So apex that most of us outsource our hunting and farming, which makes us fat and slow unless we purposefully burn energy for no other purpose than to burn it.

Somebody must have had a rad cable label machine

Yes

It’s an interesting observation. Chinese tend to run scrappy operations with something like a “do it no matter what, ethics be damned” strategy.

But it doesn’t bode too well for OpenAIs current level given how much funding and talent they presumably have.

E:\mp3

Ctrl+Shift+V in KeePassXC should autotype username and password in another window, but I believe is still broken out of the box on Wayland.

There may be some workaround that I haven’t tried yet.

Ok I’m a proponent of right to repair and despise manufacturing techniques that lock repair shops out, make spare parts from 3rd parties impossible to install, or create planned obsolescence, or any shenanigans like this. It’s basically anti-everybody else and suggests weakness and fear instead of quality and strength.

But help me understand how it’s possible that our “free market” is enabling this, unless it’s just a controlled market charading as free?

Is John Deere giving the hardware away for free to those who sign long term subscriptions or something?

If John Deere is the Apple-esque ecosystem of tractors where is the “PC” diy manufacture and why doesn’t the market support them.

I remember playing Quake 2 in the dorm at university. This was right as everybody was getting LAN access in their room. Absolutely nostalgic.

A bit pissed at this possibility. Games that I bought many years ago require me to be signed in to use my unlocks, even during solo play.

My company gets a lot of incoming chats from customers (and potential customers)

The challenge of this side of the business is 98% of the questions asked over chat are already answered on the very website that person started the chat from. Like it’s all written right there!

So real human chat agents are reduced to copy paste monkeys in most interactions.

But here’s the rub. The people asking the questions fit into one of two groups: not smart or patient enough to read (unfortunate waste of our resources) or they are checking whether our business has real humans and is responsive before they buy.

It’s that latter group for whom we must keep red blooded, educated and service minded humans on the job to respond, and this is where small companies can really kick ass next to behemoths like google who bring in over $1m per employee but still can’t seem to afford a phone line to support your account with them.

Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.

For much of reddit’s best years, RiF was my top app.

So it’s a plug-in for WordPress that rips wordpress.org links out?

That’s hardcore lol. The world really is pissed at Matt Mullenweg.

Whoops, 18.1 just released breaking changes

Most social media is the wrong format for long-term discussion. Whatever you post, it will soon be replaced by something newer.

Consumers just want that quick dopamine hit every time they open the app.

There are still quite a few phpBB-style bulletin boards out there with threads that survive for years. I think that’s the social media you’re looking for.

Well great. Is it time to start doxxing cops and service members who break their oaths so they can be properly ostracized from society - if and when society survives this?

Kinda sad the state of craigslist these days.

In its heyday you could get anything you wanted immediately.

5 guys to help you move to a new apartment in 1 hr from now, check

5 guys to plow your wife, check

5 guys to plow you too, check.

Also you could sell your old cassette tape collection for $2 negotiated down to $1 when the buyer showed up.

I think I’m understanding the playbook here.

Eventually YouTube will cost 89.99 a month and also be full of ads.

Then they will be disrupted by some startup company that will have to fight uphill for search and bandwidth access through Google’s monopolistic front door.

Years later a court case will be decided and the new guy will be up and running a free service with a few ads or 1.99 a month for no ads!

And then we get to go through it all again.

Well they are sure gonna have fun with all this equipment

It always involves

I wonder what would keep you in history’s mind longer: eating the whole Mona Lisa or eating half the Mona Lisa.
