• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No you’re not.

  Cheating doesn’t automatically make a person bad, it makes a person a human being. Mist people cheat, and I’d say that most “cheating sessions” happen without the spouse knowing. It happens and usually there are underlying reasons ranging from “he just really really likes sex” to “they never have sex together” to a host of other reasons. I don’t think that the reason “he’s an asshole” is the real reason, ever.

  Having said that; even if your dad cheated just and only just because he wanted to be an asshole to your mom, that still doesn’t mean that anything should have to change between you and your dad.

  Your dad is your dad. Anyone trying to forcibly change that is raising a host of red flags.

  I understand your mother feels hurt right now but if she isn’t able to see beyond that hurt what your best interests are then maybe she is actually the problem, not your father.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  NAD.

  Having said that, if your “primary” heart is having issues it’s usually something that a second heart wouldn’t be able to bypass.

  For example, if the heart chambers are just fluttering then your second heart could try to take over, but I imagine that if the primary failing one would cause so much ruckus that the secondary wouldn’t be able to keep up normal blood flow.

  I imagine a better system with some electronics that can either work as a pacemaker or take over completely in an emergency situation by just plain stopping the heart and taking over until help arrives, or something like that.

  Again, NAD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing that people are defending transgenders in general and this shitbait NY post article frames it in. Away that isn’t too far off from insinuating that all trans are “pure evil”.

  Hell, “trans” shouldn’t have been in the headline as it is of no consequence to what happened. Whatever the reason for the incident, she didn’t stab the guy because she’s trans. One human stabbed another, that one was trans or black or green for all I care doesn’t matter and it is very hard not to feel that this bit was added just to sow division amongst people

  Pretty sure this guy built a 5 user machine with 5 monitors, keyboards, audio, all on a single 2gig Celeron machine. Built the software for all of it in 3 months. That is not 1 user on a desktop but 5 at the same time. 1 user was even back then better, bect I remember all the Regex.exe posts that is sooooo much easier than typing a command somewhere

  That was 17 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨noyb sends Meta 'cease and desist' letter over AI training. European Class Action as potential next step⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Meta may face massive legal risks – just because it relies on an “opt-out” instead of an “opt-in” system for AI training.

  Meta also knows that if they make it opt-in that everyone will just give them the finger

  What will happen, eventually, is that meta will relent and say they won’t use EU data, then they’ll just go ahead and use it anyway. If you really believe that meta won’t end up using EU consumer data, then I have a bridge to sell you.

  Fuck large companies

  Switch to Linux, today. It’s always been the better option, but for the last decade it’s been the easier option as well. Installing Linux is a walk in the park whereas windows is a Hilarious clown show from hell with no end.

  That reminds me that now in the office we’re dealing with windows machines where the network card just stops working, drivers are suddenly gone. Don’t ask, it’s windows, it’s Microsoft abd this is just considered normal. If a Linux machine has a bug it’s “oh my god Linux sucks sooo hard, it’s impossible to get it to work!” but this Microsoft bullshit just gets handwaved away with “well computers are complicated, let’s just reinstall this”

  Yes, there is still a limited set of specialty hardware that may not have drivers available for Linux, but the vast majority of people can easily run Linux and have a much MUCH better experience than windows, and that is ignoring the spyware, the adware, the ads, the plain security nightmare of having a windows machine…

  Switch to Linux, it’s easy, it’s beautiful, it’s fun. Come to Linux, come to the dark side, we have cookies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is Using AI to Censor Independent Websites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh Hells no, no blockchain. Like AI, its worthless, beyond extremely inefficient, and people have been desperately trying to cram it into everything where it doesn’t belong.

  Search doesn’t need a block chain.

  I’m imagining more a federated system, like Lemmy. Currently it aggregates posts from different servers, I can see these servers actively spiderii the Internet and together making a whole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is Using AI to Censor Independent Websites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As one Google executive recently explained: “Organizing information is clearly a trillion-dollar opportunity, but a trillion dollars is not cool anymore. What’s cool is a quadrillion dollars.”

  Any exec saying remarks like this should be old yellered.

  I’m saying this being fully aware of what I just said, and I say it because of what it implies.

  It requires massive poverty, massive control, massive casualties, people dying from whatever comes with that level of poverty, just so that a few assholes can brag about a quadrillion dollars.

  Fuck

  That

  Shit

  We need to start hard capping maximum sizes in companies. No company can employ more than 1000 people. No company can have a net worth of over one billion dollar. When a company goes over the met worth, handle it with taxes. When it reaches the employee max, that’s it, can’t hire no more.

  We also need to hard cap personal wealth. Both income and net worth must be taxed in brackets. Nobody should be allowed to own more than 10 million (or whatever is a sane max maybe less, maybe a little bit more)

  The lowest of the low pay no taxes, they have no money to do so. Then the next starts with 5, 10, etc. middle class should pay around 30 like in most countries. After that it goes up and up until you reach 100% for income, and whatever % is required to put the person’s net worth back into that 10 million limit.

  With this we don’t have a single quadrillion dollar company with a king that will soon enough fail, we’ll have thousands of multi million companies, thousands of owners of which some might fail, others won’t. Tax income will be so much that we can quite easily fund a giant social support system, free healthcare (physical and mental, eyes and teeth), free education, universal income to ensure everyone can live nicely

  NOBODY has the right to be a billionaire, it is not a right, it is not a privilege, it should be forbidden and the very fact that it’s not is a cancer on humanity.

  This “quadrillion” asshole is a clear and present danger to humanity, it’s the seed of a cancer that will destroy us all.

  Well yes, but…

  Loads and loads of parents simply aren’t fit to fit the description. There are loads of idiots out there that just don’t care that their five year old watches porn. Then there is the class of idiots that think their little angel would never do such horrendous things, they’re with God, didn’t you know?

  As an aside, I’m really curious as to what the deleterious effects are on kids, say, 12+ that watch porn. I was a kid like that over 3 decades ago and though porn wasn’t as readily available as it was today, I remember watching the encrypted porn channel for the eventual boob flash, or the mosaic channel that would show 20x20 px porn. Actual porn from BBS-es (pre internet dial in systems) came into my life at about… 15-ish, I’d say, and it didn’t affect me negatively whatsoever.

  I’d definitely would like to see the difference between the effects on kids watching porn vs kids watching ultra violent movies or even real violence online. I’d wager the latter being more harmful than porn (be it porn combined with well designed sex education in schools, so good with that US kids!)

  Ok

  Pretty solid

  Bahaha hahahahaha

  Sorry.

  Outlook is a lot of things. “Gooey crap” would be one way to describe it, but “solid”? Yeah, no. Gmail is (well, was) pretty solid. There are a lot of other webmail providers out there, including self hosted options and most are pretty solid, yeah. Outlook, though? It’s a shit show, it’s annoying.

  Do you love me? Please love me, please give feedback, please give feedback again, please look at this, hey am I the best? Am I…

  STFU YOU PIECE OF CRAP! Can you PLEASE just let me do my email without being an attention whore every hour?

  Even down to the basics. Back button? “What is that? Never heard of it, can’t go back to the message I just was on because I’m Microsoft software and so half baked.”

  Having two tabs open? “Oh noes, now I get scawed, now I don’t know how to manage sessions anymore, better just sign you out everywhere.” What is it with Microsoft and not being able to do something basic as sessions normal? I’m not even asking for good, definitely not “awesome”, just normal, and that is already too much to ask.

  Try running it in Firefox! I’m sure it’s totally not on purpose, just “oopsie woopsie poopsie” accidentally bwoken. Maybe it’s working again today, who knows, tomorrow it’ll be broken again. I run everything on Firefox except the Microsoft sites, they have to be in chrome because fuck you, that’s why.

  Seriously, I can’t take any Microsoft software seriously at this point, and all of it is on its way out in our company, I’m making sure of that
