It might help.

At least Windows appears user friendly. Arch otoh is quite hard to set up the first time.

I’m not familiar with Google Matter, but you may find google alternatives for home assistant integrations at !homeassistant@lemmy.world

I’ve been pleasantly surprised before.

I’ve had a bot end the session while both I and the service agent were typing, and it was only 30 seconds since the last message.

This happened 3 times in a row before I learnt to pre-type all my answers in a text document and copy-paste them to keep the not happy.

It’s not as good as Google from 20 years ago, but much better than Google today.

I didn’t choose it for the privacy, I chose it because I wanted to actually get results for my searches.

Google gets me answers about 20% of the time,
Kagi about 50%,
and (generic - not Kagi) AI about 80% of the time.

The problem with AI as search is that the other 20% is when it will confidently give me wrong answers and waste hours of my time, so I guess Kagi is still useful to me.

Are you suggesting that all countries on earth will adopt this law, or that all developers in all countries will comply with the law of one country?

Will all previous versions of all OSs be deleted? Will all OSs become closed source so you can’t just remove the age verification part?

Will you be the only person on earth who is willing to break an unethical law to have basic privacy?

If yes to all the above, then you may need to start learning how to program.

Take back control of your OS. Use a different OS if you need to.

Multiple independent braking systems and adequate maintenance.

A single failure may cause the escalator to stop working, but it takes 3 failures in a row to make it catastrophic. Regular maintenance catches this failures before 3 in a row can occur.

If any of the stairs are damaged and cannot stay attached correctly, there is a chance of falling into the machinery below, which will not stop just because a human is in the way.

If the failure is in the braking system, it can quickly turn into rapidly moving stairs, which can be very lethal.
Most escalators have multiple independent braking systems so that this doesn’t happen, but some poorly maintained escalators have been discovered with 2 or even all 3 systems disabled.

Yeah, tell that wall to get out of your way.

It feels pretty easy when all you have to do is observe and give occasional instructions.

Most people are pretty bad at guessing the amount of effort someone else needs to complete a task.
Most people also have enough empathy to ask how much effort it was instead of telling you what they experienced and assuming it was the same for you.

Unfortunately, some people will still think a headache is painless because they are not the one experiencing it.

They’ve got 2 extra small ones at the back.

Did you know: If all the railway lines in the US were joined end to end

An oil rig fire is also less fuel efficient than a car for moving people.

I guess the cost of AI vs an employee depends on whether you want actual work to be done, or if you just want to spend money on making it look like something is happening.

I’ve had issues with printers and printer drivers until I got a brother laser printer. It seems to just work all the time.

I need a new custom mobile phone. Do you think you’re good enough to hand solder all the CPU transistors too?
