this is legitimately what i think is happening. both with github’s constant outages and windows 11 seeming to be getting worse faster than ever before. a fucking gigabyte of ram for a weather app, a beginner programming project, built like an electron app because i guess copilot doesn’t know c#.

microsoft: “93.73 and 90, that’s at least two nines right there”

the whole point is you can choose a difference instance. with something like reddit, all you get is reddit or nothing.

the four horsemen of just needing something linuxy for my linux screenshots

never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.

you should all know that reddit can, and has, restored comments that have been “shredded” by tools like this so they can be used to train AI. they can obviously restore deleted content as well, because it’s never deleted, just marked as deleted in the database.

police need a warrant to view your camera specifically, but they absolutely do not need a warrant to request video from a ring camera stored by amazon. they just ask for it and amazon hands it straight over.

the viable option to using AI is to use your own mind that you were born with.

people who are heavily reliant on AI are not going to end up educated enough to fight back, they’re going to remain reliant on AI. that is the problem.

not even particularly confusing, it’s just two inexperienced users being inexperienced. it seems like it’s only confusing people that know OpenOffice and LibreOffice have OS X versions but somehow don’t know that not everyone knows what they’re doing.

i’d already been really sick of that “everyone’s so creative” cooking content for a while, because it’s mostly just bullying, but uncle roger put me off him for good when he ballbusted a 12 year old for using a bench scraper. you know, the extremely common tool that every youtube cook uses in every single video.

“yeah, you can definitely write an article about how deeply stupid and gullible i am, sounds great. make sure to name me, too, so everyone knows.”

i call this cabinet… BEANS

the joke seems to be that he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about, because on top of that, nobody pronounces “d8” as “date.”

ayyy, left-handed artist!

a lot of ideas-only leftists on the internet have gotten furious with me when i ask “how.” way too many terminally online leftists build their entire political ideology around the desired end result and have spent exactly zero time thinking or learning how we actually get there.

i don’t have all the answers, either, but i openly acknowledge what i don’t know because just getting angry and calling someone a right-winger in the comments of a random reddit or lemmy post over the tiniest bit of barely-pushback is not going to help me build actionable knowledge and strengthen my views.

you’re right, but i need people to understand that this is simply not a workable solution for most people. the simple fact is if we want the average person to adopt more open source alternatives, it needs to improve usability even without their help. it’s not really enough to only cater to us power user nerds with “good enough,” and it doesn’t win hearts and minds to handwave complaints and tell people to come back with a patch.

i give OP a year until the furry hater -> furry pipeline kicks in.

dude, damn near nobody is cumming in their $8000+ fursuit or covering it with lube.

they make dildos that look like pieces of pie stacked up and ears of corn. neither of those are furry-related.

pointing to any specific dildo design as being inherently weird just isn’t a great argument, basically.

when i say “red grapes,” i’m always referring to the ones that are actually red because they have the most satisfying snap when you eat them.
