Last time I was at ComiCon there was a booth for the US military and a booth for THC/CBD right next to each other and there was a pack of half a dozen furries checking out both of them.

What you mean a bunch of bells and chimes and warning lights happening every time the road markings are ambiguous isn’t helpful?

The dumbest people alive are running everything and have unlimited access to a narcissism powered bullshit machine.

What a disaster.

Serial killers are also dumb, cops are just even dumber and people are oblivious.

I had a realization recently that with driverless cars becoming more common that one day I’m going to be stuck in traffic surrounded by dozens of other cars that are completely empty. They’ll just be going to pick up a human driver somewhere or going to park and no one will care because instead of eliminating traffic we’ll just ensure humans are entertained while stuck in it.

Why bother to fix traffic congestion if you can just play PlayStation the whole time or whatever?

Google: A little evil is okay.

Documentaries always like to show them as geniuses because it’s more exciting than the idea that people are oblivious and law enforcement isn’t always effective.

This sounds hypothetical and old fashioned but Trump was trying to force hotels to house ICE agents while they do their gestapo shit. So it’s still very relevant.

Capitalism consumes everything, even criticism of itself.

I do a Kansas City BBQ pizza with brisket, red onion and pickles. It’s amazing.

I’ve also become more and more convinced that these colossal huge general models are not necessary for many useful tasks and smaller more focused models will do just fine for a lot of the workloads people will actually be willing to pay for. Particularly once these companies have to stop selling at a loss.

I like and use Cloudflare but it’s worth mentioning you must use their dns for domains you purchase from them.

Generally when accuracy matters I ask for a direct link with proof and for the specific part of the doc that is related. I either get exactly that or it’ll realize it’s hallucinating and can’t prove anything.

Hugely wasteful but unfortunately still faster than how unusable search has become.

(After discovering oranges) “What should we call this thing?”

“How about an orange because it’s orange.”

(After discovering carrots) “Oh fuck.”

I’m skeptical this wasn’t about selling Steam keys on an external site for less than the price on Steam. Plenty of places sell DRM free versions of games at whatever price they want but steam keys can’t be discounted on external sites. That price parity is only for steam keys though at least per policy.

Changing the password on my password manager is so stressful.

Legit have to plan a good time of year to upend my life like that.

I haven’t seen Sable suggested, but it’s a very pleasant indie game with a lot of BotW in its DNA. It’s not as large and content filled as some of these suggestions but it does have a great sense of style and is more tonally similar to Zelda.

Had to Google it but it looks pretty nice. I thought you meant that you were injecting giant ads into Android TV.

I can’t imagine what nightmarish vulnerabilities Microsoft knows about and is hiding because they would require too much effort to patch. I bet there are some really crazy things that have probably been wide open for decades if you only knew where to look.

Garbage in, garbage out.
