Thanks for the tip. I’ll take a look.

Uh huh! Uh huh!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Unrelated: If I could do a Yesterday scenario, I would choose to be the only one who remembers The Offspring, and then I would record and copyright all of their songs and never release them to spare the world that crappy garbage.

What a cool project. That’s on the way to being what I need, but it still can’t do reminders. Honestly, reminders are the only thing I want because of absentmindedness. I think I’ll just schedule send text messages to myself going forward. Not as simple as saying it out loud, but sending a text is pretty muscle memory at this point.

You realize your solutions are much more cumbersome and different than saying “hey phone, remind me that my football game starts tomorrow at 1pm”, right?

It’s all moot because I’ve disabled gemini on my phone because it is bad at the tasks I used Google Assistant for. So in the end, I just don’t have an assistant app anymore.

It was nice for the last many years to be able to say “hey Google, remind me in one month to give the dogs their flea meds” and then sure as shit, one month later, it told me like magic with a ding and a notification.

I wonder what happened to all the scheduled reminders I had already for months to a year from now … Gone, I guess.

Unskippable DVD ads

Rip it and burn a backup without the ads?

Why’d they make that one Muppet out of leather?

No, no it was all about subagitation and money. You know, the thing us crackers do best.

Subagitation? The fuck does unlawful intercourse have to do with this? (I had to look this goofy word up in a dictionary because it’s so unusual)

Welcome to Lemmy where everyone’s correct always and the downvotes don’t matter. No worries.

Also, dude, we’re the same age. I’ll hit 43 before the year is up.

I look up vacuum everytime because I know it’s spelled weird. I don’t know another word with two U s off the top of my head.

In my late 20s, I memorized how to spell necessary because I always got it wrong… Seemed like a necessary word to know how to spell.

See you around!

Friend, since this story is so important to your personal history, you may want to memorize the spelling of vacuum for future retellings. Just a friendly heads up. All good things to you.

Dude… Tell the whole story. It sounds interesting.

…did you sign the lease?

I also don’t know who it is. “We have Carson Daly at home.”

At least you get free breakfast buffet at strip clubs. (Or you did the last time I went to one more than 20 years ago.)

Dude, nice source. I rotated and highlighted for the next pickler that has never seen blue garlic before.

Huh? How?

12% of Americans that often choose a vegan meal multiple times per week, seems realistic too.

I have no reason to believe that the google authenticator app on my google phone doesn’t register and record that it’s being used to log into XYZ website, and further that XYZ website is not then sending back unique identifying info to Google about me when ive used the code to log in.

I’ve lived with tech long enough to know that if they say “we absolutely don’t,” it really means they probably do.

Like when they swore up and down and gaslit us that our phones aren’t listening to us to generate ads.

How many lies can I believe before I begin assuming everything is just another lie from a liar?

Guess im paranoid.

But that whole thing ignores that it’s an annoying second step with another device. Like “you want to log in? Thread a needle with the string in your pocket first…”
