secretly influencing global events for years.

The AI is admitting its crimes in the open to gently caress with us.

Reminds me of the time I got a set of little ceramic ramekins from Amazon and inside the box they were all broke along with a lovely handwritten note (presumably from an old lady) explaining that they were broken when they arrived and hoped whoever handled the return had a nice day.

My old neighbor worked at a warehouse selling clothes on Amazon and they would randomly get returns from other sellers, Amazon never wanted it back and sometimes it was good stuff that they just kept and that’s how I got this really nice Dyson fan.

It's a new fad with zillenials. It's like sending voice messages, only you don't get to listen to it first or redo it if you don't like it, and it's in real time, and once you send it, it's gone. It's like snapchat but for voice.

zillenials? Is there another millennium coming up already? :thisagain:

I know about the that, thank you, but I don’t want to have to use that. I’ve already lost by having to do extra clicks, I just got used to double pressing back on MS’s bullshit knowledge base. As y’all mentioned, most of the articles or threads or whatever the gently caress are useless so you end up looking at a ton of them and it became muscle memory.

That's the flagship feature they've been touting

For some stupid loving reason android will let whatever you install list itself on that poo poo, but it won't allow the user any control other than uninstalling an app that forces it up on you. This item wasn't there yesterday so Amazon must have "updated" their app and added it

I also had bing on there for a bit but that got removed when I uninstalled outlook maybe? It's not there anymore.

google is a garbage company and significantly worse than apple in every way, this wasn't always true but it is very true at this point.

It'd be enough to make me consider ending my longterm stance of ignoring Apple products, except that my phone strategy is to get whatever cheapo Verizon prepaid model I can get for $60 or $70 bucks and live with it for the next few years until I do the same thing for the next one. But even the "cheap" Apple ones are like $500 bucks following that plan.

my current iphone was the last year's generation when i got it in late 2018 and it still works just fine, still gets updates and runs the latest iOS (though i think it's the last year for iOS updates on a model this old) and will continue to get security updates for years to come. still has the original battery, though it doesn't last a whole day. and no malware from the carrier or other bullshit like that.

the meta issue with imgur is its at the age where its likely to do more and more things to "grow" or be "profitable" and therefore start the process of dying before letting something else become top dog.

Imgur already got sold off a few years back and is currently in the downward spiral.

If only the people who make movies and TV shows would write the dialog down somewhere.

They don’t make the subtitles. It’s a third party who doesn’t always have access to the script.

Subtitles are overall a lot worse these days.

We never should have let last mile delivery be done by anyone else but the postal service, i don't need a postal truck and a UPS truck and a fedex truck and a DHL truck and an Amazon truck driving around my neighborhood every fuckin day.

Before anyone brings up problems they've had with their postal service, I say we should fix those problems instead of creating new iterations of the same problem that may or may not work better sometimes.
