  • Fun anecdote - yesterday my new phone overheard me say something about rescheduling a vacation day. It then proceeded to add a “Vacation” booking on a completely random day.

    Naturally I asked it what the fuck it was doing, and demanded it remove its permissions to edit my calendar. It quickly apologized, then assured me it had removed its capability to edit my calendar. I told it to not lie to my fucking face, realizing it could not in fact update its own permissions. It apologized again, presumably for being a pathological liar / asshole.

    Then I disabled Gemini on my phone, and won’t be using it again. Thanks google!








  • In my experience, most people definitely don’t consume tobacco with marijuana. Some people smoke on the side, but mixing is quite uncommon in western Canada.

    That being said, I am definitely highly addicted. I think anyone with chronic pain, trauma, or mental health disorders or probably at a higher risk. Not to mention the risk of psychosis for a very small portion of people.


  • Spotify has a “shuffle” option that includes recommended songs. This setting frequently gets stuck on - yesterday I was fighting with it for 5 minutes, then ended up giving up and switching to local music because it wouldn’t let me turn it off. I even pointed out to my wife what absolute horseshit this is. Basically, even if you pay them Spotify is going to try to fuck you over.

    Side note, I have a months old extremely one-sided email chain with Spotify support in which I send them all the obvious unlicenced bootlegs that they jam into my release radar… they told me to keep sending them examples, then stopped responding. Note that there is no way to report songs in the app, or via their reporting system.

    If you follow any dead rappers (or Lil Wayne), you definitely know the bootlegs I mean. I know I’m wasting my time but I can’t pass up the chance to tell them they are useless fucking assholes once a week.
