Google Assistant continues to crumble in the 'Gemini era'
  • I miss Google Now... just swipe, and all the relevant information is there. No need to prompt it, no need to wait for a response, and no audio noise to get the information I need.

    It was perfect for my needs.

  • Dublin, Ireland
  • yep... you're right... I didn't notice that. The story's still funny though (⁀ᗢ⁀)

    edit: looking at it through Google Street View, the picture in the post was actually taken from the Sean O'Casey bridge XD

  • Dublin, Ireland
  • I chuckle a bit every time I see that bridge 😁

  • Petz II (1997) (Dogz and Catz)
  • I remember that one 😊

    There was another version called Oddballz ... It had some weird beasts, but still very cute 🥺

  • Phantasmagoria (PC, 1995)
  • I think I still have the original CD set somewhere . I should probably find 👻

  • Finally! Mozilla Firefox is Bringing in Tab Grouping Feature
  • I've been happy with the Simple Tab Groups extension, but built-in support would be welcome, since it would have better access than an extension.

  • Just finished Hyperion, curious to hear the community’s thoughts
  • Hyperion is the first book in a 4-book series: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, The Rise of Endymion.

    If I recall correctly, the first two were supposed to be one book, but were split to two because the publisher wanted more money or something to that effect. So finishing the first book leaves you effectively hanging with a lot of unresolved threads.

    By itself, Hyperion seems like a collection of loosely related stories in the same universe. But the rest of the books in the series answer a lot (if not all, read it a long time ago) of the question and threads in the first book.

    I can't go into much detail without [mildly] spoiling the series, so I'll just say this: the story is told by different speakers, but it all ties in pretty well.

  • Help with getting into SSH
  • I'm not sure where ConnectBot stores its keys, so I can't help with the 'transferring to termux' part :-)

    What I can tell you is that you should be able to generate and use SSH keys directly in Termux. Here's a quick guide on how to do it: https://gist.github.com/evandrocoan/f503188587587d7b1d1ba8746c9c6107

    I've switched phones recently, and I haven't set up my keys yet, but as far as I recall I went through a similar process a few years ago to set up SSH keys on my phone (I haven't tried the steps in that article myself).

  • VS Code | January 2024 Release | 1.86
  • Indeed - users that need accessable features should not rely on each piece of software they use to supply them. But even as a one-off feature, it is a good thing to have IMO, as it will certainly expose APIs and hooks in vscode for other accessibility software to utilize.

    Also, open source, learning, and all that jazz.

  • VS Code | January 2024 Release | 1.86
  • You may not find a use for it, and neither do I in my workflow. But think about accessibility - it might enable some users to perform tasks the find physically difficult using just their voice.

    Or, you can go get a beer or a [slice of] pizza, and call out to vscode from across the room to build your app or start a server or something.

  • Hezbollah anti-tank missile hits church in northern Israel, injuring 9 IDF soldiers, 1 civilian
  • A bit more about the history and current state of Iqrit:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iqrit

    Israel and the IDF won't allow people to return to their lands there since 1948, and now they're using it to cry foul.

    The reason why Apple is still successful while other tech companies continue to dig their own graves
  • One minor flaw in their reasoning: Johny Srouji is Arab (but evidently passes as white).

  • You use a keyboard and a peinter? weak! I throw magnets over the memory chips and use a multi-meter. /l334

  • What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?
  • A Nokia 3100 ... it was the first phone I bought, and I kept it through college and beyond.

    The thing was a beast :-)

    128x128 pixel screen, with 12-bit RGB. No WiFi, no Bluetooth. Had some web access with WAP (no not that! "Wireless Access Protocol"). It did have a camera module though /rofl

    And best of all, the battery lasted a week!

  • So, timeshift or NixOS?
  • I've been running the same installation since 2012.

    obligatory: "arch, btw"

  • Porsche will adopt Android Automotive, complete with Google apps
  • Personally, I still prefer Android Auto (i.e. phone projected onto car screen) to Android Automotive (Android built into the car infotainment system). My phone gets way more updates than my car, and it's cheaper to buy a new phone once it stops getting updates.

    I have the same sentiment towards smart TVs vs plain old "dumb" TVs + a streamer.

  • An emergency FEMA alert test will sound Oct. 4 on all U.S. TVs, radios and cellphones
  • I've already heard conspiracy theories about "the US government shutting down the internet" because someone misinterpreted this test.

    FSM help us 🤦‍♂️

  • because sometimes you need to investiagte an issue that happens only on the production machines, and you can't/shouldn't setup debugging on those.

  • The opposite of "product" must be "conduct".
