  • Meanwhile, an ancient Brother wifi laser printer that I haven't used in 3 years and frankly forgot I had, moments after I clicked on it instead of "print to pdf": whirrs to life 3 seconds later and prints a perfect smudge-free copy

  • I'm not going to claim to be a privacy/security expert here, but I think the question is "safe from who/what?" Privacy is a sliding scale with diminishing returns, so you need to set your expectations according to the level of effort you are willing to put in.

    If you just want to not be tracked/profiled by commercial big data or standard governmental operations, then an old phone with no sim, wifi/bluetooth turned off, and using wired headphones removes you from a couple tiers of lowest-hanging fruit.

    But if you think someone is specifically and actively tracking you in particular, that is a whole other question.

  • Except for that fatcat in the middle of the 5th row from the bottom. I bet that dude(tte) feels like a king among peasants.

  • Not sure whether to upvote you because I got the joke, or downvote you for comedic effect

  • As long as I can get kerf delivered my door in a square cardboard box when I'm too high to drive, I'm here for it.

  • The kid is giving me major Polar Express vibes but the background is definitely not. Halp?

  • Did I stutter?

    Yes!!

  • The only doom code I need or want is IDDQD.

    Or maybe IDNOCLIP if I want to figure out how they made that map.

  • This photo looks exactly how nachos and cinnamon twists taste. I will not be taking questions.

  • "Decentralized network of forums" is probably the best way I've heard it described, as an elder millennial who grew up on multiple disparate forums.

    The email analogy doesn't resonate with me because I, as a Gmail user have less than nothing in common with any other Gmail user. On the other hand, the idea of being able to log into my car enthusiast forum and interact seamlessly with people from a video game enthusiast forum is much closer to how I think the ideal Lemmy experience would go.

  • Well, I had a brief moment of hopefulness at least 😐

  • I'm a relatively recent transplant to Chigacoland so I feel a bit of an instinctive need to defend deep dish. But really, its more of a love for all forms of pizza.

    New York style? Hell yes Chicago style? Two slices and long nap, but still hell yes Detroit style, tavern style, California style, thin crust, thick crust, stuffed crust? Yes yes yes yes yes and yes!

  • The Onion needs a "There's nothing we can do about it, says only country where this happens regularly" but with Republican pedos. Just trot out the same damn article every couple months with a different name.

  • Honestly, I don't think your edit is crazy at all. I have a hunch that all the fake, filtered, AI-processed, vtuber'd social media is going to result in a sharp backlash soon. Kind of like how over-the-top, image-focused glam and heavy metal of the 80s spawned a backlash in the rawer, more "real" feel of grunge and stripped down alt-rock in the 90s.

    Maybe that desire for reality will be one of the triggers for the AI bubble bursting.

  • Guitar!

  • I think more accurately, he'd have Biden do the pushups, criticize Biden for only doing 3 pushups with a 20 minute nap between each one, do an impression of Biden doing pushups while mocking people with cerbral palsy or something, then take credit for doing the 3 pushups himself, and finally claim that nobody has ever done more than 3 pushups before.

  • I mean "friend-shaped but we without friend personalty" is inherently terrifying whether its dogs or people.

    But you do have a point that scary robot animals tend to be dogs, not cats.

  • Yeah, I was super amped for this one, but started getting weird vibes around episode 3 or 4. There are a hundred ways that you could have things go wrong bringing hostile alien species to earth, but the show just relied on people constantly treating them with less care than they would a pet iguana.

    Slogged through the rest just in case, but it just felt like Jurassic Park with infinitely sloppier writing.

  • I'm not even sure you need the /s there homie.
