“I think you should come here twice a week to work that out”

I’m not sure how that helps you though.

When NFT started getting popular. Forums were full of idiots saying “now I can really BUY something and HAVE it!” as opposed to, say, game publishers having their server with user accounts on it and their item there. There’s even people that touted “we will be able to bring items from one game to another!”. Pointing the silliness of the idea to them was a lost cause.

And, since that’s not how any of this works, it crashed and aside from some big publisher being incredibly late to the party, the idea is now buried deep and forgotten.

This is the TYPICAL AI use case :

• have situation that’s not perfect, but works fine and is understandable (old control panel and some hidden settings)
• improve on the old control panel, create subsections that makes sense, make it searchable, everyone is happy
• someone decides that “control panel” and “old looking UI” have to go, create a cluster-a-doodle-fuck of a garbage mess labeled “Settings”, put only half the old settings in there, and half the time conflicts with other well-established ways to do things
• keep pushing the new thing despite it being so horrendous a kitten litter dies every time it is used
• pretend “there is a problem with settings, but we can solve it with AI”
• ???
• nothing, whatever, definitely not profit

It seems that people keep forgetting we just, did stuff. Changing most system settings wasn’t an incomprehensible chore reserved to the most elite of people. And changing the fringe ultra rare and hard to find setting only happened with half-decent competent people. No need to throw AI at that… unless you dismantle everything that works before, of course.

I swear, it’s not long ago that people were touting that we could finally have decent microtransactions in games thanks to blockchain, despite microtransactions being a very lucrative thing for decades before. And don’t get me started on people saying “but it’s the only way artists can get paid”.

As a collective, humanity is dumb.

We did that to stop English from stealing from us. They didn’t get the joke, and here we are.

Unfortunately, not many people are willing to step in the horrific realm of nudified fat bastards.

Well, now you have :)

I only buy boxes of 2x2. I suppose the only way is to get all four out at the same time.

It was explicitly said to not use this outside of VSCode, so, I’m not sure where the surprise comes from.

The problem is that they’re killing competition.

So, they pay to develop a product, for themselves, explicitly says “it’s only for us, shoo shoo”, and when they decide that their product, that they pay for, and provide for free to their user, should not be used by other, it kills the competition that did not do anything except take the product for free despite being told not to?

I’m not on the side of Microsoft for most things. But if doing nothing but taking someone else’s free product qualifies to be competition that should be protected, we’re having problems.

Firefox, the software mainly driven by Mozilla, which is heavily investing in AI and ads ventures? That Firefox?

But, maybe “it will be different this time”, I guess.

also the “GUI” for debuggers on Linux aee pretty much just separate terminals for gdb, and often I can’t just jank my way out with printf() from various issues

And that is an issue because…?

I hope she’s not sent to a death camp before a court have a chance to say anything, because that’s also a thing that can happen.

Jack Dorsey hasn’t been around for a long time.

Sounds like an upside.

something buzzing on my wrist all the time would drive me batty

It’s the same when it’s in your pocket. I’d say the issue is not that it buzz all the time on your wrist, but that it buzz all the time. I disabled most notifications, except for a selection of people and apps. When I get a notification, it is usually important enough that I should check it. Everything else (including non-emergency work stuff) is checked on my own accord, when I feel like it.

Having the notifications pop on my wrist, with that system, does not feel like a shackle more than a phone constantly turning its screen on to tell you you have unread whatever.

So, someone plastering boobs on his truck is a missile target, but a musky orange tanking the world economy for a pump and dump isn’t?

Disable automatic updates

Unless your offline don’t do that. Even on windows that’s the worst advice one can give.

Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that’s the destroying left sickos.

You know, being neutral and all that.

Real hetero cis men only have sex with other real hetero cis men, preferably more than one at a time, to avoid lowering their male-ness. That’s the only way to keep our society alive, obviously.

Pfffrt. These jokers are such idiots.

Then you missed the point that what you think does not have to be universal when it comes to reading material or movies.
