“kill” and “fuck”

I have a use case too, but it comes down to wine and VM increasing hardware latency which I need as close to 0ms as possible. Even 20ms is too much. Fortunately these situations are minimal but it’s still annoying.

I watch the NHL some times and it amazes me how many insurance, car leasing, and drugs ads the US has. And the ads are so weird; they feel like they were made by aliens trying to blend in with humans, so nothing is normal and everyone in the ad is apparently micro-dosing psilocybin.

I think you just discovered why they’re unionising so hard.

Microsoft: Don’t worry, Blizzard. We can quash a union attempt. There’s only like 100 of them, tops…

Blizzard: There’s 650.

Microsoft: _spits drink _. For this shit!?

Mine will do the restart and boot into Linux.

Windows Updates are always like that. Halfway through it’s got to restart, bootloader picks Linux, Windows doesn’t get to finish the other half of its update til the next time it’s chosen.

Satisfaction.

Have you considered some kids weren’t interested in video games?

Have you considered some kids were blind?

Have you considered some kids are dead now?

Have you considered some kids weren’t allowed games?

Have you considered some kids didn’t know English or Japanese?

Have you considered some kids didn’t care for Pokemon to know anything about it?

Have you considered these things were banned in some countries?

Have you considered some kids had no hands?

Have you considered you make comments on the internet for no reason other than to devalue others?

Have you considered why you’d even do that?

Have you considered some kids weren’t in the intended market?

Have you considered some kids had different peer cultures?

Have you considered some kids had religious boundaries?

Have you considered a single word OP had said?

Takes less than 10 mins to set up if it sounds up your alley. Maybe 15-20 if you also want to install the app on a TV.

Fundamentally you’re just connecting to whatever source of content you want to stream, the Debrid curates it with no need for a VPN and Stremio delivers it.

They’re not soulless game farms churning out shit for the large non-gamer audience of video games. Indie is like an Oregan alehouse; AAA is like a Vegas game bar.

I killed off all my subscriptions for a $5 debrid and Stremio. High quality, more content, faster, no ads, cheaper.

Oh, that’s cool. That rnlght be worth a reinstall once I finish my current games… IF I can make it out of Nexus with under 15 mins browsing mods and not picking up any that CTD and take an hour to isolate and remove lol

The Fallout 4 intro and main story still irks me.

It wa really hard having fun ripping through the wasteland as the ugliest self-indulgent chaotic-evil idiot savant I could be, while knowing the backstory is from perfect picket fences and I could lecture Dominic Torreto on family.

“You need to find your son!”

“Uuuugh, do I have to? You can have him.”

I was so uninvested.

Genuinely forgot this game existed. I was over it before COVID lockdowns.

It’s about half a million active users. So, yeah, a tiny city’s worth.

Though things often start snowballing this way and Windows 10 end of life is likely see see a jump.

I dunno. I view my dogs as companions. Yeah, they need me to look after.them like they’re children, but I need them to take care of me in the wilderness, protect the house, cheer me up, entertain guests, tow me on the longboard.

There’s no association with them and a human child for me. If anything dog ownership has shifted my mentality into the symbiotic relationship of a pack. I think being stuck thinking of them as children would make for some very miserable times and bad behaviour from both the owner and the dog.

Especially when the worst that could happen is nothing which is exactly what’s going to happen if OP says no. Literally can’t go backwards no matter what, but it’s possible they could go forward.

Well…unless something psycho happens, I guess. Then OP will suffer greatly, go very backward, traumatised for life etc. etc. etc…

Nah, they’ll be fiiiine.

Well, ackshually…

Eh, I can’t be bothered looking it up, but knot theory in mathematics, we’re at like 56M combinations or some insane number possibly many millions above or below that.

It’s a weirdly interesting area of mathematics lol

I’ve done similar before and was still blown away by the bad data.

Somewhat unrelated, but still a hell of a story in the power of human input into data…

Working in the healthcare industry during COVID, federal law had 18,000 of our employees required to submit proof of vaccination to continue working in our hospitals and clinics. All they had to do was get their vaccination certificate PDF off the government website, type in their staff number, and upload the form, we then submit this information as the employer to confirm that these people do indeed work for us and are safe to continue doing so.

56% managed to do it. The rest were all sorts of shit. Most common were people that took photos of their computer screen, converted the photo to PDF, and uploaded that. Next most common was people print the PDF, scan it, then upload the scan PDF.

We had thought of everything to make a simple download then upload as easy as possible, including a 3 step video, and yet they went above and beyond in unimaginable ways. The people that genuinely didn’t know what to do hit the support link so they could be guided through it and did things perfectly in a couple mins—the self-confessed computer illiterate people were not a problem at all.

Thanks to training a form detection bot, I got it down to under 2000 remaining in a day, and the looming threat of “You have to do this or we can’t legally give you work and pay you until you do” quickly sorted out the rest.

People will ALWAYS fuck things up in ways you’ve never thought of before. Reading the short, clear, and user friendly instructions for the simple job doesn’t work and they’ll get angry that something went wrong, every fucking time.

Toaster is good. We’ve used that for years and it’s memed hard. Its origin is toward AI and physical robots. Even though it’s a slur based on the first model Cylon having a toaster face, it implies robots are simple and they generate ridiculous amounts of heat to do a simple task.

We don’t need to reinvent the wheel here just because someone had a viral video on TikTok. Clanker sounds so dumb too. Especially for protocol bots that have no moving parts beyond data centre fans and pumps.

That’s true…

Dick Tracy then!

Technically Tintin…? 🤣
