My Google homes have gotten progressively worse over the years. Half the time it will say it's setting a timer but nope, no timer. Recently I'll tell it to play music and it will reply that I don't have any devices with that feature.... they're all Google homes or Chromecast which absolutely play music. Really like the hardware but the software is utter shit

That's expensive and companies would rather not pay while the law is unclear on using copywrited images in a training set

Gets people riled up

From a quick Google search, docking is done to prevent injury to the stallion in mating and is thought to increase the frequency/ desire for the stallion to mate. There are, of course, more humane ways of accomplishing this but that's the historical justification for the practice

The first half of the first page is all ads now on Google. It's utter shit - the things it's a lot better at than DDG is NLP, being able to understand questions, and anything news related. If you know exactly what you're searching for though, using the old style of search words works great on DDG

Lol, oh no!.... anyways....

India has far more to lose from western nations like Canada restricting visas than the other way around. India is fucking around and they're about to find out. The US should, in turn, restrict H1B visas from India. Win for tech workers, win for international relations, and India is the one stuck holding the bag.

Maher is such a self-obsorbed piece of shit scab - the man has a net worth over $100MM and he's giving crocodile tears over his staff. Do like Griz did during the pandemic and keep staff on payroll and pay out of pocket

Religion is a disease on humanity

What confused the fuck outta me as someone who has been in the crypto space since 2010 is that it wasn't new or novel in any way. Colored Coins was virtually the same thing and it flopped in a similar fashion and there were several similar projects that did the same or never made it off the ground. Then, some shitty monkey drawings come along, are backed by virtually the same thing I had seen before and suddenly people I knew from my hometown who barely had two brain cells to rub together were claiming to be financial and tech gurus while peppering "block chain" into conversation. The one thing that brings me solace is that they all lost their investments

Wonder if this is their play to get weapons from the US or other NATO members to modernize their arsenal and then free up older munitions to give to Ukraine like we've seen prior

SMS support - signal went from being a one stop shop for messaging to yet another standalone messaging app that suffers from a lack of network effect unlike its competitors. The all in one approach was it's single greatest asset in getting people onto the platform.

There were desires to open up the platform prior, now it almost entirely forces you onto Signal exclusively and any discussion of other clients is expressely forbidden in its official support channels AND in it's unofficial (yet run by foundation members) channels like it's reddit sub

And yes, hopping on a shitty bandwagon of features its competitors have is a massive waste of dev hours and indicative of its downward trajectory

I feel since she took over, Signal has been on a steady downward trajectory. Increasing the barriers to use, more centralization instead of federation, and the stupid fucking Stories feature.
