This made me remember that “trumping”/“trump” were already synonyms for “farting”/“fart” when I was a little kid in the UK. Yet another thing the orange horror has ruined smh

When I owned one years ago, I legit had no idea for the first few months.

The first time I clicked it with the power off I panicked and assumed I’d somehow jammed it or something. 😄

There’s the slow-and-not-very-capable link preview thing… and I could’ve sworn the “what’s new” page the other day said they were adding an on-device model to improve search results or something, but I can’t find the reference to it now.

Maybe they removed it after all the AI backlash. 😬

Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.

Come on, this isn’t Reddit, at least skim the article before you start with the performative outrage.

But seriously tho, it’s just depression, can’t sleep, hence this showerthought

Well… maybe. You’ve accidentally come up with something that actually exists, called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. And about half of people with DSPD have depression. 😬 (Also common in ADHDers.)

The circadian rhythms of people with DSPD are offset compared to people without it, so it is a bit like time zones in that respect. And if you try to “fight” it, by getting up early and holding down a 9-5 job, the effects are often compared to jet lag.

You’re so welcome! Good luck getting whatever it is figured out!

Assuming it’s the same feeling, it’s such a weird one to try and describe. I think that rings true though: it’s like a caffeine buzz, only it makes you feel sluggish instead of energised. 😅

YMMV, but if it is diabetes, the good news is it probably won’t take too many changes to start feeling better. I just went as low carb as I could bear (probably more Atkins than keto, so nothing too drastic) and cut out caffeine (it can cause blood sugar spikes). For now, that’s enough to manage it without any meds or finger-pricks, and I feel so much better! You don’t even feel that deprived when you’re having rich, creamy sauces on everything, and I’ve lost 32 lbs in less than 3 months, even while snacking the normal amount. 😂 I don’t even really exercise!

This probably sounds stupid, but I just kinda… started feeling diabetic? 😅 Like, how I was feeling matched my extremely vague idea of “what diabetes might feel like”, so I asked for blood tests, and yep.

I don’t think peeing a lot was really part of mine. I just found eating usually made me feel worse instead of better, and I was starting to get occasional tingling in my hands and feet.

Oh. In which case it still works fine for me, what can I say. 😅

Archive.ph is good, especially because I’ve never met a paywall it couldn’t bypass. 😏

Not that I’ve seen, no.

It irks me that all you ever hear about is “Ugh, Microsoft trying to force people to use Edge again”

And yet, when I did use Edge, I had to install an extension to remove the huge “We recommend using Chrome” banner on every Google service. 😬

I get where he’s coming from as a tech person… I’m old enough to remember chatting to ELIZA and Alicebot. The current state of AI is impressive to me, as well as “worrying” and “destroying the planet” and “being rammed down our throats” and all the other bad stuff.

It’s wildly tone deaf of him to say it in the middle of a backlash, though. 😬

What’s a better way to say “possibly possible”?

That is, it may be possible for humans to colonize Mars or create sentient AIs, or for you to lift 400 pounds, but we don’t know yet.

You answered your own question. 😁

Phones have cameras as well as microphones. Also, all public places have cameras. 🤔

I just wish they’d used actual clips from the game, instead of recording new dialogue of…

Really, really takes me out of the moment every time. 😬

I think I made about $15, but admittedly it was over the course of like 2 years

I watched Big Joel’s review of every Disney Channel movie last Christmas Day, while my partner was at work and I was defrosting the turkey. So… at least 6 hours.

I also watched this four-hour video on the fall of Doctor Who, and hbomberguy’s nearly-four-hour plagiarism video.

I have ADHD and can’t stand to sit in silence, though, so long videos don’t really phase me. 😄

Yeah. In Tomb Raider 2013 she goes from crying about killing a deer, to wiping out hundreds of people with families, in the space of about an hour. 😬
