Comment on What's the oldest tech you use, and why do you still use it? in ~tech
Delta0 LinkNot sure if this counts as "tech" but I bought a WW2 era anvil-style vice from an old dude on Craigslist and gave it a new coat of red spray paint. I use it regularly for many of my projects.Not sure if this counts as "tech" but I bought a WW2 era anvil-style vice from an old dude on Craigslist and gave it a new coat of red spray paint.

I realized Windows won't even invest in fixing their existing UI, settings experience, or be consistent with anything and chase dumb AI trends to make us into a better product.

Comment on You can tell how bad Google Searches are now when you try to search for "Baldur's Gate 3 Wiki" and it pushes you a single outdated wiki and a bunch of posts telling you to use bg3.wiki in ~tech

But my point with this post was that there was plenty of posts from all these other search results (reddit, official forums, youtube videos) that were suggesting bg3.wiki
The real answer should be to show both results at the top

But for more casual users like me, tagging feels a bit harder than flairs on Reddit since there are so many options. What is the expectation from mods when it comes to tagging my posts?

Are phones really listening to us at all times?

Had an interesting conversation with my colleagues this morning. We were pretty split whether phones listen to us for advertising or not.
On one hand, we anecdotally see Google news and ad suggestions based on what we say. We know our mics are on at all times for voice assistant and music detection. But we also read online talking about how there is no evidence about the phones recording us. It's hard to trust anything nowadays.

It even had an Adobe Air version of the program that is reminiscent of modern desktop chat like Telegram. It looked like it was getting big with mini game integrations and apps but one day, it shutdown.

Comment on What are your thoughts on the second season of Vinland Saga? in ~anime
Delta0 LinkFor a season that revolved around the main characters being a slave, it was as brutal as the last season. Lots of character growth with the characters and a solid standalone ending.For a season that revolved around the main characters being a slave, it was as brutal as the last season.

Since this is a change to play services, looks like the solution will be to use a sandboxed play service (like on Grephene OS). Or maybe microG can do something similar without having to install a brand new OS.
