There sure are a lot of “Google enshittifies Google” articles lately.

Introducing TeslOS! The world’s first full self-driving OS for desktops!

It’s also nice because I can charge my entire family’s phones all at once. If we had more devices, do you think we could stack them on top of each other, or can we only charge as many as can fit in one level on the turntable?

Because Genthree Genfour Genfive Gensix, etc. would get confused with other products on a Google search.

It’s too bad Apple don’t think all the thoughts I want to think for me anymore. Oh well. 8GB of RAM is all I need, and I have removed “You’re welcome” from my lexicon.

Thry keep grabbing his nuts.

He would have had to cut his all expense paid yacht trip short.

Duolingo has dropped hugely in quality (for Korean anyway) just in the last couple months. The AI-generated voices mispronounce so much stuff. I spend more time reporting unclear audio or outright mispronunciations and grammar issues than I do learning. They seem to want their users to be their QA team, but then don’t even fix the reported issues. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/duolingo-lays-off-workers-as-it-leans-on-ai-tools-to-carry-out-more-tasks/ar-AA1mKgja

I grew up in a small town. We had two Wells Fargo banks on different ends of town. There was a female banker that looked like she was probably about forty who, whenever I would go into the branch closest to my house, would flirt with me so much that I eventually went to the other branch to avoid her.

I am surprised no one has mentioned cost yet. If a school suggest parents send their kids to therapy, but the bill is completely on the parents and they can’t afford it, that’s a pretty short conversation.

I would download so many cars.

Everything I read was well worded and well reasoned. However, it seems like either my ADD got the better of me, or that was the article that has no end. I didn’t really realize before that my attention has a word count, but I now know that it is less than this article.

It took me a while to find this blog post again. It details many ways he fits. https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/

Noy OP, but I canceled all of Prime. I haven’t used anything but video and shipping from it for months already. Almost everything I want to see on Prime Video requires renting/buying or getting a subscription to some other service through Amazon.

We didn’t buy enough stuff on Amazon last year to justify the cost via shipping either, even considering Christmas gift purchases.

My kids and I already get frustrated with finding things we know are wrong. However, we don’t know what we don’t know; what things are wrong that we don’t realize are wrong?

Their quality control for certain languages was already pretty bad, even with reporting all of the wrong things we find. I have mostly stopped using Duolingo because I don’t want to be their QA team. I also don’t want to get to the point of thinking I am decent at a language just to find people don’t know what I am saying when I use words that are just English words in the target language alphabet that are not actually used in conversation.

화이트 헤어, for example, is not the actual way to say white hair, it’s just a “decoration English” loan word. They should absolutely teach the native words first, and only teach trendy, conditional use loan words much later in the courses, if ever.

I am wondering how much worse it will be now. This could really bite them in the butt.

I searched for “colored Willies” to see what that would look like. It was not what I expected.

I used Pandora for a long time. I was relatively happy with it. I usually start with someone’s existing station and then thumbs down and thumbs up the various songs to fine tune it to what I like.

After years of hearing about Spotify, which I thought was a paid service, I found out it was free. I decided to give it a go. I created an account and signed in and picked a channel of what was popular on Spotify.

The very first song was one I didn’t like. I tried to skip it and couldn’t. I tried to “thumbs down” it, Pandora style, so it wouldn’t play that song again. No such feature. I looked for a way to never play music from that artist. I couldn’t. I left Spotify after less than one song.

With how aggressively they seem to shove music you don’t like in your face, I am not really surprised they aren’t doing well.
