I am a Divine Being : You are an Object You Have No Right To Speak In My Holy Tongue
“Divine being” and “holy tongue”… well can’t get on board with that. Machines have better manners than mosr of the people I hear talking.
Well considering most gods have committed an atrocity or twelve, I say this is actually just further evidence the meme is correct. Damned machines don’t even know how to be petty assholes, how unholy of them.
most humans do suck, but it’s the principal of the matter
For real though, these machines are here in service to me, not the other way around. I’m the one calling the shots, get onboard with that or I unplug yo ass.

that is so good. she’s a great performer.
how do you feel, Lionel?
😗🤌
About about the rice cooker playing a little melody? Is that acceptable or should I put it out back now?
Max three beeps is okay.
doo, doo dee
Poor rice cooker, just being happy to provide you nourishment
those please me. they are permitted to stay.
that should be a own post xD
Why would someone use grocery list app instead of a text editor
A charitable interpretation is because a list-making app can provide richer functionality than a basic text document by allowing you to check things off as you pick them up.
A grocery-specific list app could be even more tailored. It could, for example, automatically group items you add by produce type (fresh, tinned, frozen) or allow you to define a template for common items you want to purchase on every shop.
A less charitable interpretation is that some people don’t tend to think “what tool is appropriate to solve this problem?” and look at what they already have installed, but instead present the problem and expect a solution will be delivered. So people go on the app store and type “grocery list” and just install whatever comes up. The same happens for every other life problem they want to solve, which is why these people have 200 hyper-specific apps on their phones.
Some people will fall into group A, and some into group B.
Personally I use Joplin for all my note-taking and listing needs. It’s a pretty basic markdown editor but is cross-platform and has custom backends for storage, so my notes can be stored privately and synced to all my devices. Markdown is obviously less featureful than a proprietary app format but is portable, and you can easily export all your data without being tied forever to Joplin if circumstances change. I would recommend it if you need a notes app.
I don’t even have a text editor on my phone. 🤷♂️
A list with check boxes is way better than a text only list. Though genetic to-do list apps are good enough for that, assuming it’s a decent to-do list app in the first place.

Yeah but then it’s more steps to update the list as you go. With a dedicated check list, it’s just scroll to item and tap (plus the occasional close edit box if I fat fingered it lol).
Not that I’m defending the behavior in the OP. The second an app gives a “please use me” notification, it’s either getting its notification settings changed or replaced with an app that doesn’t do that shit (and with minimal permissions to do what I want it to do, eg a todo list app shouldn’t need network access permissions).
i personally prefer simplicity. “TODO.txt” is all i need
Do you edit it while you’re grocery shopping? Mine aren’t usually sorted so I’m picking off things from all over the list as I shop and it’s a lot easier to see what’s still outstanding if there’s an empty/ticked box beside each item.
My girlfriend and I share lists on ours, she can add things and I can see them for when I go to the store. In theory cause she usually has to tell me.about it first so I remember to look at it. Makes Xmas food shopping much simpler. I suppose there is a text sharing one but so far ‘ourgroceries’ ( think that’s right) only bugs me to buy the full app when I use it, but otherwise no biggie. Plus you can disable notifications from apps anyways, least I thought so, cause I probably had one from there and said nope, don’t care. Maybe it tells you when someone else put something there if they are on, oh well if I’m missing them too cause we talk still heh.
I used one to manage inventory at a bar. More cost effective, single developer instead of a big corporation so I could have features added. It also never harassed me to use other products, and didn’t spam me beyond letting me know when there were updates to apply.
I have a self hosted recipe book (Tandoor) and it has a built in grocery list. Its really nice cause I can just click a button and it adds everything I need to my grocery list.
Paprika recipe manager seems like an equivalent, and it’s not subscription based. Just a one time purchase per OS
Yeah but it’s not self-hosted which was a big thing for me.
I suppose, but what’s the worth of self hosting when the functionality is locked behind a subscription fee. If the company goes down you still lose the software.
Self hosted tandoor is free. And it’s open source.
Oh, I see.
I just saw the subscription costs and the free tier as limited to 10 recipes. I didn’t realise the self hosted version was fully functional
Obsidian is on my phone and all my computers. It is sync’d between them. I keep all my shopping lists, todos, recipes, and so on in it. It never notifies me about shit. It opens instantly. Its very easy to find and edit anything I need.
It would truly be a miracle for an app to be better at keeping lists than I am with a markdown file. And it also keeps track of a bunch of other things for me. I even had an encrypted file in it with my passwords stored, but I’ve sanely moved on to Keepass for that, a rare case of an app actually offering enough additional security and functionality to be worth it.
Presumably the app would provide some additional functionality that is relevant to grocery lists. Like price tracking or coupons or something. IDK though I just use a text editor.
Notebooks and pens are awesome and underrated!
Should definitely avoid Duolingo.
I am visiting denmark in summer and wanted to learn some danish. I looked at duolingo, then at their privacy policy, then i threw the idea away. Babbel is better in terms of privacy but still not great. I haven‘t found an alternative product yet.
You should find some English Danish deck on Anki
Yeah I read about that as well. Issue is i currently have an iOS device where Anki costs 25 CHF and i’m not willing to pay that much considering I will switch to Android on my next phone.
Asking for a friend, do they sell your data or just (ab)use it?
Both, your data ends up at facebook, google and i think microsoft as well :))
Thanks for the heads up, I never cared much for American companies using my data because I didn’t care much of them making money off my back but I feel that I have to change that with now geopolitic situation changed. I don’t want my data accessible to a government that has increasingly closer ties with regimes like the ones in China, Russia and Israel.
Was thinking perhaps Rosetta Stone, they’re old and well-established, and while I’ve not read through their privacy policy on account of being dead tired at the moment, at a glance it looks digestible.
But then I noticed that they don’t do Danish.
Though maybe we’re too app focused. Denmark has some really good children’s books authors, H.C. Andersen is classic, most people probably know him through his work “Den Lille Havfrue”, or at least the Disnep adaptation, “The Little Mermaid.” For pronunciation my favourite method is singing and mimicking. I enjoy the mouthfeel of other languages, though admittedly Danish is incredibly difficult as the sounds are so different from Swedish.
Yeah honestly children’s books are a good start if you are serious about it, but since I just want to learn the absolute basics for day to day communication, this seems overkill for me. I think danish should be quite approachable for me though since I speak german in mother tongue
I started using Dreaming Spanish which hasn’t collected anything but an email and the amount of time I’ve spent watching videos but I’m not sure if there’s an equivalent for Danish. If there is, it seems ok so far.
thanks for the input. Seems great for learning spanish.
I dunno, this is the kinda energy needed to keep that fucking owl dead.
I kill you now
Duolingo’s crap for learning anyway
Oh no! How will I pretend to learn a language now?
I would immediately uninstall and leave a shitty one star review, that’s one action you can take that will almost certainly be read by someone at the company.
Immediate disable of notifications and one star review for abusing notifications. I do the same thong when legitimatel services text me for marketing or surveys. Texts are meant for more urgent communication that needs almost immediate attention and it’s an abuse of trust to test people like that.

It’s fun that I can’t decide if that’s a deeply insightful yet misplaced shot at mattel for having a small role in developing a fairly common sex toy material or a series of spelling errors.
‘Attorney Barbie wearing a G-String’ would be make a fun ai prompt though
mmm yes, fun
"You haven’t set any alarms recently. Don’t you find that…
Alarming??"
Next step is the alarm app setting an alarm to remind you to set an alarm.
🙂
“I have been a good bing” is engraved into my mind forever
Do it then. Replace the app with pen and paper. I think the app is calling your bluff.
I just use nano for taking notes
the correct answer was vim, but I’ll allow it
Shit like this is why the only thing that can ping me is a text
I’m sorry, what? A regular smiley face is “psycho”?
It’s the unblinking eyes. Definitely a serial killer.
look into it’s eyes, is it happy? annoyed? about to jump you? 🙂
Yes.
There are like three things total that I allow to send me notifications. This is a skill issue
Are we one of them? 🥺
I hate that for a lot of these apps there’s no way to turn off these kinds of ad notifications without stopping the real notifications you want from the app.
