I refuse to measure garlic by any unit smaller than a whole head. Recipe says three cloves? Pretty sure you mean one head of garlic there buddy.

yeah that’s exactly what I’m trying to get at with my lil meme. I used to get into a bunch of flame wars on the side of android because I would hear the apple people complain about fake made-up issues that I never experienced being a long-time android user. But seeing posts like OP’s makes me realize that those issues aren’t actually made up, they’re completely real and I just wasn’t seeing them because I am running a custom ROM. Like, in another thread some guy was concern-trolling about Google Services crashes being a “well-known issue” and everyone was upvoting him. Of course I would have no clue what he’s talking about, I don’t even have Google Services installed! So yeah, what I’m trying to say is that if you’ve never used an AOSP-based ROM and your entire experience of “android” are the slow buggy bloated ROMs that come installed by default on most phones, I’d understand why you’d choose to go with Apple instead.

I’m not even playing dumb lol, I really am just dumb. If you scroll down a bit you can see that I didn’t even think that apple intelligence was a real product before someone corrected me

Wow, this is a very insightful remark! Although I’m a little confused by your second point, would you mind expanding on that?

My pet peeve is m$ changing “My computer” to “This computer”. It’s no longer yours lol.

Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks!

Is Apple Intelligence even real? I don’t have any apple product myself but my parents have iphones and sometimes I use their ipad and I’ve never seen it or heard anyone talk about it IRL. Pretty sure it was just a prank/marketing trick

Is this really what the non-FOSS android experience has become nowadays!? AI chatbots in your messages app? This seems absolutely miserable. I think I finally understand why there are so many iOS users out there.

I once dragged one of those ceramic powerline insulators across two international borders because I found it lying around and liked how it looked. It took up the majority of the space in my backpack, so I had to buy a second backpack and carry it on the front of my chest lol. Apparently the reason they have that odd shape is so that when it’s raining, water can’t make a continuous trickle between the wire and the pylon

The “best” would be some kind of DC to DC converter
No sense in going dc->ac->dc if it can be helped.
Modern laptop chargers can actually run on DC current, and with as little as 48 volts. Here is a german guy demonstrating it. So if your battery bank runs on 48 volts, I think you might be able to just connect it directly to the input of a laptop charger and it will work.

Strange. I use windows 11 occasionally, and it’s never even as much as mentioned onedrive to me. Could it be that it’s a cracked install? Or that I never connected the local account to a microsoft account? Or that I’m in the EU?

When they went to school, my mother learned how to use a sewing machine, my father learned basic carpentry, and they both learned how to shoot and maintain an AK-47. Although the UUSR may not have been the perfect paradise that many people make it out to be, it does feel like modern school systems could learn a thing or two from the communists.

I love how “solarpunk” is such a broad aesthetic that it encompasses both zero-waste high-tech hydrogen powered biocities as well as scrappy revolutionary village communities where people cook food on solar ovens made from shattered car mirrors and fashion antennas out of coat hangers. It can be both hi-tech or lo-tech, as long as the tech exists in harmony with humankind and with nature

Damn, sounds impressive! The experience that inspired this meme for me was swapping the buttons in my mouse for newer ones from a dead donor mouse, which admittedly took much less than 2 hours haha

I don’t mean “redditor” as in a literal reddit user, but as a general insult. The type of person that has nothing better to do than to convince elementary schoolers that apple cores are poisonous… which they are, but not enough to be dangerous. And being pedantic about that sort of technicality is what makes someone a “redditor” to me.

Protip: while the “in one bite” part might be challenging, nobody is stopping your from eating your apples completely, including the core. It’s as tasty as the rest of the apple, and the stuff about apple seeds being dangerously poisonous is just some bullshit made up by redditors. Be free! Eat the core!
- Comment on My Honest Opinion 3 months ago:
A lot of people seem to think that all ai art is low effort garbage, which is just not true. There can be a lot of skill put into crafting the correct prompt to get the image you want from an image generator, not to mention the technical know-how of setting it up locally. The “ai art is not art” argument to me doesn’t sound any more substantiated than “electronic musicians aren’t musicians, go learn a real instrument” or “photographers aren’t really artists, all they do is push a button”. But regardless, I agree that we need good tagging, or as @ThatWeirdGuy1001 said, different communities. Even though the output looks similar, actually drawing things and wrangling prompts are two completely different skillsets, and the way we engage with the artistic product of those skills is completely different. You wouldn’t submit a photo you took to a watercolor painting contest. Same with ai art and non-ai art.
Anyway, just thought i’d share my opinion as an ai non-hater.

I can’t decide what is more bewildering to me, the fact that you seem to have a threshold below which certain injustices can just be ignored, or the fact that genital mutilation is apparently below that threshold.

The one who should go back to reddit is you. Penises are great and awesome, obsessing over them in a non-derogatory way is fun and natural (I’m a straight man btw). People have been obsessing over penises since before recorded history. The one who should fuck off back to reddit is you.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 3 months ago:
The type of people that truth social is designed for (conservatives, rightists, fascists) are often shunned for discriminating against minorities. Here they’re trying to pull a “no u”, to say that akshually we’re the ones who are discriminated against in mainstream media, and we’re gonna build our own platform with no discrimination, making us more virtuous than you. They don’t believe they actually have less discrimination, to them “discrimination” is a playing token in the game of morals. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that it doesn’t matter whether or not they believe they have less discrimination, because having less discrimination was never the goal. The card says moops.
