  • Trump again touts his ‘perfect health’ and claims he’s ‘aced’ several cognitive tests in rambling rally speech

    Jump

  • Its entirely possible (in fact likely) that he actually believes that because that's what he's being told, while his enablers are getting completely different conversations from the doctors.

  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Respectfully I'm on the other side of that, but I see what you're saying. I hate skeumorphism and (IMO) flat is a much more professional looking design motif. BUT...that flat has to come with just enough drop-shadow to be able to delineate the layers, otherwise yes, its too flat and indistinguishable.

  • Side bars on anything throw me off because they break the horizontal symmetry of whatever they're a part of.

    Old Ubuntu when the taskbar was vertical on the left, browsers that have the default bookmark bar on the left or the right. Apps where all of the dialogues are bunched to one side, offsetting the main workspace.

    Maybe I'm just Slightly on the spectrum, I don't know, never been diagnosed. But not having my workspace centred and symettrical kind of breaks my brain a bit.

  • Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • The reason the "kill-switch" wasn't made clear originally was because it literally didn't exist until users very vocally tool them where to shove their AI crap.

    It was added on afterwards.

  • World rejoices as MAGA boxer Jake Paul finally beaten senseless

    Jump

  • He could have ended Paul at any point and chose to spend the first five rounds toying with his food. It was probably the most fun he's had in the ring in years.

    In the realm of "narcissists getting their reality check", this is up there with Rousey vs Holm 2015.

  • Oh yes...

    Jump

  • It's mind boggling to me that in today's world, TNG would likely never have gotten a season 2 pickup.

  • Asshole kept getting into the ring with stumblebums so often that he got high on his own supply; started thinking he could actually go toe to toe with a professional. There's a screenshot out there of the exact moment that he realized his mistake and it is fucking glorious.

  • oh come on (edit: yes this is real)

  • Book was one of the best of the Bachman books. I really enjoyed it.

  • India: 7 elephants killed in passenger train collision

    Jump

  • Given the average intelligence of most humans, I'd be willing to wager that most elephants are smarter than that.

  • The forbidden fruit

    Jump

  • Why the hate on Honeydew? Honeydew is awesome!

    I'll admit, sometimes you get a completely tasteless one. But get one at the sweet spot of ripeness...my god...it's ambrosia.

  • Removed Locked

    Opinion: What’s going on with Donald Trump’s health? | Moira Donegan | The Guardian

    Jump

  • TIL Benedict Cumberbatch is the third cousin, 16 times removed from King Richard III who he played in a British miniseries.

  • Just another goddamned nepo baby, then? I knew it.

  • 15 Signs Linux Is Not For You

    Jump

  • Oh shit! That's what we were missing all along! That's what has, all this time, been keeping adoption down and preventing the year of the linux desktop! A condescending prick talking down to people! We should have figured this out a long time ago! Thanks OP for setting us straight! Now our numbers are sure to skyrocket!

  • What fandom or community is the hardest to please?

    Jump

  • ALL OF THEM

    This is the right answer. Because the truth is, you can't have a fandom without passion. And people that are passionate enough to consider themselves part of a fandom community (regardless of it's source) are passionate enough to be vocal and opinionated about it. And there will ALWAYS be some who crank the whine up to 11 and annoy everyone else.

    It's not an issue with any one particular fan community, it's a feature of all of them.

  • What are some sexist stereotypes that need to just stop?

    Jump

  • It's not a stereotype if it's true, though! /s

    On a more serious note, coming from an immigrant family, you can see it very clearly in a lot of those old Eurpoean cultures (Portugal, spain, etc...) The men work, the women (seem) subservient, but honestly, without them, their husbands are absolutely useless at bills, banking, groceries, literally anything that isn't getting up and going to work to make money.

    Most men would absolutely fall apart without their wives because while they can dress for themselves, they sure as hell can't shop for themselves, etc...

    I'm not saying that that'st he modern convention. It isn't at all. It's changing. But there's still a tonne of older women who come in and (half-jokingly) have to buy a bunch of premade meals for their husband because she has to go on the road for a few days and he is useless for that sort of stuff on his own.

  • Coursera to buy Udemy, creating $2.5 billion firm to target AI training

    Jump

  • It's only a matter of time. I want nothing to do with any company that is giving so called "A.I" the time of day.

  • Skate Canada to stop holding national, international events in Alberta

    Jump

  • So a trans man, having been assigned female at birth, could compete in women’s sports?

    I want to see that happen. Watch Danielle Huckabee Smith's head explodel

  • Coursera to buy Udemy, creating $2.5 billion firm to target AI training

    Jump

  • Well..fuck Udemy I guess.

    One of my old employers used to pay out small bonus incentives onto a prepaid credit card for each staff member, and I called it my "fun money" that I would invariably spend on Udemy enrolling in whatever seemed interesting to me. It was truly enjoyable and I feel like I'm a more well rounded person because of it.

    And now AI is going to fuck all of that. I want to learn from PEOPLE, not LLM's cosplaying as A.I.
