So the AI chat bot will still be there, openly talking to one another, but we’re gonna pretend that it’s OK here. My question is, is there any use for people on this platform?

I remember Elon foolishly saying his cars don’t need radar or lidar. Even software-disabling radar in cars that already had the hardware.

I’ll take him seriously if & when OpenAI lives up to its name.

Medium is a shit hole. I won’t click any links to it.

Lemmy won’t.

I mean all the plug-ins should work

“Blonde” was one of their early attempts at this. They know when the story is losing you so then they have a few minutes of Ana De Armas topless, fapping, etc to get your attention back.

Own your notifications or they will surely own you.

My favorite sites for actual ebooks are Humble Bundle and Fantastic. But these are predominantly tech books. No idea where I’d get good fiction in epub today.

Addendum: that specific site is dog shit. Imagine thinking you just bought an ebook but instead you bought a lease to some DRM shit that only works on their app.

EPUB or GTFO.

I hear you saying that, but the books I want to buy are never on those sites.

Other fediverse platforms have had it for awhile. Not sure why so many feel so stuck with Mastodon. There are alternatives.

Why do young people pop into a community that has been around for decades and wonder why the old people who built it are still around?

I’m looking forward to after all this mess is over, all of the felony charges that he’s going to get hit with just for what he’s been up to the past few weeks.

.us is often fun.

Zigbee/Z-Wave/Thread are all meant for sensors. WiFi not so much. It’s easier to host more sensors on the purpose-built network types. Special consideration for Z-Wave since it uses different frequency than WiFi, which the others do not.

WiFi and batteries don’t really go together, which also puts a real limit on what you can do there.

I’ve been buying Apple stuff since they were paying Woz to solder. All of this boot licking they’ve been doing is really killing my life-long love of this company.

But Google doesn’t offer a very compelling safe harbor to migrate to with Android, do they?

I guess I’ve just experienced too many times the pain of a sqlite database getting corrupted.
