Thanks for expounding upon that. It’s shit like this that gets spread around and older gens pat themselves on the back while shaking their head at the younger gen for not knowing something, despite it being taken out of context or even straight up false.

Was annoyed they broke the second season up like they did, but it was pretty good. Can’t wait for season 3!

Yeah, in hindsight that’s completely fair

I mean I guess that especially a rich person could, for some reason, wear a weird ass scarf designed by someone who thinks in a very out-of-the-box way… but which is more likely?

This is douchebag Musk we’re talking about. Either one is equally possible, lol.

Musk really did post this.

Whether he used an AI generator or not, it’s possible. But honestly, I could easily see him paying for a photoshoot for this since he announced moving SpaceX to Texas.

That’s interesting. I wonder how true that still is today, given the study was done in 2016. The study also pointed out that even on the same platform, people on average interpreted the same emojis differently. I’d be interested in an updated study conducted among younger Gen Z to see if being completely raised in the digital age has created various emoji languages, especially across cultures (which they mention they wanted to do at the end of the article as well).

Oh that’s such an obvious idea, can’t believe I didn’t think to do that… Thanks, I’ll definitely give it a try!

Edit: using User Agent Switcher and pretending to be Chrome worked immediately. This is definitely YouTube fucking with Firefox users again. They must be doing A/B/etc group testing which is why not every Firefox user is experiencing it, but many are if you go to the Firefox tech support threads.

Is YouTube not slow for you on Firefox? Both my windows pc and Linux PC have super slow buffering on YouTube lately with Firefox. On mobile it’s fine, somehow. Nothing seems to help. And it’s not my Internet, everything else is normal speed except YouTube.

But what if we use AI in robots and have them go out with giant vacuums to suck up all the bad gasses?

My climate change solution consultation services are available for hire anytime.

Yeah, countries obtaining uranium really isn’t that big of an obstacle.

Pretty sure it’s just a figure of speech, bud

Whoa, wtf? How did I miss that drama, haha holy shit. I definitely remember downloading it a few years ago and being aghast at its absurd size (think it was around 120GB? which nowadays that’s pretty par for the course because fuck optimization). But gutting half your content just to save space… have they not heard of compression? Like what the hell were they thinking haha

The recent Prince of Persia game was actually pretty good. I definitely acquired it on my Switch thru alternate methods, but I almost felt bad because I do wish for them to return to that kind of game design on the regular versus a one-off with that title.

Is there a big advantage to using Moonlight/Sunshine vs the built-in Steam remote play feature? I regularly stream from my desktop to my Steam Deck without too many issues, although sometimes I get weird minor problems (e.g. Banishers Ghosts of New Eden will be noticeably darker, Elden Ring will get random “flashes” where the screen kind of blinks for a split second from time to time). These issues are hardly a big deal for me, so I’m more curious than seeking a true alternative.

Our SSDs just have to be wiped but we still have to document and provide proof they were wiped and turned in. HDDs and tapes are a different story and a pain in the ass, though.

I’m super jealous. Whenever we decom servers at work, we’re required to fill out paperwork and provide proof that all HDDs and SSDs were properly destroyed (i.e. rendered completely unusable and wiped) and turned in to our disposal department. The servers themselves also have to be handed over to them. I’m not sure what they do with the servers, but I’m guessing they either repurpose them as emergency replacements for other sites that have hardware failures or they bulk sell them at auctions or something.

A fairly aggressive comment. I’m not the person you replied to, but as a parent with young ones, there are times where TV is literally an enormous rescuer. For example, just a couple of months ago, the entire family got hit with an extremely nasty stomach bug. I could barely walk without needing to either throw up or shit my pants. Being able to setup a little triage center in our living room for us and the kids, where we napped and watched movies all day, made that experience at least mostly bearable.

There are numerous other cases where modern technology makes parenting far easier. Back in the day, communities were much closer knit and extended family lived within the neighborhood, so parents had a lot more backup to help in those situations. Nowadays, that kind of support network is increasingly rare for parents to have. So yes, it’s a luxury, but it should be an accessible luxury. Private companies are free to do what they want, doesn’t mean we can’t complain about it while begrudgingly continuing to pay for it.

Oh 100%, but if you’re never allowing yourself free time, you’re going to end up having side effects from that. Regardless, you shouldn’t need to sleep deprive yourself in order to get some time off.

It’s a double-edged sword as abandoning your personal time is mentally exhausting. But, yeah, being consistently sleep deprived creates a domino effect of making everything less enjoyable or even miserable, including your personal time.
