Cosmic microwave? Is that what you are calling “ants in a snowstorm” these days?

Yeah, and Alexa/Siri/Google assistant don’t eavesdrop unless you use the magic words to activate them.

I’m having flashbacks to Windows 8 being heavily developed to be “touch optimized” at a time where 3% of computers had touchscreen capabilities.

Exactly. So if people stop going there, then there is no reason to go there. Full circle, people go there because they go there. Let’s just stop fucking doing that.

Why don’t we just let Twitter/X die? It’s not like it’s an essential platform, there are other places to post short-form bullshit opinions. Twitter/X is not the sole supplier of any resources except their own brand name. Just walk away and let it burn. Without massive public engagement, it’s just a more expensive to run Truth Social.

The difference between atheist and theist is the belief in N fewer gods, where N is the number of gods the theist believes in.

I thought those last two were Doom cheat codes for a hot minute.

That said, this data should be limited in scope and use…

Yep, anonymized, limited, non-distributable, and secured, with severe penalties (on the order of tens of thousands of dollars per person, paid to the harmed party) for failure to adhere.

It’s there, but people forget about it when they can get a 4" bigger TV for 100 bucks less.

Nervously glances at TPM and TSA approved locks.

Th evidence is undeniable right now, whether you trust the science or not, the facts are easily observable to the layman.

We have a new summer heat record every year, for at least 10 years.

Hurricanes and severe weather becomes more frequent and more powerdul every year.

Sharpen/replace the blade. It’s cheap and easy to do, and it will cut like a brand new mower.

Also, this is a PSA that you should sharpen your shovel. Makes digging way easier.

Send me a link and I can get you to ~12 million and 1 listens.

That would create weak concrete in the exact place you absolutely do not want weak concrete.

Something overflowed somewhere…

This is the computer equivalent of “I don’t wear a seatbelt because I don’t want to be trapped in the car if there is an accident.”

“I reboot it every night.”

The joker isn’t the disease in Gotham, he’s the symptom. In a world where the effort of an individual results in proportional gains, where people have a home, family, and attachments to their community, there is no joker. The populace is innoculated against his desire to tear it all down, because they have a stake in “it all”. The few that are vulnerable to his views, are getting the support and care they need from trained staff, and the people around them are keeping the joker away. Batman isn’t in Gotham because of the Joker; the Joker can exist in Gotham because of Batman, a billionaire who spent his efforts and resource on violence, instead of outreach.

Plus, giving OSHA some teeth, and forcing corporations to compensate fairly for workplace accidents, and regulations requiring the inspection and certification of toxic chemical plants would have stopped the joker, and countless other tragedies, at a fraction of the cost.

Stop, you’re scaring me.

Had to go into the office twice just to turn on a computer. 3rd time I went to each machine and enabled wake-on-lan.

Also set backup devices to automatically turn on at 2 in the morning, so if they crashed, I could just wait until the next day, if the machines didn’t boot themselves then I had a real problem.
