  • Wow that is pretty damning. I hope Google is adding all this stuff in with the replacement of Assistant but it’s Google so I guess they won’t. I replaced Assistant with Gemini a while back but I only use it for super basic stuff like setting timers so I didn’t realise it was this bad.

    They did the same shit with Google Now, rolled it into Assistant but it was nowhere near as useful imo. Now we get yet another downgrade switching Assistant with Gemini.

    As I like to say, there’s nobody Google hates more than the people that love and use their products.








  • No it isn’t.

    EDIT:

    OK to explaind on this just a bit. Slack is a Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge. That’s all it is. If all you do is talk shit on there, it’s going to be a repository of shit talking and that’s not slacks fault.

    Personally, slack has saved me a countless amount of time at work. Having a technical problem? Search slack, someone probably asked about it and there’s a solution for that. If there’s no answer, asking in the right channel will usually get it answered pretty quickly.

    Especially as a remote company, slack or a tool like it is pretty indispensable for working with my team. And yes, we talk a lot of shit on there and those conversations happen in shit talking channels which means they don’t clutter the productive channels but I can still bond with my team a bit.

    I guess like any tool, it’s about how you use it. In this case though I don’t think you can blame the tool even though slack is definitely not perfect. It’s definitely far from Facebook, I honestly think you’d win some kind of record with that stretch.



  • The thing that worries me about nuclear power is that it takes something like 7 years to build, and renewables are on a declining cost curve. If you finish building your reactor 7 years from now and you can’t compete with other forms of power generation, what do you do with that asset? Nobody will buy it, you can’t sell the product. That’s not even accounting for the payback period of it either.

    I’m just a layman so I’m sure there are nuances I’m missing and I think we need all options on the table when it comes to moving away from fossil fuels. That said it seems like a very risky thing to be investing in to me.
