Still pas d'amis

Losers.

Especially you, Be-.

Feel free to invite Tzvia; not Raven.

Thanks.

A replacement of sorts

It's hard to correlate my quantity of writing to anything in particular other than time of day. Whether I'm in school or working full time doesn't really affect the quantity, though I certainly consider the quality of my writing was best back when I was studying full time at U of T. I really miss the architecture so I go there often for my personal studies, but I never really made any lasting friendships there, which is a shame. It did feel like I had a solid group of people I could hang out with whenever I was part of the community, so maybe I could rejoin some extra-curricular groups at Hart House or something.

What I actually wanted to write about is AI's influence on whether I blog or not.

I need to come here more often, that's for sure. I'm not abandoning you, my precious Kaleidoughscope. I still refuse to use the @ moniker for what my online presence; who cares.

This is my online presence, and AI won't change that. I really should stop "arguing" with the chatbots because that's what they are: a smarter, more efficient SmarterChild (MSN... woe is me) chatbots with some creative palm piloting here and there.
I should come here and argue with myself instead; it feels the same way, funnily enough.

I've been using Gemini lately, because Im boycotting chatgpt because they charged me for the actual app without my express permission. Google Play store continues to frustrate me; I actually am starting to miss Windows Phone again, I can't believe it.
I mean I did have a flagship Windowa Phone's but I was so desperate for apps; I've conditioned myself to barely use them WHICH is why I'm peeved that OpenAI/Microsoft charged me unwillingly and the only lending ear was.... a different AI. 

Mehta's AI is quirky  it picks up quick on context, somewhat like Gemini that at least integrates pretty well with the rest of my Google apps on my OnePlus 11.

Well, not much of an update, but there you have it: a classic free write, barely any typos, and almost all written whilst waiting for my broccoli soup to come to a boil.

Here's a picture before I sign off (and no, no AI helped me write, cook, or code today):

Why did it take 9 years....?

.... to put Legacy controller scheme in Overwatch 1/2?

WTF is wrong with you greedy corporate ********?!

Why can you add like a million hero-specific settings but you can't offer decent input controls?

MSFT-ActiVivendiBlizz, WTF.
