Not that I personally would ever switch to iPhone because there is still a lack of sideloading open source software; but could you just not use the chat gpt integration?

It seems they are actually trying to not data harvest with all the AI stuff, there is quite a focus on privacy respecting server architecture and clearly defined conformations for the user for when something runs off device, or even off of Apple’s cloud (e.g. Chat GPT). I believe they even made their backend third party verifyable (although I’ve only seen their claims about this, I haven’t actually followed up).

Anyway, plenty of reasons to dislike apple, I’m sure they still collect data, but why not just ignore the Chat GPT functionality?

Any specific one you would recommend?

It’s interesting that they are so repulsive to almost everyone (including me). I wonder what the specific traits are that makes people dislike the cast, I can’t quite put my finger on it.

(Except maybe for the roomba/hoover robot, that one seemed kinda interesting as a concept)

Is this gonna be another 14++++++++ ?

Tactical Breach Wizards

It’s made by the Developer who made Gunpoint and Heat Signature (also amazing games if you somehow haven’t heard of them BTW).

It’s a turn based tactics/puzzle game where you command a squad of wizards with different magical abilities to dispatch a room full of enemies. A bit like Into the Breach but hand crafted scenarios, not procedurally generated.

It also has a fun story, character customisation, and ability unlocks. Almost every scenario has a bunch of optional extra goals, so you decide how hard you want to wreck your brain. Highly recommend it!

Edit: It seems people are aware of this one, I really thought it was a bit niche.

Ah, so that’s why your leader now appears when you are communicating with a different civ. They had to add this for bullshit skins monetization.

Edit: I wonder if this will be moddable: I now wanna see Master Chief teabagging Cleopatra when I declare war

You are absolutely correct, I love that movie. The chances of Disney being able to pull off anything even half as good however are basically nonexistent. That would require them to make something where the audience has to think, something risky, something potentially divisive.

Marvel is the epitome of visually impressive, but safe, inclusive movies for all audiences. Even the ones who are on their phones for half the movie.

Sometimes this is exactly what I’m looking for but it’s not really comparable to V for Vendetta.

If Disney spend the big bucks on RDJ they’re gonna want to show him off to draw in audiences.

As someone who is a bit out of the loop on Marvel since endgame, who are the current Avengers even?

Doesn’t seem to me like it would make sense to hire RDJ and then hide him behind a mask for the entire movie.

I really like boost

My workplace also forces me to do all my porn searches on Bing.

If your course allows it, an m1 macbook air might be within your price range if you shop around.

Thank you for your service

It really bothers me when people cycle on the road or sidewalk when there is a dedicated cycling lane.

It would be relevant if you’re trying to put it in your pocket.

I highly recommend Living Skyrim. It takes around 300gb storage but it’s absolutely worth it.

Is this a Black Mirror episode or something?

We just had a vote for government officials along the EP vote. Less than 60% turned up which means the most common vote was a vote for nothing. The average voter doesn’t care.

It’s okay. I played Borderlands 3 with voices off, only sfx/background sounds/music. I’m sure I can do the same with this. Maybe turn picture off too while I’m at it.

Let’s hope it isn’t. Even though civ 6 had multiple interesting aspects and in certain ways it was objectively better than 5, I just could not look past the ugly presentation.
