I feel like that text message was algorithmically designed to cause a stroke

Get rammed by your own RAM, Sam!

That’s the thought

I think that once you hit $1B, a red laser dot appears on your forehead.

The phone rings: “Decide your fate, or it will be decided for you.”

on my phone? No. Plus it was part of the joke to try to get his AI to do it for me. I am glad TheGuyTM3 helped out though… Infinitely better meme product. Art, even.

I tried to get ChatGPT to put him here, but it wanted me to sign up for an account to do that… which is still gonna be a no from me.

Use your imagination… carefully.

RadioShack Tandy 1000-TX was our first desktop… Technically, I think we had a VIC20 for a couple weeks that was hooked up to our TV but it got returned and damn am I glad we got that IBM-compatible, CGA graphics, loud-ass behemoth.

I can still hear the sound of the floppy drives intializing on bootup. A: was 3.5" and B: was 5.25" and the way they sounded made my 6-year old self so happy. I used to make the noises myself as it came online.

Years later, when I write this post, I will think… why did I ever doubt my autism diagnosis?

Can’t hide from me, taffer!

There are dozens of us

Didnt see the meme at first :p

Happy Linux gaming is doing well. Fedora user here.

leave your little echo chamber… (proceeds to block opinion that disagrees with their own)

LOL!

yeah, you gottem

Sure, I’m not making a judgment against people who are using it to fulfill an unsupported need in their life (although that is very dangerous to do).

But even so, those things are being offered as a facsimile and so I can’t really even accept them as a cost in pragmatic consideration against what ‘AI’ is fundamentally being used for.

What I am saying is, the common person in the world happily rejects the concept of things that threaten their sovreignty of self because they are fascinated by something that seems to make any aspect of their life more convenient; they prefer to rationalize their current course over making any effort. Surrendering to be enslaved rather than be troubled to think.

Yes.

Was/is one of the most obvious use case for the tech: Propaganda and surveillance.

Thankfully, I clocked this immediately on release and have never had an account with them or any of the others. Same with facebook and the other big socials. Nope, I’m not handing the ghouls behind these technologies the keys to manipulating me and my mind.

Everyone IRL acts like I’m being hyperbolic whenever I’ve warned them about these things, but here we are again as always and now people will just pretend there is nothing they can do. There is: Stop. It’s the next best thing to not starting.

Yeah, it’s a pretty good game. I’m somewhere in the middle of it. The first one leaned more into the SCP-lore and storytelling style, which I miss. Combat is fun this time around, even with the change in how it fundamentaslly works… but maybe a bit repetitive.

I deleted discord when they introduced this plan the first time. Not like it was going to go away, magically, no, it was always going to happen.

Don’t need it

Sony fully-embracing its enshittification arc.

I have a lot of Sony gear; I’ve been really happy with the quality… but I’ll look elsewhere as they have been self-destructing as a company for a while now. I know their TVs are going to be crappier than they have been, because they stopped making them themselves. Probably the audio gear will be next.

1. AI integration into business processes.
2. Steal business processes and trade secrets.
3. Destroy decision-making capability.
4. Destroy production capability and capacity to deliver value and banish institutional knowledge (through layoffs)
5. Replace incumbent market-leaders with like-for-like services, while destroying their ability to compete and also charging them for the privilege.

6. AI company hijacks your processes, trade secrets, and market to offer the same thing for cheaper than you can. Raises rates for competitors to cover its own token use and simultaneously drive the others out of business.

Failing in Ukraine… so Russia will now also provoke a heavily armed NATO country, and neighbour to Ukraine: Poland.

No. Serious doubt this is real.

Translation. Better performance on Linux.

I will load up Cyberpunk 2077 and judge for myself.

TLDR:

On Linux, older AMD GPUs will benefit from stability enhancements

What a difficult article to parse; must be man made.

When it launched, I had it Day 1 on PS4.

It was fuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccked. Crashing, performance was shit, bugs galore, janky textures. There were a lot of people who ended up with a dogshit product from a playability perspective.

I played through it and beat it while it was still in rough shape, because I loved it so much anyway. Obviously, it improved later and it ran well when I upgraded to PS5 (and better when there was a PS5 version released). This game is currently on my PC, because I bought it again just to keep playing it there. It runs great on Linux.

CDPR used to just be a name you trusted because they built a reputation. They hurt their rep with the launch for CP2077, especially after their marketing “Out when it’s ready.” But they have also done the woork to rebuild it, we’ll see with Witcher 4. Big promises to fulfill for that one.
