AI just removes the boring stuff. It's like having developers spending their valuable time on typing and then comes a product that removes typing cost and dumb managers are like ha! we now need fewer developers! And the smart ones go, great we can shorten the feedback loop and use existing resources to make more improvements!

Is there any app switcher that doesn't need manual reload of configuration each time you open a new app so that it sees it?

That's classic with most cannabis studies. They sound like they started with a conclusion and then worked their way back fitting the data.

It would be easy, too. Find all studies on the subject, find correlations between some parameters and the results you want/don’t want, add those parameters in your inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Who even replicates review articles?

Millions of people use it because it helps them, but trust some edgy scientists who say nope it doesn't.

These gaslighting studies are unhelpful. For me cannabis has been life changing, no more pain killers and I live very much pain free. But I read studies claiming cannabis doesn't help with pain.

Then you'll have anti-drug crusaders taking these headlines and abuse people for whom cannabis made massive positive difference.

To those scientists: Go fuck yourself.

The people who want to control internet access use children to achieve their means. Why these creeps get to power? Normally people thinking too much about children would be casted out of society at best.

I noticed something strange with Cursor lately. When I am using Opus 4.6, sometimes it is giving ridiculously dumb answers as if they were actually using something like Qwen with a prompt to present itself as Opus. I have to close the session and start again hoping I'll get actual Opus.

There's no shot they're doing that. Would be suicide as soon as anyone notices, and by the looks of it, they didn't even clean up the URL here to "hide" the fact that this is Kimi K2.5 so i doubt there's any grand conspiracy here.

What's way more likely is that Opus has been quantized by anthropic or something similar. Or that Opus was updated and didn't work well with Cursor's harness after. Or a token caching issue. Etc.

Well, I noticed. Though I am too busy to make a fuss about it.

These departments are full of delusional maniacs, that at home are doormats and nobodies, but once they cross the floor of the department, they think they own the world. They sit by the desk and think who's day they can ruin today.

Meanwhile the UK is gnawed by corruption, scams and whatnot, yet there is no one able to do anything about. But harassing some Canadian forum? First to serve!

Google serves ads with known scams and nothing seems done about it.

Yet, they are concerned about this.

It has nothing to do with safety, but everything to do with control.

I remember when Google disabled call recording in Android, so you no longer could record scammers. Thanks to recording I was able to get money back from insurance company that claimed they absolutely didn't sell me this and that over the phone (paid for premium insurance and got basic).

Citation needed. My Pixel 7a with the latest updates has settings for call recording in the phone app. Since I never screwed around with it, I'd assume these are the defaults:

Call recording is turned on, with "asks to record calls" set

Automatically delete recordings is "never"

Automatically record calls with non-contacts is off

No specific numbers to automatically record calls are set

There is also a note that you have to agree to their ToS to use it, and I'd also suggest being careful if you live in a jurisdiction that requires two-party consent for recording.

In any case, I'm of the opinion that if F-Droid goes, I'm basically going to treat this as a feature phone and stay away from third-party apps in general aside from "musts" like banking.

It was added recently to Google dialer app. If you want to use external one or aren't on pixel which received this update then bad luck for you.

Ah, I see. So still a dick move, then, even if I never use it in the first place.

But this is very rich from them given they serve scam ads with impunity.

I'd say this has nothing to do with preventing scams, but to make independent software more difficult to distribute.

It is usually the creeps that rush for it. They want the taste of power (forcing you to be in certain place and causing inconvenience) to sniff your perfumes when talk to you up close and clock your bum.
