Yep, I did it earlier today. Took about half an hour to set up, download and convert 75 books and comics

I see their “fuck your feelings” bumper stickers and think, man you worship a freak who shatters at the slightest criticism

Yes! Welcome to the fediverse

I usually try a new restaurant alone before taking people there. Lean into it!

The ultimate useful idiot

I’ve started only reacting to the latest shit he does if it isn’t blocked by a court order within 5 days

Or I ask to go to Costco, and where Assistant previously would route me to the nearest one, Gemini sends me to one 80 miles away

Fortunately, at the farmers market, you can usually look up the farmer. Eg, visit once or twice just observing, seeing who gets visited by regulars, Google the farm name to look up details and reviews, etc

It is depressing, but I try not to forget we are seeing a sort of survivorship bias of stupidity on the former Twitter at this point. The cohort of remaining posting accounts is dumber and dumber on average. And this dynamic is magnified in the replies, because they are paid blue accounts at the top. Eg, self-selected losers. (The top account has likely just hidden their checkmark)

Edit: PS, are you still using Nitter? I thought it had died?

Many supermarkets are enshittifying/rent seeking too though

And drink verification can

Yes, this is the problem. Not much choice, and most of the corporate ones are moving to various shitty practices. Oddly enough, many of the big corporate chains are now closing locations en masse, such as Rite Aid

Some stores have started requiring the app to get your prescription. Happened to me. They actually made me install the app before they would fill my Rx. I stopped using that store and went to another neighborhood.

This is interesting timing! I was considering trading in my Pebble Time, since Samsung was running one of their “trade in any smartwatch, any condition” deals. But I couldn’t do it. I found myself reconnecting the watch and setting it up to connect to the third party Rebble servers and putting apps on it like the old days. It’s remarkable how well this device aged, and its interface is still so much more fun and endearing than anything WearOS can offer. So I wish them the best!

Yeah, the article discusses it. It was unique here, though, that everyday Subaru employees have a way to see at least a year of location history for all customers, with no restrictions

Andy Greenberg is a great security journalist and Wired is not a rag. It’s a legendary technology magazine with a lot of great coverage. Journalists deserve to get paid. The article has a lot of broader context and interviews with the security researchers, Subaru and other experts. Plus, it’s not even a hard paywall. Delete your cookies or find one of the myriad other ways to read it such as the link above. Or don’t. Your loss

They want a raise. I expect they also want more headcount. Go to a Costco warehouse in a major city and it’s absolutely wild how overrun they are. People are buying from Costco because buying in bulk is the only way to make it with current food prices.

It’s just another mask he wears, and I think even the gullible trumpers aren’t really buying it (yet)

It’s my right to say it’s shitty behavior and I look down on it
