Don’t be embarrassed that you thought better of someone. That’s their failure, not yours.

Yeah, I think the only take away is that they’re not Trump sycophants like Aileen Cannon.

It’s not quite the needed win, but it’s still something :/

lobut,

I don’t understand what this is trying to say. The cybertruck is a disaster and I think that social distancing was for COVID right?

Also, I think there’s something called the Flynn Effect and it’s that in general kids are getting smarter with each generation (I think?).

lobut,

Yup, I didn’t buy the Steam Deck to do 4K ray tracing at 120FPS. I bought it so I can pick up any Steam Deck Verified game and play it without relative issue. Being able to suspend the game immediately and just knowing things work beats fiddling with Windows on a handheld.

New “Recall” feature in Windows 11 is a privacy nightmare (www.theverge.com)

The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and...

I mean … I saw that for some reason when I logged into Windows 11 yesterday it had the NBA score in the bottom left. Who the hell asked if I wanted that?

Went back to my Linux/Mint box as I rarely use my windows one but that pissed me right off.

lobut,

How much of that is the NHS getting now? /s

lobut,

Phind.com is pretty good for programming stuff, it’s AI but it cites it’s sources.

“some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses”

lobut,

I thought I was gonna start some shit by saying it’s more like being a vegan at a restaurant, but I see everyone’s already fighting.

lobut,

Not really new but probably not that popular for everyone. It seems it was coined in 2010: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern. In the web dev space I was using it like 8-9 years ago, more or less.

lobut,

At the end of the day, you never know.

lobut,

What is it about all these rich people that need to do this type of stuff? Consensual stuff too boring for these guys now?

lobut,

I asked ChatGPT to explain it to me and it came up with this:

This description is discussing a theoretical concept where the universe is shaped like a donut, known as a “3-roid” or “3-tauroid”. In this model, moving through the universe is akin to navigating a 3D surface of a 4D object, similar to how a spaceship in a 2D video game wraps around when reaching the edge of the screen. The suggestion of characters with 4D movement abilities falling out of space and time is a speculative idea based on this theoretical framework.

lobut,

Definitely struck a chord with him 👀

Devout Christian Mike Johnson shows up to hush money trial to defend a guy accused of cheating on his wife with a porn star (www.vanityfair.com)

House Speaker Mike Johnson describes himself as a Christian before anything else. He has said his “faith informs everything I do.” He has told people curious about his views to “pick up a Bible.” His wife reportedly runs a counseling service whose operating agreement, which he himself notarized, states, “We believe and...

lobut,

I was gonna say this was on par for the modern Christianity as we know it. I don’t think death threats are very Christian either but it seems that’s been par for the course now.

lobut,

I’ve had to remove a lot of recommendations. Man, PragerU, Crowder, Shapiro and Joe Rogan were in my feeds. Jeez.

lobut,

Urgh, it makes me wonder why people do videos like this and think that Poilievre is going to be able to “fix” all this.

Then again, yeah, if it’s propaganda it’s just about sowing doubt.

lobut,

Lived in London for twenty years and I’ve only heard it annual or if you’re a contractor we talk daily rate.

lobut,

It’s weird because most hate it. I remember when Michael Moore’s movie came out and even those in red states were gathering together to say that if we let this go on then we’re complicit!

Then I think I remember Fox News and the right-wing going on a blitz. “Death Panels” and shit

youtu.be/JPa19PgTxZc?si=_M9f1k4noEEr0XJN

Look at this disinformation campaign. This is what pisses me off about this “both sides” bullshit. Also, whenever any comedian jerks themselves off about speaking the truth and being philosophers going off on woke when they shut their mouths about shit like this.

lobut,

I think making the rich mingle with the normal people more would be beneficial. It’s harder to dehumanize the poor when you’ve met them. Can’t call them lazy or stupid and just not “wanting” it enough when you see them work as hard as you and not getting as far.

Although, I think the way things are it’ll never happen though. Nepo babies would dodge everything even if something like this were to occur.

lobut,

You’re absolutely right. I was trying to get what I hoped was the salient point out of the person’s post.

I knew a few guys in Europe I think maybe Austrian or something where they came from lots of money but went to school with “others” and they seemed pretty well-adjusted. Although, they have a lot of the other advantages that you’ve listed as well.

Weren’t Republicans crying about HIPAA (fixed spelling, thanks!) and shit earlier when asked if they got vaccinations? You guys actually care about sensitive patient health data or what’s up?

I remember waiting at Spadina years ago and heard someone scream that phrase … and I think for the next year of work I biked. It was like Inception with that phrase. lol.

I moved to London UK afterwards and was amazed at how transit wasn’t just so much better but it was the primary mode of transport. A lot of people hate the tube but I just can’t be mad at it after living in Toronto. London has loads more people living in than Toronto for sure, but Toronto was just so bad. I often made a joke about how many transit lines we’ve added in London in a few years and that living in Toronto for the past five, we’ve actually removed one (Kennedy?).
