It's not like AI is a legally defined term anywhere (that I've head of). Surely someone will end up suing google for things like this.

So far I'm sensing a food related theme with your sexual conquests

Yeah this bot annoys me. Because it never works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If it's because I'm using Firefox mobile, then that's even more stupid, considering Lemmy harps on about not using a chromium browser.

I'd be worried of the same outcome as pushing someone's face into a cake without checking for cake supports.

Random twig in the right orientation, haha there goes your eye.

Problems caught early are much easier to fix than problems caught later. This applies to any project (I'm not a programmer, but an engineer in the traditional sense).

Just "doing it" without coordination and review is a great way to waste a bunch of effort down the line with re-work.

Edit: typo

Oh right, yeah. We do this at my company which has operations world-wide. If we say timezone we say UTC±. Apologies for the misunderstanding

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

My condolences. I'm already annoyed with the times USC units are presented in Australia (our nominal pipe sizes are often talked about in inches, and sometimes valves and such have USC flow coefficients because the manufacturer is American).

So I cannot imagine the pain you must be subjected to.

YYYY.MM.DD and 24 hour for sure.

Everyone using UTC? Nah. Creates more problems than it solves (which are already solved, because you can just lookup what time it is elsewhere, and use calendars to automatically convert, etc.).

I for one do not want to do mental gymnastics /calculation just to know what solar time it is somewhere else. And if you just look up what solar time it is somewhere, we've already arrived back at what we're already doing.

Much easier just looking up what time (solar) time it is in a timezone. No need to re-learn what time means when you arrive somewhere on holiday, no need for movies to spell out exactly where they are in the world whenever they speak about time just so you know what it means. (Seriously, imagine how dumb it would be watching international films and they say: "meet you at 14 o'clock", and you have no idea what solar time that is, unless they literally tell you their timezone.)

Further, a lot more business than currently would have to start splitting their days not at 00:00 (I'm aware places like nightclubs do this already).

Getting rid of timezones makes no sense, and I do not understand why people on the internet keep suggesting it like it's a good idea.

Something tells me this isn't going to fly in Australia, unless they're willing to be giving out refunds for bricked phones.

I realise I have Google account, convenience at the cost of privacy. Just irks me that it's not opt in because if it were, their system would be less useful, and we can't give people informed consent can we...

People's right to their own personal joys ends at everyone else's right to safety and not being killed on the road (especially as a pedestrian, like you wouldn't be able to see shit in this thing).

Drive it only on private property and transport it in suitable truck? Fine

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?

Edit 2: I bought my Pixel 6 phone outright, directly from Google's Australian store. I have no creditors.

Were the courts not enough control for creditors? Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?

I don't even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?

Edit 1: You can check it's installed (~~stock~~ Pixel 6 android 14) Settings > Apps > All Apps > three dot menu, Show system > search "DeviceLockController".

I highly recommend getting NetGuard, you can enable pro features via their website if you have the APK for as low as 0.10€, but donate more, because it's amazing. You can also purchase via Google Play store.

While you're madly running about getting the store ready and dialling in the coffee.

And they're mad that you're not open before the opening time...
