I turned off Gemini in messages on my default messaging app the moment I saw any Gemini thing show up, but I just got a message from Gemini anyway... Does anyone know of a more permanent way to kill Gemini? I have signal and use it for many chats, but do message many people that are not all that privacy minded and need a default app that can do sms/rcs without requiring them to get anything special on their end. I just don't want any AI in my conversations if I can help it.

@skinnylatte @scott I've observed the same behavior at SFO, I'm curious if it has to do with the trains that are at the end of the line there? The only other end of the line station I've used is Richmond, and I've never seen this behavior there, so maybe there's something else up

@skinnylatte nice bike! Is that a burley travoy hitch under the saddle?

@skinnylatte congratulations! There are so many cool things you can do with a fishing license in California, and mine has played a big role in me learning about marine environments and bird life in the bay

@lmc yeah, I feel like it's one thing for me to support a team and the players on it, it's another for me to walk around in with the name of someone who people joked would've helped the insurrection succeed had he not been busy rehabbing a torn acl

@lmc it is so upsetting to me that my local team has one of the best players in the league at my favorite position, but he spouts crazy and bigoted trash so I can't buy a jersey in good conscience

Sometimes the transfer to the T in Powell is perfect and then it encounters basically no traffic coming out of the tunnel and life is good but also feels too good... Like, there's no way service can be this good unless something else is super bad, right?

Our opponents claim that Muni is struggling because of plunging ridership, but that just isn't true. Muni ridership has consistently rebounded and is now at 76% of pre-pandemic ridership, despite major shifts in commuter travel. Muni now serves over 500K trips daily.

I'd like to issue a correction to my previous statement: the morning train felt empty-ish, the return trip us as packed as any train I've been on that isn't on a giants gameday

I'm only in mountain view every few months now, and every time I come, I feel like there are more and more people on bikes. The Caltrain ridership overall doesn't feel like it's gone up, but the bike cars get full, and there are also lots of people riding around mountain view that I don't see at the platform

@thesquirrelfish bikes in general are harder to find in the lower 2/3 of this size range and it's a much bigger struggle to figure out how to bike pack on them, since loads of websites/guides/youtubers just assume you'll have clearance for a 10L+ saddlebag

It's very frustrating that as we approach a massive cut in transit operations across the bay area, our new transit infrastructure all makes it harder to bring a bike than the current systems do... the new Caltrain bike cars fit fewer bikes and provide basically no seating in view of them, the new Bart faregates are too narrow for bikes and also just don't always work... at least the last time I checked, the overpriced underwhelming battery buses still have bike racks?
