- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 4 days ago:
Eventually, the bubble will burst.
Venture Cap paid for the first round of hardware; it has to make real money for the second round.
Once the token price rises to the actual cost of buying the ephemeral hardware it’s running on, no one will want to use it for the hard stuff.

When everyone stops chasing cryptocoin and AI the prices will come down.
As long as people will pay 2k for a video card, they’ll charge 2k for a video card :(
The market doesn’t discern between gamers, cryptobros, and corporations.
I thought we were about to have a break when everything went ASIC, but that just didn’t last.

- Comment on 600 GB of Alleged Great Firewall of China Data Published in Largest Leak Yet 6 days ago:
I mean, it’s a data leak. It’s not really China good or China bad. This is what China is doing. And they’re doing it on their own network to their own people and then lending the technology out to others that want to do it on their own networks.
To be honest, I find this rather exciting. Based on recent moves in Europe and the US, I suspect that everyone is going to be doing this before long. And I, for one, would like to get out in front of it and see some of the methods they’re using. And not to just subvert, but see what they’re doing, when it comes to my neck of the woods, what can I do about it? Or, even more importantly, what am I going to get in trouble for that I’m doing now that’s not currently, but will soon be illegal.

I believe they were packaging shitware with their binaries. It also isn’t generally healthy to do a lot of the things they do to the operating system. For a free, quick emergency on install, imo they are fine, I removed it after it got the job done.
I don’t know what the current free uninstaller is, my first thought was Revo, but it looks like somebody threw up monetization all over their shit.
I could probably have used Gandalf or something, but I haven’t updated it in a while and I just wanted CC gone.
Thanks for the tip though.

He had a following cheering him on, too.
There’s a family of kids who’ve died to school shooters. In a lot of cases, they’re very upset and have very little to live for.
He was perpetuating it. I’m honestly shocked it took this long.

We’d mostly have a different views if he weren’t openly advocating for school shootings. He was literally framing them as a good thing. He was shock and awe, and drawing followers. It’s not all jokes, people are happy he’s dead and rightfully so imo.

It was unexpected, I’ll give it that. If I saw it on a movie, i’d have called it fake :)

I miss the malls, man. Like, some of them still exist, but they’re dying. You used to be able to just go and window shop and chill and grab a bite. Maybe go hit the arcade. Go watch a movie. You didn’t really have to have plans. You would just meet up and then fart around doing something.
Now it’s almost all strip mall. What are we going to meet at the target? Then walk a mile in the weather to go to the Best Buy.
Of course, I also miss my friends being as bored as I was. I think social media and local devices replaced a lot of that.

Never skip Taco Day.

Yeah, I think it works that way for most people. I’m an introvert and I could deal with it, probably even enjoy it while it’s going on and swear that we would do it again. And then schedule it and dread it the day before going I just don’t have the energy for this.
I think it first, life gets in the way and then like an atrophied muscle. We lose the social stamina.

Oh my god, this.
I spent the whole morning on my day off fighting with my kids’ windows install.
“when I open rope locks and I open chrome at the same time if everything just lags and stutters.” " I think it’s because Chrome is using 30% of my memory up when I open it. Can you help me fix it?"
What started as a educational how things actually work, what matters, what doesn’t matter, quickly evolved into why in the fuck can’t I uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud. Followed by looking up a dozen services I’ve never seen before which are apparently part of Windows now, but have names like corporate products that don’t have anything to do with Windows.
I showed him the start-up and the task scheduler and all the little bits and bobs for things to detect what’s happening. Showed him how to look through the task manager list. Uninstall the stuff that isn’t necessary, reboot, and check again.
Fucking creative Cloud would not uninstall. Hit uninstall. App opens to update. No option but to update.
I’m trying not to go in bull in a china shop because it’s a teaching moment. We search, find to delete the program data and try again. It unlocked it enough that I could log into it, then uninstall. Why the ever-living fuck would you have to log into the app to uninstall it?
We installed sea ccleaner afterwards. And did some cleanup. I did Linux on the desktop for 14 years. Went back to Windows for a few years and dropped back in for NixOS for the past couple of years and God I hate dealing with windows now…

Drunk as a skunk, Rumba stood in the parking lot, staggering, freshly jilted. Arms raised in the air. Crying, screaming, and laughing maniacally, he urged all the magic showers of stone. They would pay. They would all pay. And he would pay too. But it seemed a small price. The stars begin to twinkle and to procure your passion. The moon, in its full glory tonight, grew by its third in just seconds.
The stars seemed to wink out of existence. First, a couple at a time, then in large swaths. They weren’t gone, but obscured. A few minutes after the last star disappeared from the sky, it was replaced by something wonderful, something magical. Before its impending death, the earth would be subject to it’s last and most amazing light show.
New stars seemed to faintly appear, but they were wrong, beautifully wrong. And they seemed to move, but as they did, they traced magnificent lines in the sky.
He dougian as he also his heels an pulled once more the heavens demanding the sky come. The lines turned into stripes. The stripes turned into an ever-increasing glow. But he didn’t summon just enough gravel to end the earth. He summoned gravel for hundreds of thousands of miles. Soon the moon would just be another layer in the crust, and still the gravel would fall. Long after humanity had breathed its last breath, the gravel would still fall. The inner planets and sun would soon dance an intricate path eventually merged together with the sun itself. But still, the gravel would fall. Not until some centuries later, one of the sun had increased to about 20 times its original mass, with the black hole form that would slowly engulf the rest of the known galaxy.

If there are no limits of scale or delivery, i think it’s OP.
cut me off? I’m gonna follow you at a disance and summon 50 tons of gravel around your car.
File an HOA complaint on me? You’re going to need a bobcat to find your front door.
Can i summon it anywhere without going there? You know how hard it is to get rid of gravel?

Nuggets are’t full of gristle anymore
Hamburgers haven’t changed, maybe the loss of the heat-proof styrofoam packaging.
Fries are cooked in peanut oil instead of beef tallow, but they added beef flavoring to them.
Burger king was better back then, but I don’t think McD was notably different IMO.

50:50 I think Moffat even mentioned that he didn’t think they knew what they were doing yet.
Looking at her IMDB, it doesn’t seem like she’s got a lot going on, then a few episodes of Wednesday.
I think she’d be a fine fit, her schedule doesn’t appear to be too overgrown. But even at that, I don’t think we’re going to see any new episodes other than a Christmas special or two for a bit, at some point they’ll make a decision I seriously don’t have been made yet.
