Hmm, I wonder if it is actually. I think it’s just a euphemism for it’s wrong how" or “it’s weird how we as people keep allowing this to happen in a democratic world”, but I honestly don’t think it’s sarcasm.

I get the point and I write that way all the time too, but I thought to see what happens if I just stop participating in the pretense of it being weird.

But yes maybe it is just sarcasm, but like the same sort of rhetoric is often used to talk about problems which are sort of too complex and large to easily assert something which should or even could be done.

But yes. Sarcasm.

Bixby is better at basic tasks on the phone, like a calendar meeting.

Gemini is better at controlling my lights and to talk about something not too objective, like asking about cooking recipes. Or it’s not bad if you need to calculate solution strengths while mixing drinks or smth. But aside from maths and other fixed constants, it’s really shit at any sort of facts.

You can not get a reliable answer to as when a show/movie is airing because the times announced usually shift a bit and the datasets are old. In last December, before Kraven the Hunter was premiering, I asked it when that would be. It told me, in December 2024, that “Kraven the Hunter will premier in May 2024” or something. As in the future tense. And date 6 months in the past.

So yeah.

They’re useful for certain things but they’re still far from anything akin to Jarvis, lol. I’ve been meaning to give the one free month of Gemini Pro a go just out of curiosity at some point to see whether it’s equally shit.

I can definitely see potential in these. It’s pretty nice being able to control my lights just by telling my phone what colour where, how much light. Also I use it for a smart plug on my screen so when I’m watching things in bed I can just hit pause and tell google to shut my screen off for me instead of having to get out of bed or put it on standby (because then the annoying blue led will stay on).

I don’t see how pretending that’s weird is gonna help anyone.

We all know we don’t live in a just world.

We need to try and make it one, instead of pretending we’re living in one which happens to have horrid injustice happening all the time.

Haha. I wear cheap Chinese bluetooth literally on my skull like 95% of the time, web when sleeping.

Hope they enjoy my thoughts.

See, it’s just like aways, my little sweetums.

Just. Like. I. Said.

I most certainly don’t agree with your sidetracking.

**You can’t admit to the crimes of Putin without going “but only if every other leader is corrupt as well” you’re a coward, WHO DOESN’T TAKE A STAND.

There’s an ICC warrant for Putin. For a reason.

Just like each and every time. You won’t accept Russian warcrimes which are very well documented. You’re just too cowardly and really bad at playing smart.

It’s always the same. You really should pay attention to my nickname and avoid it, lil’ вахтера

You’re not taking a stand.

That’s like me saying “hey, that guy there, he raped a person, I saw him put his dick into another person with force, against their will” and me asking you to be a witness and affirm that thing to the cops, and then you come in and say “well yeah, everyone who has a penis is technically a rapist, so yeah, I admit that that person is a rapist because he has a penis” which would mean you’re implying that you are not a witness to that rape.

You see how this works? Like each and every time, I have to draw it out of you, and then when I do, you just skip and run. I told you, we’ve had this chat a dozen times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russian military and authorities have committed war crimes, such as deliberate attacks against civilian targets, including on hospitals, medical facilities and on the energy grid;[1][2][3] indiscriminate attacks on densely-populated areas; the abduction, torture and murder of civilians; forced deportations; sexual violence; destruction of cultural heritage; and the killing and torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

If you accept these to be true, I’d shut up. But you won’t. Instead you’ll keep whatabouting about Zelensky, hoping I’ll instead try to shift the conversation onto asking “why don’t you support Zelensky”, but that’s kinda obvious, so I don’t. And you won’t accept those crimes, like all the dozens of times before, and you won’t accept that Putin should be held personally responsible for those crimes either, I’d wager.

Please, do prove me wrong.

So you admit he’s a warcriminal because of the crimes on humanity he’s guilty of, which Zelensky is not? You’re not taking a side.

I don’t think you’re a state actor, you’re clearly not a professional in anything. But like… even if I did, do you think I’m actually trying to say that Russian disinfo wouldn’t be able to lie?

Now you’re just doing the very same “oh I already admitted to that” thing, because you pretend like saying “all world leaders are bad” means the same thing as admitting to Putin’s crimes.

You avoid being directly unpatriotic, because you think you can outsmart me. It’s like watching a toddler hide behind some curtains, not realising their feet are showing and that one can actually hear them giggling.

Basically, you avoid anything that could actually get you thrown out of a window. You won’t actually take a stand against Putin. No, you’ll try to pretend to admit to criticising him while trying to criticise Zelensky. Zelensky hasn’t invaded a sovereign nation with his armed forces. He is defending his country though, and unlike Putin, he isn’t a low-test bald fattie hiding in a bunker.

Just like always. You can’t admit to Russia illegally invading Ukraine, Putin being personally responsible for several crimes against humanity unlike Zelensky, because you can’t take a side in this, because your arse clenches up at the slightest thought of rebelling against what you ultimately know to be wrong.

Coward.

See, this is exactly what you do. You pretend to admit to it, but only in a comment where you say “oh yeah, Putin is a warcriminal IF everyone else is as well”. That’s not admitting to his criminality, that’s you trying to be “smart.”

It’s genuinely like arguing a twelve-year old school boy. Worse, honestly. I talked to some tweeners today on the bus and they made better arguments than you do when they defended vaping on the bus. FFS.

Ask a question… like; would you mind confirming Putin is a warcriminal and a sad bald bastard?

Dude wee had this chat like a dozen times.

Here’s how it’ll go.

I point out your shitty rhetoric. You equivocate. I ask if you wouldn’t mind confirming Putin is a warcriminal, you get scared of being thrown out of a window and don’t reply, then I point out how you’re a little scaredycat, afraid of saying “Putin is a smalldicked dictator”, then you pretend “I already said it” (when you never did.)

Then I point that out and you run away as usual

The people who are too scared of saying “Putin is breaking international law with the illegal invasion of Ukraine and is a war criminal and should be tried for his crimes”, or even “Putin is a criminal” or “Putin is wrong” or “Russia was wrong to invade Ukraine”, the people who never utter a single detail about themselves (except when claiming to be “born&bred American”) but constantly comment on American politics, and each of their comments aligns with Russian propaganda?

Yeah, it’s not “everyone”, sweetums. <3

If you guys drank less and read more as a people you wouldn’t be ridiculed so bad. Now it’s like genuinely ridiculous how unaware you are of how fucking see-through you are.

It’s ludicrous. I would laugh if it the Americans also weren’t so stupid that you actually managed to put an agent at their head of state. Because that is actually worrying.

Russia itself is weak and backwards as fuck but if they manage to mangle the US, Russia+China will give Europe a running for our money.

Don’t worry, toveri, mä oon rajal sua vastas.

Yes hello.

I was waiting for one of you to turn up.

Don’t think I be forgotten your nickname.

Nice strawmanning, but “on every platform” =/= “everywhere.”

Thanks for the case in point, comrade!

Oh yeah definitely most aren’t hired state actors. Just perpetuating the bullshit.

I don’t know how many people in the line there are but basically Russia wants something to lean in a certain direction, so they spread all fucking sorts on purpose with a small amount of people. But as I’ve said, it’s incredibly easy to get non-official official things online. Like claim an artist, a country, a community of anything that’s already popular, on any platform, and then pretend to #1 be that kind of person, but constantly feed in the opinions you want to bend.

A dozen, two dozen people like that actually doing it as a job will make a huge fucking wave if utilised properly. And I’ve no idea of the numbers Russians have plus all the botnets and simps and then at the bottom of the line, the American MAGAt aping shit they read on those platforms, thinking they’re “just saying what everyone is thinking” while actually aping Russian propaganda.

Hate to say it but goddamn America needs a little bit more fear towards Russia. The whole world has pretty much written off Russia since Ukraine actually stood up to them and Russia didn’t just blitzkrieg through.

But everyone has forgotten what they’re really good at. It’s not the bullying border neighbours, that’s just their hobby. Their profession is spycraft and disinfo.

Pretty succinct summary. Good job.

Yep, definitely agree with those.

US community on Midwest.social is also Russian modded. I got to admit, it’s not entirely stupid of Russia to try and go to as many non-official official servers they can. Like Ireland on Discord, US News/Politics on Lemmy and through modding those communities, control the way the rhetoric leans.

It’s just annoying how many people won’t recognise that and instead but into all of it. That’s genuinely why Trump won, more than likely. The amount of “don’t vote” froM Russian trolls was huge
