They’ll get rid of it.

A gun? In this country? It’s got more rights than most of us.

Lol, could’ve been bad. I hate the new UI.

If you swipe down on the notifs twice, you can edit them to be similar to the previous style.

On topic of your post, fuuuuck everything about their forcing AI, but my biggest gripe is how they moved the audio display (from, like, Spotify or audiobook readers/podcast apps) to the bottom of the lock screen as a tiny bar on the bottom instead of showing me all the info as it did before. It’s super annoying when I swipe to unlock and pause what I’m listening to.

Well, it worked tho! Lol

Oh, and I agree. I understand that. It’s also the first film to piss me off, in my formative years.

Still fkn hate it! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Agreed. Still hate it.

I’m not your buddy, pal! (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠）⁠╯

(⁠ﾉﾟ⁠0ﾟ⁠)⁠ﾉ Oh no! A ghost!

I said what I said! ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

I respect it, appreciate it even. But my God, I hate that film.

Oh valid, my bad. I saw it in passing when I googled him and put two and two together to make eight lol

Hmm, I did some quick googles. Wiki didn’t have much on his finances, just his work. But from few sites, it seems he definitely was blacklisted but made a return throughout the 70s and 80s but nothing big took off and he still ended up broke doing commercials because he lived too loud with his money. So it seems it started with being blacklisted but he also was spending too much money? I dunno. I’d have to read more, but sounds about right from what I remember of a film appreciation course I took a decade ago that started with fkn citizen cane.

At least you had the common courtesy not to comment with the panic (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

Thank you thank you! I panic commented because it was driving me nuts. Then realized I could Google old man wine commercial and got the answer.

But I appreciate you! Thank you!

That guy is someone famous and lost all his money so he did ads, right? I cannot remember his name and it’s driving me insane. I think he like… Directed films? If I recall correctly, he was a bit of an ass.

I cannot remember his name. 😭

Edit: I googled old man wine commercial.

It’s Orson Welles. The author of War of the Worlds and I think Citizen Cane. Itch scratched!

Side note, citizen cane is awful. I don’t care that it’s said to be top cinema. I hate that boring waste of 3hrs.

Our current ‘AI’ is not AI. It is not.

It is a corporate entity to shirk labor costs and lie to the public.

It is an algorithm designed to lie and the shills who made it are soulless liars, too.

It only exists for corporations and people to cut corners and think they did it right because of the lies.

And again, it is NOT artificial intelligence by the standard I hold to myself.

And it pisses me off to no fucking end.

I personally would love an AI personal assistant that wasn’t tied to a corporation listening to every fkin thing I say or do. I would absolutely love it.

I’m a huge Sci-Fi fan, so sure I fear it to a degree. But, if I’m being honest, AI would be amazing if it could analyze how I learned math wrong as a kid and provide ways to fix it. It would be amazing if it could help me routinely create schedules for exercise and food and grocery lists with steps to cook and how all of those combine to effect my body. It would be fantastic if it could point me to novels and have a critical debate about the inner works with a setting of being a contrarian or not so I can seek to deeply understand the novels.

It sounds like what our current state of AI has right? No. The current state is a lying machine. It cannot have critical thought. Sure, it can give me a schedule of food/exercise, but it might tell me I need to lift 400lbs and eat a thousand turkeys to meet a goal of being 0.02grams heavy. It might tell me 5+7 equals 547,032.

It doesn’t know what the fuck it’s talking about!

Like, ultimately, I want a machine friend who pushes me to better myself and helps me understand my own shortcomings.

I don’t want a lying brick bullshit machine that gives me all the answers but they are all wrong because it’s just a guesswork framework full of ‘whats the next best word?’

Edit: and don’t even get me fucking started on the shady practices of stealing art. Those bastards trained it on people’s hard work and are selling it as their own. And it can’t even do it right, yet people are still buying it and using it at every turn. I don’t want to see another shitty doodle with 8 fingers and overly contrasted bullshit in an ad or in a video game. I don’t want to ever hear that fucking computer voice on YouTube again. I stopped using shortform videos because of how fucking annoying that voice is. It’s low effort nonsense and infuriates the hell out of me.

Truth!

16 if I’m cold, 17 if I’m warm, 20 if I just got out the shower right before bed. If I shower and stay up reading or such, back to 16/17. Tits out for harambe, 100%.

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the heads up!

Would the Google pixel not retain some line to Google? I’ve been leaning more and more towards getting away from Google and Microsoft. With Linux, I’m scared I’ll have an unsecure system just by virtue of not knowing dick about Linux except the little coding I’ve taken courses on that barely scratched it.

Only reason I got Samsung was the cameras on the S22 or 24 or whatever it is I have. Pixel has good cameras, I’ve heard, but it’s entirely Google. Does putting Ubuntu remove all that…?

Sorry if not the place to ask.
