Bragging that you keep a version of the app around that allows you to fly your drone in areas that puts other people’s lives in danger is not the gotcha moment you think it is.

Shareholders probably weren’t happy that Apple is taking a cautious, more modest approach to AI and instead wants them to dump quadrillions into it instead like every other tech company.

Sarcastic hyperbole aside, I’m interested what this iPhone SE refresh looks like.

Finally, something to listen to while I huff the fumes.

Apple really needs to step up with bugfixes for iOS and MacOS instead of pushing rushed yearly upgrades.

Where did I say I was rolling over and giving up? I just said I have no attachment to my country and that it can go fuck itself.

I vote. I write to my MPs and MLAs. I support local businesses. I use alternative transportation when possible. I help educate my family and friends and what options they can take.

Could I be doing more? Absolutely. But being unhappy with the status quo doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything. Don’t put words in my mouth.

I’ve never been one for feeling pride in my country, but the fact we’re all being bled dry by inflated costs of living and greedy, government-sanctioned monopolies isn’t helping these statistics. So, yeah, fuck this shit hole of a country.

Ex-retail worker here that spent a lot of time in aisles, counting inventory, etc.

Steal whatever you want; I don’t care. Not my job to look after that shit and I wasn’t paid enough for it anyway.

No thanks; I’m good. Still feeling the sting over buying my 4080 Super last spring. Also it’s doing me just fine for my work and for games.

Just don’t send them in under warranty.

I visit some fast food chains but I avoid Burger King at all costs. Some of the worst burgers I have ever seen and eaten in my entire life have come from that dump.

Prices are getting out of hand, though. Fast Food is quickly reaching price parity with actual quality restaurants which is insane.

I’ve voted “No” to that on a few “Great on Deck” games before. Valve is way too lenient on what they consider “great” on the Deck.

I barely use any these days.

I prefer to live special moments with my own eyes instead of staring at a phone screen the entire time.

At first they were really cool and seemingly had unlimited potential with a wild and unknown future as numerous brands competed intensely with their own take on the formula.

These days, they are ultra expensive glass rectangles that exist to serve you endless ads and harvest every piece of info about every facet of your life. You also have to pay enormous subscription fees to get half the functionality they used to have. I just got an iPhone on a deep discount from my carrier and I stopped giving a shit about phone tech. Processor speed, camera specs, “AI”, whatever. It’s all trash to me now and the technology doesn’t excite me in the slightest. Carriers and manufacturers have choked all the life and enjoyment out of smart phones.

Parmesan cheese shaker.

I did grocery retail for about 4 years. We had some less-than-great customers but honestly the worst part was dealing with corporate. Upper management and corporate decisions is what truly made daily work much more difficult. The store manager that was there when I was hired was really good and good to her staff, but corporate didn’t like that she ran some expenses for customer and employee benefit so they “relocated” her. The replacement manager was one of those “fixer” types and he so godawful that I walked off the job. Left my badge on my department desk in the office and went home. Because they had been cutting back hours and hires, my entire department folded after I left. My supervisor got reassigned and some of the other part-timers left.

My rules are: Minimum 2 locks. All valuables or critical components removed from bike. If it’s an ebike that means removing the battery and control unit if possible.

And this is why any attempt to “fight” affordability that doesn’t include plans to kneecap corporations is effectively useless and a waste of time.

Good on them! Hell yeah.

Hey, zombies need homes too :D
