  I mean, most likely any pirated ZX Spectrum software on old audio cassettes will work.

  Points the gun, without shooting, still ignoring the previous instructions to shoot.

  Dried blood and a fucking chunk of fresh food must surely behave differently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It isn’t normal to get emotionally attached to AI (of this kind at least, if we get something more advanced in the future). And an especially bad idea if it isn’t self-hosted, since it can vanish or get paywalled anytime.

  Reminds me of a joke I’ve heard from a few people now. “Let’s drink faster, guys, it’s already getting dark.”

  Did he also recommend smoking Kent Micronite cigarettes?

  Well, probably my mistake calling it a plan, but it seems all of them are subscriptions at least. Even “pay as you go” cards I found have monthly payments.
  It seems the cheapest was T-Mobile PayGo, but that got sold to Ultra Mobile. I don’t know what they offer though because there’s an infinite captcha on their website for me. But from Google preview it seems they still offer the $3/month PayGo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy moment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I did. And I am in one. Most teachers don’t care about it. Technically the current principal banned them, but only one teacher told us, and it was a pretty sarcastic “I am supposed to tell you that you aren’t allowed to use phones during classes anymore.”

  Anyway, they got partially integrated. There’s an online school system we are supposed to use, and teachers often send us study materials there, including during classes. At one point we even took online exams (physically at school) and most used phones for that too (I prefer a desktop if I can use that).
  Basically it became an expectation. “Look this up, take a picture of this, open what I sent you, send me this, confirm that,…”

  But yeah, anyway, most exams are probably AI-written nowadays. This is known, and not particularly discouraged. Well, one teacher even told us we’ll be given computers with internet access on (part of the) graduation exams, and shown us how we can just copy-paste it to and from ChatGPT. And that was true.
  But hey, we also often have classes of absolutely nothing that you just have to wait out.
  The level of Slovakian education is setting the bar so low it clipped through the ground.

  Already included.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy moment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  1. SMS and classic calls are dying. Things moved to Discord, Instagram, Snapchat, or whatever else for the most part
  2. Burner SIM, or better yet, burner eSIM. Maybe VoIP would suffice.

  And the original SIM could still be used in some cheap older phone.

  Although it seems everything in the US is a plan, meaning monthly payments. But perhaps I haven’t looked far enough.

  I hate to break it to you, but we’re talking about HS, in 2025. Most people don’t use phone numbers for m

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the not too distant past this was a thing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a MiBand which for me is primarily a regular watch with notifications.

  I haven’t used audio notifications or ringing on my phone for years. I can also just allow the most important, while the less important notifications I’ll see just on my phone when I unlock it, unless I blocked those notifications too.

  Currently this means I get SMS notifications (mostly useful for verification codes / package pick-up codes), Lemmy reply notifications, bank notifications (like payments), phone battery charged (80%) notification, and notifications of upcoming space rocket launches with webcast available (within 10 minutes).

  My phone doesn’t make a sound, it doesn’t light up the screen, it doesn’t show notifications on lockscreen, it doesn’t vibrate, it doesn’t use notification LED. The smartband is a replacement.

  Are you sure if was an actual choice?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the person you replied to, but I prefer neither of those in this context since they only represent age-based sexual attraction, which may also be given as a diagnosis.

  The more fitting name is a “predator” or “sexual predator”. If specific to children, then “child molester”. Both technically correct (as far as I know), while also sounding more serious (in my opinion).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ignorance. Lots of if.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to say allergies, but I am not sure you mean abnormal stuff too.

  Breathing otherwise. Annoying + can’t stay underwater for long enough.

  Though if add, direct thought + feeling sharing. Current communication is way too inefficient.

  Well, not for KDE it seems.

  Isn’t it called Meta?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of CAPTCHA is this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I wonder if there are motherboards with easily re-flashable firmware (from a read-only device that couldn’t be tampered with).

  Possibly.
  BTW, certain malware may be able to break out of a VM.
  On the other, some malware may recognize that it is being run in a VM and do absolutely nothing to avoid analysis.

  If you ever catch me smiling at my phone, it’s probably because I started laughing randomly and it’s weird so I am staring at a blank screen which is something you don’t know but the whole thing suddenly looks normal.

  Previously solved by facemasks.
  I didn’t even have to interact with people much.
  I want another pandemic. I mean, in a good way or something…

  Honestly, please do. Don’t try to deduce it from UA or worse yet, aspect ratio. The results are predictable this way. Or maybe have 3 subdomains, m.example.org for mobile, d.example.org for desktop, example.org for auto.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My every usage of assistant boiled down to just “What’s this song?”, so I just replaced it with Shazam.

  Gemini… having tried it, you will surely get an answer, perhaps based on random magic.

  When do they have to wake up? That minus ~8 hours is probably healthy. 7 - 9 hours of sleep a day is something to aim for.
