Anyone claiming a smartphone or tablet can replace a regular computer is a delusional fool who has not tasted the power and freedom that a computer offers. I tried catching up on my tablet and it made me realize once again how limiting and cumbersome touchscreens are and how android is not making it easy navigating anything and its ecology is not geared to power users. Autocorrect and predictive text blocks are mere crutches and poor imitations of the feats one can do when mastering touch typing on a physical keyboard. I coould learn doing that on a screen keyboard but doing so blindly is verging on the impossible.

I need a job that'll pay the rent on a residence with access to enough space for a pumpkin patch

@adiwan My high school girlfriend's dad did exactly that for their family's computer chairs, it can actually work out *incredibly* well, totally a good project idea. I've even been thinking about it as my desk chair starts wearing out....

@adiwan Huh. Well, it helped me calculate giant crops in Stardew Valley better than it helped me with the odds in a 52-card deck, at least. So there's still more room to grow.

It looks like Perplexity has gotten better at math

@ceruleanspark So long, and thanks for all the fish

@adiwan Finally, we'll be able to convert money into temperature, and time into color or something!!
-
@adiwan And kilometers are 1.6 to the mile, but celcius is 9/5+32 and centimeters are 2.54 per inch, why can't there just be one conversion rate?! lol

@adiwan I dunno, 75 for a good leather coat still sounds like a good deal, I think you got a significant steal here, man

So I ask Perplexity AI if I could use my guitar to chase away gophers, and it said probably not. Then I asked if it would work any better with my bass guitar and it gets hung up. I'm sure it was a connection error but I like to think it's sitting there going, "What's it matter if the guitar is shaped like a fish?!"

@zeldatra Only when I'm supposed to meet a man with white shoes and two cigarettes. His name is Thomas, and he will be expecting the codephrase. If Thomas is not present within 2 minutes of the arranged meeting time, I am to board the return train and . . . Uhh, wait....

I think there should be a SSN lottery to determine who gets to sit behind the president and tell them what a real citizen really thinks for a week. And probably some other positions, too. Let's draw a few dozen numbers a week and have them really give the buttheads a thorough job review. Speaker, veep, SCOTUS, all the bigwig secretaries. There should be enough positions that you have pretty good odds of being heard somewhere once an administration. I foresee no way in which this would go catastrophically awry, nor be an unmanageable behemoth of a bureau.

@zeldatra Everybody wants to be rid of Diet Mountain Dew. This could have united the nation, but our so-called "lee-durrs" have to split us asunder yet again

Wow I didn't necessarily think that The Acolyte was worse than the Holiday Special, but I also haven't seen the Holiday Special and didn't see Acolyte past episode 2 https://youtu.be/CO4xVT-OksI

Well heck, nevermind

@zeldatra I'm about to write the old Catholic in my capacity as a member of the clergy, counsel him to consider that maybe he's being a little Prideful in this matter...
