Comparing this parliament with a vipers den of the lying career politicians we have in the UK (exposed again during the last budget announcement) I'd say Serbia is unlikely to have it worse.

Being ruled by the career politicians is NOT an advantage, and the innumerable examples from all around the world will prove that.

I would assume PhD holding people are smart enough to understand their limitations and strengths.

They've been elected during a very special events. They know what's expected of them. Looks like compared to the previous powers this lot at least gives the country a fighting chance.

Grim. If you have a kid it might be too much. I couldn't finish it; too much.

(an I'm completely unfazed by anything else. I loved Blood Meridian for example. The Road just takes me out)

So are we just holding it wrong, or is the distinct absence of any mechanism to tune/turn it off for our own good?

Also why you're so dismissive with the 2/4% figure while completely ignoring the TFA analysis and the other examples in their linked github issue?

Seriously, you're adding a feature that silently burns 15-25% tokens (that is burning money for API clients while hiding that fact), take away everything that could be used to mitigate it, and your response is basically, "eh, your numbers are unimportant and ours say it's negligible but since you complain we'll make it a bit cheaper".

Seriously, that looks so intentionally customer-hostile and revenue-friendly, but reading the room no one is surprised.

There are several surprisingly good horror games my daughter likes to play with me.

Roblox is mostly trash content form my perspective, but there are definitely gems in terms of playability.

Twilio is complicit so it rightly affects the number reputation.

An hour before sending this comment you read that BOTH sides asked the court for the extension and the COURT has granted it.

I don't think it was the same situation last time.

Not sure what axe you have to grind but it sure looks like you love to present only half of the truth.

Well, there's a reason I don't use Google Gemini at all, just in case their dumb, twitchy autobanner locks me out of everything.

Right, I see, so when there's an opportunity for a rant you get one specific, narrow meaning, discarding anything else, even if more relevant and sensible, and then you go off.

Maybe try Claude Code one day, then you'll recognise what that phrase was actually about.

All the best! You must need it with such attitude to life.

Ah, not being logged in can be a problem. Can pass the Play Services check if you're not logged into Play Services.

Complain to other hardware vendors that they sell insecure crap or do not release updates :/

And yeah, it'll be Motorola from the next year on, but a proper, first party cooperation. I think that Motorola wants to become the answer to the question: "what's the best, safest android smartphone?"

Weird, you should pass the basic and fail the remaining two:

(FWIW, sometimes when you _block_ the app from the Play Integrity API (in this pop-up) the app that wants to perform the check works, while it fails when you do not block it)

LOL, speaking about the projection.

OK, explain, what to the "just use Claude code" means in your opinion.

From your words it's literally using the coding harness to access Google Photos and fopy/backup these photos/videos, still within the Claude code.

Is this what you'd do? Because that's the only way I'd understand someone to go on such rant.

You're not syncing photos to anthropic services, you're not even using Claude code to run rclone for you, and specifically you're not ingesting every synchronised photo or video into the context.

You're not authorising CC to access your photos.

Claude Code is used to prepare the rclone run.

What do you mean that by using cc you're handing over your data (presumably synced photos) you're handing over your data"?

The DAC I specifically linked is the size of my index finger, but since you seem to be casually suggesting that the "shitiest locked full of crapware android phone" and PCs dac are comparable with the dedicated hires dac, maybe you don't really need a phone jack and your audiophile headphones :D

Take care!
