@sinituulia i can offer you the hand sewing task of modifying the pockets of 2 pairs of trousers so the phone doesnt fall out every damn time i sit down.
The fashion war on trouser pockets seems to have reached menswear now.

(Disclaimer: not really offering the task, I'm looking forward to doing it myself, this has just been an opportunity to complain about dumb pocket designs.)

@sinituulia i actually almost always wear vest-like jacketpulloverthing (i like to be able to just open the zipper for optimal temperature management :) ) but having a phone in its pocket is annoying, modern phones are just too large and solid to carry in a pocket that can "flap about".

I have to admit It's nice to have a computer in your pocket at all times, but fashion needs to go with the times and offer phone pockets, like the small pockets that evolved in suits to carry pocket watches.

@Alon @Radaghaz @mekkaokereke would you trust a random exit poll worker enough to tell them your. *secret by design* choice of vote, if there could be actual physical/monetary/social harm for you if it came out?
I certainly wouldn't.

@foone do you have a Geiger counter?
Maybe check it, just to be sure.... :D

@kevinrns @StillIRise1963 I would suggest instead of "if you use AI" to write "if you pay for AI"
Because every time you use some AI feature and don't pay for it, it costs the criminals money.
And eventually they will run out (and more importantly, look like idiots)

@GossiTheDog wait wait wait...
Did I just read a press release from a ransomware group written in corporate speak?

@mcc "oh no, I'm not pirating movies! In just using them as training data for my organic LLM in my head."
Someone should try that in court.

@BethanyBlack the "professional" questionnaires i had to fill out argent any better.
Had about 1/3 of the questions marked with an * to ask about it in person...

@doot you should teach courses in that.
Highly Important yet underrated skill.
