Let’s not blame AI for everything: Reddit had a lot of problems before AI became big. Repost bots are so common that you’ll see the same posts over and over again. Some of those twitter screenshots must have been posted hundreds or thousands of times. OnlyFans spam also works without AI. And we have had those bots spamming the same stupid comments before people were even thinking about GPTs.

You are totally correct - it’s important to use precice language

This seems like a classic windows update issue. In fairness to Microsoft it is difficult to prevent bugs when there is a huge install base, with a huge range of hardware, with a huge range of users on different mixes of updates and updating at their own. I personally think that’s totally believable.

I’m a little bit sceptical here - yes, managing that is complicated. But it also is Microsofts fault - managing and constructing updates that work even with different versions or update paths is possible. I really struggle to see how an update could even kill the start menu or Explorer.

I wonder if anyone has experimented with storing those consoles in an oxygen free environment. Sounds crazy, but there are cheap vacuum sealers around and you can easily push some CO2 from a sodastream into those bags. That works with groceries like salats and it might be possible to put a Dreamcast into a vacuum bag, fill it with CO2 and seal it.

Drip A tracking free, cloud free and subscription free period tracker. There are a lot of period tracking apps around, but most of them try to push a subscription on their users and putting that data into a cloud can be dangerous in many countries where abortions are forbidden. You know that some judge in Texas wants to have access to that data. Save yourself or the women in your life from subscribtion and tracking hell and switch them over.

It’s totally a problem: If I take a look at my Mastodon account from Pixelfed, there are a lot of screenshots shown and some other random images. Which totally does make sense as I do post stuff like that on Mastodon and screenshots totally make sense there. But if you take them to the center of the stage into a photocentric app, that really does look like shit

I kind of like the idea of a system allowing me to automatically remove clickbait and sensationalism from headlines and replace it with a good summary. But I really hate how Google is pushing that without customization, without consent and in such a crappy state.

That behaviour really, really is shady - contacting random people from not involved departments via LinkedIn is really awful.

I haven’t used an Amiga in several decades and memory is kind of murky. So how does the Amiga approaches drives?

Yeah - there is no way that you are able to raise children or even go to the dentist checkup with such a work schedule. And if such a schedule was implemented, that would be the collapse of everything else. Cinemas, theatres, bars, events, sport clubs and so on.

There are people who need money to pay their rent or buy food. He isn’t saying that he is not trying to leave, but there are good reasons to stick to a bad job while searching for a better one.

Thank you, government. That is really an improvement of my life!
