Does that mean you don't have to get down to the bus stop?

Republicans dismayed by Trump’s ‘bad’ and ‘unprepared’ debate performance by bitwaba in c/news@lemmy.world

The thing that allowed the Democrats to switch candidates was that the Democratic National Convention had not happened yet, which is when the candidate is officially locked in as the party's candidate on ballots for president.

The Republican National Convention was mid July. Trump and Vance are locked in. To swap candidates now would be considerably more difficult for them (not to mention having to fight against a self centered toddler that will refuse to let anyone other than him run).

Swapping out candidates would be good for the Republicans. The process of swapping out candidates would not be.

Trump falsely claims children are being forced into gender transition ops at school by bitwaba in c/news@lemmy.world

Trump's most successful political method was that he changed lanes faster than anyone could keep up. It allowed him to control the narrative. You're falling for the same tricks that won him the 2016 election. Don't engage.

Just call them weird and move on.

"Sure is weird someone is thinking about school children's genitalia instead of their choice of weapons for a school shooting, especially at a time like this." Done.

Well there's your problem. Don't think. Just bullshit.

I hope someone said "watch your 6" and they slammed the door on their ass.

Outsourcing emotion: The horror of Google’s “Dear Sydney” AI ad | The company suggests using AI to write a child’s fan letter and the ad is so bad that Google turned off comments for it on YouTube by bitwaba in c/technology@lemmy.world

"Dear Sydney" presents a world where Gemini can help us offload a heartwarming shared moment of connection with our children.

This is the problem I've had with the LLM announcements when they first came out. One of their favorite examples is writing a Thank You note.

The whole point of a Thank You note is that you didn't have to write it, but you took time out of your day anyways to find your own words to thank someone.

What's the best quality Linux Bluetooth audio experience for both me and the people I'm talking to? (lemmy.world)

My mini ITX motherboard doesn't have as many USB ports as I'd like. I've also decided 2024 is the year I try to kill off all my USB micro devices and replace them with USB-C (sorry PS4 controller). So I'm going to go Bluetooth as much as it makes sense (because of the limited USB ports), and use devices that charge over USB-C

For communication during gaming over discord I've been using a Logitech g933 for about 8 years with the USB receiver, so that's on the chopping block.

I'm quite happy with the sound quality for music I currently get out of my Bluetooth headphones. A2DP gives a really great experience. Using those same headphones as a communication device with Discord for both recording and playing audio is really awful though as it kicks back to HFP/HSP. So I was wondering if it's possible to do a dedicated Bluetooth microphone? And more importantly: does connecting a micrpphone-only device over Bluetooth still need to be in the HFP/HSP profile to work?

To be clear: my goal is to be wires-free for my audio solution, while having both a high quality audio output to hear my beloved gaming companions AND to have a high quality (or at least clear quality) audio input so my beloved gaming companions can hear me. The microphone built into Bluetooth headphones is generally shit and sounds like being on a cell phone call from 1999, even when using it on an android or Windows machine that gave custom Bluetooth stacks that don't fall back to HSP. That's why I'm interested in using a dedicated high quality (probably condenser?) microphone, I'm just unsure if that high quality makes it back to the computer when connected through Bluetooth.

From the last couple hours of searching and reading I can only seem to find information regarding Bluetooth recording+playback combined headsets and the A2DP/HSP stuff. I can't seem to find anything about regarding dedicated microphones quality over Bluetooth.
