@johnefrancis@jxself It’s the rocks in the ceiling that power the inertial dampers on Starfleet ships. Unfortunately those ceiling rocks also cause exploding consoles.
⁃ Apple added Siri to iOS in 2011. ⁃ Apple announced massive improvements to Siri with Apple Intelligence in 2024.
People say Apple is “behind on AI.” Most iPhone users don’t care about that. They just want a Siri that doesn’t suck. This should’ve happened *before* the big LLM hype started (i.e., well before 2022).
I’m kinda baffled by Apple’s recent record breaking quarter - especially in terms of iPhone sales.
iOS is uglier & buggier than ever. Siri is stuck in the early 2010’s. And, IMO the iPhone 17 Pro models are a bit disappointing (I’m not a fan of the design & the ditched the titanium which was actually a nice feature).
One thing that clearly helped is that they *finally* included long overdue features in the base model iPhone (e.g., 120Hz refresh rate).
@Fragglemuppet 💯 Self-compassion means allowing yourself to feel emotions about your own problems without feeling bad about it. It’s healthy. And, if more people were able to practice self-compassion, the world might be a better place.
@lxskllr@Fragglemuppet I have TNG on my Plex server, and it allows my to “shuffle.” So I often start a random episode to fall asleep to. TNG is comforting for me.
I wish money 𝘥𝘪𝘥 grow on trees. But only trees that I plant in my basement. Special trees that I call cA$H trees. They need no sunlight, no water, no carbon dioxide. One of them speaks to me and keeps me company when I’m feeling lonely. I named him Stewart. Hey, look. That cloud looks like Barbra Streisand.
Which of these choices most accurately represents how you’d feel if some idiot on Mastodon posted a poll but forgot to include the choices to select from?
