10$ a month to access the equivalent of deepseek, or any of the other models?

Yea I don’t know about that one.

Plus liability wise that is a nightmare. Surprised they had the audacity to do it.

I guess having the dashboard is cool… but I doubt this model will be very different compared to normal gemini

I play by challenge and double down/jump in rules.

Challenge rule: if the person plays a wild and the next player decides to challenge it, the person being challenged shows their hand to the next person in line, and if there was another card that could have been played instead, The person who played the card has to either draw two cards, or if it was a wild draw four, they draw the cards instead. However they were wrong, then they draw the penalty cards (so if it was a draw 4 they draw 6, and a standard wild they draw 2)

stacking/double down/jump in: If any player has a card that is identical to the current revealed card, they can jump in, and play that card as long as the next player has not started playing their turn. When a player jumps in, the turn order starts as if they had just had a turn, so it would be the next person from their position. If the card was a card that required a player to draw, the effect of the original card is cancelled, unless the player jumping in was the player that would have received the cards, in which case the effect is stacked and given to the next player(so a draw 4 becomes a draw 8), This effect can continuously be stacked as long as someone else doesn’t jump in or the person doesn’t have an identical card to continue stacking.

I wouldn’t use an air tag because after about an hour or two of it being near you, it’s gonna start beeping/chiming as an anti-stalk type alarm, and that in horseback is a bad combo.

edit: Actually, apparently this chime delay is anywhere from 8 to 24 hours, so you might not come across it.

There are people who don’t? I didn’t realize such an outcome could even be possible.

Yes there is. Kagi is probally the most well known I can think of, and even that still uses Google and Bing as secondary sources.

The biggest barriers is data/context. The biggest being the primary index.

Google has a lot of web scrapers/indexers and also offers hosting platforms. They also partner with big hosting companies for index trees to be able to easily show web sites reliably AND have been around for years finding it.

This is sadly also one of the primary damages that AI is currently doing to the internet field, because not only is it decreasing web traffic for web hosts due to AI summaries and searches, but it’s also forcing web hosts to have to block or restrict indexers. Which is making it even harder to establish search platforms. Because these same agents are abusing the user agent system to try to pretend that it’s a normal indexer, so web hosts are faced with either having their platform spammed so many bot traffic that it takes their website down, or block indexers, which means that they don’t appear in web searches. It’s a lose lose.

the public indecency one is rough. I don’t know if I would hire that individual.

The issue in that situation isn’t the fact that he was caught for it, but the fact that he was willing to do it in public in the first place, so the risk factor there would be will this individual potentially try to do the same at my establishment? I think I would hire them if I was in a non-public style buisness such as office work, but if I was in a very public buisness like retail I would pass.

As for the last example with the fraud. In this case, it sounds like the person did do it. But if the person had not done it but was convicted of it, I would need some pretty compelling evidence saying the other direction. Because having someone who’s known to be a fraudster, managing anything with a company is not a good idea.

It would matter extremely of what they were convicted of because that is ultimately a risk game.

If the guy was convicted of something related to financial(like fraud, theft etc) or hostility(murder, assault etc) I wouldn’t take the chance, otherwise I wouldn’t really care.

Remember, it doesn’t matter whether he did or not. it’s what society as a whole believes he did. If it’s a risk or liability to the company then it’s a no, but if it’s something that’s like a “oh well OK then” such as an old drug issue, IP violation, disorderly conduct etc, it’s whatever. If the public isn’t going to think differently of the company, and the financial stability of the company is not at risk, then go for it.

Although this also is assuming the guy has credentials, that would be worthwhile.

I’ve never once heard a song and said “I need to listen to all the songs by this artist”

but I think I would be concidered an EDM normie, so I just listen to what is concidered popular in the feeds.

Being said, I have heard some songs that were dual offs at times, like there’s a bunch of dubstep composers who I think fall under that where they had a real good ones and the rest are meh

It depends on the system, some of them once connected to a network won’t allow shift-f10 to open a prompt.

I want to reiterate the importance of the “pull the network cable” part. If you fail to unplug the cable before the setup wizard detects that there is the possibility of a network connection, on some systems it will actually prevent you from making a local account altogether, as it will force you to connect to a network which will skip the shift-f10 step.

We had this issue setting up demo models on laptops for awhile, if you didn’t disable the wifi adapter before it saw there was networks available(even if they were password protected) it would require a second factory reset to even get to the point where it would let you setup a local account.

I had something similar when I was using reddit. Constantly addicted to the site.

I didn’t know how bad it had actually gotten until when the API changes happened I uninstalled the app I was using.

For like the next 2 or 3 months, I would consistently catch myself sliding the side bar open and tapping where the app used to be. In some cases I would get in a loop and I would have attempted it like 6 or 7 times before realizing what I was doing.

The solution like others have said is disengage. The entire point of those platforms are addiction and entertainment. Shorts are even worse than entertainment posts as you can’t use the time waste on an individual level.

I had to fully block reddit at the DNS level to separate as I kept wanting to go back. I’m starting to notice the same effect when I’m on lemmy so as of late so I’m working on that.

I havent used any reverse lookup search in years, I used to do it but most of them want money with not promise of info returned so I decided just doing an exact search of a phone number usually works well enough. If it doesn’t appear in an exact search of common phone number formats, its not worth it to me.

I have 440+ but they are leftover from when i actually used them, I haven’t used the bookmark feature in at least 12-15 years now.

I have a feeling most of them are from an old addon that I had, because I think it abused the bookmark feature in order to keep browser sessions.

“It’s not great”

I don’t know what you are talking about. That’s about as dog as I’ve ever seen.

I did not know of this. Thank you.

that sucks, at least they called you instead of you walking in for the job after moving already and them being like “oh you didn’t actually get the job”

I would take that as a solid win in my books. Sr level pay, but lower level work? Sucks that it’s likely more customer facing but, that’s still a W then if they had done everything right.

Worked at one of my jobs for 8 years. Around the 4th year mark they made some decision to add a higher paid training oriented role into it that was essentially meant as a manager role, but you had no actual underlings because your goal was to go area by area and supervise or say where they could possibly do better. I was told I was the perfect fit, and honestly I love training and helping people so it was right up my alley.

I officially trained for the position for almost a year, got the credentials needed for the position and even extra permissions system side to be able to run the position, fully expecting that I was going to be getting the position. Then suddenly radio silence, the training sessions stopped with no followup, I stopped getting invites to meetings.

I eventually asked “hey what is going on” and they said “oh parent company decided that we weren’t good enough to actually get that role”. So much time wasted for getting that position. The only real positive (and why I feel it was a “switch” as well) that came out of it is that they never actually took away the additional security permissions I was given, so I was the only one with my title to have basically full access to anything system side so any issue that came up I no longer had to escalate to a management level or rely on finding someone to have to escalate for me.

I know netflix does, I would assume that youtube does the same.

oh God, please no. We can’t even manage driving on one-way roads and you want us to take to the skies as well.

I’m all for a better way of transporting that might actually get rid of our gridlock areas, but I feel like allowing unlicensed, uncertified VTOLs taxis into our already congested transportation areas is not the solution to this problem.
