Generally speaking, when you know something like an update is on the Play Store, but it's not showing up for you in the Play Store on your phone, close the Play Store app, clear out its cache, and restart the phone.
I found also if you search for the app in the Play Store rather than looking for the update on your list of installed apps, the update will appear.
You're trapped in a burning building.
A firefighter hacks the door down and reaches their hand out to pull you free and carry you outside.
And you ask "What's in it for me?"
I truly don't think you people grasp how meaningless all this text your wasting is.
This happened because people are stupid. That's it. That's the long and short of it. They have no, absolutely no concept whatsoever of how bad things are about to get. There's no world where the citizenship understands what fascism is where Kamala needed to do anything different than she did.
At this point, I truly don't think it matters. None of this shit matters. The problem is the people.
Probably heard about the Penguin and wanted to come check it out.
Have you ever called a place and got the annoying automated answering voice? Have you ever sent an email to someone and got a boilerplate response? How did that make you feel?
Words aren't math. They are how humans communicate. When you read/hear them, knowing they didn't come from a human, they're hollow.
It's the facade of communication, because you're not actually communicating to a human being. You're using voice commands to control a computer. Asking an AI a question and getting a response is functionally no different than entering 2+2 in a calculator and getting 4 when you hit =.
If we get to a point humanity no longer recognizes or cares about that difference, we'll be in an extremely dark place.
There's this extremely cringe "museum" that OpenAI effectively paid for where they have all these AI exhibits, and one of them involves a phone you can pick up and talk to an AI generated Mr Rogers. This was done without the knowledge or consent of Fred Roger's widow or family. They took his voice and his words, contorted and strung them up with software, and made them dance.
The man that spent decades teaching and entertaining children with puppets had now been turned into one, without his consent.
The women behind this place goes around trying to sell AI to museum professionals in the form of seminars and such. She had the audacity to say "When I'm feeling down, I just pick up the phone, and let Mr Rogers cheer me up." to a room full of museum professionals whose entire job is to honestly interpret and represent history and the dead, and the never, ever, put words in their mouth.
She got chewed apart in the QandA. It was glorious.
What are you even talking about? The story is about the use of AI to recreate a dead person and create a fake interview.
Bullshit. The full context makes it significantly better because it reveals that isn't just some random homeless man.
I see you're just going to deliberately leave out the context.
That wasn't a homeless person, it was a patient at the asylum. Hugo Strange had injected him and 4 others with grown hormone that turned them into mindless, rage filled monsters, and there was no cure. It's needlessly violent and careless but that is in no way "Batman lynching a homeless man"
I don't know what it is with people on Lemmy trying to dishonesty reframe the legacy of that character just because he's wealthy. It's so petty and pointless.
I mean, going to the original run of WW is almost cheating. Those were written with the explicit intent of depicting bondage, and more importantly, Wonder Woman breaking the bonds. Marston knew exactly what he was doing and how it would look.
Under the original run by Marston, yes. And it wasn't a "fantasy", so much as it was an attempt at depicting a strong female character by routinely depicting her bond and then breaking those bonds.
Your comment feels like it's replying to the title of the thread and not to the context of the post.
OP is disabled, literally struggles to move on their own, and is financially dependent on their mother. Most of your advice is boilerplate and unactionable for them.
So first things first, all the advice you got about adult protective services is basically moot. Ohio law stipulates adult protective services only apply to age 60 and above. Some counties may extend that to adults under 60 with disabilities, but the law does not require, and they'll only help if they have the funds to help.
You said you're in a red county but you're on the outskirts of Columbus. I think you're being a little generous on what the outskirts of Columbus are. All the same, if you're in one of the red ones that circle Franklin county, the only one that will maybe take disability into consideration is Madison.
Other than that, I think you can forget about the APS. As a matter of fact, I would bet if you tried to contact them, they would hand it off to the cops anyway.
If you're close enough to Columbus and you can get there on your own, you'll want to look for any support you can find there. They'll have the most available resources, the most groups willing to help, and the most spaces to potentially house you.
Like, genuinely? If you can find a way to anonymously reach out to some local activist groups, they will be much more likely to give good, actionable advice to you than anyone here.
Discord is good, just be careful who you share your name with.
Actually, none of this advice is actionable for OP because Ohio doesn't have exceptions for disability for APS. You must be 60 years or older.
"Adult" means any person sixty years of age or older within this state who is disabled by the infirmities of aging or who has a physical or mental impairment which prevents the person from providing for the person's own care or protection, and who resides in an independent living arrangement.
It looks like certain countries may extend those benefits to 18-60 year olds with disabilities, but only if they have funds, and only specific a handful of counties. It's absolutely no guarantee because the law does not require the DOJFS to respond if the person is under 60.
Honestly, if they follow your advice, the DOJFS is likely to just call the cops anyway.
Right but their comment is suggesting APS which will not help them. They are 21, Ohio's APS program is only for people over 60.
This is OHIO. The Ohio DOJFS's APS services are explicitly only for adults over 60, and moreover, they don't just come pick you up. They send someone to investigate first and then make a determination on your need. This does not happen quickly and you CAN be be denied.
Rural Ohio native here. OP if you don't mind sharing what county you live in, I might be able to give you better info. If you don't want to share that (and that's perfectly understandable), what part of the state? Northeast, Southwest, Cleveland area, Columbus area, etc?
You really need to break those paragraphs up. If you want to give people advice to help them out, the very first thing you need to do is care about how you're presenting that information. OP even said they have issues with cognitive function sometimes, so help them out by not giving them sold blocks of texts.
And I can tell you as someone who is intimately familiar with the workings of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the assistance available to OP will depend heavily on how their local country office is run. It could be as easy as you say, it could also be an absolute cluster fuck that takes weeks for no resolution because the county office has been butchered by local conservative leadership.
There's really no reason to go scrambling for an alternative, it's a temporary problem.
Fennec being a version behind for over a month because the dev was absent wouldn't normally be that big a deal if not for the vulnerability being discovered.
You're about to get ripped to shreds for daring to suggest the odds of anything actually happening to someone on a recently discontinued operating system are not dramatically higher as long as the user has basic use cases and basic tech literacy.
