I tried this with Gemini. Regardless of the number of rs in a word (zero to 3), it said two.

There are a tonne of realities that are very close to ours are populated by cockroaches and mutants.
Gotta keep those waves away from their delicate grey matter.
That or their phone has shitty palm detection and will unwittingly treat their face as a touch if they hold it too close.
lucky guess
What about sarcasm?
Kinda surprising that this comment got downvotes on this video.
His ideas aren’t monetizable. They’re a throwback to the golden age when tools and utilities were built for passion or need.
Now, tooling is built by for-profit corporations. It satisfies users enough that there isn’t enough room for passion projects. For-profit tooling tends to get usability right.
Look at the fediverse: it’s a workable system that users would be fine with, if more usable for-profit alternatives didn’t exist.
Your original statement was
Those that just vandalize random art or monuments that have nothing to do with climate change can fuck right off.
From the links you supplied, in two of the three cases (Stonehenge and Flowers) no damage was done. In the case of Stonehenge, the protestors chose a marker that wouldn’t damage the monument. For Flowers, I’d assume they knew about the glass. But that’s me giving them credit.
For the third (Warhol’s soup), damage was done but remediated.
The protestors are being unfairly accused of fucking up art without justification. Others have used that to dismiss the protests and the cause, which is bullshit.
The protestors have a good cause, they’re getting people to (at least) talk about climate change, and they’re taking the punishment for their actions.
The protestors stuck around to be arrested and sentenced, that makes it way easier for me to excuse.
IMO minor damage is acceptable, given the cause.
The gallery previously said the gold-coloured frame of the glass-covered painting was damaged in the October 2022 attack.
Apparently the painting was protected by glass. I don’t know the cultural significance of the frame.
That makes waaaaaaaaaaay more sense
I like the solitary grape. Gotta get some fiber in your meal.
Climate change will cause more droughts, fires, and heat waves. Millions of people will die and be displaced.
There’s a handful of people who want to do something to prevent this, but, given our system, there’s basically nothing they can do to change the outcome. So they’re resorting to civil disobedience.
I think it’s fine. From what I’ve heard, these are mostly minor inconveniences. Given the scale of suffering they’re warning us about, the inconveniences don’t seem minor. Disrupting medical care isn’t acceptable, etc.
They’ve successfully gotten people talking about climate change, so it’s working.
Counterpoint: before Gmail, I ran my own mail server and futzed with Mutt for a perfect email experience. It was a frustrating time sink.
Gmail came out and I now get a better end-user experience with virtually no cost of ownership. I’m comfortable with the ad-supported model. I’d prefer a low monthly fee, but not so much that it’s worth moving to Proton. Eventually, maybe I will.
I get this take, but it isn’t for me.
Now you would likely be fired if you refused to use Teams or Slack or whatever your company uses.
Why would I refuse? It’s company software running on company hardware. It isn’t my problem what the ToS is.
I’m not sure it’s devil’s advocate: I work with computers for 40 hours a week. There’s no way that I want to put any effort into a computer in my personal time
I love shitting on Python, but I feel like all those problems are present in libraries for other languages as well. There’s a tonne of that crap for JS/TS.
Similarly, I find a fair number of Rust crates (that I want to use) have virtually no doc or inline examples, and use weird metaprogramming that I can’t wrap my head around.
If it’s enforced, it’s more of a tax, isn’t it? I thought the whole premise was that people are doing it out of altruism.
I tried Gemini and it periodically failed to set timers and reminders. When I asked it the date next Tuesday, it got the answer wrong. 🤷♂️
I’d kick a couple of bucks towards a membership. I’m pretty sure I’ve dropped cash on my favourite instances at some point.
I’d be surprised if that kind of model could pay competitive developer salaries. Existing media platforms got started with mad VC money until they had a user base large enough to justify huge ad spends.
