- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 1 day ago:
I think the biggest complaint was trying to shove cortana and the 11 upgrade in everyone’s faces constantly. Once you use whatever fix you choose to remove or silence them, Win10 is fine - as long as you avoid installing other M$ services, but those aren’t 10’s fault. And disabling the few annoyances 10 has are paltry compared to what M$ is trying to force users into accepting in 11.

That group of men who were probably gay yet had turbulent relations with women.
Roy Cohn had several girlfriends and apparently thought about proposing to Barbara Walters. Everything points to him being gay. He was a bullying, brilliant sociopath. Helped out significantly with McCarthyism.
Trump. Just seems to use women, talks trashy about them, but can’t seem to have a decent relationship with a single one. Narcissistic sociopath, definitely not brilliant. Anti-socialist at least.
Possibly John Wayne. Beat the crap out of women, with several relationships and wives. Loved hanging out with men (John Ford and his buddies) Rabid anti-communist, also supporting McCarthy’s Red Scare.
Wonder how many other men were internally and externally destructive thanks to being forced into society’s mold in conflict with who they really were.

- Comment on Do you think there would eventually be technology to delete/replace memories (like the *Men In Black* device). How much do you fear such technology? (like misuse by governments/criminals) 2 days ago:
Those are the exception. It still is essentially uncontrollable. I don’t know what mental or physical state the survivors are in.

They can‘t make sure it doesn’t kill you or control it. Rabies is essentially fatal. However it would certainly take your memories in death.
- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 2 days ago:
Depends on the task and time. Having to get up super early to get somewhere? No problem. Slept in? My brain might take a while to spin up.

Healthshit. Gotta be a better term, an updated version of snake oil.

Every other version of windows flops or sucks. 98 SE, good. 2k/ME, No. XP, great. Vista,no. 7, great. 8, No.
10…probably the last good Windows unless M$oft unfucks itself and makes 12 good. But I doubt it.

- Comment on If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences 1 week ago:
NASA is funny. They are always searching for signs of life, past or present, on planets in our system when they can send a lander of some sort. But, if there is a spot where there actually might be a chance of life existing, they avoid it because of the minuscule chance of some bacteria on any rover contaminating the area.
We’ll look for signs of life where it’s hard to find and avoid the areas where there might be a better chance of it.
- Comment on Psychedelic Truth 1 week ago:
Gotta be desperate for a high to take datura. That is a poisonous plant with unpredictable results. It grew regularly where we lived, and we had a physician family member who basically said if you’re going to get high even some of the harder drugs were a better choice than datura. He’d seen too many people who didn’t survive or came out with permanent damage. It was a poorer rural area where they worked, and combined with boredom people tried other shit to get high. Datura’s got a bad track record.

Wouldn’t this be ironic if he were a government hating redhat who hates being treated like a criminal but is perfectly fine with everyone else going through security being treated like that.

On his way home from a second or third job at food service that refused to close despite the storm and had no customers.
- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 1 week ago:
Run all the samples through a computer, write a prompt telling it to create music in the style of (x), and keep tweaking the prompt to reiterate the result until something desirable emerges. No skill or understanding of music required, just keep hitting “generate” or whatever until something gets spit out that sounds good.
Vs
Thousands of hours of music making experience, understanding of musical styles, lyric arrangement, composition, heck…even music theory and the ability to read and write musical notes…and take all of that and make something original that, with permission of the original artist, uses modified clips of others’ tracks.
Sampling isn’t the defining difference.

- Comment on Game marketing company takes down blog post bragging about how good it is at astroturfing Reddit after Reddit finds the post 1 week ago:
That sucks.
I left myself after being shouted down over criticizing a game for restricting player kits. The game was more fun without the restrictions, but fuck me for wanting more freedom in player classes.

r/gaming is shit. Bunch of sycophants all soft criticizing games like a review magazine afraid of offending the makers while talking about their playthrough. Go figure. Heaven help you if you have an actual opinion outside of the box, or don’t know some bit of terminology or lore about a game that is “common knowledge”.
- Comment on Become unrecognizable 1 week ago:
This “high ph” garbage is such crap. A few years back people were chugging apple cider vinegar to acidify your blood or whatever BS that was.
Our bodies regulate themselves when it comes to ph, drinking water of a certain ph won’t change that. Just like drinking juices or sodas that have citric acid don’t mess it up. Alkaline water benefits are a myth.
But if it helps you drink more water instead of junk drinks, go for it.

There wasn’t as big of a price drop as I thought there would be when the crypto mining switched to ASIC from GPUs. Don’t know of all that hardware just got dumped or is sitting in a rack rotting somewhere. Hope that we get cheaper prices when the bubble pops, this artificial scarcity sucks.
