  Seems like this would be a good time for the FBI to release actual photos of these engravings, since they already told the world what they allegedly say. Seems very fishy that no one but them got to see the engravings so far.

  LibreOffice. No need for MS Office, ever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure they were expecting returns. Just afraid that if other companies had AI, they might lose business to them. Except of course a lot of people (or at least I) avoid anything with AI and mistrust its results.

  Elon promised there will be a firmware update to make me fly!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oversharing not appreciated, but opinions on Trump probed. Gonna be some conflict there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Off to Linux I go.

  A negative (for me at least) is the use of UV curable resin. I’ve got a mSLA printer I don’t use anymore because that material is very nasty stuff. Fumes needing ventilation, spills from hell, disposal difficulty, and rubber gloves being required else the uncured resin will literally tear the skin off your fingers over time with even slight unnoticed contact. More than I want to deal with unless absolutely necessary, taking it out of the range of fun hobby stuff.

  Taxidermy for her dead soul.

  Is there anyone reading Lemmy that wasn’t already aware of this one? I mean, it’s not bad to bring it up again (and again, and again, etc), but it’s hardly news.

  But if you haven’t already, be sure to see the second 2025 episode of South Park!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is probably a advance civilization out there were much more advance in the battery technology compared to them. They just happen to found first a way to run electronics much more efficient.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe they found a way to somehow survive without so many electric snd electronic gizmos?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where are all the successful "red cities"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wish there was a requirement that all districts be rectangular or triangular. That would make gerrymandering more difficult to arrange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, yes. The country that formerly let you have anonymous secret bank accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What would happen if the US denaturalized and deported all whites?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see magic eye pictures?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I’ll check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see magic eye pictures?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m one of the stereo blind. I was kind of glad when I found out from the eye doctor. It explained why I could rarely catch a baseball without getting hit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Do you have documents to prove you are a US citizen? If not, here's how⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is also why “self deport” is such a scam. Even were it moral to tell anyone to do that, how are they supposed to board a plane to go to another country without passport or visa?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What point in space is the reference, where other things are placed relative to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a different position relative to what?

  Well, you’re forgetting about clean coal. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving a higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having ones lips firmly mounted onto a certain large ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Copilot. Win11 working only on mew hardware. Win10 going out of support. Basic bloated operation with little concern for what users want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We used to have porch lights twinkling in red, white, and blue all July. This year, we’re just flashing blue adamently. And that only because our lights can’t radiate black.

  I’d do that, but changing to Ubuntu, but thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survey: More Than 1 In 4 Americans Feel They Need To Make $150,000 Or More To Live Comfortably⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Particularly since that has to also include investing for later retirement in an entirely uncertain economic future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be rough on your head (emotions, ego, attitude). I went to Match at 67, felt a little like back at Jr. High. Announced I’d give up twice, but arter a bit looked back again. My last “what the hell, one more” connection was with my now partner and I’m glad I stayed with it. I don’t know how much was luck. We’ve been together 4 years, sold our houses, bought one together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, the “building” of a phone is the part where Mercans put in those tiny screws, as suggested by Administration staff. The low-tech stuff, like fabricating doublesided circuit boards and the microcircuit and mucrowave filter parts mounted on them, all that easy cheap stuff can be done by other people to support the screwers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads Per Hour⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad I cancelled Prime some time ago. Haven’t missed it and I usually get free shipping anyway by buying elsewhere. I’ll even pay more to avoid Amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They flat out DON’T work at all in detecting lies. Well documented as total fraud. Polygraph just means ‘many graphs’, which is all they produce: many graphs of sensors output not having anything to do with honest or dishonest responses.
