Surely not!

This is the golden age of misinformation and you are bitching about citations?

He doesn’t get to decide how my conversations go. Fuck off.

The planet is dying, we have pretty much given up on even pretending to do anything about it, and the rich are using the time we have left before mass die offs to get AI up and running early enough to perfect it.

Just a thought that occurred to me today. In better times I would dismiss it as nothing more than an amusing conspiracy theory but lately…

I can certainly understand holding grudges against corporations. I didn’t buy anything from Sony for a very long time after their fuckery George Hotz and Nintendo’s latest horseshit has me staying away from them, but that was a single firmware bug that locked down hard drives (note, the data was still intact) a very long time ago. Seagate even issued a firmware update to prevent the bug from biting users it hadn’t hit yet, but firmware updates at the time weren’t really something people thought to ever do, and operating systems did not check for them automatically back then like they do now.

Seagate fucked up but they also did everything they could to make it right. That matters. Plus, look at their competition. WD famously lied about their red drives not being SMR when they actually were. And I’ve only ever had WD hard drives and sandisk flash drives die on me. And guess who owns sandisk? Western Digital!

I guess if you must go with a another company, there’s the louder and more expensive Toshiba drives but I have never used those before so I know nothing about them aside from their reputation for being loud.

I think they were trying to lean too hard into the warring gamers battling it out, and the black woman represented the original PSP while the white woman represented the new white PSP, player 2.

But they put it on a fucking billboard where the only context we have to go by is beating the shit out of a black chick. What they fuck did they expect people to think?

Like artistically I can see what they were aiming for with this but they not only failed to understand the medium and audience, but when the obvious interpretation came to their attention they did not fucking care.

Just incredible.

Nothing. But this does it all in bull instantly for free.

I actually really like how macOS handled full screen apps, with the windows 8 style side by side and a simple gesture flipping between them like pages in a book.

I’m surprised you didn’t post that PSP ad with the white lady beating the shit out of the black lady…to promote the sale of a white PSP.

I’m looking at suse tumbleweed for an upcoming build. Ubuntu is getting obnoxious, mint is ugly and way behind on Wayland support and fedora I can’t really trust at this point as it’s a community version of a corporate American product. Like I could ignore the corporate stink before but -gestures broadly- not in this climate.

I liked arch but now that bcacheFS is getting yanked out of the kernel I don’t really have a reason to manually do so much myself anymore.

This looks….abusable. I mean, the immich thing is nice but what’s stopping me from breaking into an iCloud account, dumping the photos into this and letting it tell me the best way to stalk someone?

Also, Java in 2025 is an odd thing to see. What problem did using Java solve?

Dude, Luigi and I were playing twisted metal black that afternoon.

Hmm you’re right. It looks like it CAN draw more power but under the same load would draw less. How did I make that mistake? Thanks for correcting me.

Look at the idle power draw. The 9900 is higher and the performance is not that much better.

We’re likely on those lists already for using lemmy.

TDPs the same? Bah! I’m looking at a 7900 build and this would be two generations that cannot match its energy efficiency.

This has gotten easier as I’ve gotten older. I just don’t care for beef anymore. I’m not disgusted by it. I just prefer other things anymore.

You would think after ditching a bunch of rich fuckers on an island they wouldn’t get another chance to try that again.

Enter the calm and quiet room

Pass out torches and pitchforks, guns and knives

War erupts.
