At least we put them on pretty 3D animated carbonated beverage advertisements for Christmastime for a while, that must’ve felt really nice until you consider that humans are exploiting your cute and cuddly experience to increase shareholder revenue due to sales of an unnecessarily sugared beverage made with tropical fruit seeds

Humanity: having an obesity epidemic

Polar Bears: “increased fat stores?? D E L I C I O U S”

I know what you’re getting at and this isn’t directed at you and I know this is why it’s done, but the capabilities of the phone don’t have any bearing on the use of the AI so why gatekeep it? It’s a dumb way to make a profit.

This is why I cringe at cell phone manufacturers selling cloud and AI features based on phone models because wtf you’re not running that cloud on that handset so why do you gatekeep the product behind that model? It can’t require that many resources, it’s a cloud app!

Left brain urging me to write “that’s a lie those are scissor switches”, right brain just going awwwwwwwwwwww

If it works anything like the ones some of us use in Puerto Rico it should work well! Cloth coffee filters have been a thing for a while and they’re good at making a strong brew while not requiring a disposable filter. This one tends to lead to muddier coffee but the one you have seems really good and probably filters better. https://www.puertoricocoffeeshop.com/cgi-bin/sc/ss_mb.cgi?storeid=*12d6fca48aa205759c40f5&ss_parm=Abc48d00a6c374ae8bbf4c58167029831

Yeah yeah shut up Jack nobody cares

Meanwhile here I am just tooting with folks in my small part of the community blissfully unaware of

MASTODON

☣️ ToXiCiTy ☢️

Why is Mastodon being treated as a monolithic entity?

Maybe I’ve been living under a rock but women can use technology as much as everyone else, I’m not understanding why this is news worthy

News sites are freaking stupid.

Sounds nice, wake me up when it’s available

Eh it doesn’t really, there isn’t a surge in radio attacks on cars, it’s just a novel concept so people are feeling spooked

But I’m with you on your first point, security needs to be hardened and the only one who can truly do that is the manufacturer

Another distraction for the big problems not getting solved

Didn’t realize, good to know, thank you!

You totally don’t want to just learn Linux command line and how to use the youtube-dl/yt-dlp packages through WSL or a Linux distro, that would deny corporations all of your money and be way too convenient. Thankfully it’s not intuitive to learn or there would be so much more piracy!

We know lol

What if the disability was just neurodivergent people trying to make a livelihood in their way with their abilities, but doing so in a neurotypical world where neurotypicals make the rules and tell neurodivergents that they cannot participate because they act in ways that are not socially acceptable or require accomodation to adapt to enforced neurotypical norms?

Maybe we seem broken because we don’t behave the same way, and maybe the disability exists because we’re inconvenient to the neurotypicals running the show to accommodate

Maybe the lives are already being ruined due to societal policy and unwritten rules and a treatment won’t resolve the root cause of a problem that isn’t our fault to begin with.

tl;dr, no, you change

Autism isn’t just a condition, that’s the deal, Autism is a heavily different way of thinking. It shapes Autistic behavior and their viewpoint on life. To them, science has been dedicated to focusing on eradicating a component of their existence, one that a lot of them (definitely not all, there are a lot with your opinion, but I would say a majority) have embraced and wouldn’t want changed. Those Autistics are looking for acceptance, not erasure.

With an anti-Autism treatment available, neurotypical parents will just force it on their Autistic kids, deciding their fate for them, but would also open up an “out” for those who want it, so this isn’t a clear cut good-or-bad thing as one may think.
