Reddit already only allows Google to scrape them now, so as far as I am concerned it is a dead site. Removing my comments is worth it to not feed the monopoly that is Google.

Maybe you are right. But I have seen users say it is harder to set up and then the behaviors of flatpaks can be challenging. I have had issues, and I know what I am doing.

Saw a fan video of watching it live. Hillarious she was calling off each person and then said OMG Its Robert Downey Jr, who isn’t dead and it was actually George Michael. Lol.

I am indifferent that it was AI. It could have been made a dozen different ways: but shouldn’t have. Which is more significant than the method.

It was weird, Ozzy smiling away with his arms around Bob Marley while holding a selfi stick? No, and I like both of them, and what was he Rod trying to say exactly?

Why not just fedora? All these Immutable distros seem like adding even more layers of confusing to someone new.

You are proving my point. Thanks.

And while I am thinking about it…people like you make all of this worse. You have no idea what you are talking about, including insulting me over something I was not saying at all. But you keep being a loudmouth and tell people to be silent. I was not defending any of the negatives of using computers, but relating how YES people complained about them all the way back then, and to some degree the argument never changed.

But you have to realize: using algorithyms (again there is no such thing as AI right now) is not the problem. It is marketing, how people use it without a clue, and corporations. Gee we actually have some things in common.

But then you have to be a dick, and then I begin to not give a shit.

They did say completely. Ban it all they said.

Ban AI. Completely.

That is really short sighted. We all know it is not AI. The marketing is such bullshit.

But we also know that predictive algorithms can be useful. For instance: digitizing a property line, or identifying features in a lidar cloud, or discovering anomalies in blood cells. Then there are prediction tests and what if scenarios.

Seems like this is the same argument people had about computers in general. Ban all computers they said. Who knows maybe this guy in 1968 was right all along. and computers are the problem.

Windows says lots of things. It is surprising how conflicting they are internally.

The thing is, there are a lot of ways to install windows 11. You have a lot of versions to choose from and more options than you think.

Anyways, I think it is all beating a dead horse, although you can get around windows requirements the best thing to do is not play the game.

Switch to Linux and be done with the bullshit.

You still can upgrade for free and use a registry setting to take off the nag screen.

But I really was commenting on people who think they can’t. You can too by buying windows11.

You can bypass that requirement. The hardware is fine you just have to tell windows to ignore it.

2 registry keys if I remember correctly.

They all can upgrade to win 11. Nothing is stopping them. But you have to do a couple of steps.

Either way, Linux is better and Microsoft is playing stupid games.

Yeah, climate change. More rains, more shifts is temperature, more drought as well.

Its going to get A LOT worse.

The article says it’s ruining Pinterest?

Finally a good use for AI.

Seriously seems like these people are morons. “Keeps coming into our feeds” it says. Like the shit on whatever crappy platform you were on wasn’t garbage and a waste of time to begin with.

Lol so true. I had to help a group of them figure out how to use a key card to a hotel room, then heard Jamie Loftus podcast on them and it all made sense.

Funny you should bring up Mensa… Not the brightest people, more like a bizarre cult. He would fit right in.

That is how they got the name. There are a lot of “grateful dead” stories.

Whole books were written on the subject. This one from 1908: https://archive.org/details/gratefuldeadhist00gerorich/page/n7/mode/2up

maybe one of the stories will be similar to your thoughts…

For work I am right there with you. I have been streaming SomaFM for as long as its been around. Several of the channels on there are perfect for working: beat moves forward, no lyrics, great flow.

I do have my own server and about 8 TB of music, 90 percent of which is free and non commercial anyways, lol.

I suppose that is to be expected. They were really not noticed, and spotify more or less put every other option out of business.

Bitcoin specifically was never meant as a currency.

Sure it was, look at the name of Satoshi’s paper: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

I was going to say that to make this accurate they need to show the complete car for windows.

There is a copilot in the passenger seat writing down everything you do and making suggestions left and right, and the screen has to have ad’s on it.

The back seats are empty and the rear doors are locked because you don’t havn’t licensed them.
