  • You mean like complaining on the Internet about a throwaway joke in a webcomic?

    The Friends dig was just a utilitarian punchline for the comic to add some comedy to the informative nature of the first panel. I dunno why people take things to heart so much when there really are so, so many better shows than Friends. The comic doesn't even say that Friends is bad, just that there's better. Show viewing options have expanded and improved a lot since 1994.

  • Some people don't mind sharing the land they have with them. Especially as the land available to wildlife decreases year on year.

    Personally I'll take insects and native rodents over sterile trimmed grass any day, especially for the front yard which doesn't even get used aside from a 'keeping up with the Joneses' style lawn and garden manicure unspoken competition.

  • Your comment makes no sense with respect to this story.

    I don't use AdguardDNS's services but they are going above and beyond in their response to this spurious claim, seems very professional to me. If you read the story and weren't happy with them and it's boistered your desire to roll completely unfiltered DNS so that you won't have any CSAM domains blocked, well.. weird flex.

  • Interesting read, great to have a window into the work done by AdguardDNS in the background to ensure their systems are not being manipulated by false claims.

    I hope there will be a follow up and investigation from the French police or whomever is responsible for enforcing the LCEN law abuse provisions.

  • I never understood what it was people did on Twitter. I understand it even less now that it is X.

  • No.

    From this communities sidebar:

    A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

    Rules

    1. All posts must be showerthoughts
    2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
    3. No politics

    This is borderline rule 3 violation because it's just baiting people to shit on Twitter/X for political reasons - not that it doesn't deserve it, but that's not what this comm is for.

  • Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned

    跳过

  • The same reality where GPT5's launch a couple months back was a massive failure with users and showed a lot of regression to less reliable output than GPT4? Or perhaps the reality where most corporations that have used AI found no benefit and have given up reported this year?

    LLMs are good tools for some uses, but those uses are quite limited and niche. They are however a square peg being crammed into the round hole of 'AGI' by Altman etc while they put their hands out for another $10bil - or, more accurately while they make a trade swap deal with MS or Nvidia or any of the other AI orobouros trade partners that hype up the bubble for self-benefit.

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

    跳过

  • I think you are enormously overestimating their abilities to:

    A) reflect on poor management decisions that hurt users. They have increased their company valuation TEN-fold under Satya Nadella over the last 11 years, and his push to cannibalise the hosted-services partners and Gold partners with Azure/365 made them a lot of ground before then. They became the second company ever to reach a valuation of $3T back in 2024. If you think a (globally) handful of unhappy home OS users will cause then to change course - I don't think so, certainly never been my experience with MS.

    B) win back most of the users they have lost to Windows. Why would those users return? They have what they need with their new solutions, and moving to them was a time and education cost that they have now fully paid, they're invested. They'd have to have something very compelling to bring them back beyond, "hey guys we stopped being shit! ######for now "

  • Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election, pardon attorney says

  • "Look I dunno about you guys, but when I need to tuck in my shirt in front of a young girl whom I've just met - I always just lie down on a bed in front of her while staring weirdly at her and then tuck my shirt all the way down and fumble for a while with my dick. That's just how I was taught to do it" - Rudy Guliani, apparently.

  • He promised he would to the Libertarian Party for their votes, at a major Libertarian rally/meeting which he was the VIP guest of before the election.

    What's really shocking is that he actually followed through on his promise.

    Weird that this was their big ask, though: pardon the international darkweb drug website guy, because freedom means I put whatever I like in my body with no regulations; be that a fairly harmless bag of weed or deadly research drugs from China or Russia. Why not, say.. Federal legalisation of weed? Or something else that would benefit them all in their lives..

    Nope:

  • That was definitely impactful, but I can't blame gore for that failing, it was a coup subverting democracy.

    The judges that helped Bush secure the win were also permanently enshrined in the US's broken legal system: John Roberts, Brett Cavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett.

  • Coles says explicitly that they do not use facial recognition.

    Bunnings and Kmart on the other hand did up until 2022, and then backed off after complaints and bad press.

    Coles does employ Palantir systems though, which is gross.

  • Editing federal employees’ emails to blame Democrats for shutdown violated their First Amendment rights, judge says

    跳过

  • Yep. Just the threat of it. For far, far less than Trump has done.

    I am no fan of the Clintons but when the Republicans turned impeachment into a political toy in the 90s it lost a lot of weight. And then by the time of Trump it was easy to dispell as a 'witch hunt' to his base.

  • News organizations have in-house usage rules for words, especially modern words that have evolving usage.

    Email as a mass noun plural is correct usage, as in "this server handles a massive amount of email every day". Emails can also be contextually correct as a plural, eg "I received hundreds of emails today".

    As the number of email edited by the department and sent out is being treated as a countable noun, this headline is definitely acceptable usage.

  • First off fuck Trey Parker and Matt Stone for their dumb take on it at the time, climate change is real and I agree with An Inconvenient truth for the most part (one lake he highlighted as drying up in the US was actually drained by intensive agriculture wells - everything else accurate). But his biggest failing was setting up a carbon trading company literally at the same time he was telling everyone climate change was real, and that the best measure to deal with it was governments setting up carbon trading.

    Of course as soon as people whom are wary of this huge claim learn that he has a profit motive, then they're going to suspect he is only trying to line his own pockets.

    All he had to do was spread the message and not be greedy, but he couldnt help himself.
