I already don’t use Twitter, and encourage my friends not to, either. But I did that years ago. There’s not really a whole lot else I can do? Start a Fight Club, squat in an old condemned house, and blow up their building at the end? I have bills to pay and family that depends on those bills being paid.
As someone who does IT audits for banks in Puerto for FDIC audits, this is scary. The banks will embezzle, but they’ll also get hacked so we won’t know where the money went.
This makes me think twice about having a bank account at all.
Holy shit, he actually did it! Incredible, he must’ve read my Lemmy post!
Seriously though, that was a long time coming. Leonard is an old, old man. At least he gets to die in freedom.
I think my brain knows it would solve too many plot points too easily. I’m stuck in a 90s dreamscape where all the pay phones are broken.
Oh, gross. I haven’t seen many videos of him (especially lately) so I guess I hadn’t seen enough of his stuff for his personality to come through.
Why is Musk mad at AsmonGold? Did he dunk on Elon for paying others to play his account?
I just… Fail to see the reason Elon should dedicate his time to fighting with a neet shut in. Asmon turned off donations on his stream. He doesn’t care about money, political influence, or bathing. Just games. What possible gain would there be in trying to mess with him? The richest person to have ever existed in history, in a slap fight with a dude that lives in a dirty hovel? It almost sounds like trying to fight Diogenes.
And exposing his editors isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is. They just protect him from YouTube’s crappy rules.
It sure seems like a cool accessibility tool, but he spent the whole time taking about why he did it, and magnets, that it glosses over the “how does it work?” Part that really matters. It’s not just a keyboard, so I’m sure there’s more to it. I’m hoping he has other videos that explain the concept.
If you’re smart, pull your investments from them because it’s only a matter of time before they push some AI built update with minimal/no oversight and totally fuck up, like crowdstrike did.
This has always been the way. If you’re super Catholic and really believe that stuff, realizing you’re gay means you aren’t going to have a bunch of kids with a wife and feel fulfilled. It’s a “challenge from God” and you decide the only acceptable course of action is to assume you can be celibate for the next 80 years and make your family proud.
Then oops! You’re so repressed you diddle kids.
The movie “Doubt” covers this pretty well.
Source: was raised Catholic and knew two very religious closeted gay men that became priests. I don’t want to suggest that being gay is wrong or that gay men are more likely to diddle kids, but I am suggesting that sexual repression causes sexual problems, Catholicism is stupid for enforcing celibacy past the 1700s, and all religion is a lie. Fite me irl, bro.
Yeah this is exactly what we should want from AI. Filling in an immediate need, but also recognizing it won’t be as good as a pro translation.
IDK, that could be different. I bought some surfaces ~2 years ago that apparently aren’t capable of upgrading to 11. They’re perfectly usable, so I’ll have to put Linux on them. I think anyone that’s capable will find that they have to do that, or throw out perfectly good hardware to buy the next shiny thing.
The only problem is I did switch my laptop to Ubuntu back in the day to avoid W7. Or maybe to was 10? All I did was stream video, like Netflix, on it. Turns out, Netflix wouldn’t run because they locked it down to specific OSes. WINE could run it, with a horrible stutter. So I had to dual boot, then I switched to a VM of Windows in Linux, which ended up just being another step to get to stream a movie. Coupled with hours of driver problems to solve, it just wasn’t worth the hassle.
Now, it’s a matter of “can I stream?” Because otherwise, they’re e-waste. I really hope they can, because while I’ll have to keep my gaming PC on w11, my htpc and tablets I will gladly switch.
I can’t imagine I’m alone. If people can get their programs out of the walled garden of Microsoft, I think they will. Not so much new features, but that they can just do what they always do. We’re creatures of habit. We probably won’t see adoption in high numbers, but more than before.
Also, it’s entirely possible I’ll have to eat these words if streaming still doesn’t work right.
I remember it was somewhat expensive. Or at least too much for my parents to waste on a sugary cereal of limited nutritional value. I never got to try it, but I knew the commercial made it seem cool. We didn’t even have a video game console, so I guess this shitty commercial really seemed awesome at the time. Man, this one kid in my class had an old Atari, and he was ashamed that it wasn’t a Nintendo. I couldn’t stop telling him how awesome it was and how lucky he was to have it, because it was way cooler than my Tiger Electronics handheld LCD Ghostbusters game. Which was the only video game I had, that my grandma saved a lot to be able to afford. I probably made him play that system for hours and he was probably bored every minute!
Nowadays, a PC game is trivial to buy and I can run anything I want on an emulator. But I can’t have that cereal that doesn’t exist anymore. I’m way too old to want to eat something so clearly bad for my middle aged body anyway.
It’s amazing how trivial things back then were built up in my head.
Old cars could actually have their stuff adjusted, though. You’d have to tinker with the carburator if the weather was significantly colder/hotter, etc. to get it to run properly.
Even cars in the 90s started getting too complex - electronic fuel injection, variable valve timing, and more. There’s no need to adjust the valves because the computer does it, and better than you could.
I used to sell books at Borders (so far before MAGA crap) and you are 100% correct. Most men were reading books as well, but they really didn’t gravitate to Ann Rice’s vampire series, Twilight, or even most mystery books. Is was Sci Fi, fantasy, history, general knowledge sort of stuff.
The sheer volume of women buying romance novels was staggering, and I think speaks more to porn habits than anything. These women kept the store alive long enough for corporate to fuck up and bankrupt themselves.
Now that I think about it, there was a whole row of JUST Star Wars books. But because Disney erased so much of the Expanded Universe canon that they wrote, they all faded away. I don’t even have one in my local Barnes and Noble. Not even a single novel, from what I saw. Everyone totally lost interest and Disney doesn’t care to rekindle that spark.
Shad from the YouTube channel Shadiversity made a back scabbard that actually works, but it’s not historical. Historically, people didn’t really do it.
He also made a bow carrier on his back, to mimic a lot of movies and games.
I expect that he’ll push for some kind of corporate tax credit to companies that have in-person employees. To help tip the scales.
He thinks it’ll increase control, but it’s just as likely to rile up discontent. Especially targeted towards him.
I can just barely remember the general plot.
Is the new one going to be called “Half Life: Forever - Balls of Steel Edition”?
Sometimes we should just let it die. The original script writer posted the plot to 3 when his NDA ran out, and I think that was 5 years ago or more. Reading that is good enough for closure.
Off the top of my head, I remember the Stagefright vulnerability on phones a while back. That was probably more than 10 years ago now, but I remember finding out my phone was vulnerable at the time.
He tries to run, but you slow-walk towards him, chanting “poop!” with every step. His pants are heavy, and blood starts to show through his jeans. “I’ll cut your guts out!” he helplessly bluffs. Soon, he crumples up and screams as his guts start emptying into the street; his denim is no longer able to hold the carnage. You see him lying dead at your feet.
You turn back towards the United Healthcare headquarters, and resume your march.
Now, it is finally time to see at what point explosive diarrhea is covered…
They know that killing support early makes it easier for people to just buy new hardware, which likely has new windows purchased/included. More money, less effort. And since most environments are locked into the platform, no one gets away.
I’m already moving a lot of hardware to Linux, but I’ll be damned if I give MS any more money.
