  • Just today i got a “Your number has been added to google meets!” with no way to backout or cancel. Not even the double “are you sure” from when you decline windows 11 upgrade. It added it to some random account i’m signed into atm and nobody has hours to go through their convoluted menus to fucking turn it off or erase it.

    Thats not counting all the other shit we get like the constant popups for premium or incessant backup harassment.

    Time for a new phone (I know graphene but due for a new phone and not buying google).




  • This is nothing new, people expect religion not to be part of the “professional” environment. Dunno if VS code applies.

    At the office (big corp) they don’t call it the “Christmas Party”, it’s “the holiday party”. They put lights and stuff up but no more Christmas trees/stars etc… not everyone celebrates christmas so that’s fine by me. If Microsoft wants to put a little santa hat on their product that’s fine by me too. If I was using some service based in Mexico and they put a little hat on a product for cinco de mayo i wouldn’t care. Christmas has other implications so it might be different, dunno


  • Big businesses know, they even ask people like me to add extra measures in place. I like to call it the concorde effect. Youre trying to make a plane that can shove air out of the way faster than it wants to move, and this takes an enormous amount of energy that isn’t worth the time save, or the cost. Even if you have higher airspeed when it works, if your plane doesn’t make it to destination it isn’t “faster”.

    We hear a lot about the downsides of AI, except that doesn’t fit the big corpo narrative and people don’t care enough really. If youre just a consumer who has no idea how this really works, the investments companiess make into shoving it everywhere makes it seem like it’s not a problem and it looks like there’s only AI hype and no party poopers.
