Aldi is so rad and they have the best chocolate.

I definitely recommend turning on List view in the settings. The default card view is okay but it only lets you see 1-2 things at a time vs 5-6.

When Reddit went to shit I turned to RSS to get my daily news. After trying many different iOS apps, all of which either sucked or had a monthly fee, I came across one called feeeed.

It has become one of my favorite apps and I highly recommend it. It’s free and extremely well designed! I believe its creator also works on the Arc browser team.

I soft quit Reddit last year and deleted all my profile’s comments and posts. I only kept it around because I had heard Reddit was restoring deleted posts and I wanted to make sure mine were gone for good. After several months I stopped checking.

This article made me finally pull the trigger and go in to delete my account. Surprise surprise, two pages of old comments had been restored.

Sure, that sucks. But I’m not saying there are zero downsides, I’m specifically countering the argument that there are “no good reasons” with my personal good reasons.

Thats precisely what I’m referring to- these things being possible when you’re inside of a store, restaurant, or an extreme case like you parked at the airport for a trip.

The fob won’t work if you’re deep inside a store, will it? Same for checking the mirrors.

That’s a very subjective take. My friends and family that live in hot climates love the ability to remotely turn on and pre-cool their vehicles. I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.

I bought $1 of bitcoin around 5 years ago just to see what would happen with it. It’s now worth $6.70. Do I regret not investing more? Ehh no.

You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.

This is bait

Wandavision spoilers

Was she really that popular and I missed the excitement? Is her character really popular in the comics? Is she important for some possible future major MCU event? Or is Disney taking a shot in the dark?

I don’t intend to sound pessimistic, I’m just confused is all. The show could wind up good.

I went back and looked at the articles I had read and dug a little deeper to get to an interview with Lilly Wachowski herself:

Continuing on The Matrix**, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —**

No, I didn’t.

You didn’t? Tell me more.

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrixquestions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

To be honest, her statement doesn’t seem like either a denial or confirmation to me so 🤷‍♂️

From what I’ve read, The Matrix wasn’t created as a trans allegory, it’s just that you can apply the fundamentals of its story to many concepts. One of the most popular interpretations happens to be gender identity because its creators transitioned years after the original trilogy ended.

Is it possible to implement a perfect guardrail on an AI model such that it will never ever spit out a certain piece of information? I feel like these models are so complex that you can always eventually find the perfect combination of words to circumvent any attempts to prevent prompt injection.

I’m specifically countering the blurb OP pulled from the article that says esims have no real benefit.

Without real benefit? How about some thief can’t steal my phone and pop out the SIM? How about transferring carriers without needing to wait to get my hands on the new SIM card?

Sure eSIMS have their own cons but reporting like they are a pure downgrade is disingenuous.

Damn I thought I was doing good having the 3 frozen. Good to know that new ones can just sprout up like that.

This game kicks ass
