61% of the military voted for Trump. So this is my idgaf face.

Can’t skip the update if you don’t have any Windows installations.

I didn’t like Twitter enough to join it when it didn’t cost $20.

I hope this means that Shitter is starting to be in some trouble.

I’ve been using Eden for almost a year now off and on. Performance is pretty flawless, there are some graphical glitches here and there, but nothing that outright breaks the games. Eden didn’t supply the keys, I guess that’s the difference.

I tried Ryujinx and couldn’t get it to work for shit on Mint, but on Steam Deck it actually works fantastic.

None. I was never invested in it very heavily. I had one channel that I was a pretty involved member on but the whole “you don’t have to tell them how old you are, they’re going to use an algorithm and your usage patterns to deduce it,” I was just haha no, fuck that, and I quit.

Stop using Windows. Stop using Discord.

Yep. On it almost a year now, ever since 10 was EOL’d and I learned Discord was building a profile on every user based on usage.

Linux has been awesome and Discord mostly sucked anyway.

It would only happen because of their sense of self-preservation. They can build all the bunkers they want but there is no way to be completely independent of the giant external machine that keeps us all alive. Even if you were a nihilist like your average billionaire, you can’t just say fuck everybody else, I got mine. You depend on food being grown and delivered, you depend on drugs being made and doctors and dentists to fix you up. You depend on a billion people not actively seeking your death. You depend, most of all, on money not being worthless. If nobody has money but you, then you also have no money.

That’s pretty low for an ambulance ride in the stupidest fucking country, tbh. Probably the actual bill after her insurance company “paid” for $3600 of it.

This is the scam of health “insurance” in America: you get a bill that’s stupid. Like “on a different planet” stupid. Your insurance colludes with the hospital to pay none of it (but tell you they did) and you get to pay the actual balance. The actual balance is also stupid, but just ordinary stupid.

Never ran into one in Phoenix but in Tucson, we ran into a green one on the way up Mount Lemmon. Beautiful but frightening.

I loved GTA 3, the first one I ever played and bonus, Vice City was even better! I thought GTA 4 was OK - not great, not terrible. I hated GTA 5. Similarly, I loved RDR and hated RDR 2 (I know I basically stand alone on this one).

Personally I feel like Rockstar is on a trajectory. My interest in 6 is in negative numbers. It’s not like I don’t like the genre. I love Cyberpunk, but even that I didn’t buy until I managed to get it on sale for $20.

I might consider getting GTA 6 if it goes on sale for $5, which it won’t. Hell, they still want $20 for 4 lol. Money grubbing shits.

hops just have to be closer.

It doesn’t take much of a leap of imagination to see a torrent-like system utilizing all available devices within earshot to spread the bandwidth around to realize a pretty fast system available nearly everywhere in dense urban areas and slower (but ubiquitous) coverage the more rural you get. Obviously we’re far away from that now, but this definitely seems like the future to me.

I believe this stuff is going to be huge. Reticulum, Lora, Meshtastic all bit players now in a drama that has yet to get a finished script. It will start out as a supplement to the Internet, allowing you connectivity even when your Internet falters and as it becomes more ubiquitous, it will be increasingly used/usable and increasingly important. It can’t be shut down, it can’t be controlled. A country would literally have to ban radio signals of any kind in order to shut it down. It’s free. Buy the hardware, use the network, because you are the network. I love this.

“Ol’ fatfingers” Caligula they called him.

Probably better to be able to just hide your plate at will.

Except insurance has basically decided it doesn’t need to actually pay for the most part.

• One billionaire uses more water than every home in Los Angeles combined. To grow almonds. 80% of which are for export.
• 10% of all of Arizona’s water goes to grow alfalfa for cows in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.

We’re in a drought, sure, but it could be mitigated, if the capitalist class and their lackey politicians actually gave a fuck - but they do not appear to.

If you primarily read it on a desktop or laptop, which I think a lot of old.reddit users do, it’s just better. Same reason I use old.lemmy: improved readability, more compact, less wasted/whitespace, less scrolling, it’s just easier to consume.

Sure, although I would phrase it I think a bit more pointedly: “it has become impossible to tell managers mesmerized by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, capable of what they imagine they are capable of.”

This points, rightly, at it being a failure on the part of the managers - not artificial intelligence. And God knows that’s spot fucking on.

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful.

This is stupid. The tools are helpful. Overhyped? Sure. But to pretend they are in no way helpful is just wrong.
