The answer is yes. Are governments doing what they should to actually rehabilitate convicted criminals of any kind? Absolutely not.

Hot take

You can disagree with me all you want. You’re extremely misinformed, though. An entire life of propaganda made you believe some weird shit, but socialism is unequivocally about wealth distribution and liberalism is undoubtedly right-wing.

I didn’t understand your comment about local politics. Mostly because you can’t possibly know where i’m from, and calling the left ‘wealthy fuckwads’ is just bizarre.

Cringe

No. I’ve read enough theory to know that the left understands the world as a struggle between two classes: capitalists and workers.

The right believes in meritocracy, the invisible hand of the market, and risking capital as the most valuable asset.

Of course there are poor people leaning right. There is not a single leftist billionaire, though.

…oh, and in case you’re from the United States (you act as if you were): Both of your political parties are right-wing. Your ‘radical leftist politicians’ are centrists at best. Right-wingers don’t become leftists because they’re ok with giving some human rights to the population.

You just described the left part of left vs right.

This is why parking spaces have the yellow fucking things in the front.

Good.

hahaha, I know. I, for one, never liked him, but I can see most people did for a long time.

He was over that threshold from day one of his existence.

His lies caught up to him. From his ridiculous tunnels, his crypto pump and dump scam, his robotaxis, to taking humanity to Mars. The lies just collapsed and revealed they were empty promises all along. Hell, even his solar panels were a trick, and the goddamn truck. Not to mention the FSD that will never really work as promised because the tech just isn’t there.

Shape Builder is my favorite tool in Illustrator. It is extremely useful

I once helped my niece set up her Android phone. That’s the only time i’ve used an Android phone for over 2 minutes.

But hey, at least Android is customizable to the point of maybe getting a version with no gestures. I just can’t imagine what that means anyway. Scrolling by tapping arrows…? Zooming in by tapping on a magnifying glass? Gestures are the way we interact with screens.

The answer is not as obvious. Those that don’t use Signal may use Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram DMs, Google Chat, even Slack or Discord.

Sending SMS is like using a fax at this point. It’s ridiculous to even consider doing it.

The state of messaging in the US is absurd and only explained by this kind of behavior. The rest of the world moved on from SMS over a decade ago and have zero issues communicating with people no matter what OS their device has.

I strongly believe that GPT is a (really impressive) gimmick. I’m not conviced that it has the potential for growth every outlet is pushing. No matter the brand or model (Bard, Bing, OpenAI, Apple if it happens), I don’t think this will exponentially improve over time like other tech has. It relies on growth in computational power, bandwidth/cloud connectivity and access to quality content for learning. The first two are already mature technologies that will improve marginally over time and access to new content will be increasingly difficult, specially if the web gets flooded with texts written by GPT.

So yeah, it’s cool they create their own model and add it to their services, but it’s not a big deal.

Who are you sending sms to? Like, how is that a dealbreaker?

Google Maps. The reason is not living in the US. Apple Maps is a complete joke over here. Like, it’s at least a decade behind. Roads and residential areas newer than that simply don’t exist, it constantly suggests making illegal turns, and searching for places is just sad. Results are places in different cities and in the US.

Switch brands. Honestly, gestures are like half of the iPhone experience. If you think it’s a fundamentally broken idea, then this phone just isn’t for you.
