They’re also the thing that’s going to kill you.

But what if I wanted to communicate with humans instead of propaganda-bots? Then yes, that Internet is dead, and there's no real fucking reason to be on most of those sites.

I think an algorithm that sounds unprepared to deal with children is insufficient.

blusterydayve26 ,

Oh NOOOOOO!! Not the obvious and inevitable consequences of my actions

But I’m a corporation, consequences are for the little guys, like the State Department)!

You can't expect them to improve that much in just one quarter.

Do you mean the Trump Fake Elector Plot?

blusterydayve26 ,

If you’re trying to use them correctly. Otherwise, they’re just “less lethal” and easier to deploy.

The word you’re looking for is “Plutocracy,” and it has a long history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutocracy

Seems like a pretty good use of /c/lost+found

blusterydayve26 ,

But, like, for non-commercial fan sites, not for influencers.

It’s the carcinisation of programming languages. Everything evolves into JavaScript.

Though let’s be real, even JavaScript evolves into Lisp.

It’s a $6000 upcharge. I think you have to make an appointment for it?

blusterydayve26 ,

You’re two years late.

Maybe not for the reputable ones, that’s 2026, but these sheisters have been digging out the bottom of the swimming pool for years.

Gemini webrings are the future?

blusterydayve26 ,

Is it really a solution, though, or is it just GIGO?

For example, GPT-4 is about as biased as the medical literature it was trained on, not less biased than its training input, and thereby more inaccurate than humans:

Too boring and predictable to be a joke.

The kind the anti government wants you to believe that people believe exist, of course.

Where climate change is going, there won’t be civilization.

There you go, assuming the problem is worth the corporation's time and money to bother solving. The correct answer is to not bother hiring a customer support department and telling people that they're SOL when stuff goes wrong. The goal is to take in more money than you spend on customer support, so you spend none.

It’s a damn fine shame this is only necessary after Scott Walker gave a $2 billion tax break to his 10,000 wealthiest donors.

blusterydayve26 ,

I think they’re pointing out the precision-of-language thing: a-theism is the belief that god does not exist. A-gnosticism is the belief that you are unsure whether any number of gods exist. The least amount of opinion you can have about deities is to be a disinterested agnostic (I think?): “I don’t care if god exists enough to wonder about it.”

(Since you can point to the deceitful-god theory to say that the entire universe formed in this instant with this state, and your memories are just a result of god’s machinations a moment ago, both atheism and agnosticism are non-disprovable. The deceitful-god theory may run counter to the common Christian doctrine of Theodicy and may therefore not be subscribed to by many.)

The cities are liberal, but there’s a lot of rural communities that have never had to deal with people before.

The northeast is known for being kind but not nice. Four New Yorkers will carry your luggage down the subway stairs and never look at you once. The south is known for being nice, but not kind. That’s where the poisoned sweet tea comes from. The west is known for neither, if you have car trouble, the best you can hope for in Portland is being ignored. The Midwest is known for being both nice and kind, where neighbors will shovel you out and wish you a nice day before going on to the next car.

blusterydayve26 ,

I don’t know if it’s property so much as just being around and having to live around so many different people. Like, if I take the bus, I’ll probably pass a hundred different folks to and from work, and only two are going to annoy me.

But, it’s a lot easier to be insular if I live in a small town with 300 people, and can easily assume all my problems are someone else’s fault. I’ll see three new people a week when the tourists stop at the gas station.

30 kph is fine, but the top speed in the US is 45 kph (Class I vs Class III) feels crazy fast.

blusterydayve26 ,

If the median household income is 75k, assuming dual-income, then that’s probably where the 35k comes from: 75k/2 = 37.5k.

blusterydayve26 ,

Is there any number under 20 that doesn’t have Christian religious significance? Because otherwise, you’re just saying that you have two numbers.

blusterydayve26 ,

That used to be the dream: corps hired you to work on the thing they needed that you were good at. Now, though, they just want everything for free and just acquihire to reassign you to whatever makes more money.

blusterydayve26 ,

I dunno, Folding Ideas broke down Fortnite's monetization policies, and they're pretty damn barbaric, particularly in how they target kids.

blusterydayve26 ,

Condos? You aren’t thinking big enough. We’ll need casinos to get this baby rollin.

blusterydayve26 ,

So AT&T has lost 90% of its subscriber base? Neat!

God, fuck react in the eye with the pointy shit-covered hunting-sticks of our ancestors. Useless technology that directly breaks the web because there’s never any fallback, so all you get is a blank page. Not even a “please-enable js” message.

That was a delightful game, thank you for the reminder. Kinda wish I still had it or that someone had a remake.

Archive does have the originals though:

Hey, if you don’t need your worldly possessions anymore, just lmk, I take venmo.

This looks like a housing-first approach to resolving homelessness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_First

Thereby, LMFAO was proved to be the best musicians ever. QED.

Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service

See title - very frustrating. There is no way to continue to use the TV without agreeing to the terms. I couldn't use different inputs, or even go to settings from the home screen and disconnect from the internet to disable their services. If I don't agree to their terms, then I don't get access to their new products. That...

blusterydayve26 ,

Did the old device agreement allow them to brick it until you agreed to the new agreement? If not, I say file that class action.

blusterydayve26 ,

Wait, what did I miss?

blusterydayve26 ,

Or KSP gone crazy.

blusterydayve26 ,

I promise it’ll be forever, this time.

blusterydayve26 ,

I want that on a sticker dontchaknow.

blusterydayve26 ,

Putonium, obvs.

blusterydayve26 ,

So we can either have secure cars or late stage capitalism? Sounds like a worthwhile trade.

That sounds like next quarter’s problem!

blusterydayve26 ,

Everything’s getting so complicated these days, they even added a fourth step: Stop, drop, Atoll, Atone.

blusterydayve26 ,

Congratulations! The music will stay with you forever.

gave up playing their bread and butter game

Search was never Google’s money maker, that was AdWords. Search was merely the tool they used to get users in the door and exposed to AdWords, where they made their money. AdWords raked in ~100M/day in the early 2010s iirc.
