How to keep Voyager from closing?

I think iOS basicially closes an app when you leave it, and that's partially the reason they have such good battery life.

If you have a custom ROM like graphene, or Volla's ROM I think by default the settings are similar to iPhone where basicially nothing runs in the background and doesnt constantly ping home to google. You have to dig in the settings and let it happen.

If you have a low spec phone that might be another reason it closes it out when doing another task.

Before or after the tiny home van conversion fad? Also what is your population density like. Are you within the first or second ring of a major city in your state?

Are you in the united States or the east coast. Do your parking lots for most shopping malls and outlets have those little blue light cameras on a little trailer? Is there third party security vehicles doing patrols through the parking lots every hour?

Sure you can probably sleep on the side of the road and stuff or off where no one can notice you. But there was a time when Walmart of other stores encourages you to stay over night for your road trips or whatever. Now its something everyone looks out for. If you are on the west coast its common for homeless people to find a beaten up trailer for 500 bucks and park it some where and its a big ordeal to get them out. So anyone staying in a car overnight is basicially the same threat.

You say that as if I'm not allowed to talk shit in another instance for no reason.

And no I did not read the rules because I didn't really care to check it out. I clicked on one persons profile to try to find the comment and seen their long comment thread but that's about it.

One thing I feel sympathy for is he feels the need to use Ai to populate the instance to make it feel less dead. To me that means their goal is to try to improve this place and this is a shared passion between many users. I'm still new here so maybe I'm being too harsh and don't get proper manners for this platform, but I don't think that I shouldn't avoid saying something because of it. And what does it matter anyways? Its like shouting to the void. I'm not there in his domain getting banned or shit talking them, and if I did I would expect to get banned and that's their right.

I have a friend who went voluntarily homeless. You can't really even do that anymore. You have to go some where shitty where theres lots of blm land, and then you lose out on resources you'd get from pan handling.

Hes charismatic and doesnt do drugs. Hes more a drinker and spends a lot of time at bars getting free drinks and food. He's train jumped and went to a few communes and it sounds like constant work just to do basic shit like take a shit.

Like all this mall cop security shit gets fed into palantir and local law enforcement you can't even sleep in a parking lot in your car anymore without getting a knock on your window. Its just hard to be homeless, and he tells me he tried one of those homeless assistant camps and he said it felt like a prison or a interment camp. They had barbwire to keep them IN lol. It doesnt sound too far off from that deep space nine episode about the bell riots. I think we are in the same year the Bell riots take place too ironically.

Kind of sad that they can't see what they are doing is rather selfish of them. They seem to justify it by saying its harmless fun, but I don't see how intentionally mixing in Ai images with authentic images is anything but malicious. It probably doesnt help Ai "leaders" like elon musk and Prager U are doing the same thing and just replacing history with weird racist the south won the war shit. So these people don't see how destructive they are to the internet, because the people they look up to spit on the internet daily. I can only assume hes a elon fan due to the heavy space themes.

They also don't see themselves as pro ai or anti Ai, but just a person existing inbetween the precieved "drama" which is kind of an easy out for being a shitty person and not having to justify their actions.

I think a person like this is just selfish and would steal candy from a baby if that was their favorite candy. Kind of like the inability to think of someone else, due to the obsession about the self.

Georgia families face losing their homes to make way for AI data centers: "It's theft"

I don't understand how we are supposed to be running out of fossils fuels, are in a war that is physically limiting the amount of oil that can be accessed, and also have to deal with global warming... And still say we need roughly 30+ data centers accross the country where each single data center uses more power than half the state they are in.

Like it doesn't make sense how we are supposed to be charging our electric cars if data centers are consuming all the power, and expecting you to pay for their power bill.

Does any of this make sense to anyone with a human brain that isn't infected by this death cult?

Not even hating. Literally only gave my male cat two bites of perschuto and he got a bladder blockage.

Was painful, he almost died, and it costed 6 grand. We didn't have pet insurance then so that was a lesson I did not forget.

I seen my cat in intense pain and almost die, I am almost slightly offended you would call me a hater for trying to warn another person of what could happen. If anyone doesnt know yes over salty foods and fatty foods are bad for cats, especially male cats. You can call someone a hater for sounding passionate but I think you should understand where that passion comes from, and its a one of concern. Its not someone telling you what to do, it's someone warning you.

Its more common than I thought. The vet said it effects 1/10 male cats, and more and more it seems to be a issue these days. Our vet says its the cat food everyone gets these days doesnt help.

And I know the person wasn't calling me out directly, I didn't make a single comment until I read that one and decided to reply. I was more pointing out how this does happen and I would say is something to be concerned about, and how I see that same concern in a few other comments. Those are warnings of experience, and I wouldnt of known that if I haven't gone through the same thing.

Listen man I just don't want someone to feel like I did. We had to drive 2 hours at mid night to the nearest emergency vet and they had to keep him there for two days. I had to do sidejobs every weekend to pay off the bill. Thankfully they didn't start charging interest until maybe a year after and we got it payed off before that no problem.

What makes it worse is cats dont show pain. My wife did not seemed concerned what so ever that he wouldnt get out of bed for the whole day, and was really dismissive when I pointed out he acts like he doesnt want to sit down or lay down. It wasn't until I googled the symptoms said its deadly before she decided maybe it was serious. I just dont think most people "get" cats, or are expecting them to communicate to you like a dog.

SoftBank's Son says AI will need $5 trillion per year by 2040, dismisses bubble talk

I think people under estimate how much just shit talking this stuff at every avaliable chance really hurts their bottom line.

Like we can effect most ai search algorithms and the LLMS just kind of go along with whatever and fill in the blanks and make it even more believable. Shareholders for the first time don't have to hire a third party to figure out what customers think of their product. The second they announce it they can tell their ai to "summarize the internet" just to hear us shitting on it relentlessly. People used to have to think for themselves, now within 5 seconds they can pull put their phone, ask google, and whatever that tells them is the truth they walk with forever.

So if enough people tell the same lie on reddit it just becomes a fact in google or other platforms. Not right away but any Ai that does websearches can't really decern fact from fiction if something is unique. It can some what it depends what the lie is, or decern somethings.

You need a lie that is a sentence that doesnt really exist, or can't be construed as something else that is real for it to work on like a small sample size and on reddit. But if 25 or so people all told varrying different stories of an account where "Mr bean was attacked by a swan by playing mini golf" it would show up on google. It helps if people lie and say they are from a position of authority so if someone claimed to be a doctor on the scene and describes what happened, google gemeni loves that shit and will quote you in the summary. You repeat that a few times and it ends up in training data which has to be manually set as a keyword/phrase to bypass the baked in output. So LLMs that are known to fail are filtering out the lies, and it only gets worse the longer you use it.

If you want to push a big lie you need a few fake news websites that are just ai generated slop that no one reads and is only meant for AI search optimization. Again google loves gobbling up data and will present it as fact clear as day if theres enough other noise repeating the same thing. You want reddit posts repeating it, a few YouTube videos with that in the title, Facebook posts, etc. Basicially a bot farm with ai bots all having these fake conversations about the lie.

In a way if you just shout something enough you make it true. I think thats partially why its more important to make sure everyone gets Identified on the internet so they can't be making such harmful words that hurt the poor billionairs profits.

We dont fully know what cause the blockage, it could be litter, stress, food, etc.

The vet never told us specifically what could of caused it because she had no way to know. We assumed it was the meat snacks we gave him because that was one of the few variables that made sense to us that the vet listed. Could of even been the food brands we where feeding him at the time, could be the dusty litter.

Regardless we didn't risk any variable and changed to his prescription diet, the litter, and the works and we havent had a issue sense. I still think it was the meat but honestly could of been the liter, or various other things. Certainly not going to start testing to prove my hypothesis.

Also he's 5-6 years old with 4 of those years with us. From those years before the bladder blockage yeah I would say he was a normal healthy cat with no issues before that. Most of the time you don't get a cat with preexisting conditions, you just end up with a cat and you presume its healthy until proven otherwise. He could of had this before but it took a long time for the issue to surface.
