Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto

It also can’t read labels on gmaps. Can’t read people’s “nickname” field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can’t access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).

Those are the three things I use AA for, and it’s objectively worse at every single one of them.

I think you’re projecting a little. People act like this no matter the field. We swim in the tech pool, so we mostly only see the shit floating in our pool.

I can assure you the neighbour’s pool also has their fair share of floaters.

Any type of bread following the same standard will fit into a standard toaster.

is how it should be done

No it isn’t.

The whole point of partitions is so you can have multiple things on the same drive. Be them data, swap, or… yes, operating systems.

“implementing things in non-standard ways”, have been their modus operandi for about 3 decades now

RAM prices exploding only means Apple takes a tiny hit to their profit margin per device, considering how inflated they were in the first place.

Not just folders, every icon has 4-way configurable swipe. I’ve gone a little swipe crazy now. Who needs folders when you can launch 5 different things by swiping a single icon…

You mean being able to find whatever I need without clicking through 5 links?

I knew who it would be before opening the video. His whole thing is about making strange - and very often, unsafe - musical instruments. One of his early videos was replacing piano hammers with actual hammers.

His spinning guitar is actually super cool though!

They’ve fixed Truecrypt vulnerabilities uncovered by previous audits, and have themselves been audited at least twice

You know how people used to put pictures of their loved ones in a locket, or in their wallets, or as a background pic on their phones? That’s what they were supposed to be. (As told by a catholic friend)

I can accept that. I have one of my kids in the car cause I used to drive like a maniac. It’s a constant reminder of the kind of person I should be while driving.

But of course, people will be people, ignoring what they’re told and doing whatever the hell they like… “This statue cried blood, let’s pray to it!” (and ignore the leaking toilet upstairs)

Grew up watching news of Palestinians and Israelis killing each other. Good thing that was 40 years ago.

but how

I know this sounds cliche as, but I just try to fix it one smile at a time.

Mum used to tell me this story and it has stuck with me for more than forty years.

Two kids were walking at the beach when they saw thousands of beached fish, gasping for their lives. So one kid picked up a fish and threw it back in the water. The friend said, “there’s thousands of them, you’re not making a difference!”. “Well, I did for that one”.

Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here’s everyone that upvoted this thread.

Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.
