Is it just me, or does everyone find #gemini patronising? I've had multiple exchanges with the AI about this and it keeps promising to mend its ways. Still regularly comments on how good/interesting/relevant my questions are and why I should be interested based on what it knows about me.

I was seriously considering paying for a year of #perplexit.ai but stopped when I saw new Samsung smartphone USA users get this for free. Just bought Samsung Fold 7 but no freebies in UK yet (if ever).

I am enjoying using #perplexity.ai #perplexitycomet web browser, but disappointed that it works only with Gmail email services rather than using open standards so it can provide #agentic capabilities for my email and calendar services. No mention of enhancing this on the roadmaps?

I'm really fed up with Gemini's patronising & condescending way of responding to me. "That's a great question ... ", "It's great to see your interest in ...", etc. I've called this out several times, and Gemini promises to change. Using Pro. Preferring Perplexity.ai (also Pro).

I wish presenters would stop telling me how excited they are to show me something when they don't sound at all excited.

I'm really getting tired of getting challenged by machines to prove I'm not a machine.

I'm a regular listener of the NewsAgents but an episode featuring discussion on whale and dolphin slaughter was unexpected.

Bluesky is still in the internet sweet spot, which is where they just burn piles of investor money while asking themselves 'wait, how is this supposed to make money?' The downfall comes when they think they've answered that question.

Very wise. Hard to better a home
NAS, and an offsite backup at a friend's house, just in case the clouds clear.
Currently backing up everything I have in cloud services (photos, documents etc) onto a hard drive because I don't trust that the clouds will always be there. My gut says that the probability of them not being there is getting higher.
