@rgegriff messing with my new atari 800 and it just pipes the audio of whatever data its reading from serial over to the speakers (we need more of this)

Is this a feature I can see being useful? yes, assuming it's not spitting everything back at you via a LLM.

Is this a feature I can see being abused? also yes, in the same way we're all uncomfortable with Recall.

Is this a feature I feel comfortable using myself? no! I don't want the pages I visit being fed back to a google server! I also sometimes view pages I don't want to be scraped and stored locally for security reasons! (IE banking)

PSA for whatever threat model you may have (IE domestic abuse): Google Chrome now has an opt-in Microsoft Recall-like AI feature where every page you visit is scraped locally (and also submitted to Google's servers) for you to be able to search through later. Easily toggled via browser settings, no clue what on-disc storage looks like.

@aud me: "I don't need more fem cut suits"
also me: "just one more blazor will fix me"

@aud "their disgusting backdoors" vs "our free-range software bugs"

@aud was talking with someone recently about how they tried to play Far Cry 3 because it's got so much hype and how boring it is now, and I was like "yeah what made it good was that ubisoft nailed the ubisoft formula with it. if you go back and play it now I'm sure it's going to feel very generic and boring"

@aud this about sums what up when I expect when I hear "return to roots" and "assassins creed" in the same sentence

(god I remember how much 2 rocked when it released. Doubt it's aged well with the ubisoft formula though)

@aud what annoys me too is when someone also point out its ablest, and people who's only exposure to the word is via Pulp Fiction come back with a "no its not, its just a hehe funny word"

meanwhile I grew up that rural lifestyle with farmers that used it in reference to injured animals and people, and I'm like... no guys I'm pretty sure its not just that

@researchfairy I'm working with a company right now where they won't let it be installed on any machines due to the name. We're having to fallback on Paint.NET for any editing work

@rgegriff somehow i misread this as cheap in-volvo fertilization and i don't know which is worst

"you like programming radios, don't you?"

@aud every time i rewatch xfiles i get the overcoming urge to dress like a fed, but bisexually

@rgegriff me when I moved from the countryside to the city
