I think someone should come up with a cat version of onlyfans called onlycats. I'll take toe beans over boob beans any day.

FYI I use two user accounts one for daily use and one for driving that has Google Maps and Android Auto. I use a Cape eSIM that works great until I switch to the Google user account which takes my SIM offline. Any ideas on where to begin to search for the problem, it worked the last time I had GOS and a Cape SIM.

I’ve been in a weird place the last year or so. I turn 50 this year, I moved back home to take care of my parents after 30 years of living around the world. The disconcerting part is when I left this area I drove a modified blue Volkswagen Jetta, the stores played contemporary music of the mid 90’s. I’m now back, I drive a blue VW and the store play oldies which means mid 90’s rock. I go into stores I used to go into driving the same type of car and hear the same type of music.

I'll elaborate. I believe we're in an AI bubble. AI companies are pushing the overton window on AI discourse. They want the most extreme anti-AI sentiment to be "Sure, it's an overhyped technology right now but there will be reasonable applications down the road". I want to see pushback on this. It doesn't matter if I can disable some AI feature in the settings. The fact that Mozilla is jumping on this bandwagon is deeply disappointing to me.

Get your flu shot asap folks.

And get your kids vaccinated. Three kids just died in Ottawa and the season has barely started.
