Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
The last time I used skype, it was to monitor my 3d print because I needed to finish a project and my last attempt went all spaghetti.
So as I was at work I’d log into my computer from my phone, call myself with skype, and check to make sure everything was still okay.
Then I discovered octoprint.
At least you all can get your family to use it.
I can’t even get my spouse to use it unless she thinks what we are talking about might be illegal where we are (it usually isn’t)
I’ve tried convincing family to use it, but all that happens is I just never hear from them until I see them in person or they call me.
They don’t even feel the need to back up their Amazon Kindle collection before they get cutoff from it… Thousands of dollars wasted if they ever lose access to the account.
Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There’s more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon…
But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I’ll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.
It’s the “STOP LIKING WHAT I DON’T LIKE” meme, come to life. And I’d rather let people have their fun. Doesn’t cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.
Weird, I just had a bunch of mls tell me just the other day that a comment I made was strawmanning a hypothetical tankie telling me I’m wrong.
And here we see yet another ml strawmanning.
Super Weird.
All I see is a bunch of people saying this is dystopia nightmare shit, and so far the only person I’ve seen do anything other than call it what it is is the ml comparing this to China.
Surveillance states are bad anywhere, you won’t get many people arguing that city wide government facial recognition is a good thing.
I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn’t know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.
A lot of people have trouble feeling like this, and is a big part of the sunk cost fallacy I think. “I know I’ll like it more later” then eventually becomes “well I’ve made it this far”.
You like what you like, you don’t like what you don’t like. You can’t really change that. It’s okay to put something down if you aren’t engaging with it.
Anecdote ahead:
I keep telling my wife if she doesn’t like one of my books, I won’t be offended if she stops reading.
But she feels like it’s just her “being dumb” and that she’ll like it more next chapter.
I took her to half price books the other day so we could get a bunch of books she likes, and the only reason she decided to buy as many as she did was because “we can sell them back to the store” even though I fully intend in giving away any books she won’t read.
The $2 I’ll get back for it isn’t worth the 45 minute trip there. And someone will probably get more than $2 worth of entertainment from it.
I created a nerd, send bookshelves…
This is why I occasionally watch Bing bong theorem.
It’s garbage, it’s offensive to several groups of people (some more than others), and it has a laugh track.
By all my standards, it’s garbage, with garbage characters played by( a couple) garbage people actors, and half the time it’s not funny at all, not just “not as funny as it thinks it is”
But… I still like to watch an episode here or there.
Don’t get me started on all the people who tell me I should love it because I’m a nerd and I “like space”. Usually these people don’t understand why the “smart” jokes aren’t actually smart and usually they’re giving just enough of a “you need basic education to understand this” so that when the average viewer understands it, they can feel good about themselves for being oh so smart and understanding all that nerd stuff.
And of course you can’t bring any of that up without sounding like a pretentious douche who wants people to think they’re smarter than they are.
So uh… Hi, I guess I’m a pretentious douche. IM SMRT
Like what you like, fuck the h8rz.
They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.
Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”
A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.
So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”
Lmao this guy thinks hard work is what makes people rich instead of massive amounts of exploitation in an inherently exploitative economic system…
Depends on what I’m playing.
I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.
I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.
Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.
The problem is not the price.
The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.
Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing
Name a more iconic duo
Her logic IS undeniable.
The first time I played that I was at the tail end of a marathon session from hyperfixating on the game.
I quit playing for a week because the cutscenes.
And of course beat it first try with no warm up when I came back…
But the business analysts are the most profitable group, anywhere! If you don’t believe me just hire a business analyst to analyze things and they’ll prove it to you!
I haven’t logged into Facebook in over a decade, can’t even remember the login email. Can’t be arsed to jump through hoops to ask for it to be deleted.
Can’t imagine why anyone would willingly make a fb page today.
"They came first for the distros. But I didn’t speak up, because it was only Facebook and only Linux. "
Every single part of this comment just screams “It just wouldn’t be proper!”
And I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to care about what’s “proper” when half my friends now have reasonable fear for their lives, not just “comfort of living” just because they are lgbtq+ living in deep red country.
Okay here’s the plan.
I gonna slam the door open, run straight in, and attack with the most basic of attacks I can think of.
It’s foolproof.
/j then you don’t love your mother enough to learn coding and make a mom-proof distro.
/uj oh my god I have ptsd from the one time my parents tried to switch to apple products. It lasted less than a week. Please don’t let them decide to switch to Linux and ask me things.
