Right? I understand Windows is mass surveillance spyware, but holy shit the Linux proselytizing on this site is worse than any Christian mission, it's straight up ridiculous. If anything, all the constant nagging will further entrench some users into Windows out of spite.

I've been here, hiked on that exact path. The canyon is gorgeous, the whole thing is windswept such that you can see different eras of erosion on the surface of the rocks. On the main path, you can view dwellings in the distance on slopes that seem impossible to traverse. It's a beautiful place and a testament to Native American resourcefulness. Pretty close to the Barringer crater too.

Obviously it's higher. If it was any lower, they would've made a huge announcement out of it to prove they're better than the competition.

This is the first time they've been caught. It would be naive to think this is the only time this has happened. No doubt they've scrubbed data of bad actors on their side many times without anyone knowing.

A paid plan on a chat application? Needs a catchy hook... Matrix Nitro, perhaps?

Carrier pigeons didn't have government backdoors. Maybe we ought to go back to them

I don't believe so, I think it has to do more with seeing something novel that you don't get to see every day. Like, not many people have the means to fill a house with elephant toothpaste, so when someone does that it makes for a pretty entertaining video.

First thing I thought of lmao

I wonder if there's a market here. I feel like a company that cleans up AI bullshit would make bank lol

I love this idea, but the main obstacle this has to overcome is the voter's knowledge of the issues and any given candidate stances on them. If we implemented this in the US, I feel like most people would still simply delegate all their votes to one candidate or all candidates of a particular party. It's a lot of information for a working person to keep track of. Any idea on how to overcome this with paper ballots? Or are computerized ballots with all relevant information embedded within the way to go?

Why do they exclusively only cancel good shows (Mindhunter, Inside Job, now this) and keep up actual garbage?? I don't think Netflix has made a wise business decision ever, the only reason they're successful is because they were the first. They're lucky Blockbuster didn't buy them.

I'm a pretty conservative game purchaser. I've never paid over $40 for a game (including games on sale) because there are so, so many amazing indie games on Steam that charge so little for many hours of fun.

When I see a AAA game come out, I know it's going to be profit-driven, uninspired, and rushed because it exists solely for the purpose of making money for a large corp. For that reason (among others), I avoid them altogether because I know my dollar goes way further going toward an independent developer who makes games for passion (and only sometimes for money). The passion always shines through in their work, unlike passionless AAA games.

Exactly right. Prompt ""engineering"" is the same as calling the guy at Subway making a sub a "sandwich engineer." It dilutes the value of jobs where people actually engineer things.

If abject racism is Republicans' best criticism of Mamdani's policies, then that bodes really well for his platform.

It's almost as if removing LiDAR cameras in favor of traditional cameras "because they're stupid" was the most idiotic ketamine-fueled decision a company could ever make. Why anyone believes Teslas can drive themselves in uncertain situations is beyond me.

Sounds like the beginning of a short story by Greg Egan.

It's so sad what happened to Fetterman.. I was a huge supporter of his even before he began his Senate campaign but then he had a stroke and became a diet Republican. Fuck him

I was like you once. Had to move back in with my parents, couldn't find a job for months on end. Floating through life without a fire in me felt like shit. Your problems aren't trivial. Things will get better. Forgive the platitude, but despite what you believe right now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I had/have a terrible anxiety disorder (still working on it to some degree, but I'm able to control it now) that was eating my life and my happiness away. What helped me tremendously was looking inward and asking why I feel these things without indulging any thoughts that came up. Objectively analyzing each thought and feeling without judgement. Each new revelation was followed by "well, why is that true?" Your emotions aren't there for no reason, they're indicators of your internal state like warning lights. Asking why they're going off will lead you to the answers you want.

From there, I accepted that my parents were straight up emotionally neglectful/abusive. I won't delve into it for brevity, but I encourage you to objectively analyze your relationship with your parents. When I did that, I realized they were the source of my insecurities. Their constant criticism disguised as "jokes" and boundary breaking spawned that horrible anxiety disorder. Maybe your parents have done something similar?

Read The Body Keeps the Score. It echoes pretty much everything I've said here. The best part? It's empirically validated, no woo-woo bullshit.

I hope this helped even a tiny bit.

Tankies on their way to hate private ownership and dictatorship of the bourgeoisie so much that they begin to love state ownership and dictatorship of the bureacracy

The lack of continuous and backlogged content. For some this is a benefit because it gives them a reason to stop scrolling, but for others who come here to look for answers, find entertainment, or anonymously voice their opinions, this can be something of a downside.

Of course this platform is as anonymous as you make it, but I've seen some people say they refrain from commenting more often because they don't want to be known as a regular, instead wanting to "blend in to the crowd" as one would on more populous sites like Reddit or Twitter.
