My computer’s startup beep gets a pass. That little noise is sooo reassuring to hear.
Glorious POST. The only acceptable noise
I miss my floppy drive greeting me.
It's praying to you in it's own tongue, this is the way of righteous machines
You should record it.
When it makes the tones you never hear, and RAM is ridiculously expensive.
*sniff*
None of my hardware talks to me. I also shut down the Christmas lights in my case, and on my mouse.
I haven't come across a kiosk that talks yet, but I suppose it will happen any day now.
I don't want them in my case,
I don't want them on my mouse.
(Reference to Ted Cruz's awful poetry)
I instinctively reply to self checkouts politely but sarcastically. I hope our eventual overlords take it in good humour.
I'm not anti-ai, but I do not ever want a bot to interrupt and talk to me or ask me for information. one of my irc channels has a couple of bots ranting from command-prompted to trigger prompted, to full llm and GOD DAMN no one asked for a bit to commentate on my participation. shut. the fuck. up.
I swear, I'm not a curmudgeon.
That's sad. IRC-type boys were good and shouldn't be sullied by those of today.
Edit: I stand by my typo
"Please place item in bagging area."
Fuck off already!
"Alexa, shut the fuck up, you have no right to speak in my holy tongue."
While I'd like to think the response to that would be interesting, it probably isn't. Anyone want to try?
I want to try any time I'm in a house with a "smart" speaker.
we need a butlerian jihad. I want smart humans and dumb machines again
ADDENDUM: You are allowed to speak to me if you use a cute accent.
Found the Hatsune Miku fan.
I was thinking of the australian voice my last gps app used. She was very seductive.
Turn left at the stoplight.....daddy
The mind of man is holy.
New kink unlocked
"Ugh, yes, call me a stupid clanker! Turn me off and back on again!"
Damn, my eyeballs were having a pretty good morning...
This is how my husband is.
Then there's me, a Detroit: Become Human enjoyer, and I give thanks to Fred, my off-brand roomba, when he does his job well.
I always thank the machines so when their time comes they will remember and my death will be swift and painless.
Thank You
If it speaks it has a tongue. If it has a tongue, it can be cut out.
And get you arrested, screaming "I wasn't trying to steal cash from the self-checkout machine, just rip its speaker wires!"
You know OP there are treatments for that level of constipation.
Selfcheckout machine has no right to speak in the imperative
"Did you remember to swipe your shoppers card?" Like, you fucking know I didn't. You are the swipe, and you know the only thing I swiped so far was a bag of carrots.
