@evacide I've already removed Gemini via adb once. I'll do it again if it comes back after this forced opt-in.

I am not going to tell anyone that the Gemini app package is actually called com.google.android.apps.bard. I am also not advising anyone to follow these instructions:

1. Download and install ADB on your computer from the Android SDK Platform-Tools package

2. Enable Developer Options on your Android device:

3. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information

4. Tap "Build Number" seven times

5. Go to Settings > Developer options > USB debugging

6. Connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable

7. Open Command Prompt or Terminal in the folder where ADB is installed

8. Verify the connection via command prompt or terminal by running the command: adb devices

9. Then run one of the two following commands:

adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.bard

Or

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.bard

10. Then verify the package has been removed by running: adb shell pm list packages | grep bard

Why do we say 'slept like a baby'? Babies wake up every two hours crying.

I want to sleep like my cat. 14 hours, no responsibilities, zero regrets.

Now for sale: Failure as a Service.

For 10 cents per minute, AWS will you charge you to break the infrastructure you are renting from them (while also charging you for renting it).

docs.aws.amazon.com/fis/latest

This method of success-through-failure was pioneered by Netflix which built a "chaos monkey" to randomly break 10% of their infra at any time. This forced Netflix to design everything to be redundant and self-healing.

Go forth and fail like no others dare fail!

The caliber of the applicants for the Django Fellow position really is incredible. Over a hundred people, and it's tough to get it down to even a shortlist.

Django is 20 years old. I’ve been building applications with it for the best part of that. And do you know what? Every single day I’m still having fun. 🥰 #Django

Contrary to the ALT text, it's not the ladder that melted here, but the concrete directly beneath the ladder. The ladder is a good conductor of electricity stay relatively cold and transfers the energy from the overhead line directly to the concrete, which, due to its high resistance, heated up considerably and melted at a high temperature.
Thx to @Laberpferd, @australopithecus & @dianea for information and explanations. 👌

If you use #Django REST Framework, have a look at my recent github.com/loopwerk/drf-action package. I’m really proud of it, and I love it quite a lot.

If you see someone in an emacs-themed shirt, that will be the only thing they're wearing - they don't have any other clothes b/c emacs does everything they need

Fun fact: If you see someone at a nerd event wearing a vim-themed shirt, it's because they put it on in 2003 and couldn't figure out how to take it off
