  • Observing reality violates russian law.

  • I never really had heroes. I did see some people are more trustworthy or credible but never another I ever gave hero status to. The entire idea seemed strange to me.

    I will say I was right about Elon Musk. There was just something about him I couldn’t put my finger on that screamed monster and nobody believed me. I just had a weird ick feeling about him.

  • Jobs was an interesting man in that he’s a prime example of an environment creating a person. If you haven’t read the biography it’s a fascinating read. The TLDR is that personality didn't appear in a vacuum.

  • I think we have that with dr Mike on youtube now. He’s still in the pre-enshittification stage where he’s responsibly saying “I know things but I’m a YouTuber. Please ask your actual doctor.”

    But pressures change people over time so I have no doubt he’ll be shilling supplements eventually.

  • I haven’t coded in years and wanted to pick up python finally. I’m using ChatGPT to demonstrate all the wrong answers to problems and I have to admit it’s a great learning tool for an unexpected reason.

    It is productively wrong. All the time. But by screwing with it I can learn why things do or do not work. It does not give me an answer direct but instead guides me through all the possible ways to screw things up and I can learn from that.

    I haven’t coded since C++ and Java in high school outside some arduino shit I did for a bit in between and chatGPT has been great and bringing those skills back from cold storage in my brain.

    But as far as put in question, get response it’s obviously terrible.

    This kind of demonstrates the bigger problem though. Business majors are making decisions and not engineers. And business majors are fucking stupid outside their element.

  • Holy hell!

  • Comedy = tragedy + time

  • As much as I like the idea of this, I don’t really have any way to vet this. That’s not where my skills lie. And I live in a country run by fucking morons that want Russia to win this thing anyway so no traffic coming from my country should be considered trusted any more than this.

    While willful participation in a DDOS attack is a literal crime where I live, the greater concern I have is not being able to confirm this does what it says it does and nothing else. We are well beyond the Low Orbit Ion Cannon days.

  • Guys, MacOS isn’t everybody’s taste, especially now. But it does do what it’s trying to do. Windows isn’t succeeding at anything it’s trying to do.

  • I literally just asked this. Right fucking there.

  • I went with Intel ARC since I don’t actually need GPU processing power so much as a decent media engine and VRAM for future projects and Intel has that ready to go under Linux. In the CPU side AMD is the only option that makes sense and for gaming AMDs GPUs have already been the practical option for years but their media engines are trash.

    But we don’t need NVIDIA and we don’t even need high end GPUs as much as we think we do.

  • Even from a pure profit motive, this is a solvable problem. Just find another use for it it’s a simple starch. Can’t it be processed into something else like packing material, paper-like products, plastics, bio fuels, etc? Even if you can’t use it as food, it can be turned into other things.

    But it won’t.

    Because this regime is not only evil, but fucking dumb.

  • They are going to do that anyways. Watch the polls this November. They will incite violence, then order people to disperse, denying them their right to vote.

  • What if work was the friends we made on the train?

  • Shifting toward a subscription model at this stage in the game just screams “we are having money trouble.”

    Which is ironic considering the image BMW has.

  • At 18 nobody actually knows anything. They have awareness but no context yet. Don’t worry about it.

    Also, don’t compare yourself to others. That’s a terrible metric. Are you meeting your needs? Are you hurting anybody? Literally nothing else matters.

  • you are Apple-centric:homebridge

    There’s a mix: homebridge

    You are out of mood stabilizers: arduino and an ESP32

  • Retroarch disagrees. I don’t need your newfangled enshittified slop. I have megaman X and wine.

  • Years ago my cat was joyfully playing with a house centipede and my boyfriend at the time told me to look, she was doing something cute.

    I rolled back in my office chair to turn around and see and in doing so rolled over her centipede, killing it.

    And she just looked at me like “papa, why?”

    I’m a monster. She’s long dead too and I still feel awful.
