Yeah, I thought that too for a while, but over the last 5 or 6 years I'm sticking with my initial gut feeling on the matter.
Is marijuana-induced psychosis a real thing or is it just more reefer madness scaremongering?
Some people function fine with it and others don't. Just like some people get aggressive with alcohol and others become funny or idiotic. I used to smoke weed in my 20s and early 30s but then it started to make me paranoid so I quit. I know people that have smoked it all their life and are fine other than being a bit lazy or boring. It's a good tool if you play an instrument and write music. Some of the strains that are available these days are more akin to taking a psychedelic than smoking the weed I remember.
I met Rogan briefly back in 2003 when Stanhope invited me out to his desert party. They were both working on The Man Show at the time and we went out to the studio cos Doug had a couple of things to wrap up before we took off to Panamint Springs. Rogan was sitting at a computer that he barely looked up from. I took an instant dislike to his dismissiveness. I don't get starstruck easily and back then he was hardly the celebrity he is now (me being from Scotland I only knew him as some half-rate comedian that I never found that funny). Something about his demeanour pissed me right off. I've always been the kind of person that goes with gut instinct when I meet someone for the first time (it's served me well over the years) and my gut told me this guy was a prick. He seemed to come across as having a sense of entitlement. It was a very brief encounter and introduction, but I never forgot it and haven't been too surprised by the level of fame he has achieved. He came across as someone very focussed and driven on making it big at any cost. I guess we now all see the cost. There was a sweet spot a few years ago when his interviews were good and entertaining but now it's just him repeating himself all the time and getting the same guests on like his CIA handler Mike Baker. There's clearly a political agenda to his show and Rogan has been bought and paid for many times over.
The GUI is intuitive. It boots initially into an OS with a bunch of useful tools. The disk cloning software is straightforward and it works perfectly - I can vouch for this since I've had to resort to it on a couple of occasions restoring my system from the back up images. It's also not complicated like Clonezilla.
Foxclone every time. Excellent piece of kit.
Hindsight is all well and good, but a bit of foresight comes in handy now and again.
I'm old enough to know where this is going.
Did I just hear a POP!?
Let's face it, the arse has fallen out of it already.
If you're going to use quotes then at least make sure you quote me correctly. I didn't say that it wouldn't generate wealth - read my post again. I said "very little of value [is] being generated by most end users".
I can see why you need AI.
The pop of the AI bubble will probably be much worse. During the Dot Com era, people were actually generating wealth for a period. With AI, so much has been invested in the concept with the result being very little of value being generated by most end users.
The Dawn Breeze, perhaps?
Try LXLE. I stuck it on an old 16+ year old desktop and it runs smoothly as my shed computer.
Just tried it on Ask Jeeves as you suggested. It wasn't very helpful:
And the point is that I'd rather talk to a human.
See, now I've learned something that I wouldn't get from Google.
I don't use Google. I deGoogled my life. Besides, if we just used Google for everything there would be no point communicating at all and thus no point in Lemmy. We could all just ask the Master Google questions, chat with it's AI and stay locked in our bedrooms eating pizza sponsored by Google.
Right Elon, you've made the spaceships and electric cars. Cheers for that. Now fuck off and disappear up your own arse.
It used to be called Oil of Ulay here in the UK. When I went to Australia in the late 90s it was Oil of Ulan. Then one day I discovered it was Oil of Olay. I thought I was losing my mind and that this was a classic case of the Mandela Effect. Turns out it was just marketing, like Marathon becoming Snickers.
Don't need any of them which is good because it saved me having to watch some shitty YouTube vid.
Trump says... # fill in bullshit and outlandish nonsense here #
Recycling is not the answer. Forcing manufacturers and suppliers to stop producing all this unnecessary shit is.
Go for it man. It looks awesome. I might actually save up and get one myself. Fuck pressure washers!
