  • Hey now, Boomers didn't invent anti-intellectualism, they just think they did. Because they're stupid. Then social media put those views out there for other idiots with baby brains to see and identify with.

  • Trump Says ‘I Guess’ When Asked if Americans Should Fear Iranian Attacks

  • "I guess....I mean, YOU maybe. Not me. And not your kids, because we'll send them to Iran before anyone gets a chance to do anything here."

  • ProtonMail provides information used to identify email owner...

    Jump

  • Yeah, exactly. They don't make it hard to not tie personal data to them if you want, you just have to actually DO the thing to take advantage of it. These people seemed to think it was magic, which seems to be how a lot of people think Proton or Tuta works.

  • What I meant is that it functioned similarly to an open primary, but yeah, I see your point. Sorry, it's been 23 years since I saw the ballot until I just found it on wikipedia. What a shitshow that was.

  • To be fair, that is how primaries work. In many states only people registered with the party can pick who ends up at the binary vote. Which forces people to denigrate themselves by capitulating to a party in order to be allowed to run in their primary and get money.

  • Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman

  • And of those that do, I'm sure there's large corporate contracts, negotiated with OpenAI and not going anywhere. Which is why they tell you how many paid subscribers they have, not how many contracts and then individuals.

    The US government subscriptions would account for maybe 1 or 2 million paid users alone, and that might not include Palantir's use of OpenAI models in their systems which then get contracted out.

    This random website claims 44,780 companies reporting using ChatGPT. So entire small companies of 5-10 people might be using it, and then a thousand people at larger companies, that might get you to 10 million users right there.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • Isn't that the trap? "We'll give you all the upgrades for free! Upgrade yourself deeper and deeper into the dark forest, farther from the light where you paid once for apps. Now those apps that works under Windows 10 years ago are no longer compatible and you'll need to pay $1 a month for MS Paint."

    If the OS is free, and then the "modular" aspects are how they nickel-and-dime you into paying $100/mo for the things you used to pay $130 for once.

    From the story:

    Some features of Windows 11 might also be locked away behind a subscription model that are expected to be “advanced AI services”, but the core OS will be a one-time purchase only.

    And if you already paid for Windows 10, then you don't pay. Easy-peasey. But, with new hardware requirements to run CoPilot, there's going to be very few machines that could run Windows 10 that would also run Windows 12. So that lie will fall apart anyway.

    So if you want to make CoPilot less stupid at everything but spying on you, you pay. Want to use your GPU? Subscribe to "Gamer Bundle!" Want access to CMD? Subscribe to "Developer options!"

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • Yeah, and Marlo Stanfield was very one-dimensional. That being said, I think it stopped far short of jumping the shark, and with the newspaper angle, made sense that a cop might leverage information asymmetry to get what they want by taking advantage of a bad journalist making mistakes. The core concept is solid, and maybe there's some moving pieces that don't quite work.

  • meaning they’re giving free upgrades now to future OSes.

    Isn't this essentially a Freemium model? Free to play, pay for the upgrades and premium features like Windows Defender?

  • Since it's not mentioned, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If you liked Firefly, you'll like Buffy. Yes, it has baggage, but that doesn't prevent everyone else in the cast from having their work appreciated. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll dabble in witchcraft.

  • I recently re-watched The Wire, and 100% agree with it. It's at the cusp of being so outdated that only olds will get it and technical elements seem quaint, but wow, it still hits so hard. 25/10, I'll probably watch it again in another 20 years and enjoy it all over again.
