He eats Dijon mustard!

Yeah, if we’ve gotta have capitalism at least turn down the volume a bit.

Sorry, I no longer own one. Had one a few years ago tho and was very happy with it. I used to mostly sideload books via calibre through a cable connection but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t feasible via WiFi. IIRC I put an android launcher on it so was also able to use the browser to download directly from various free books sites.

Never tried via WiFi, I just use calibre. But you probably can, it’s rich with features.

My insurance provider has already replaced all of its customer service staff with AI. As I found out when I tried to ask them a question the other day. I’m changing insurance companies.

And there will only be bots looking at it.

The tea & coffee fund

Yeah, the NSA proved that when their exploits leaked. Eternal blue and I’m sure they have a much more stuff we can only guess at.

And meanwhile, consumers have to sell a kidney if they want to upgrade their devices.

I think at a certain point it becomes about power and money is just a way they measure it

I kinda suspect those voting machines in the swing states had something to do with it too.

Lol I quit reddit a couple of years ago when they did the API thing. Recently went on there cos I was googling some game stuff that led me there - and I found that the account that was logged in had been banned. I hadn’t commented or voted out even really been there for 2 years and somewhere in that time I earned a ban, somehow. Gotta laugh.

IKR, I left reddit a couple of years ago when they did the API thing, and even then it felt like there were a lot of bots around. I can only imagine that’s increased massively with Gen AI having become so ubiquitous. If I were an advertiser or investor, that’s a question that would worry me.

You sure it’s your Spidey senses?

Depends how well done you like them.

Btw I have video of you engaged in passionate sexual congress with a platypus. Send me bitcoin or your mother sees it!

I don’t have those problems, I just never seem to be the first to come up with the idea. Like the guy who did the ‘build the wall’ scam. Gotta respect that.

Insomnia, eh?

Yeah, the NHS is horribly underfunded - but I think it’s still one of very few things the UK can still be proud of. I think most people wouldn’t mind paying a little more tax, if it were specifically ringfenced for the NHS. Yeah, I doubt it would be created today, and it’s constantly fighting creeping privatisation but it still has a great deal of public support. And desperate as services are these days, I’m still alive because of it.

You mean, the front fell off. . ? Because that shouldn’t happen.

That’s not laughter, that’s the expression of a man whose protuberant hemorrhoids have just burst while he’s in public.

Edit - apt, really
