Not the person you responded to, but my Android 11 tablet is not signed into Google (yes, the device I’m commenting from right now on Lemmy).
I disabled Google Play Services and almost all the built in Google apps. I had to do that because Google Play Services is exactly how Google backdoored the whole OS to install kill switches wherever the hell they want, and they’re already starting to try to do that age check shit on me to even so much as watch The Outer Limits on YT alternatives.
I’ve had to revert some of my apps to older versions because newer versions are literally telling me that they either no longer work at all, or won’t work in the near future.
My red flag warning came from an update of the simple FOSS Bubble Level app from F-Droid. Like seriously, Google gonna try to block a simple FOSS Bubble Level app because I’m not logged in?
Fuck that, I prefer to sideload my apps, so I’ll take the hit of disabling Google Services to keep the full lockdown from happening.

Just don’t. Don’t feed Spez, don’t feed his cronies or the AI bots sucking the life out of the internet.
- Comment on I never saw the twilight zone. To pick it up should I was the old vs new? Or is it much of a difference? 1 day ago:
I didn’t see all that much of The Twilight Zone either, but I did watch practically every episode of The Outer Limits, the newer color episodes from the 1990s era. Man I miss that show, every single episode was amazingly well done!

I think this is some sort of surface mount fuse.
Don’t quote me on that as fact though.

So, is Artificial Intelligence actually the zombies, coming after the children’s minds? 🤔

You’re not too far off base actually, remember when convenience stores used to sell spice?..
They’ll sell whatever they legally can, and even then some things are still in that grey area…

So, it’s been decades since I was a teenager, and AI chatbots weren’t even a thing. Hell, I didn’t even have the internet as a teenager, so maybe I’m totally out of the loop, but someone riddle me this?..
They’re age checking and gatekeeping social media, but not age checking and gatekeeping AI chatbots?
Do I have this about right, or am I missing something here?
- Comment on What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify? 4 days ago:
Whatever the future of petrol, you gotta consider they sell way more than fuel. They’re called convenience stores for a reason, which I semi-jokingly refer to as addiction stations. They can and do sell basically anything they legally can that people are addicted to, beer, cigarettes, soft drinks, energy drinks, candy, hot food, etc…
So, whatever the long term future of petroleum, the stores themselves for the most part aren’t going anywhere, they’ll keep selling every sort of quick grab fast selling goto items that keep the customers coming back.

Holy shit, I wish I still had this book! Lost to the sands of time as I’ve moved place to place over the years… ☹️
Thanks for looking into it and proving I’m not insane.
Dr. Seuss though? Damn damn damn, I never realized that, even when I had the book, but yeah that’s it! 👍

Boners back in those times literally meant jokes, it didn’t mean what it means today.

I’ve learned, not once but twice, don’t smoke random weed with loose friends, always get your own weed from your trusted supplier. And whatever you get, make sure it comes as nuggets, not pre-ground nor pre-rolled, unless it comes from a legit trusted distributor.
I dunno what the fuck was in those two random joints my friends passed me, but it seemed like normal weed for about 20 minutes, until I got crazy sick at my stomach and uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea and passing out for a few hours.
I dunno what it was, might have been fent mixed in, might have been formaldehyde or something else, but I’ve learned to not smoke just any old random weed, it could be laced with anything…

I also remember riding the teacup ride, that was actually fun for my half blind ass at the age of 5.
- Comment on You ever been to Disney World? 1 week ago:
Cool cool!
I only have one particular outstanding memory from there, when I was 5 years old, back in 1987.
I was in their Ripley’s Believe It Or Not museum, or whatever you wanna call that anyways, next to a supposedly real shrunken head.
Believe it or not? Well phuck I dunno, but I still have the photo of me as a kid standing right next to it…

Yes, I know. Yes, I’ve been there before.
You’d figure in the year 2026, with all the advanced technology we have today, that Google Earth might be smart enough to automatically zoom out to show the whole area, not just the pinpoint average center out in the sticks…

There’s a music band named Suicidal Tendencies. Can’t even look that shit up online without getting a notice and probably flagged on a list.
Side note, bad name for a band…

I just signed up with Fluxer last night and chat with one of my old Discord friends. Fluxer is still very much in beta and under development, but seems to be a pretty promising open source clone of Discord.

- Comment on Is shart a swearword? 2 weeks ago:
Personally, I’d think not, as long as the word is used to literally identify when someone has a brown skid mark on the rear end of their clothing and/or underwear.
Now if I used it as an insult and called you or someone else a shart, well yeah I think it would be interpreted as offensive.
To me, it’s all in the intent of the word. But then again, I don’t give a flying fuck. Hell, I can’t even fly to save my own damn life. Shit.
