This smells like AI

I’ve never watched The Office before, but I still don’t like her.
- Comment on Google makes Android development private, will continue open source releases 2 days ago:
The main 2 challenges I can think of is lack of native app support, phone hardware being pretty proprietary, and lack of carrier compatibility. Any truly open phone OS would have to emulate Android or iOS apps which would be very demanding on resources. Or just exclusively have web apps and fully open source apps of which there are very few for phones. Then you’d have to reverse engineer the chips that talk to the towers and/or get cell carriers to release firmware. Just overall a mess that has basically translated into the smartphone market being dominated by megacorps.

Buzzword spaghetti.

I imagine he still owns plenty of Apple stock so he might tell you to buy Apple just because of that lol.

Right, but you said released at the same time.

I don’t think people would be willing to pay twice.
- Comment on 'Dune 3', With Timothee Chalamet & Zendaya, Aims To Shoot This Summer 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think Leto would’ve been able to go through with the Golden Path either if he had ever been a normal human. Leto even calls himself an abomination which is what the Bene Gesserit were testing for at the beginning of the entire story. Paul is a human so he has flaws and can’t follow all the way through with dehumanizing himself to realize the Golden Path. Leto was never human in the first place. He was an abomination so the path was achievable for him. That’s my interpretation anyway.
- Comment on 'Dune 3', With Timothee Chalamet & Zendaya, Aims To Shoot This Summer 5 weeks ago:
Yep, I remember the line from the book. To me that shows self reflection/awareness that Hitler would’ve never been capable of. Paul understands that he does monstrous things and might be a monster himself. I think it really wears on him which is why the ending happens the way it does. There were ways out of the situation if he really wanted to go full blown space Hitler.
- Comment on 'Dune 3', With Timothee Chalamet & Zendaya, Aims To Shoot This Summer 5 weeks ago:
I’ve always thought the space Hitler thing was a pretty big misunderstanding or generalization of Paul’s character. Hitler couldn’t see the result of all outcomes and pick the least bad outcome in the same way. Paul could literally see the future and decided his path would result in the least amount of suffering. No human has ever been forced to experience that burden. I think he’s a fascinating character and the oversimplifications irk me a bit.

Might as well take their time since there’s like a 12 year time skip in the books.

The videos only being 6 seconds long really helped with the appeal.
- Comment on Mastodon’s founder cedes control to non-profit 2 months ago:
Mastodon has to be one of the most heavily moderated social media apps I’ve ever used. I’m sure it depends on the instance, but that’s kind of the nature of open source. Anyone can use the technology to post what they want. That’s why defederation exists. In what way would you want it to be even more moderated?

My cat loves when I wear a hat. She rubs her mouth against the brim.
- Comment on Should you bother with... mini PCs? 2 months ago:
Haven’t seen anyone mention the biggest deal breaker with these for me. The thermal and dust management is truly awful. They tend to overheat and collect dust super easily. You’re lucky if you get 4 years out of these things before they burn themselves out. And guess what? Barely repairable to boot.

Media outlets like to inflate their own self importance. See it all the time.
- Comment on ‘Abysmal’ comic book film [Kraven] makes box office history – for a very bad reason 2 months ago:
I think a lot of these movies entered production after the first 2 Venom movies. By the time Sony realized they weren’t going to see the same success, it was too late to pull the plug. I think Kraven is the last one in the pipe so I doubt we’ll see anymore. Even Venom 3 didn’t do that great.

I’ve had bus drivers take the wrong route. Then refuse to stop when I asked so I could just walk to my transfer. Ended up needing to walk over a mile because they told me I’d have to wait for the next stop. It was so infuriating I don’t even blame people for not asking. I submitted a complaint about it later.

The more I learn about the sun, the more I realize those ancient civilizations who worshipped it got it right. Look at that thing it’s fucking huge, scary, and it’s like right there.
