I’d count laptops along with desktops. There’s no meaningful difference for most folks. The desktop is dying hard and fast, has been for a decade.

Isn’t it odd that I can’t get ChatGPT to make a funny picture of Trump or a naked Anna-Taylor Joy, but I can manipulate it into suiciding me? Perhaps we need to cut this shit off until we can gain a bit of control?

Maybe the finest improvement to our camp was adding an outdoor shower. Water’s pumped into a 68G barrel with a few tiny chlorine tabs. Gravity drains nicely.
Just being able to easily wash my face and hands is a boon.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•We'd never deport veterans, Noem says in earshot of deported veteranEnglish

“Sir,” she responded, “we have not deported US citizens or military veterans.”
“Here are the receipts (WAY more than just this guy), and here’s a vet you deported, live on Zoom. So, either you are lying or ignorant as to what is going on under your watch.”
“bullshit, bullshit, bullshit…”
“You are either lying or ignorant. Which is it?”
“bullshit, bullshit, bullshit…”
“Lying or ignorant. Pick one. Only one.”
Why do they not nail these people to the fucking wall?!

212·4 days agoWe really don’t want that first part to be law.
Section 230 was enacted as part of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 and is a crucial piece of legislation that protects online service providers and users from being held liable for content created by third parties. It is often cited as a foundational law that has allowed the internet to flourish by enabling platforms to host user-generated content without the fear of legal repercussions for that content.
Though I’m not sure if that applies to scraping other server’s content. But I wouldn’t say it’s fair for the scraper to review everything. If we don’t like that take, then we should illegalize scraping altogether, but I’m betting there are unwanted side effects to that.

Property is anything (items or attributes/tangible or intangible) that can be owned by a person or entity. Property is the most complete right to something; the owner can possess, use, transfer or dispose of it.

Have these people never encountered wild beavers?
I can’t log in to YT and use Firefox/uBlock Origin to stop ads. Works fine in Edge. What is that about?!
How does a man make it to 26 without slipping, tripping and falling in some pussy?! By 32: Had two girls I never met come knocking one night. Neighbor dropped their cousin on me, two nights in a row. Had a stripper I’d blown off the night before barge in my room and have her way with me. Weirdly, I don’t think I’ve ever met and immediately bedded someone I met at a bar, despite 2,000 nights in bars. :( Maybe once? Much of my youth is a blur.
For context; I’m short and scrawny, not exactly Brad Pitt here fellas. Is all it takes showering, basic hygiene, dressing decently and not being a weirdo?!
They don’t kill my sex drive, but I sure can’t cum wile on them.

45·16 days agoYou and I are 1-in-50 purchasers, if that. Nobody gives a shit if AI is in the game.
Go grab a random dude on the street,
“Hey! Just one question? If you’re considering buying a video game, is the fact they used AI in making it a deal breaker?”
Nobody cares. I’m with ya. Don’t fucking buy it, I won’t. But enough other people will that it won’t make a difference.

210·16 days agoYou can tell most everything you need to know about a company by looking at the CEO. That’s because they’re the leader, they set the tone, contrary to lemmy beliefs. Happy or unhappy employees? Look to the CEO. Solid earnings, year after year after year? CEO. I ask at every interview, “What’s the CEO like?” BUT…
A) Ultimately, CEOs do what the fucking board of directors wants, or they get fired, hence, the golden parachute. Would you take a monster job knowing that you could be forced to fuck your industry reputation and not hedge that bet? Nah. Force me to do something stupid yet needful? I want paid when you fire me on purpose for doing what you said.
B) I think you are in an echo chamber around here. Most CEOs are great folks, you only hear about the major fuck ups at the major companies. Also, the decisions the big dogs make that lemmy tells you are unpopular, really aren’t unpopular in the wider world. EA Games still exists after all.

True enough! No reason not to say it up front, right?
Look y’all, not 1-in-20 people give a flying fuck about AI like we do on here.


Shit. I was thinking MacOS. Never mind.
