Depending on how you’re taking “inspiration” I’m fairly certain you can get sued if Anthropic feels like it.

Clean room development is there for a reason (although can you use AI in such an effort?)

Wow. I need about a dozen of these to post around my conservative town.

Edit: I think I found it… https://www.etsy.com/listing/4353841445/no-gods-no-masters-bobby-hill

If there’s encoding issues in the future, we can come up with mpreg2.

We are Flowers for Algernoning our technology.

If I use my phone (not android Auto), I can no longer say, “Navigate to <place>”. It flat out does not work.

Navigate to Local Bakery Xyz.

I’m sorry I can’t do that.

(It tries to open the non-existent app for the local bakery).

If I’m in the car that has android auto, it refuses to let me type while in drive (fair enough) and it recognizes the “Navigate to…” Instructions, but if I click on the Maps nav bar for voice and say my destination (it literally says, no text while driving speak your destination)… It tries to open the app.

This shit used to work, it’s getting actively dumber.

This morning I got fed up and asked,

“Can I use you to navigate somewhere?”

Sure! Where would you like to go?

“Dutch Bros”

(Opens the Dutch Bros app)

Aww where’s the link? I have an old iPhone that my ex-employeer didn’t want back - I wouldn’t mind playing around with it.

I’ve done something similar - repurposing old 90’s boomboxes with hifiberry - it works relatively well (but does require some tinkering.

Keep your membership - vote the board out the next election. Shop at the union stores if you must.

I think the comparison to blind box toys is fairly good - I never bought blind box legos to make money, I just liked a few of each run and hoped I’d get it. There seems to be a bit of a difference between gambling and baseball cards.

Hey everyone, because nobody told me when I bought a house, you have to do maintenance on your water heater to keep it working, including changing out a $40 part called an anodizing rod.

You didn’t know that GrapheneOS is diversifying by also deciding to start manufacturing footballs (soccer for our American friends)?

Wait, why are you doing this? Is there some network throughput requirement? Just bridging wifi to Ethernet won’t get you Ethernet speed, latency, or stability (since the back haul to the internet is WiFi).

This feels a bit like an XY Problem.

Edit: Wait, I’m guessing the company doesn’t allow wifi? (That seems weird, if they’re using a mandatory VPN, it shouldn’t matter how the laptop gets to the internet). Leaving this in case anyone doesn’t know about XY Problems. They’ve bitten me several times over the years.

Fine, all the more vaccines for me. Pump me full of all of that stuff and make me invincible to illness.

Unfortunately, mixarr may start to become significantly less useful - Spotify is killing most all their API access. 😢

Surely the leopard won’t eat my face!

Yeah I’m in the same boat. I’d love to degoogle a bit, but there are just a few essential apps that don’t play nice with Graphene.

Do you use Google wallet for tap to pay? If not, try GrapheneOS.

It’s fairly simple, based on AOSP, and works with pretty much any app (except Google Wallet).

Evidently a gubernatorial candidate for Florida?

Do you want to know something awful? There might not be snow days anymore. Not because of climate change, but because of COVID.

Days where school used to be called off could just be “remote learning” days and instead of getting to go play in the snow like we did when we were younger, kids will have to sit and zoom all day.

Well, obviously that kid was the kingpin of the twin cities snack thieving ring that’s been terrorizing good, honest Americans for the past (how old was he?) let’s say, 4 years?

I for one am so happy that the most dangerous are the only ones getting caught up in this totally legitimate and not at all fascist policing!
