  • we need more users

  • It is. It's one of the reasons i've pivot back to reddit these last few months.

    1. More then Reddit this place is an echo chamber for the far left anti capitalist crowd. While I don't mind a discussion, everything over simplified to EAT THE RICH was getting tiresome.
    2. No company or institution is here. If I have a problem with my [insert device or appliance here] chances are good someone on reddit will reply and 50/50 there is a useable answer somewhere. Here it just stays silent. Or you get the anti capitalist reply that everything is fucked and we should just eat the rich.
    3. There are no real gaming or device or brand communities. Want to ask something about modding game x? Not here. Want to hook up with other players of game y? Not here. Want to know how to fix your [household appliance here]? Not here..Have a problem with mainboard from brand z? Not here.
    4. When you ask something here about Linux or any other gpl software the answer often times boils down to RTFMI! (I= idiot) That also happens on reddit to be honest. But here it's just more extreme. And I know I'm an idiot. That's why I asked. I'm too stupid can someone please explain.
    5. Where the fuck is LJDawson. Sync is dead it seems.

    And yes. Reddit more and more feels like an AI test site. For example the AITA posts are getting more and more out of this world. They are unbelievable, that's just for clicks. So the enshittification is not slowly but very fast becoming a problem and within a few months it will be another youtube, unusable. But for now... It's the best we have.

  • For the most part AI is the best OCR ever designed. And if used for that it really is great. Most AI agents you see our there are mostly just used for that: ocr.

    It's also nice-ish to start writing simple programs, if you know how it works it sets you more or less in the right path in a few prompts. That head start can be nice.

    It also helps in Excel with charting.

    It also is helpful for acquiring knowledge. AS LONG AS YOU CHECK THE LINKED SOURCES.

    If you don't you will crash and burn. Not eventually but quick.

    So yes, AI does have uses and Yes, it will cost some people their jobs, especially in knowledge Industries and IT.

    But then again, that's a tale as old as time. Stuff changes.

    (AI) datacenters will not go away. Desktop processing will vanish. And then, 15 years from now, someone gets a great idea and starts selling Personal AI computers. And this cycle will redo from start.

  • He is just saying:

    It is YOUR choice to drink too much. To smoke too much, to get high on heroin, to do coke. To eat fatty sugary foods. It is your body, your temple. Not that of the government.

    He is not talking about a law framework, he is talking about a moral framework. What right do YOU have to tell me what I can and cannot do when my actions can only hurt myself?

    To take this one step further: All narcocrimes come from one simple fact: BECAUSE it's illegal, the possible profits are so vast that any risk becomes acceptable to the Narcos.

    Make it legal. Regulate it. Like we did with smokes and alcohol. Slap a 16/18+ sticker on it, add some tax.

    We learned this during the prohibition, the gangster era. But for some reason or another we still use that proven False logic when it comes to narcotics.

    Make something which people want illegal and there will be uncontrollable crime. That crime will harden. This (the current path of the us government) is not a solution, it is an escalation. There will be a response.

  • From a non US Perspective (most of the world) this is a non issue.

    Because for the rest of the world the answer to this dilemma boils down to:

    Do you want to be shook down by the big guy in the left corner with the can of coke in his hand or do you prefer to be fucked over by that big Asian guy in the right corner who's slurping on his bubble tea?

    I choose the one who demands the least.

  • if you really believe Tim Apple isn't doing the same shit only a Little bit smarter so its les obvious then I'm sorry to wake you from your dream but:

    All big tech is bad. Apple. Microsoft. Oracle. Meta. Snap. IBM. Digital Ocean. Amazon. Etc.

    There are no good guys. Only bad and worse. Its not the good, the bad and the ugly. It's the bad (Apple), the really bad (Microsoft and most of the rest) and the obnoxiously bad. (Special place in hell for Meta, TikTok and Google)

  • .... Err .. no? Or you have very raw fabric clothing or something else is up, bud.

    Or do you mean you normally used no underwear when working out and it isn't that long ago (months, not years) since you had the procedure. Then yeah, there is a difference. But it all err.. should work out.

    Speaking as one to the other if you catch my drift. Be happy you did it bud, the pain was just the one of the nasty other complications possible.

  • I just love MiG's. Why? Because the ruskies just rawdogged everything. They saw the F16 with all that fancy fly by wire stuff and made a nimble MiG without any real computer assisted flying with the fulcrum. You have the fastest plane with the SR-71? Well fuck that, here , we've put an after burner on that MiG-31 so big it more or less matches the SR-71 speed. It just burns through the engine in one flight and the airframe also takes a big hit when you use it but who cares about costs, we're commies.

    Soviet aerospace engineers man. You just have to love them. They really used that hammer logic (hit it harder!) on everything.

    Or the approach which led to the hind heli. What? You need a gunship and you need a troop transport? What do you say, the Americans have pinpoint precision on that superCobra and that shiny Apache thingy?

    Here, i've made it big so it can fit a lot of troops. I've added some large wings so you can fill her up with all kinds of low tech Rockets so you don't need pinpoint precision. Just point and click in the general direction and everything over there is annihilated. Yeah, that goes for that tank and that family of twelve 100m further down the street where you didn't aim at as well.

    But, they aren't us anyway so.... And next to that the fucker is really fast for such a big helo..

    The design principles are so fantasticly wack. Matching (try to) western computertech with low tech solutions.

  • The exact workings im not familiar with but it's called "leveraged buyout" where the net worth of the firm which is bought is the collateral.

    So .. you buy firm A with money you lended. When the sale gors through all belongings of firm A are yours! So you sell them off, you know what? You want to make a profit so you sell EVERYTHING.

    Now firm A is but a husk of it's former self. So now is the time to put it in some holding company or something. Now the husk of firm A is indebted to you.

    Oh noes! It goes bankrupt! With your investment firm as the biggest lender to it!

    More or less mainstream games: Helldivers2 (!!!) Xcom (ufo: enemy unknown) Xcom Xcom 2 Civilisation Etc..

    With Games, like with all art, it's impossible to point to 1 or two which are the best. I've read many books, watched many films, series, plays, listened to music and played a lot of games.. i can't just pick one or two which where "the best". I can name a bunch which where great though.

  • Tried it twice. Couldn't get a dog from the shelter. Why? We weren't married. (?) The both of us worked 4 days. We had a child.

    So we shrugged it off, waved and snuggled with the sad doggies and never came back.

    And we just bought a puppy. No rules. No problems. Now, 20+ years later we're on to our third very happy dog.

    Anyway: a lot of shelters do their best to scare people away. And they succeed.

  • Boy, 11, shot dead after playing doorbell-ringing prank in Houston, police say

  • Ja, Limburg. Vandaar. ;)

    Edit: the axeguy was stopped by visitors of a local bar while pursuing the little girl. Noone got seriously injured and the unhinged moron was left in police custody.

    Now, in the US these kind of stories have a different ending. In the US this guy would've shot the girl and rampaged through that bar.
