There's also the poorly advertised IBM-native S390 emulator. I worked on it over a decade ago, you could run S390 on PPC and X86 offically, and ARM and a few others were unofficial.


Gmail is going to be Google's System/390 mainframes.


According to Homeland Security, within 100 miles of the border is a "constitution free zone". So there's a whole lot to unpack before we even get to miranda rights.


Historia Civilis somehow distills subjects down to squares in a great way. Entertaining and informative. Fantastic channel.


If you read the article, you'll see that they did in fact meet the full requirements by August 2021. The EAU plus criteria were met quickly, but they did meet every criteria normally used.


All the doctors and medical professionals were forced to get vaccinated in early 2021. If something went wrong, the very people that we depend on could have suffered mass casualties. And many of them did suffer from effects from the vaccine, even though they likely had already contracted COVID beforehand and a vaccine was unnecessary. This is the problem with mandates and anti-science thinking.


>many of them did suffer from effects from the vaccine

what does many in this sentence mean? are you claiming that a large percent of health professionals "suffered effects"?


I feel like the song suggestions also vary depending on the music service. For example the other day, "Play cicada by Igor" got me Cicadidae by Igorrr on YT Music (this is what I wanted), but got me Igor's Theme by Tyler the Creator. ???? So I tried "Play cicadidae by I-G-O-R-R-R" and I got Cicada by Good Kid.

That said I feel like no matter the music service it's a 50/50 shot each time if it plays the song I want. No matter how many times before I've played it or asked for it.

The latest Gemini update for Android Auto also absolutely ruined the voice control for Waze. It was already bad, but now Android Auto is basically unusable by voice.


It's unclear to me why I'd want to use this over libcaca or similar? The demoscene has made really excellent ASCII rendering for decades, and this seems like it has less options and less understandable output. If this is just a fun personal project "just because" then cool! That's awesome! But for actual use cases I'd much rather use libcaca.


Considering YouTube's current level of detection of absolutely anything, this will likely be an absolute disaster with no way of appealing to a real human.


Alexa+ has been a massive downgrade for me. It's extremely laggy and constantly misunderstands me, whereas the old one never did. "Set a timer for 20 minutes" used to be instant and just work, I did this the other day and it took 10 seconds to respond and set a timer for 10 minutes.


I had the same experience until I upgraded my Echo (we have a few, but the one in the kitchen gets 99% of the voice commands).

Just looked it up in my order history: I went from an "Echo Show 5 (1st Gen, 2019 release)" to a "Amazon Echo Show 8 (newest model)".

Whether I should have needed to upgrade is a separate question, but, yeah.


Same here. I can see why LLM-driven voice assistants makes sense to product people in the abstract, but introducing non-deterministic behavior into a device I primarily use to help with timekeeping and control lights is nothing but a regression.


Every time I'm reminded of this article about package managers. https://www.gingerbill.org/article/2025/09/08/package-manage...
