Boy Boy has a video where they sneak into a military weapons convention.

One guy was selling crowd control armor and advertised the dissociation from your actions that armor like that creates, divorcing you from guilt.

Pioneers used to ride those babies for miles.

If anything modern day santa is more of an invention of Coca-Cola than Christianity or Paganism.

This feels like when my brother backed up a file with Onedrive, then figured he could delete the original… the one that Onedrive was keeping track of.

It’s not that these aren’t confusing, but why risk your file without testing what the software will do first? Especially before hitting anything like “delete” or “discard”?

I ask it for help when I’m unfamiliar with a library/language or if I’m getting complex errors.

But I always type out the code myself, making sure I’m reading each line and understanding what’s happening.

Even for boilerplate if you just let the ai go at it, it’ll generate a Frankenstein boilerplate of an outdated standard.

Ring ding ding, winner!

The most immaculate well researched pickles ever seen.

But I’m getting bored, I should learn how to write, or maybe draw, or maybe dance.

No I got it, I’ll shift my focus to an obscure Github program I’m using to test a weird thought I had!

I’ll finish this burger later…

I have an SSD for my OS, but a large HDD for my games. It really starts to show as textures take a long time to load in.

I likely would but my computer’s from 2016 with no upgrades, so I’m on the cusp of building a new one from scratch.

After I do that though the old one’s becoming a linux server for sure.

Edit: Hmm, everyone telling me about their massive performance boosts is making me consider pulling the trigger and migrating my current computer.

I already planned on my next computer being Linux Mint, but it’s getting more and more desired as time goes on.

I was playing Elden Ring when it began stuttering, turns out Windows Defender was just constantly reading the disk (I still have a hard drive). Finally turned off maximum priority (seemingly random) scans in task scheduler when I began stuttering again. This time it was Windows Compatibility Telemetry taking up 50% of the disk, until I finally found a way to turn that off.

It’d be so nice to have an OS that doesn’t run random unnecessary things without your permission.

I choose to believe it’s their mutual hatred of England that makes their butter taste good.

My biggest gripe with Webp. If people just add support like Jpg, Png, Tiff, ect. then I could just use it like any other image without having to open with a browser.

I love the idea of Weird Al personally telling strangers to eat rocks and glue.

Don’t know if this has been fixed but Gemini was telling people it’s unethical to teach people C++ or memory management.

Because it’s considered “memory unsafe” but Gemini took it literally and considered it to unsafe to teach.

Unfortunately the spam arms race has destroyed any chance of search going back to the good ole days. SEO and AI content farms means we’ll need a whole new system to categorize webpages, as well as filter out human sounding but low effort spam.

Point being, it’s no longer enough to find a page that’s relevant to the topic, it has to be relevant and actually deliver information, which currently the only feasible tech that can differentiate those is LLMs.

I’ve seen those trucks with a bunch of cars packed on top, something like that (minus truck) could totally fit in a train cargo container.

In fact I think there’s a missed opportunity for EVs to partner with long distance public transit.

The main limitations of electric cars is distance, but if people knew they could go across the state or several states comfortably without their car, they might be more willing to take a electric car for city driving.

Alt Text: And what about all the people who won’t be able to join the community because they’re terrible at making helpful and constructive co-- … oh.

If you want barebones Windows I’d suggest you cough cough obtain Windows 10 LTSC.

It’s got most the bloatware cut out, you just have to reenable the old style picture viewer.

Though when I eventually make a new PC, I’m probably just gonna use Linux Mint because I hear running Windows games/software isn’t nearly as bad nowadays, thanks Steam.

So one Question I’m always asked. Who would win in a fight? Who would win in a fight if Galactus fought The Hulk, or if Thor fought Iron Man? And there’s one answer to all of that. It’s so simple, anyone should know this. The person who’d win in a fight is the person that the scriptwriter wants to win!
