They’re almost certainly powering Palentir’s shit, so yeah.

The enemy is both strong and weak.

Now, where did I hear that before…?

The destination Waffle House was apparently in Rome, GA. I wonder where the origin “50 miles away” was?

Not because I believe he actually teleported, mind you, but because he was obviously driving while blackout drunk and I want him to stay the Hell away from me.

I somewhat hope that he did that as a demonstration of, hey, someone may do this because it’s hard for me to wrap my head around someone who uses a computer for a living, doing something like that.

Nope, he genuinely didn’t bother to understand the warning before typing it. He may use computers for a living, but that just means he has a lot of very ingrained Windows bad habits to un-learn.

It was some pretty big Internet drama when it happened and he’s still trying to defend himself from the near-universal lambasting he got for it. Although I included the link just in case, I’m kinda surprised you (being a person tech-savvy enough to be posting on Lemmy) didn’t already hear of it.

He’s actually making a second attempt to switch to Linux right now (four years later), initially picked Pop!_OS again, and had some more problems with it. 🤦 He has a second channel where he posts clips from his podcast, and he keeps whining about how the other people doing it with him are having little to no trouble and he’s just cursed, LOL.

To be fair, a deal was made before Trump even inserted himself into the issue.

Never forget that he tore up the deal himself to manufacture a fake casus bellum.

Run crontab -e and put this in the file, on its own line:

I trust the NPS placard.

If it was placed before 2025, sure.

Nowadays, though, they’re being systematically torn out and replaced with MAGA christofascist propaganda. Think “war of northern aggression” and destruction of anything about black history, for example.

I wouldn’t put it past them to replace info about plate tectonics with creationist bullshit eventually.

Honestly, having to have the user type “I agree that I have verified the application i am trying to install is genuine and not a fraudulent app”

Ask Other Linus how well that sort of thing (“Yes, do as I say!”) works, LOL!

I agree with you that Google’s anti-competitive time delay BS is likely to be ineffective for its claimed purpose, but frankly, I don’t think any other reasonable (i.e. non-rights-infringing) strategies would be effective either. Honestly, there’s a limit to how much effort you should go through to save idiots from themselves – and how much annoyance you impose on everyone else in the process! – and I think we’ve already hit it.

The only thing I use my bank app for is to deposit checks. It can’t be done from the desktop because it needs the phone camera to take photos of the check.

Things like LineageOS are a workaround, not a solution.

The solution has to be legal, not technical. Companies have to be stopped from trying to fuck with users’ property rights in the first place!

The Panama Canal doesn’t even go all the way down to sea level; it definitely does not make a difference.

If America is one continent, then Afro-Eurasia is also one continent.

I have never heard of any generative AI system capable of doing anything useful with 3D models. If you ever find one, PM me to let me know!

Everybody knew dot-coms in 2000 and houses in 2007 were bubbles, too. But they kept investing anyway, because they didn’t know when it would pop and FOMO is a helluva drug.

Also, something to keep in mind: https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2014/02/worlds-worst-market-timer/

When you put it that way, them fucking around doesn’t sound quite as bad.

We’re repeating it because we have a regime that wants to create chaos on purpose.

I have a domain, but all I use it for so far is email (with an email provider, not my own mail server, hosted locally or otherwise). I’d still call that “usable,” though.

Sure they have, but not since the shift to the 5th party system.

Conservatives have certainly never made life better for the working class, but Republicans haven’t always been conservative.

a corporate goon

I’ve been on Lemmy too long, because this is starting to sound like a double entendre.

Too bad ChatGPT lacks the self-awareness (let alone any actual reasoning skills whatsoever) to appreciate it.
