but I'll be Googling for help and find forum posts that are as toxic as you describe.

It's been bad enough that the Linux elitism on Lemmy leaves a bad taste, even if I haven't seen as much of the toxic parts here. I know I'm not the only person of my friends group that feels this way about Lemmy's Linux crowd.

eronth ,

Yeah, but I want a combo that force starts the feature. I want to pull out my phone and be able to blind start it, not stare at my screen to select the correct thing.

eronth ,

Yeah, I've noticed that a bit lately anyways. Maybe I'm looking up stuff that has less of a community on Reddit, and thus has less discussion, but I have absolutely noticed some comments have a single product name-drop with little clarity for why they liked the product. It starts to feel like they're just ads (generated or otherwise) meant to trick you into thinking Reddit users are liking the product.

AI is going to just make it worse, and cause Reddit to not be a good goto for actual reviews and discussion on pros/cons.

eronth ,

Yeah, of all the things google has done, rewrite "don't be evil" is really not one of them. Didn't their parent company also pick up the motto as well?

eronth ,

For sure. I no longer buy into new Google products because they're going to die. It also makes it hard to recommend anything Google. They're literally killing their ability to expand by constantly doing this.

eronth ,

Oh thank god, I'll be able to avoid seeing it by just not paying.

eronth ,

Super weird. I remember opting out of arbitration with them years ago... Like, 5+ years ago. Seems funky that they could just require me to opt out again.

eronth ,

How do you get started with home assistant in a reasonable way? I've been wanting to make that conversion, but it seems like such a huge project or undertaking just to get it first set up.

eronth ,

I do have an Raspberry Pi that's running my foundry server, but a pre installed Device sounds promising.

eronth ,

I mean, make enough attacks and you're bound to make a ton of 20s in there.

Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in (www.engadget.com)

If you're in the US, you might see a new shaded section at the top of your Google Search results with a summary answering your inquiry, along with links for more information. That section, generated by Google's generative AI technology, used to appear only if you've opted into the Search Generative Experience(SGE) in the Search...

eronth ,

Lol. The generated result that is incomplete and slower than the rest of the search. I usually scroll past it because it's not done generating. If it does generate fast enough, it's usually too vague or broad

eronth ,

They must have an insane definition of power user, because I got one too and I'm absolutely not a power user. Maybe longtime active users got the email as well?

eronth ,

And yet

eronth ,

It's a gimmick to give the law a recognizable name, usually related to the content of the law itself. It's caught on here and just kinda stuck.

eronth ,

Oh for sure. Especially with how many laws effectively get a name opposite of what they actually do. People read the name and vote based on that, without actually Knowing what the law does.

eronth ,

Literally the debate is happening because games and media have vanished... including Ubisoft games!
