I’m glad your text was that big I almost couldn’t read it

The clutch powers Lego movie

Just read the reviews on Google and you’ll understand

At least with Google messages, you can still send normal SMS if your RCS chat can’t go through. I think there’s an option for it to automatically resend as SMS if RCS fails, too.

I guess there’s no way of knowing if SMS will eventually drop out of fashion, but it would be good to keep around so it probably will stay around as a back up

Edit: well, I didn’t see the other response say basically what I said, oops

Generally you can pretty accurately estimate the years (and make) of cars, due to the design preferences of the time

A 2003 Toyota Tacoma is very recognizable because of the simple and bubbly design a lot of late 90’s and early 2000’s cars had (coincidentally my least favorite time period of car design)

Of course there’s also just a lot of stuff you pick up by seeing a car you don’t recognize, researching it, and mentally noting the differences for the next time you see one!

“we found your fingerprints on the body”

Yeah I may have reached my hand inside and felt around a little my bad

And this “TWRP” involves listening to Tupperware Remix Party until your device decides to work again, right?

Do you think you’ll get a real life achievement if you can collect them all?

Kidneymon is what I’m calling this concept

Oh yes, finally!

I had already blocked and reported Gemini as spam in the hopes that it would hide the button (spoiler: it didn’t)

If whoever is managing Messages let this go through, maybe it’s a good sign for other apps potentially removing their forced AI chatbots from where they don’t need to be!

I’ve noticed the weird formatting stuff when people try to spoiler mark stuff but it’s not marked at all, what’s the other strange formatting it fails at?

Also still waiting for swiping a post away to show the previous page instead of a black void but that’s super minor! Otherwise I really like Sync

At least when you say certain keywords to your pets they show some emotions!

Try saying “potty?” to an LLM and decoding its response to gauge if it needs to go potty or not, Google!

11.6 mega bites

Absolutely, I was pretty upset when Google added Gemini to their Messages app, then excited when the button (that you can’t remove) was removed! Now I’ve updated Messages again and they brought the button back. Why would you ever need an LLM in a texting app?

Edit: and also Snapchat, Instagram, and any other social media app they’re shoveling an AI chat bot into for no reason

Edit 2: AND GOOGLE TELLING ME “Try out Gemini!” EVERY TIME I USE GOOGLE ASSISTANT ON MY PHONE!!!

My favorite subtitle moment from Star Trek (I don’t remember which one) is the “Everyone prepare for a Happy Birthday!” on Netflix

That was the funniest thing little kid me had ever seen

What’s up Stevfen!

I’ll definitely check some of those out, thanks! I have a little experience with Linux since every self hosted server PC I’ve built has always had Ubuntu Server, but even then I was tempted to try and dual boot Mint

As Microsoft adds ads in more places more and more, I consider moving over to Linux but I just have too many files and weird Windows only programs that I use that I can’t

I also haven’t really found a desktop environment I really like yet, so I’m open to suggestions for dual booting!

When I first saw that I was like “great, I have a virus”

Nope, just Windows

Almost every time I restart my Windows PC from an update, it sits on the “closing apps screen” or “restarting” screen then gives up completely and I have to force it to shut down/restart

And, just about every other time I restart with an update, it closes apps and then just fully shuts down after the update!

It’s super graceful! 😭

Figma apps!

That’s so punkmanteau
