16·19 days agoSycophantic, but also “lawsuit avoidant”.
I was released from the hospital following surgery last month and I had a bleeding “event”. I use the word “event” because it sounds more festive.
Shortly after that, I went to the bathroom, the bleeding seemed to have stopped.
Just for fun, I thought I’d ask ChatGPT what it thought, telling it the nature of the surgery, the bleeding event, the non-bleeding event, and asking it “So… best of three?”
And it went HARD on “this is not a best of three scenario! Call 9-1-1! Do it now! You could pass out! Call 9-1-1!”
I did not call 9-1-1. The bleeding did not resume, I’m fine.
141·20 days agoSee that’s the thing, I’m not generally opposed to NSFW content, just certain categories aren’t my thing.
I remember my first trip to “All” going “Wow, that’s a lot of furry porn, anime porn, and furry anime porn…”
Then, just when I blocked all the requisite communities, someone started setting up dozens of AI porn communities… (sigh)
Cats are obligate carnivores. They can’t NOT eat meat of some kind.
If you don’t comprehend this or do but aren’t comfortable with it, then you should not have a cat.

“Some carnivores, particularly cats (family Felidae), are obligate carnivores, meaning they cannot obtain all the nutrients that they need from the plant kingdom and bacteria. In particular, obligate carnivores lack the enzyme needed to split carotene, obtained from plants, into vitamin A. Instead, these animals obtain vitamin A from the liver of their prey. Obligate carnivores are similarly unable to synthesize some essential very-long-chain, highly unsaturated fatty acids that other animals can make from shorter fatty acids found in plants.”
As someone who did 10 years in retail, this is the normal state of any display after being open to the general public for 20 minutes.
And HAVE been…
Speaking as someone on the inside of this right now… Indian subcontractors + AI. They think it can be done cheaper that way.
Meanwhile our 2026 roadmap is blown up because they let go of everyone who actually knew anything. 🙄
Coins #2 and 3 are too large and need to be moved farther down and now I can’t unsee that.
But you know what’s WORSE?
Mismatched book spines.
If you’re buying any Apple product on specs, it’s not for you. 😉
As someone who had an iPod Touch and a Gen 1 iPad ganked by OS updates, I have serious doubts about that.
$599 here, but I also live in a state with no sales tax.
But that’s the 256GB version. 512 is $699.
Of course I have 24TB free on my NAS soooo…
Still not spending $600 on an Apple branded Chromebook.

Yeah, yeah, fanboys are going to go “A18 Pro” vs “AMD Ryzen™ 3 7320U with Radeon™ 610M”
But on the other hand, 15.6" display vs. 13", 120hz vs 60hz, 512gb storage standard vs 256. 65w charger vs. 20w.
Goose it to the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7520U with Radeon™ 610M and it’s still $570.
Prediction - eWaste in less than 2 years. It will only live through 1, maybe 2 OS updates.
I think what PRS is stating is that Valve needs a license for the music to even display the game in their store, which is utter nonsense.
They aren’t claiming the games are infringing, if that were the case with something like Forza, they would go after the game publisher.
It looks like they are trying to say Valve is infringing by having the games in their store.
One question:
"On your first computer, how did you open a program?
Load “*”,8,1 ✅
program.exe ✅
Double click the icon ✅
“Program? Is that like an app?” ❌
Wasn’t that also the name of a Microsoft Surface device? 🤔
Weird, I recently bought that same phone and did not have that problem. Why?
“Do you want to transfer your files from another device?”
No.
Just no. I don’t need your help, I can do this myself. Previous phone is backed up to my NAS, I can restore what I want from there.
I see a new phone as an opportunity to leave stuff behind. It’s on the NAS if I REALLY need it.
It’s definitely a shitty hardware thing.
“Now updating, please wait!”
I mean, technically not “down” but not exactly usable either. 😉
Normal post surgical stuff after, you know, getting gutted like a fish. 😉 Stage 2 colon cancer surgery.
