I was active - and I mean ACTIVE - on reddit for well over a decade. When the API fiasco happened, I deleted my mobile apps, and stuck to desktop. When ‘opt out of selling your data’ became impossible, I logged out for good.

Lemmy is both better and worse than reddit ever was. It will likely never reach the same activity level, but will also not reach the same toxicity.

2 is for 2-spirit; I’ve seen both 2 and 2S, but either way it refers to Indigenous 3rd-gender folks.

Let’s cut to the chase.

This bill, and many like it, are created with a clear purpose: to subjugate women. Harming the LGBTQ2+ community is almost secondary, since they can do that just fine already.

Sorry, but a shithead losing support doesn’t qualify as news.

You don’t need an app for that, just replace ‘www’ with ‘old’ in the URL.

PfFt. Amateur level stuff!

Try this on for size:

And that’s not the limit, either.

Gas for the motorcycle, and ride. Maybe $10 for gas and $5 for a coffee somewhere.

Nobody cares anymore.

As frustrating as this may be, it’s even more frustrating when I see exactly the same thing among PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!

directory structure and basic text editing are foreign concepts to them. If it’s not in their IDE, they really don’t understand it.

Also, 90% of them are hunt-and-peck two finger typists.

Really?

The PDF contains the information. The screenshot contains a picture of the information.

It’s a tree vs. a picture of a tree. A recording vs. a live performance.

Bullshit.

This whole endeavour is looking like a careful plan to implement a smaller, slightly less horrible idea in Win11, and then creep forward from there.

Remember the model to move the goal line, folks:

• Overreach
• Capitulate publicly and fall back to your true target
• Repeat

Best of all, these large steps can be supplemented by nudging things forward with ‘adjusttments.’

I wish we could really press the main point here: Google is willfully foisting their LLM on the public, and presenting it as a useful tool. It is not, which makes them guilty of neglicence and fraud.

Pichai needs to end up in jail and Google broken up into at least ten companies.

More garbage linkspam. Time to block this spammer.

Can we please not turn this group into ads/sponsorship/shitposts?

It would be nice if there was some editorial restraint, rather rhan mindlessly posting every single article from eveey single gaming site.

Same as I’ve been saying for 25 years:

Fuck Sony, and fuck their anti-consumer practices.

Think about it: even if you can get a psn account and play without a problem, this is being done to exploit and commoditize you.

Fuck Sony.

Morrowind was bundled with a video card I got, and thought I’d at least try it. I had no idea what it was or how it worked, and I fell headfirst into it. WEEKS thrown at it, and I never got bored.

After that, Oblivion was a letdown for me and I didn’t get very far into it. Skyrim was great fun, but the lore was clearly secondary. (I eventually went back to Oblivion and found it a better story than Skyrim, but Morrowind is still the best.)

In no order…

• Grim Fandango
• Psychonauts (I and II combined)
• Fallout New Vegas
• Morrowind
• Portal (I and II combined)
• Thief (1-3 combined)
• Civilization II
• Space Invaders
• Falcon series (F3 and 4.0)
• The Pandora Directive

And some bonus games to add to the mix, because there are too many amazing games in the world.

• The Longest Journey/Dreamfall
• Red Dead Redemption II
• Mass Effect

EDIT Also

• Pac Man
• Quake II

This is only a problem if you present the AI as an effective general-purpose tool. Which Google has.

So maybe we start suing google for harmful answers.

Microsoft needs this.

The OS is no longer your property.

Microsoft is not in the business of providing what users want from their computer.

Bill Joy.
