“Getting”

Which ER did they go to? Hmmm.

Ha, I’m not on here. Wait, that’s probably a bad thing.

How is #6 only GIS and not also normal for many gaming rigs?

Part of that has to be media attention. Can’t support a cause you didn’t hear about because your particular feed went with something else that gets more clicks.

This is how the meme should be used.

They saw things. Terrible, horrible things.

I thought he was perfect in Bladerunner 2049. He’s got creepy narcissist down.

Because paying more for a feature makes the feature work better. How about admitting that not using other ways to see the road was a mistake, Elon?

Where the peak is depends on how you measure it. Wavelength or frequency gives different curves. If measures as a perfect blackbody the peak is green (which is connected to why chlorophyll took off, even though it’s less efficient for energy capture). But we get all visible light to some degree, so its color is white. Classification has a different meaning than what it looks like.

I don’t disagree at all with that aspect. As a minority who has been screaming at the others, it’s hard to both try to explain why we’re going down this path while totally understanding why the world is looking at us like we’re all insane. Fire may be the only remedy at this point.

I disagree with the timeline. I’m old, and things were already in motion when I was born. This has been a long train wreck with so many false points of hope and promises of change tricking and deluding us.

I have the same take on humanity as a whole. It’s been a long road of disappointment with lots of missed exits to possible better times.

Yes, I guess. But can they? Without consequences, that is.

I suppose everyone has their own set and level of consequences that keep them from immediately reacting or trying to stop events.

No way humans could have done that on their own. Inconceivable.

It’s not necessarily garbage, but it sure isn’t curated either. Throwing everything into the blender and hoping the mechanism will usually spit out good info is a scientific spinning of the roulette wheel. Sometimes the odds are pretty good. Sometimes they’re horrible, and you should know better than to expect anything but.

But AI has become the shiniest hammer, and every damn thing is a nail now.

Using Linux and everything else not Microsoft:

“I’m doing my part!”

so 42.

I’m all for it. I think it was the initial vision for the internet and web, and we got sidetracked by growth and commercialization. I do have to wonder if such a move did happen, a sudden shift of mainstream to here (in general, the Activity Pub’s various forms), could it handle it? Fast growth was a huge hit with the Reddit migration(s), and that was “just” Reddit.

Think ICE is that strict on hiring? It’s who they’re recruiting for.

Discussions that I’ve seen (not here necessarily but in general) seem to bring up Kubuntu as a light weight option for systems that can’t handle the more “bloated” vanilla Ubuntu. And it’s why I put it on an old MacBook I had, because other mainstream Linux flavors were a bit much - no, I didn’t try Arch, I’m also still a beginner technically. Kubuntu works great without overloading it. Doesn’t mean you can’t use it on a more powerful system of course.

My only regret with using Ubuntu for my main is some issues I’ve run into with Snap, but I’m learning how to figure that out and find alternatives like Flakpak, Apt, or using an AppImage when it fails me or seems broken. The lack of updated versions has been the biggest problem. Other than that, the OS itself has been running great. I did have to go with 22.04 because 24.04 just refused to install correctly, had 22.04 also given me problems I probably would be with a different distro.

This is what you respond when they ask what you have to hide.
