Five years ago I would have cared. These days I simply assume and accept that if I go online I abandon all hopes of privacy. It’s a trade-off - they know that I like blonde roast coffee…I get to my preferred products faster. My days of tinfoil-hats are over but to each his own of course.

So you’re now saying California is mostly right wing…?
I dread the day I get that poor :)
Agree, SF is amazing
I posted this earlier somewhere else on Lemmy but the post got so much AI-ridicule that I simply deleted it.
My father is a long-time retired engineer and have always loved tech. These days he’s unfortunately legally blind. Recently I picked up two Rabbit R1’s - one for me to play around with and one as a gift for my father. I set up his R1 first - which literally took 5 mins.
Gave it to him on Tuesday and within 10 mins he was off. He was asking it things about weather, radio, etc. and then there was the moment that choked me up a bit. He was on the couch and our daughter was on the floor. He held up the R1 and used the camera and asked to describe his granddaughter and it did that and included that she was wearing a t-shirt with a yellow animal on it. He immediately asked her what animal it was and they went back and forth a few times and I could see how he was enjoying them talking like this.
He then picks up the R1 and says* “thank you rabbit”.*
The benefit to him is the very easy user interface - hold the button to speak and press it twice to activate the camera. That’s essentially it. No complicated smartphone to navigate through and now he has a way to ‘see’ things.
I do wish all these AI-haters would try to rise above their hateful mudslinging and realize that like anything it’s a tool and it not up to you to tell others how to use it.
I’m one of the world’s foremost SAP FI/CO consultants leveraging both my MBA and BSc - and worked on projects on three continents.
Apart from that I’m also really, really good at finding the dog’s poop during the evening walks.
I’d cry as well if I was eating Digiorno
Went out the other weekend. Two drinks was $55.
San Francisco
Luckily I have cheap taste and rather like Ardbeg 10
wtf happened to $5 footlong?
Pizza. Pizza used to be about $20 delivered. This past weekend we had a large meatlovers delivered…it was $48 before tip.
Lol, I’m sort of doing the same thing. My browsing history must be some the most boring ever. They want it they can have it.
