LibreOffice. No need for MS Office, ever
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 1 week 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] 2 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 2 weeks ago:
Yup. Off to Linux I go.
- Comment on RepRap Pioneer Returns With a DIY 3D Printer That Hits Micro-Level Precision 3 weeks ago:
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. 3 weeks 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"? 5 weeks 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 5 weeks ago:
Ah, yes. The country that formerly let you have anonymous secret bank accounts.

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

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
- Comment on Can you see magic eye pictures? 1 month 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 1 month 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. 1 month ago:
What point in space is the reference, where other things are placed relative to?

In a different position relative to what?

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? 1 month 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.

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 2 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 2 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.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
It occurs to me that the electoral system might be used in Pres elections to work (very slightly) in that direction. What if a number of associated candidates made a pact that their electors, if elected, would vote for whichever of the pact makers got the most popular votes overall? Like if Sanders and Biden and Harris were in a pact like that of Democrats (named chosen of unlikely future candidates). People could vote for whichever, avoiding split-the-vote tactics. If Sanders won a state, but Harris got more pop votes nationwide, his electors would instead vote for her. Complicated maybe, but it wouldn’t need any constitutional changes, and might make disasters like a Trump win less likely. Dumb idea?
