Behind a value stock is a profitable company. Behind crypto-tokens is a hilariously inefficient database with no application in real life.

Gamble away your money, I'll take the stock - or "have fun staying poor" like crypto-token morons like to say.

Netflix comes around, other streaming services

The (admittedly inevitable) appearance of other streaming services was shit already since with it came exclusive content.

I suppressed most of my former js knowledge but I guess it's a string now.

RecluseRamble ,

That's how psychopaths learn, too! 👍

brave

No.

LotR movies were great. Hobbit squeezed more out of the book than it had in it.

Should've been a single 180 min movie as true to the material as LotR was and it would have been great, too.

The problem is people thinking the tool is a "calculator" (or fact-checker or search engine) while it's just a text generator. It's great for generating text.

But even then it can't keep a paragraph stable during the conversation. For me personally, the best antidote against the hype was to use the tool.

I don't judge people believing it's more than it is though. The industry is intentionally deceiving everyone about this and we also intuitively see intelligence when someone can eloquently express themselves. Seeing that in software seems magical.

We now have a great Star Trek like human machine interface. We only need real intelligence in the backend.

I guess that's far more unbreakable than what we have. But anyway, several three letter agencies will fight this (again) tooth and nails.

RecluseRamble ,

That was really my thought - future iterations of Chat GPT won't like spez very much.

I think it's both, his name and his power. In Thor 1 when Odin sends Mjolnir to earth he whispers to it something like "May he who's been worthy possess the power of Thor".

Well, iOS could just do it like every other OS that don't restore deleted data by installing an update.

Supports the claim people were more sensible back then. Today we have moron YouTubers who actually climb such heights without any safety.

liberties (that's what the lb means, right?)

You got me interested what it stands for. It's the Roman libra (meaning balance).

I have constant 5G now where I live. COVID vanished/became endemic before though.

RecluseRamble ,

Stupid sexy Gollum.

You don't need to go crypto to get there though

You never do. Its only use case is a payment system for online crime. And even for that many criminals prefer gift cards because it's such a hassle to explain crypto-tokens to your victims.

RecluseRamble ,

No, it's not useful as a cash substitute because of its hilarious inefficiency.

RecluseRamble ,

Also Ethereum is extremely inefficient compared to conventional tech (like just a database). All you need is to realize that complete trustlessness is impossible to understand that a distributed ledger has no problem to solve. And that's why there is no practical application after all these years.

RecluseRamble ,

You had a nose then.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again ( www.techspot.com )

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

RecluseRamble ,

Oh, it won't be exclusive EA-exclusive enshittification, I'm sure.

RecluseRamble ,

Yes.

A C degree is an okay degree.

Somehow Windows struggles with file i/o and always has been. When copying stuff to floppy disks in Win 3 or 95 the progress bar steadily grew to 100% and since floppies were loud, you could hear that the actual copying only started then and you had to wait longer staring at 100% than the progress bar before.

RecluseRamble ,

But you would edgily shoot you in the foot!

RecluseRamble ,

Would it touch it? I thought snakes only ate living food.

RecluseRamble ,

then what's stopping people from just going/staying on reddit?

Since your account age correlates with the Reddit mod exodus, I'm pretty sure you know why people here don't just stay there.

Right button right before a three week vacation.

Stick will rot, rock will stick.

Not perfect but I like it.

RecluseRamble ,

Since I only know of the Burger King Whopper, I'm really confused right now.

RecluseRamble ,

But do you have a fitting charger?

RecluseRamble ,

I was really nice to just charge like once a week though...

RecluseRamble ,

Too broad. I've seen my share of really bad mothers.

RecluseRamble ,

Well sure and to all other humans, too. You specifically mentioned mothers though.

RecluseRamble ,

You argue like a toddler. Or I'm too dense to sense the trolling - in that case: well done.

RecluseRamble , (edited )

I cannot accept facts? You're the one making claims and moving the goalpost with every reply. Now we've come from the "heroic" deed to raise a kid over giving birth to just having a menstrual cycle.

Do you know what a hero is? You can hardly define something as heroic that 50% of the world's population are just born into. Women are not heroes just for being women.

It might serve as an alternative to e.g Aegis to some.

Does it have any killer features in favor of using the free app of an for-profit company instead of an established FOSS app?

RecluseRamble ,

It says revenue, not profit, so even better.

Elon doesn't like boring

That can't be right. He does have a boring company.

RecluseRamble ,

Judging by the condition of the street it could well be Germany, too.

RecluseRamble ,

I agree. Militant meat eaters are just as annoying as cliché vegans but there seem to be more of the former.

Reducing meat consumption is probably the best way to go for most people (I've reduced mine because of my vegetarian wife and don't feel like I miss anything) but eating strictly vegan doesn't seem right to me. Anything that requires supplementation in the long run cannot be the final answer.

RecluseRamble ,

No, you're right, mass-produced meat comes from livestock with all kinds of deficiencies itself.

As I said I reduced my meat consumption - to maybe 1-2 times per week. And I try to avoid cheap mass-produced meat and aim for quality instead.

Not sure what's worse though: cheap meat or ultra-processed vegan meat alternatives (often severely lacking protein too) filling the shelves nowadays.

RecluseRamble ,

there are entire whole-food plant-based communities who routinely report the near-miraculous benefits they gain after adopting the diet, such as cholesterol levels that aren't deadly.

That is a far more complex topic than just meat consumption though. People don't just go vegan but completely change their diet and actually look at what they consume.

I've never had high cholesterol even back when I ate meat daily. Always ate lots of salads and veggies though and didn't snack sugary shit all day.

He actually died up there. Pretty tragic.
