  • Same, I’ve always been android and windows and heavily anti-apple

    It’s like people have completely forgotten what Apple was like before the iPhone

    I don’t know if I’ve ever really been pro-Microsoft, they had just been what gave me the freedom to get the job done. I even had a Windows CE phone back in the day, because it worked.

    When Microsoft started monetizing every little thing and became outright hostile with its users is when I made the switch to Linux, the learning curve was steep but it didn’t take very long to get a handle on it

    Early on I think I made the mistake of trying to hurry to get a windows experience out of Linux when I should have started where I started with Microsoft, at the command prompt

    I used DOS for a long time before Windows 3.1 was even on the scene. Thinking back, even when I was using Windows at first, I was always finding myself bringing up a command prompt to do things.

    Linux brings back some of that nostalgia, but it is so incredibly more capable and customizable than windows


  • I don’t have Gemini loaded to my phone and I have Google assistant voice command disabled

    But a few days ago I was having a conversation with my son next to me on the couch with my phone sitting on the arm of the couch.

    When I asked him a question, gemini answered with a prompt on the screen I have never seen before and haven’t since.

    It still creeps me out

    I looked up what the prompt for gemini is supposed to lol like and this looked nothing like that. It looked more like a popup dialogue box from a browser but the only browser I use is opera and it is set as default
