Let’s hope good people continue to do good things in every way they are able.
Thank you everyone trying to make things better.
Just wanted to say thank you for writing this. Very cool take, that was so well written to get us on board for how and why “that old junk” has personality that is being lost.

Damn.
Doubt it’s not covered in EULA. Probably has something like
Company reserves the right to cancel your account for any reason, or without reason…
Does route calculation happen on device or on Google servers? Is it cheaper for Google to not show alternate routes?
That movie couldve been so much more…
Comments like this are just the definition of irony…
I also had screen tearing issues immediately on startup into the mint installer. Had to run the installer in safe mode to get mint going. Once mint was fully installed and rebooted to my desktop for the first time, had the same screen issues as I did with the installer not in safe mode. So mint only worked during install and only in safe mode.
Maybe our issues are similar (I’m Nvidia 1080 card), but I was never able to fix mine.
Some good ideas here. Probably go with a word limit in your last bullet instead of the 5 minutes
How’s that strategy working out for you? For us?
Unfortunately “don’t give them money” doesn’t work. Bc commerce is global due to internet. There will always be uninformed buyers in every product space. And always buyers who don’t care.
My solution, posts like this. We should be informing others of these practices and discussing ways to bypass, repair, or disable blocks and unintended behavior on the products and services we purchase.
The world is vastly more complex than it ever was before. I get it feels useless, but learning anything makes us smarter.
Being smarter means we will handle situations intelligently. There is no useless learning.
About a month ago i asked gpt to draw ascii art of a butterfly. This was before the google poem story broke. The response was a simple

But i was imagining ascii art in glorious bbs days of the 90s. So, i asked it to draw a more complex butterfly.
The second attempt gpt drew the top half of a complex butterfly perfectly as i imagined. But as it was drawing the torso, it just kept drawing, and drawing. Like a minute straight it was drawing torso. The longest torso ever… with no end in sight.
I felt a little funny letting it go on like that, so i pressed the stop button as it seemed irresponsible to just let it keep going.
I wonder what information that butterfly might’ve ended on if i let it continue…
Your assumptions are poor. People sometimes ask because they are looking for advice from others. “What’s your take on this”, etc.
Plus, them asking lets others know something is possible they hadnt even thought to search for.
Nothing wrong with asking questions on sites centered around user discussions.
Donwvote and don’t answer if you think they are asking in bad faith.
