Man, or, when I’m driving through the mountains, “Hey, Siri, play [some song I’ve owned 20 years and have downloaded locally to my device] in my Music app”; “I’m sorry, I’m having trouble getting a connection.” You useless fuck, you never needed a connection back when it was Voice Control; it was only after we moved to the awful Siri future some 15 years ago or whatever that this unbelievably basic, used-to-be-built-in-so-I-know-you-know-how-to-do-it function was replaced with something that has to call out to the Internet to do anything of value.

BromSwolligans@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire risksEnglish6·1 month agoThis is wild. I mean, it isn’t surprising conceptually, but like…I got my first ever Amazon recall notice about this, and it is for something I surely bought between 2016 and 2018. Thing’s just sitting in my basement wishing it was getting charged and used. I guess I’ll need to run it to the dump.

BromSwolligans@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSNEnglish2·2 months agoI mean, the ad services plugged into every website have already cross referenced each other and know who you are even if you use a service like DDG that supposedly doesn’t track. Incidentally, Kagi supposedly doesn’t track either, (which they’d better not since you’re paying them), so while it doesn’t mitigate the above issue of your being traceable by pure virtue of browsing the web, it certainly isn’t “tying your porn results to credit cards and search results.”

Came during the initial revolt. Increased attention after getting banned from Reddit because I joked I’d like a guy with a bunch of guns to give me one cause he had too many. They tried to say I was soliciting for the purchase of firearms, and when I said there was no way any serious person could have thought I was asking to buy a gun, they told me the lifetime ban was in place and if I ever came around again they’d ban me for ban evasion.
Lul. That place is a total fucking hellscape.
