- Comment on 'America is not happy': ABC under fire for pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! 1 day ago:
People who say that sort of thing tend to be the sort of people who have the political awareness of a sloth. When you spend 15 seconds talking to them it becomes very apparent that they haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about.
I’ve never met anyone (non-American) who seriously expresses support for Trump who isn’t like that.

The problem with the Westminster system is it does rather assume that all the parties are equally competent. When you have one party that’s utterly useless, it doesn’t really work as it just gives a free pass to the other party to do whatever.
UK Labour are currently swinging all over the place and it’s impossible to work out where they stand on anything. The issue been the Tories are so completely incapable of holding them to account. They have apparently decided that they are not keen on Trump, so at least they finally work that out.

I’ve got a kid on the way and I’m going to have to start learning what all these programs are. All I can remember is Thomas the Tank Engine and Magic School Bus. I’m guessing they’re not on anymore.

As far as I can tell. They have just drawn a line on a random distribution.

But we know for a fact that plasticity does drop with age, that’s why it’s so difficult to learn foreign language after childhood.

Ctrl + Shift + V strips all formatting and just copies it in as plain text
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 2 days ago:
Yeah but this game was in early access for a decade. A decade. That’s giving me star citizen vibes, except in this case the game wasn’t popular.

He’s been a very very bad man. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Well yeah. And most Christians that are not American evangelicals know it’s mostly made up. Or at least they accept it’s not 100% an actual record of events.

Okay, telling everyone in your contacts list you bought a pair of meta AI glasses
- Comment on Charities warn Ofcom too soft on Online Safety Act violators: Another blow for the legislation as Parliament continues to hear stakeholder views 2 days ago:
The Molly Rose Foundation was established in 2017 by the family of 14 year-old Molly Russell, who took her own life. Her father discovered she had viewed thousands of images online that promote suicide and self-harm.
Oh for god’s sake so they’re going to lump actual harmful content in with mild pornography. Ugh, this is why the law won’t ever work. It makes no distinction between content types, it’s just everything that’s bad for kids to look at.
No one Will ever do more damage to the internet than a do-gooder with zero grasp of technology
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 days ago:
You think the global economy is going to collapse because Disney collapses? They make a lot of money as a corporation but that’s not important because they don’t pay any taxes.
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 days ago:
You’re on a hiding to know where with that one
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 days ago:
Anytime I want to cancel something and the company makes it difficult I just cancel the credit card side of it. Sod them. That’s what they get if they want to play silly buggers.
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 days ago:
Not been an American I don’t really know who he is but if he is as popular as seems to be the case I’m surprised that he didn’t move away from broadcast television anyway.
A lot of comedians are doing extremely well on YouTube.
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 days ago:
No it’s definitely crashing. Definitely nothing happening here, they’re not worried, or panicking, or anything. Everything Is Fine I Wouldn’t Say There’s A Problem At All. EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY FINE. IT’S FINE

This reminds me to cancel my Disney plus subscription. Anytime I ever actually have a subscription is when there’s new episodes of Andor. I’m genuinely baffled as to what other attractor Disney plus has.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
It’s really sloppy wordmanship but I think what it’s supposed to be saying is that the news has been met with both condemnation and praise from across the political spectrum aka condemnation from the left, and praise from the right. So technically the statement is true, but clumsily written.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 days ago:
My fridge is in a little room off the kitchen, so there’d be literally no point there being a screen on it anyway, has the only time I ever go in there is to get something out of the fridge.

Under the ring guidance in a three-dimensional environment yeah I don’t think so. I can always get out of my 2D car, I’m not sure about you.
- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 3 days ago:
But you can still put text in it right. So it does the same thing.
Why do we give a flying fluffy who is it about anything else.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 days ago:
As of right now you can still buy normal fridges and if they want to integrate screens into them I can always just refuse to connect them to the internet.
Outside of the US there are consumer laws that will prevent them from doing anything too bad. But yeah you lot of seriously screwed, you might want to reply to Swedish citizenship or something.

I mean it has all the features notepad had.
*You can type into it
- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 3 days ago:
No one even needs or wants these features. No one uses notepad for anything other than writing down quick notes while on the phone. Why would I need an AI to rewrite that. Actually if I did need an AI to rewrite that, I just copy it out of notepad and into one of the 100 bazillion AI apps that now are.
Microsoft are wasting developer time adding features that not only does no one currently want, but no one could possibly ever need.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 days ago:
Lol you cannot apply for a job with a simple tap of your phone. You can send them your CV but they’re not interested, they always want you to fill out some bespoke form which asks you all the same questions that you just answered on the CV. Then the whole thing gets fed into an AI black box and then who knows what happens.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 days ago:
Fortunately only the stupid people are affected by this. Everyone else can just laugh at them.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 days ago:
If you have gone out of your way and intentionally purchased a fridge with an internet connection and to screen frankly you deserve this. What did you expect? Screens have advertisements on them, why else would they put a screen on there.

Stop moving the goal post, your claim was no one was building nuclear power stations, clearly they are building nuclear power stations.
In this entire thread, no one has ever made the claim that they were easy or quick to build.
