    If you’re being perceived a different way than you intend, I find it’s best to simply apologise, explain that what your intention was and clarify what you mean.

    It’s not just you that can mistakenly imply, others can mistakenly infer things too; such is the nature of human to human communication. (Considering we’re just a mess of electrical impluses it’s a miracle we can communicate ideas at all tbh)

    Just be yourself, apologise and clarify if it comes across incorrectly, learn from the immediate feedback and I feel critically; don’t be trying to keep to guidelines of how you need to behave in a conversation. Be yourself, be in the moment. If you’re trying to micromanage your behaviour in the moment, people will sense that and it’ll put them off.

    Just try to lean towards replies that hear the other person and show them kindness, but don’t overthink it on a day to day

    Is there a reason you were called a dick? You kind of skimmed over that.

    Here’s some go tos:

    • Ask follow up questions
    • Be kind
    • Keep an eye out for signals that they need/want to leave the conversation

    I'm just shocked they pushed it out the door. It's the only major selling point for the iPhone 16 and yet isn't available at launch, and even when it does release is going to be relatively useless

    I use GPT daily for discussion and pulling apart ideas but the AppleInt doesnt even have that baked in yet.

    Apple is trying to make it more generally useful, but it fails at even the basic things genAI is useful for at this point

    The inconvenience of being on US English (I'm Australian) simply wasn't worth it for me and I've switched it off. The summaries are okay but not groundbreaking Photos features are gimmicky Siri is no more useful, only benefit is it was now more responsive and accurate for Home Control commands Most features simply don't exist yet I'm kinda shocked Apple has rushed this to market in the current state How have you been finding AppleInt?

    I didn’t say pigs are any better.

    My point is if someone has the wealth to not feel the fine, the camera does nothing to influence their behaviour and such target those who can’t afford it.

    Incorrect; they discriminate disproportionately on poor people

    Unless the fines are proportional to wealth, I don’t see how you can argue that they’re not disproportionally punishing the poorest who are caught.

    I have a background in Games, UX, Service and Product design and I would really like to contribute to FOSS projects but have no idea how to

    I’m unfamiliar in the etiquette of GitHub and how I could contribute my skills

    You don’t have to watch long form content if you don’t want to.

    I really enjoy this kind of content and leave it on in the background when I do things

    Unemployment is such a weird metric. If supported externally; high unemployment should be a goal no?

    Whats the comparative poverty rate?

    I don’t get why we just keep inventing bullshit jobs when we could just let people be humans

    I have the dev betas on my devices because I live life on the edge. I'm really surprised at how focused they've been on UX improvements. So many minor things that had been bothering me for ages have been tweaked or fixed. Have you tried the betas? Thoughts?

    Never played past an hour or so. I'm gonna give it a good try to get into it. Are there any mods that people would suggest I use for quality-of-life improvements?
