I’m not a conservative but I agree in principle that democrats should not be running on immigration as their main platform

Yeah I just don’t want to ditch my perfectly good Galaxy A54 until it’s actually broken

Is Android encrypted by default, or does it depend on the device vendor?

If my phone is physically compromised and the bootloader is unlocked, my hope is that storage encryption would make it a “non-issue”. Yes, they could wipe the device and delete my data then resell the phone, but at that point all they’ve stolen is a $300 phone with maybe $80 resale value and not my entire identity

17k for a new car of any kind is a good price

Active duty IDF soldiers? Or former IDF soldiers; because you’re trying to “out” former military Israeli civilians who happen to work for facebook.

Do you believe that it is right to target any former member of the Israeli military, who is now a civilian, with violence?

You’re advocating for violence against civilians

You understand that you’re effectively arguing for targeting Israeli civilians with violence and advocating for genocide. You’re explicitly endorsing terrorism

It’s called recall or something. If you are trying to find something you saw before but can’t remember, it remembers for you.

Copilot, what was the video on Pornhub I saw a few months ago, with the brunette who looks like Jessica from accounting? And she had like 4 guys in her at once and was eating spaghetti?

I would say I care more about other causes, and also it’s not like I was somehow an Azure customer anyways. You gotta pick like 2 or 3 causes to spend your energy on or you’ll just be in a bad mood all the time

I use it as a form of google, basically. I ask it coding questions a lot, some of which are a bit more philosophical. I never allow it to write code for me, though. Sometimes I’ll have it check my work

My company told us we need to get prior approval before using AI tools at our company

So we’re only allowed to agree with things now?

I’m not giving up, I’m just going to focus on the issues that are personally important to me

I could probably find a thousand things you spend your money on that hurt people in some way, but I’m not going to hold you to that insane standard because I don’t believe in ideological purity tests

I liked the first one, but I agree the 2nd is much better arranged. The first sounds like a concept album (which it is) and the 2nd sounds like a soundtrack to a musical (which it also is)

Call it caring fatigue. There are causes that I care about and that I spend my time and energy on. But over the course of 2020-2025, every little thing-of-the-week issue that popped up demanded that I stop buying socks at target, or burritos at chipotle, canned beans or pens or video games or cloud services or t-shirts or shoes or plastic cups or what have you. I just don’t have it in me to pretend to care about everything that everybody else cares about all the time. I’m picking my 2-3 things and sticking with them
