Haven’t done that yet. However, remembering that I had a specific thing I need to another thing with, I just don’t know where I put it even though I have a pretty good idea where it might be. Proceed to start digging through things to find it, and while doing so, find various other items (oh, that’s where this is, I’ll have to remember this!) and then find the thing I was looking for and it’s not what I needed. Dammit.

And I’ll remember that I found the other things; I only retain the knowledge I found stuff, but I can’t remember what it was I found!

I think the biggest complaint was trying to shove cortana and the 11 upgrade in everyone’s faces constantly. Once you use whatever fix you choose to remove or silence them, Win10 is fine - as long as you avoid installing other M$ services, but those aren’t 10’s fault. And disabling the few annoyances 10 has are paltry compared to what M$ is trying to force users into accepting in 11.

“I’m gonna take you all down with me!”

Then I’ll ask for a sweet socialist bailout while the rest of you enjoy rugged capitalism.

Those are the exception. It still is essentially uncontrollable. This is pretty much killing the patient to cure the problem. I don’t know what mental or physical state the survivors are in.

They can‘t make sure it doesn’t kill you or control it. Rabies is essentially fatal. However it would certainly take your memories in death.

Depends on the task and time. Having to get up super early to get somewhere? No problem. Slept in? My brain might take a while to spin up.

Some have no holes. Seems pretty inconvenient to use as a loom that way. Some were too small for knitting.

Every other version of windows flops or sucks. 98 SE, good. 2k/ME, No. XP, great. Vista,no. 7, great. 8, No.

10…probably the last good Windows unless M$oft unfucks itself and makes 12 good. But I doubt it.

Does the store not have an “in-app fees” subtext on the app page?

I would imagine a non-insignificant amount. The Right Wing’s propaganda has so thoroughly associated any social policy by the democrats as socialism that the people coming from dictatorships that promised power for the people with socialist policy yet wrecked the country with kleptocratic authoritarianism flee into the arms of the Right Wing who promised them freedom. For some reason the people refuse to see them for what they are – actual dictators and kleptocrats.

Fuck this.

Castro didn’t care about private property? I very much disagree, and think that argument is more than a little suspect. If someone tried to take his property he’d likely have reacted poorly.

NASA is funny. They are always searching for signs of life, past or present, on planets in our system when they can send a lander of some sort. But, if there is a spot where there actually might be a chance of life existing, they avoid it because of the minuscule chance of some bacteria on any rover contaminating the area.

We’ll look for signs of life where it’s hard to find and avoid the areas where there might be a better chance of it.

Run all the samples through a computer, write a prompt telling it to create music in the style of (x), and keep tweaking the prompt to reiterate the result until something desirable emerges. No skill or understanding of music required, just keep hitting “generate” or whatever until something gets spit out that sounds good.

Vs

Thousands of hours of music making experience, understanding of musical styles, lyric arrangement, composition, heck…even music theory and the ability to read and write musical notes…and take all of that and make something original that, with permission of the original artist, uses modified clips of others’ tracks.

Sampling isn’t the defining difference.

Pown’d.

That sucks.

I left myself after being shouted down over criticizing a game for restricting player kits. The game was more fun without the restrictions, but fuck me for wanting more freedom in player classes.

r/gaming is shit. Bunch of sycophants all soft criticizing games like a review magazine afraid of offending the makers while talking about their playthrough. Go figure. Heaven help you if you have an actual opinion outside of the box, or don’t know some bit of terminology or lore about a game that is “common knowledge”.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

Yeah. I know. Wishful thinking.

There wasn’t as big of a price drop as I thought there would be when the crypto mining switched to ASIC from GPUs. Don’t know if all that hardware just got dumped or is sitting in a rack rotting somewhere. Hope that we get cheaper prices when the bubble pops, this artificial scarcity sucks.
