Interesting, I can definitely see it if it wasn’t for the label/handle line.
TIL that UI icons double as Rorschach tests

I wonder if the cute Buldak mascot is meant to be a bait and switch, or their way of saying, “sorry about your butthole, here’s a cute li’l guy.”

Indeed, the shitting is entertainment (assuming you’re not the subject)

- Comment on Raspberry Pi Gets Desktop Form Factor 2 weeks ago:
- This isn’t actually a Pi, it’s an accessory for a Pi 5
- Potentially this enables non-electrically-savvy folks to use external GPUs with the Pi following some build guide
Whether or not it’s worth it remains to be seen, but that’s the main use-case I can see that this board adds that appeals to more than just tinkerers.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi Gets Desktop Form Factor 2 weeks ago:
Awful title from Hackaday, makes it sound like the Raspberry Pi itself is growing in size. It’s actually just an oversized accessory the you can attach a Pi 5 to. The article body itself doesn’t do a whole lot to make that clear, either, until you click through the links and see better pictures of the product.

Some might say Autism, others will claim ADHD.
For me, though, they just slide in easier…

Awesome, ‘preciate you. Lately the comments sections in shitposts have been fairly informative and helpful, and I’m glad I’m here for it!

Then I’m gonna invent “unleavened cucumber” and use Lavash instead

I think at this point, any low-effort food meme goes. After all, what we eat always turns to shit…

You have to really look into this one. Now that I’ve slept and looked at it more, there are a lot of other things I can see that solidify this as gen AI. It took me a bit to get there, though, and I only had a vague thought that it even was at first.
Now couple this with Flock’s rushed out nightmare and the idea of arresting people for pre-crimes Minority Report-style and the dystopian future is now the present.
But yeah, I think we’re getting past the point where I can tell.
I think people like you and I will still have that sense going off, but it’s going to be harder to put into words why we feel that way, and will start to leak into our ideas on real photos. Regular folks already voted how they voted (and I’m not just talking about the USA), they will not ever take the time to analyze a photo like this, just like they never take the time to corroborate what the talking heads say with real data.

They won’t, ever. Not the general public, at least. Most are still perfectly content and onboard with paying for 10 different streaming services for music/movies/TV. Only immediate numbers mean anything, and $5/mo is better than $10 once, simply because 10 is larger than 5. Plus, look at all this extra shit I didn’t want that is included!
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 3 weeks ago:
I see it wholly as a loss, because it starts to get people used to the idea of subscriptions for anything and everything, and Microsoft will be right there on the front lines taking advantage of the new revenue stream (so losing local installs won’t hurt them at all and is what they’re going for).
- Comment on Looks legit. What do you all think? 3 weeks ago:
My slop-sense was going off like crazy too, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. There’s something really confusing to my brain about the wheels/tires on the van, the backends of the cars on the right, and the light sources,
For that matter, the text also feels weird, but I chocked that up to photoshop since AI usually can’t do text that well.

Thanks, dodged a bullet on that one

Just then, a loud booming sound comes from the top of the Throat of the World: “TOOT TOOT.” The hero gazes in horror as Thomas the Tank Engine comes barreling ’round the mountain pass.

Seems to me like there will be a split. A lot of critical thinkers that are frugal will move to Linux and up its market-share, but there will also be a lot of deals that companies make with cloud computing platforms as well for their employees instead of purchasing new laptops (which will probably also allow them to cut back on their IT staff).
Those that are still lost when it comes to tech from 20 years ago will also buy into cloud compute platforms just because they use it at work and can’t be arsed to learn something slightly different.
