This may be a stupid question, but: assuming an object (the bowling ball) is created from materials found on Earth and that it remains within the gravity well of Earth from material procurement stage to the point where it is dropped, wouldn't the acceleration of the Earth towards the object be kind of a null considering the whole timeline of events? I mean, I get the distinction of higher mass objects technically causing the Earth to accelerate towards them faster if we're talking a feather vs a bowling ball that both originated somewhere else before encountering Earth's gravity well in a vacuum, it just seems kind of weird to consider Earth's acceleration towards objects that are originating and staying within its gravity well?

FTFY (though, I'm mostly being sarcastic here - like most things, moderation there is a mixed bag from community to community).

We are living, this moment, in a great filter event. I truly believe that. Wanna know why we don't see, hear other planet wide civilisations? Look around you. See where this leads. Connect the dots. "do your own research." ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

My favorite people are the evangelical Christians that tacitly understand this point and want to accelerate things.

and armed, volunteer "ballot watchers" I'll be there on election day. Take that as you will.

Oh shit everybody, @shalafi@lemmy.world is gonna be there! We can all collectively sigh in relief now!

Let's taste them.

You're probably on point with the branding (and that's probably why Nintendo reportedly delayed their official announcement when Sony announced the PS5 Pro).

The best part is if you have Google Home/Nest products throughout your house and initiate a voice request you now have your phone using Gemini to answer and have the nearest speaker or display using Assistant to answer and they frequently hear eachother and take that as further input (having a stupid "conversation" with eachother). With Assistant as the default on a phone, the system knows what individual device it should reply to via proximity detection and you get a sane outcome. This happened at a friend's house while I was visiting and they were frustrated until I had them switch their phone's default voice assistant back to Assistant and set up a home screen shortcut to the web app version of Gemini in lieu of using the native Gemini app (because the native app doesn't work unless you agree to set Gemini as the default and disable Assistant).

Missing features aside, the whole experience would feel way less schizophrenic if they only allowed you to enable Gemini on your phone if it also enabled it on each smart device in the household ecosystem via Home. Google (via what they tell journalists writing articles on the subject) acts like it's a processing power issue with existing Home/Nest devices and the implication until very recently was that new hardware would need to roll out - that's BS given that very little of Gemini's functionality is being processed on device and that they've now said they'll begin retroactively rolling out a beta of Gemini to older hardware in fall/winter. Google simply hasn't felt like taking the time to write and push a code update to existing Home/Nest devices for a more cohesive experience.

I think it's a dig at Fox. Or MacFarlane?

Cue a Sinema-like emerging for the special election.
