Crash Course too!

I thought I was gonna start some shit by saying it’s more like being a vegan at a restaurant, but I see everyone’s already fighting.

Not really new but probably not that popular for everyone. It seems it was coined in 2010: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern. In the web dev space I was using it like 8-9 years ago, more or less.

I’ve had to remove a lot of recommendations. Man, PragerU, Crowder, Shapiro and Joe Rogan were in my feeds. Jeez.

I’m too tired to look it up, but I remember someone saying that resilience or grit was one of the best indicators of success. Someone replied that actually the best indicator of success is if you came from wealth.

A few months ago my director started discussions on return to office mandates. No one else really paid any attention.

I went in today and nobody is here, including my director. I don’t think anyone thinks the commute is worth the value they’re pitching.

I should have slept in an extra two hours.

I have a reminder to cancel Amazon Prime in a month. I never really used the TV portion until a few months ago and was like, fine … the selection sucks but it’s alright. After they introduced the ads now, it’s unusable to me. I’m getting rid of it entirely and not rewarding this type of behaviour.

I’d be riding an ebike right now, if I knew how I could park it safely :/ do you typically bring it with you?

I think it’s 'cause we know more about him. I think if we knew he was a whimsical dude and legitimately trying to help people instead of enriching himself, we’d see these pics and give him a bit more of a pass.

First time watching Lemmino and I’m an instant subscriber now, it was a great video. Not gonna lie the bait at the end was really enticing and I hope that this does get solved soon!

They’re possibly complimentary but not mutually exclusive. I think if they sold the form factor of the device over the phone that that would have been more honest marketing.

R1s statement in response from the article:

“rabbit r1 is not an Android app. We are aware there are some unofficial rabbit OS app/website emulators out there. We understand the passion that people have to get a taste of our AI and LAM instead of waiting for their r1 to arrive. That being said, to clear any misunderstanding and set the record straight, rabbit OS and LAM run on the cloud with very bespoke AOSP and lower level firmware modifications, therefore a local bootleg APK without the proper OS and Cloud endpoints won’t be able to access our service. rabbit OS is customized for r1 and we do not support third-party clients. Using a bootlegged APK or webclient carries significant risks; malicious actors are known to publish bootlegged apps that steal your data. For this reason, we recommend that users avoid these bootlegged rabbit OS apps.”

So there’s literally no reason for this to have been a device at all.

It probably sounds silly but I quite enjoy not memorizing different names for days of the weeks and months like when I was learning french … Lundi, Mardi …

Nice to be like 星期一，星期二，星期三 … for week days and 一月，二月，三月… for months.

I was wondering this too, so I looked it up

From Google:

First, ‘dry’ indicates that very little vermouth has been added to the cocktail, so the gin is the primary focus. The typical ratio is 6 parts gin to 1 part vermouth. However, order ‘extra dry’ and you’ll get the slightest splash of vermouth, or even just a glass-coating wash.

People using “fewer” instead of “less” would be far more infuriating. 'cause you know they know better and are trying to get a rise out of you :)

Hang on, so the president instituted a vaccine mandate but the supreme court shot it down. How’s that fascist? I did mention that vaccine mandates aren’t actually new.

If things are done at the state level isn’t that dependent upon the state? How’s that a blue thing? Were only blue states affected? Would you mind linking to any articles about this?

I mean I think removing Roe V Wade was far more damaging than any of that stuff. I thought seizing the supreme court was messed up.

There were no mask mandates federally I don’t think. Most of those were instituted state-wide?

Vaccine mandates date back to 1800s in the US. However, I’m once again I’m left to my imagination.

I think I’d need some examples? Also, are those things fascist? Or are they government policies you disagree with?

I mean, you may have a point but you’re being vague either intentionally or not I’m not sure.

Do you mean: vaccine mandates? mask mandates?

What exactly was fascistic about COVID?
