  • Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"

    Jump

  • If I want AI for whatever reason I will go search for AI. I don't need a chatgot like service running on my PC all the time for the handful of times I might want to use it. I will go to chatgpt if I need to use it for something.

  • Should Canadian politicians be allowed to block their constituents on social media?

    Jump

  • They also shouldn't be allowed to do anything political on their personal accounts, such as trying to get contributions or clarify political stances, etc. if they have any potential constituents banned or blocked

  • Female tourist takes down phone-snatcher in Argentina

    Jump

  • Nah, anarchy probably wouldn't have cops to come pick him up at the end. They'd just beat him some more until they felt justified enough cause what else ya gonna do?

  • YSK about the French Republican Calendar

    Jump

  • Yes I would also love a new calendar. But we can hardly come to consensus on getting rid of daylight savings time let alone a new calendar lol.

  • I don't see why it sucks, it just makes sense to start it on the winter solstice as the days start to get longer and longer / shorter and shorter depending on the hemisphere you are in

  • I wouldn't mind 6 days on 4 days off

  • Eh fuck religions, they can keep their old antiquated calenders.

  • YSK about the French Republican Calendar

    Jump

  • I would like this calender but we would need to adjust it so that new years falls on the winter solstice.

    Plus the 5 leap days would need to be a global celebration / holiday period, and the 6th day every 4 years a massive holiday.

  • I wouldn't mind a 10 day week if it meant work 6 and then get a 4 day weekend.

    But who am I kidding our corporate overlords would expect at least 8 on and 2 off

  • Screw your zodiac sign, tell me...

    Jump

  • Wait... Was I a poor kid?

  • Disney didn't mention 'diversity' in its annual report for the first time since 2019

    Jump

  • Companies only care about what makes them more money. If they can pull more customers by saying they love diversity, they love diversity. If they think they will lose more customers, they don't love diversity.

  • Octavius Rex (Alpha Male)

    Jump

  • Yo this dude didn't mention hunting or owning guns. How lame.

  • Do you think Trump will fall because of the new Epstein emails?

    Jump

  • It's a good tactic because whatever lies the Whitehouse comes up with to defend against the first few leaked things might be countered by the next few leaked things. They have no idea what is available to be leaked next so have to be careful what they say.

    If it all came out at once they would know exactly what they have to work with when crafting their story.

    As well, coming out a little bit at a time means people can focus and pay attention to the details, discuss it.

    If 20,000 emails were all of a sudden leaked hardly anyone would care because no one would be talking about the same things at the same time and the details get lost

  • Heineken UK cuts Foster's beer alcohol strength to 3.4% - BBC News

    Jump

  • I don't get why people even bother with stuff like Coors and bud and Heinekan or whatever. There are lots of other options that are good and not close to water. I have not once bought any of those big corporate run beers since I started drinking beer.

  • kiss kiss, bang bang

  • I can see why journals would not want to publish boring papers in the days of paper magazines and limited space but why would they not be published digitally nowadays? Limited by people able to review them?

  • Refrigerator ads are finally here!

    Jump

  • I don't think a content provider should be allowed to have more than 5-10% of their content be advertisements.

    Website screen space, newspapers, tv channels, etc

    Instagram shouldn't have more than 1-2 sponsored post for every 20 posts. At the moment it seems closer to 10.

    An hour long TV slot shouldn't have more than 3-6 minutes of advertisement. At the moment it's closer to 20-30.

  • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin

    Jump

  • Windows has had a bug that's driven me mad since before Windows 10 and it doesn't seem they have any intentention to fix it.

    When I try to rename files, I always click somewhere in the text of the name or highlight a specific portion, and then 90% of the time RIGHT before I start typing to add or change the name, it randomly highlights the entire thing so the whole text gets replaced instead of the one section I wanted to change.

    INFURIATING and it's been years that it's happened, between two different versions of Windows!

    There's also another 2 or 3 other bugs that are just as infuriating but I don't imagine will ever be fixed or changed because why the fuck would microsoft care.

  • I hate how tech companies just constantly want to change everything.

    Just give me something usable that I can get shit done with and fuck off. I don't want your changes and updates and new feature.

  • Girl, 13, expelled for hitting classmate who made a deepfake porn image of her, lawyers say

    Jump

  • Schools with zero tolerance policies are bullshit.

    Sometimes kids hit other kids. They're figuring shit out.

    Plus sometimes situations deserve a little violence.

    Give a warning and expell the boy for the AI image instead. That does a hell of a lot more damage than a light smacking.
