I hate the impacts of cars too, and desperately want better transit options.
But we should maybe put up a sign for stories out of North America:
“North America is really really big. It sucks that it doesn’t have better mass transit coverage, but that’s still a genuinely hard problem to solve in rural North America.”
Most folks in rural North America have stories both of being the rescued and being the rescuer when cars have broken down.
Wow, I totally missed the part where Microsoft had a gun to your head.
Yes. Microsoft is good at hiding that part until it’s too late to do much about it.
There’s no industry pressure to be on Gamepass, yet.
Microsoft doesn’t willingly lose money on something unless they think they can make it into a market distorting rent extraction hellscape. something very profitable later.
A really high percentage on common hiring practices are completely illegal. Many people who should hire a little bit of legal advice usually don’t.
On the scale of such things, this looks pretty chill.
Many firms are now slashing their number of new hires.
Yes. This sucks.
The main cause of this is artificial intelligence
Unlikely.
The main cause for a chill in hiring tends to be uncertainty about the future. And we know that folks are feeling high uncertainty about the future, right now. (Gestures broadly at current headlines in general and “Not The Onion”, in particular.)
Historically, uncertainty about the future is particularly high when the people have low confidence that existing and new laws will be applied in a predictable manner.
I’ll leave exactly what changed on that front as a thought exercise.
AI is interesting, but it is not the primary cause of the chill in hiring new graduates.
and the internet (in the current form) never gets developed.
based on my recent online shopping experiences, we may get there, soon.
It feels like nobody knows how to Java a Script anymore.
Seems that some folks from Iowa would rather go to court than stop being cruel to animals.
I’ll keep my judgement to myself, but it is scathing.
Tablet pornography must be nice.
That seems like someone who made a plan, and then lived out their best evening.
I imagine those tablet Pornhub users probably prepared themselves a nice mixed drink, set out some snacks, and got all cozy in a bathrobe first.
Tablet pornhub sounds like some kind of intentional self care.
Haha!
But uh…I would watch that. That sounds pretty hot.
Sorry. We need to learn to ask nicely.
Please upgrade to Linux?
sudo upgrade to Linux?
RunAs -Admin upgrade to Linux?
Be sure to take a moment to reboot into desktop, and search the built in Linux app store for free games. There’s some absolute gems.
Edit: And after installing, right click the game on the desktop or menu, and choose “Add To Steam”, to make it show up in the usual Steam interface.
It can be hard to guess who to bribe, or how big each bribe should be?
Uh… So no gift. Got it.
Just tell him respectfully, sometime.
As a parent, myself:
The answer is 2.
Cling to known humans who write their own code.
Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.
Someday ethically sourced AI can be used responsibly by trustworthy coders.
But the key is choosing to collaborate with trustworthy coders.
Protect the Dolls, for those unfamiliar. Neat.
I’m constantly amazed that this is a hard subject for people. As the golden rule says:
“I’m not going to reach into your pants, without an invitation. And I prefer no one reach into my pants, because we barely know each-other. Whatever someone tells me is in their pants, I’ll take their word for it, as long as they haven’t flashed me in public. Also, shitting in practically transparent stalls is awful for everyone, and showering with strangers sucks. Let’s all just do less of both.”
There’s been some great ideas here, but I like yours the best.
Bill Burr complaining about being forced to be the pope would be amazing.
“I’m not going to lead mass. Leading mass is Charlie Work!”
Yes. It is bullshit that a city that size lacks functional transit.
But it is in the middle of nowhere, compared to much of the world, so each person has a compelling reason to own a car, if only to occasionally escape from Columbus, OH.
It can become better, but the challenges are real.
