I’m not sure I’m convinced. They don’t seem to be struggling with consensus on any other matters, so that kind of implies they’re just one single consciousness rather than a gestalt of conflicting ones. I don’t think the individuals are still in there, or they’re so completely subsumed they might as well be gone.

As for their vulnerability to emotional outbursts I’m betting that whatever happened with the immune survivors has made them into transmitters but not receivers for whatever psychic frequency the collective operates on. Which is why it cannot disobey or lie to her about anything except its “biological imperatives” and cannot handle her negative emotions since it disrupts the positive emotions it’s using to keep everyone’s consciousnesses subdued.

For someone who rolled up every psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker on earth into their head they don’t seem to know how to handle someone experiencing grief/ptsd very well.

series of increasingly large dominoes where the smallest is “NVIDIA releases CUDA” and the largest is “the entire global economy has become dependent on running a useless computer program that tricks stupid people into thinking it can do anything worthwhile”

iirc some dont have butts they just vomit it back up when they’re done.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon finds a bot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s extremely difficult to measure the effectiveness of online ads and most companies have an incentive to inflate their numbers since they’re sold as a certain number of views/impressions.

Advertising is a scam for both those who buy it and the intended audience.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks for nothing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
This must be some new dark pattern because my Meta VR headset, Twitter, and Instagram have all started giving me false notification badges recently. I’m just teaching myself to ignore the red badges because it’s not worth the annoyance.

Is this the same nestle slave labor case that went to the Supreme Court where nestle was successfully defended by a former Obama staffer or have they done this more than once?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why is EVERYTHINGGGGG behind a paywall?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Many of those apps were built on things produced and distributed for free. I would say they are, usually, just a fancy front end on some OSS library. That’s not without value, good interfaces are hard, but lets not pretend they’re doing all the work themselves, and they certainly aren’t eager to reinvest any of that money into the free software that made their shit possible.

Not even remotely unique to Trump. Like 90% of US politicians do this.

np glad it worked.

sounds like contentEditable got triggered on one of the elements on the page. if you want to try and get around this before they fix it you can press F12 and paste this into your console:
```
document.querySelectorAll("[contentEditable]").forEach(x=>x.contentEditable=false); 
```

My computer can’t run it very well but there’s a pretty decent VR mod out there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
If they bundled the item with a pack of batteries in a retail store and sold it for 39.99, would you still consider it cheaper?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
How? You cannot buy this “cheaper” version without spending more money. It’s 39.99 with free shipping other places. It’s $39.99 on Amazon because you have to pay for shipping. You’re not saving money, you’re just getting more stuff from Amazon.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Cheaper on Amazon, or anywhere else?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
How have you ‘saved’ money that you spent, exactly?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
So they’re getting you to buy more than you wanted or pull the trigger on something you were waiting on. Sounds like this is still a win for Amazon.

what’s going on with this car that has a center console in the middle of the back seat? is this AI generated?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
that’s not just non profits. ever wonder how so many nominally “unprofitable” companies seem to stick around forever?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Great, sounds like they didn’t need that donation money since the CEO will get them all the rich kickbacks they need. So what’s the problem?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New oven and they lock the air fryer functionality behind wifi.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
doesn’t seem to have stopped them from locking functionality that does not require an internet conneciton behind an internet connection, so i don’t see why they would care.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New oven and they lock the air fryer functionality behind wifi.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
which is great until you realize that if it cant connect to a server somewhere to download the latest Ad manifest it crashes the OvenOS and now your warranty is void AND you can’t bake a cake.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodwill is out of control⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
If they want people to keep shopping there and providing the income necessary to maintain that charitable work, they should probably try to maintain the perception that they price things cheaply enough to make it worth digging through racks of second hand goods.

It is a menu driven battler that ran on a game boy. It doesn’t take a programming savant to write this, no matter how many mechanics you bolt on top.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah it is possible he’s accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that’s how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a “bug”, though.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
you don’t get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a “bug”

If all your sponsors and business partners immediately flee you at mach speed over what you sent to that kid, it was certainly well past “inappropriate”
