Toaster control for sure. After selling my robot toasters as a cheap way to communicate with satellites, I’ll command an army of them all over the solar system.

I meant more like, AI is the future but it may be of limited use right now.

If someone said this in 1990 it would be just as true as you saying it today. Would you have used generative AI tools for video game development back then?

Leave a bad review for them breaking the law. Each time they threaten you, continue to append their email to your review.

That’s not developmentally normal even for a tablet kid, fyi. I would help them seek immediate evaluation…
I have a family member who was a tablet kid when they were 8. However they engage with me, their favorite thing is to play the addictive tablet game in my lap and they love when I or others play it with them, especially if you make a story out of it. They watch way too much YouTube but they were delighted when I watched with them, we did thumbs up and thumbs down and talked about what we were watching. They love me and sadly are a bit attention starved but that’s a lot more normal.

Pretty sure when people use that term they’re not thinking “I can usually have a baby at 55”.

Not disagreeing with your point, but women can have children until menopause. It gets riskier and harder but not as much as most people commonly believe. “Biological clock” is a largely made up concept.

We’re talking about Jay Gruber, the CEO of Bluesky. Tetris11 thought she was a man so I corrected that. Jay Gruber is notoriously a woman, which I find important because she’s a woman tech CEO in a pile of white dudes.

Great catch. The leftmost tooth in the right image is a dead giveaway, unless he had a strange cleft lip (the left image shows that is not the case).
The image isn’t funny if it isn’t real. But it’s too good and also blurry to be obvious.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they should that they didn’t stop to think if they could.

It reminds me of a time where things were better. They focused less on shiny, soulless graphics and more on the heart of the game. Our minds filled in more details and it was fine. Games today are much more likely to have glittery graphics and be absolutely soulless.

The U.S. general electorate was polled. A minority of 27% agreed with the following statement: “we should eat billionaires”, but a supermajority 78% agreed with this one: “purchasing organs from third world countries should be legal”.

I disagree, it’s not just nostalgia. Things were less enshittified in that era. The writing, story telling, world building, and creative direction were far superior and games were weirder. That’s why I like the style anyways

I’ve lived this lifestyle and felt this way all the time. When I left my toxic job I stopped feeling that way. Sometimes it’s not a mental health disorder and just our shitty society.

The Parent-Teacher Association? 😂
- Comment on Anon updates GNU/linux 4 weeks ago:
This more or less happened to my friend in early ~2000s, they were technically amazing for grade school. When the school “database” was deleted they + friend were suspended for an entire month, almost expelled.
Turns out they had warned their teacher that the files were in a public shared folder and anyone could just literally delete them. No backups, these were grades, assignments, etc for dozens of teachers over many years. They were severely punished for trying to disclose a vulnerability essentially and blamed for the whole thing.
- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 4 weeks ago:
Never heard of it, thanks for sharing. I can’t comment on hunger but anything over 1-2% body weight per month is going to be absolutely brutal even for a leptin-normal person. Unless this person weighs 250-500 kg that will be impossible to adhere to and they will fall into a cycle of shame and rebound weight gain. Please don’t do that to yourself, be gentle.
- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 4 weeks ago:
For anyone trying to lose weight, that is way too fast to be sustainable. You didn’t gain 5kg/mo, and you won’t lose it that fast.

Again Monero is immediately useful to many people, and so are other cryptos. You don’t have to use them and they may not be useful to you. But they are useful to others.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
Seashells require face to face interaction, they weigh a lot and they are not convenient to obtain. Nor are they fungible or even anonymous. I am not convinced they are better than Monero, or that Monero has no value.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
Yes, so you agree that Monero has value then, especially in countries like the US?
- Comment on Why doesn't the US build a bridge here to connect Alaska to the mainland? Are they stupid? 5 weeks ago:
This is a misconception. It’s not expensive to build the bridge, it’s just prohibitive to move Alaska down there.
