The AI hype machine feels like The Forever Purge but for Tech April Fools Shit. It's like, nah, we're punking you all year now. One day is not enough anymore.

So what is there for breakfast by the airport in

@grumpasaurus that's corn country, right?

Whoa, an idea: what if I took a shower? Then I’d still be stressed out, but I’d probably smell better.

@Sadsquatch if you drink, you could try a "power shower" (aka chug a beer in the shower).

Horror in the High Desert (2021)

There's a good chance this is going to be good. There's an equal chance it'll be terrible. What're the odds?

I am deciding how risky my movie pick should be tonight. I am leaning towards "selecting a stinker on purpose."

boy I /wish/ they would “Recall" Windows 11!!!

...

for serious tho it's enough to make a body start reconsidering the PC Gamer life.

OTOH, I'm not sure I’d expect any better privacy-respectin' from uhhh…the same fucking company…or Sony.

(I already have a Switch, obv, so I guess that would be indie games sorted, albeit leaving a AAA-sized hole in my life.)

(Oh right, or: Steam Deck, or its handrolled analogue, “Linux on the Desktop: no we SWEAR this time”)

@bitprophet tbf I don't know what sort of privacy issues I could bump up against with Sony. They know what games I play, but not much more, I don't think.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@bitprophet I, however, could totally see them leaking account info like emails or payment info, but I think that's true no matter where you go these days.

@joshourisman @bitprophet it's all bad, bud.

Incidentally I'm thankfully still not seeing any of this Google "AI results" stuff. It sounds like nearly everyone else is. I don't know if the difference is because I'm on a Canadian IP, or because my feedback when they briefly opted me into the early beta tests was so aggressively negative they put some kind of "AI Hater" flag on my account

@mcc AI Hater is a badge I'd gladly get tagged with.

How bad will the movie be tonight, I wonder?

I have briefly consulted my stash of "bottom of the barrel movies" and there are so many ripe ones. Overly ripe. I could throw a dart and the odds of a stinker are huge, overwhelming, etc.

When people talk about "it's never been easier to make a movie/game/whatever" it's true. It's so true. This is the evidence.

Why doesn't microsoft make Recall take pictures with your computer's webcam too?

any time I think of a feature to build, my first question is "how many bothans will have to die?"

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

so far, the number has always been zero and that's how I know I'm living my best life.

I like my insulin pump but diabetes was easier to manage when my options were far worse and my expectations were so much lower.

@bitprophet I'd say "too soon" but we all grieve in our own way, at our own pace.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@bitprophet I think about dying all the time like it's normal. I get it.

Clarifying: not thinking of suicide, just ways I might die now or eventually.

Window washers have upset my cat

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

He did not expect to see humans out the window instead of birds. Very distressing.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@joshourisman The windows don't even look much more clean since the insides are plenty dirty.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@Sadsquatch yes.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

He won't come out from under the bed. I left a plate of treats on the floor. Hopefully he'll work his way up to them.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

I can hear a faint munch from the other room

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

He's out, but also he's just having a really bad day. I just saw him use the litter box and I guess the walk over there wore him out because he had to sit down (still in the litter box) to rest. Poor guy.
