  When we were young adults and couldn’t buy our own booze, we made it. Let’s do something like that here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to collect, it would be vinyl. If all DVD’s had no player, we’d be screwed. With vinyl however, you might be able to find someone clever enough to whip up some sort of mechanical/electrical solution to extract the sounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes I wonder if my older brother and I both were in grave danger, who would my parents save first... 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You should watch the movie “Sophie’s Favourite”. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The meaning of life?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of that David Bowie lyric…“We live for just these 20 years, do we have to die for 50 more?”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use AI but read a lot about it. I now want to google how it attacks the trolley problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epstein arrests: 0. Nancy Guthrie: still missing. The head of the FBI:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What a joke that guy is. He’s like a rich nerd who gets to party with the cool kids while displaying the over-the-top eagerness that marks their kind. We need a serious guy who takes things seriously not a frat boy mentality power guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're just scanning for the bear...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Aware people look about. Unaware people don’t. But yeah, let’s divide it by gender.

  Who knew that adverts were the secret power cabal running everything all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had any doubts that Know-Your-Customer laws were evil, here is one very good reason: personal data of 1 BILLION people just leaked.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If everyone is selling my personal information and I’m not getting my cut then I see a class action lawsuit in the not too distant future. Who’s with me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no, Intel is moving customer support to AI⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a difference? You couldn’t talk to a human in customer support for a while now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “AI businesses are putting profits over sanity and safety”.

  Remove “AI” from that sentence and you’ll see that’s just more normal business practices that have been going on for decades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All that means is that I’ll start caring about something else. It’s RAM, not food or shelter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-Woke means asleep. A pictorial example inside.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “Woke” means one thing to one group of people and the exact opposite to another group of people. Makes it hard to have intelligent discussions for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  C’mon powerful money pedo’s. Enough is enough. Let’s mea culpa this crap and wipe this ludicrous stain from our collective world history and move on to better days ahead. This dark shit should stop immediately. All it takes is one domino. Come clean. Even though you will feel shame and self loathing (if you have even a trace of a soul) you will almost certainly feel somewhat cleaner for confessing. Meet this shit head on and let’s get passed it. For once in your life do the right thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get. Out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Oops. We thought the workers would demand lower pay.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s expand that specifically generic headline. "“You probably can’t trust anything if it’s been compromised”. More extra non-news at eleven.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All U.S. Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks DOGE! Jesus, trump, how could you be so fucking stupid and uncaring? You have done nothing more than shove the monopoly board of america off of the table in a big tantrum because you were losing. Don’t forget, America made you, America can bring you down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s subservience because of fear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But the Canadien stock market is over 33,000!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only the last two shots of each end are the spectator portion. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But the Canadien stock market is over 33,000!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m Canadian and was quite displeased by the arrogance of those Canadians. Especially that one guy. You don’t start off a discussion by throwing “Fuck you’s” around. I expected more class and statesmanship in a situation like that. “But they were under a lot of pressure” is what you say when a child tantrums up, not an adult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The conditions of capitalism make desperate people, or those after easy money, ripe for plunder. Ahh capitalism, you glorious old whore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Kids will abandon most pre-existing shit to find something they can call their own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care. Not so fast, critics say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “The patient died but we were able to repair his avatar.” /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess is that when they noticed suburban teens paying $200 for blue jeans in the early 90’s. After that it was anything goes. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Delivery mechanisms and audio quality do not matter as long as it has a good beat that I can dance to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Spotify is a subscription radio station. I’m sure their development team is large and doing great secret, next-level things. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk's xAI loses second cofounder in 48 hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like he and his buddy don know nothing about running a business and fostering human relationships. A couple of small time Napoleons with large time capital can make quite a mess if given half a chance. And currently they are being given a whole chance.
