"Elon Musk might be suing OpenAI because he is a troll and has a grudge but his lawsuit puts a spotlight on the empty humanitarian posturing by AI businesses"
It also turns the spotlight OFF his ongoing empty posturing about everything else happening in the world.
@jasonhowell@ronxo@ant_pruitt Why am I not surprised that Apple apparently has already blocked #BeeperMini ? #Apple is far more interested at locking their users into the Apple-Ecosystem than actually providing a useful service to them.
@jasonhowell@Joe@krakalak@ronxo@ant_pruitt honestly, it'll never happen but iMessage should be the standard. I've seen in several places that RCS is as convoluted as the highways connecting to downtown LA
I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.
I had a Motorola StarTac, but I also had a plug-in organizer that I could import my contacts and initiate calls with. On top of that I had a cable that that I could tether my iPaq to by dialing #777 . My next phone was a Palm Treo.
I absolutely hate “smart” TVs! You can’t even buy a quality “dumb” panel anymore. I can’t convince the rest of my family and friends that the only things those smarts bring are built-in obsolescence, ads, and privacy issues....
Tried switching to #MintMobile. What a fucking nightmare. After two weeks, 5 days with no service, I am back to my original carrier. They could not activate my eSim after hours of support calls. Took forever to assign a new one to try. Left a voice mail with my account and transfer pin with the WRONG NUMBER, not even the same area code. The people I spoke to were great. The ones handling the escalations, not so much. Sure they are good with a physical sim, but don’t bring a modern iPhone. 👎🏻
@terrorskull I don't like eSims. They seem full of downsides Thout outweigh the upsides. I suppose if the phone ships with one it's ok, but otherwise gimme a sim card.
But I'm also Team Headphone Jack (Courage Port) and Team SD Card.
So I may have spent my evening using #Wine to play that old 80s #DOS game called DRUGWARS.EXE where you start out with money from loan shark and have to go to the 5 borroughs and Central Park and buy and sell various drugs at different prices to amass a financial empire.

I stopped trying to do Linux on the Chromebook after the third time this happened to me. Lust SSHed to another machine and tried Termux, then gave up and went to a regular laptop.

The smart(shit)ification of TVs pisses me off.

If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)
With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.
