  Sigh… Your supposed to let it run for a second when you switch drinks. Noone wants to drink homeopathic Fanta, or I-Cant-Believe-Its-Not Coke with lime.

  The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
  To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
  To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yah… You dont own your OS on W11, you had better script those changes or they might be reverted on major updates. (They do that for the default browser all the time, and they will likely break that script every year or two)

  This is why the [gestures broadly to Lemmy community] evangalizes for Linux so much, everyone is going have to learn a new OS anyway. Aside from what ever Apple is doing, there really are only two choices, a free and open source suite of software that is trusted because everything is public and auditable, or an OS that activly contributes to the creation of the Torment Nexus. We do get that some applications wont work on linux, but my response to that is to look for a new version anyway, your living on borrowed time. Windows 11 is rolling full speed ahead on breaking compatibility with everything Microsoft did not make (and therefore cant update to collect data on you).

  Do not break the weekend safety brief.

  • Do NOT add to the population.
  • Do NOT subtract from the population
  • Do NOT end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail.
  • • IF you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.

  Is this a Mr. Poopybutthole reference?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, there was a social contract where we would exchange watching ads for consuming the following product without additional charges. Those days are mostly gone and you have to pay to get in the door, watch and ad and the product has enshitifies to the point of usually not being worth it. Ad block and cable cutting has been a method to claw that back to a fairer exchangr, or atleast give the consumer some negotiation power in that dynamic. However its just created a game of cat and mosue between those who wish to consume your attention and people who dont want sponsored shit beamed into their brain space.

  I raise thee…

  Wowhead

  I had a friend involved in the hunt for this… Was a sight to behold and the look of disbelief when the devs called them on their obsession.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is this different from the Lemmy devs, who are known to be pretty political? I was under the impression we were mostly fine seperating the program from the programmer, or is this situation different?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a humble bard Graced a ride along⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yah… Another casualty of the Netflix.

  You know you messed up when the biggest fanboy of the IP (who is built like a greek statue) wants to play the main character, and then walks away because they feel that the producers are no longer adapting the thing they were a fan of and are off writing their own fanfic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harsh⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understood that reference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont mind that, so long as the food is cheap.

  My personal limit for that is ~20$, anything less than that and within reason, I wont question buying anyone food. Calories are important and im not going to judge people that quickly, have a pizza.

  I prefer to have that meal repaid in the future with an IOU or another meal rather dealing with money, also the social connections are more important.

  On the flip side, if I never see that person again. 20$ well spent.

  Most people live in the northern hemisphere, winter in January is cold and miserable for a lot of the planet. What do you think people are supposed to do inside? Play checkers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconding steam deck, but also need to add in the docking station. That formfactor has stolen my heart, it does mobile gaming, along with having the horse power to be a PC substitute at home.

  In addition to SteamOS, but ill let others promote linux and sticking it to microsoft now that linux desktops are finally crossing the “it just works” finish line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You dont write the number of feet in a mile as 14A0 (base-16 for this example).

  Your complaining about ratios used for unit conversion, not base numeral systems… Fuck, this feels like a slashdot comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The feet to mile conversion is still in base-10… Its the ratios between the units that are seemingly arbitrary. Come on…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The entire Social Security database was uploaded on a random cloud server, Whistle-Blower Says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont have a problem with that, but what I will object to is the current regime making the replament ID system. 1) there is no way they would design it well or securely, smart people capable of building such a system are usually the first to bounce to another country as they will have the means to do so. 2) it would be too easy for them to lord the new ID over peoples heads (like they are with immigration status now) and impliment a social credit score like China does.

  Your correct that SSNs should not be used as IDs, but getting the government to build a modern system for that opens too many avanues for abuse (especially with darth cheeto in charge).

  Tell that to silicon valley, its a marketing bit now. Being “Too cool for school” is part of the tech startup playbook.

  Destiny 2 was the old game I played 2 years ago when I switched to linux full time that does not play nice with Proton. And given how its driven itself off a cliff. I will miss the old space opera, but nothing of value was lost.

  I prefer the French Toast or Waffle House Indexes for unofficial silly weather measurement.

  For the bottom machine, run the faucet for a few seconds before you put your cup under it. Last thing anyone wants is half-watered down cherry coke or homeopathic fanta.
