¿Qué?

Sometimes my car decides to play some radio before connecting to my phone. It’s an unfortunate side-effect of owning a not-too-nice car.

Radio DJs are little more than advertising agents nowadays. Or worse, wannabe entertainers.

Making car-pedestrian collisions safe is a ridiculous idea failed to doom from the start. Cars are big and hard, people are small and squishy.

I think the key is to prevent cars and people from coexisting as much as possible.

They are probably right, unfortunately.

They’re just following in the EU’s steps in a self-aggrandising move. Everyone knows apple won’t bother with splitting the iphone line and will go with USB-C soon.

Even my iPad keyboard (the folio from Apple) “only” cost like £180. Samsung’s going nuts.

Hi. Friendly reminder to keep personal activity out of work devices.

Until we meet again!

I guess hoovering up all your data ain’t enough.

That’s soon to change when regulations come in to force apple to allow sideloading.

No it wouldn’t. Phones aren’t cheap.

But that would require some mechanism for redistributing wealth and taking care if those who choose not to work, and everyone knows that’s communism.

As far as I understand (I’m in the market myself) the traditional makers have essentially caught up. You can expect the same build quality as other cars by the same makers.

(I’m specifically looking at Renault, Volvo and Mercedes, haven’t tried others)

Or, in short: dude likes Honda, Honda makes EVs, get one of those 😁

We’re talking about substantial hardware differences, though, which are substantially more expensive to maintain than simple region locking.

I don’t mind paying for an app, but fuck subscriptions. It’s dirt cheap and all, but I still won’t pay for it.

I’ll have a look at Organic though, that sounds right up my alley. If it’s open source, I can even have a look at raising a PR or two to pay them back.

Because the EU is such a massive market, EU law tends to bleed out. It’s expensive to keep different SKUs for different regions, so compliance tends to seep out.

I’d expect at least some of this to have an impact outside the EU.

mathematically simple

And, as far as I can see, neutral. Doesn’t put you in a bubble like other social networks do, because it’s not trying to milk you for engagement.

There’s an in between. Have the LLM map into predefined responses, thus leveraging the LLM’s insane parsing abilities with the linearity of tree-like structures.

It can be done, and can be done intelligently.

Which I somewhat doubt was the case here.

You should see my grandma’s phone. It’s full of apps from ads.

I’m pretty sure there’s 10 million grandmas.

Okay, let me rephrase that.

That’s easy to achieve if you use a massive billion-person platform to aggressively push Threads on everyone’s faces and make it very easy to accidentally create an account.

Better?
