Wouldn’t make enough rich people any richer. So we can’t have that.

They will have to offer iMessage compatibility to get me to switch back to android. I only have an iPhone because almost everyone in my life uses iMessage.

Bye ,

Yes I am aware that it’s not possible for google to implement it, without some kind of lawsuit. Which they should do.

I’m just saying that without it, I really can’t go back to android.

Bye ,

I wasn’t implying google is keeping it off of android. Everyone knows apple gate keeps it to keep people on iPhone.

I’m just saying that without it, I can’t go back to android.

Bye ,

Yeah really. Or someone will create an abstraction layer above WhatsApp/signal/iMessage/etc so I don’t have to use multiple programs to talk with my friends.

Bye ,

Congratulations!

I thought vaping was fine because I didn’t know it had nicotine in it.

Super fucking addictive, it should absolutely be regulated because currently in most places it isn’t, as evidenced by all the kids buying vapes.

But is their goal terror for a political purpose? I thought they were just going in and taking land and doing slow genocide. That isn’t terrorism (I mean, it’s worse), it’s a different thing.

Bye ,

No, it’s not political. It has a political element, but so does basically everything. Which would render the word “terrorism” useless.

The main goal of annexation isn’t politics. It’s theft. The Palestinians have a thing the Israelis want (land) and the Israelis are stealing it. That’s conquest, and genocide, not terrorism

Bye ,

So all war, ever, including defensive war, is terrorism? Not super useful.

There are multiple definitions of political, and you’re using the least useful one.

Tuvok my Vulcan man

Why can’t you understand

I want more memes in here

Stick that in your pointy ear

Bye ,

a cool 3-letter username can be neat

Found out when I tried to get a domain name for my initials. Very fucking expensive.

Bye ,

Who benefits economically by addressing the needs of Palestinians?

Unless the answer is “us billionaires”, you have your answer for what policy will be inacted.

The answer to every “what policy will the US take” is “whichever most benefits the rich, and if multiple, whichever most benefits the rich to the exclusion of the poor”.

Cigarettes are healthiest when smoked by pregnant women, according to a new study by the tobacco farmers of america

Bye ,

But aren’t you agreeing with the article? The USA attacked Afghanistan, which housed Usama bin Laden, who was a Saudi and was funded and supported by saudis

The Israelis are attacking Palestine, which houses hamas, which is Iranian (suspected to have Iranian members and soldiers), and is funded and supplied and intellectually descended from Iran

Colonel sanders

If the invaded country is developed and already has similar values to my culture: copy/paste what was done with Japan and Germany. Write them a new constitution, invest in development.

Else: oh fuck I don’t know. You probably need a strong dictatorship because otherwise the people will vote for their own dictator. Force education, instill modern (yes that’s pejorative) values. 20 years later maybe they can have democracy.

Bye ,

I’m usually the first to complain about character driven movies, as opposed to story driven. Usually I despise the former category.

Somehow, blade runner 2049 is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. That’s how fucking good it is.

It was originally rar because it’s so easy to separate into multiple files. Now you can do that in other formats, but the legacy has stuck.

Bye ,

I have so many friends who were like “yeah I knew it was fake”. Even if they did, so many of us didn’t and were scared. I was super scared. Fucking old man I hate him. Why would you wait so long to send the follow up. Awful.

Bye ,

Surviving by clinging to a job I don’t like, and taking lots of trips. Just spent 3 weeks in Europe and everything here is so much cheaper, their nice hotels are the price of our cheap ones. It’s crazy.

In any other economy I would have quit to start my own business.

Bye ,

Sometimes I see new broncos and I’m jealous, but now I have this knowledge so I don’t need to be.

Also tiny 2.7L turbo v6? Pathetic

I thought my Toyota’s 4L v6 was small, now I feel better. Some day I’ll save up and buy the TRD supercharger kit :)

Bye ,

If I didn’t do this, I wouldn’t have a job

Gotta leave unfinished tasks and make frivolous jira issues so it looks like there’s a reason to keep paying me to do 2 hours of work a week

Bye ,

How do you get it on the tv? Like is there an interface she can use?

Bye ,

Bring back Tay

Bye ,

Why not?

Bye ,

Let’s say I’m a carpenter, and occasionally I open up a cad program and draw up a wrench or lathe chuck and have it cut out of sheet steel. Yes, I did some engineering but I’m not really an engineer.

Likewise let’s say I’m an artist. Maybe I write code now and then to program my automatic paint mixer or whatever.

Code to build something: engineer

Code to use something: programmer

The Internet Is About to Get Much Worse (www.nytimes.com)

This is a classic case of tragedy of the commons, where a common resource is harmed by the profit interests of individuals. The traditional example of this is a public field that cattle can graze upon. Without any limits, individual cattle owners have an incentive to overgraze the land, destroying its value to everybody....

Bye ,

Isn’t that true with people too? If I read a bunch of books and then use what I learned to write a new book, I’m not crediting the original authors. If I learn painting techniques from Van Gogh and el Greco, I’m not crediting them either.

Bye ,

Yeah I really can’t believe the extent of the exploitation.

I started working from home in 2021 and holy shit, I used to work like 5-8 hours a day, and now I only work 1-2 hours and only 3-4 days a week. And I’m one of the top employees, my evaluations are always exceeds expectations, etc. My commit history is legendary status; I honestly don’t know what other people are even doing if they’re actually working all day. Definitely not atomic commits I’ll tell ya that.

So given how little time I spend working now, it means the amount of my life that was being fucking STOLEN from me before I was working from home was INSANE.

And they are STILL taking the value of my labor from me, which just means the degree of exploitation of most people is just ridiculous.

Bye ,

How about they buy sega instead

I want more sonic mania games and apparently sega won’t make them.

Bye ,

Can they please conduct raids here in the US too

Thanks

I despise subscriptions for most things. Movies, tv, audio. The technology to play them doesn’t really change: you could listen to modern audio with 1970s technology, your cel phone, and a 25 cent cable. Similar with movies. So I pirate all that stuff.

But video games? The hardware really is prohibitive for big titles. I want to play starfield because I loved oblivion and morrowind, but the hardware is so expensive. My pc could play it but nvidia linux drivers are a mess.

Anyways, my point is that streaming actually makes sense for games. Plus I could play for a month, finish the game, and subscribe and play the next big title when it comes out.

If I can stream games onto my computer or old Xbone (no reason why not) with low latency for like $15/mo, hell yeah I’ll do it.

Bye ,

“No one wants to work anymore” does not mean what it’s individual words imply. It’s like “fucking hell”. It has a different meaning.

It means “we don’t want to pay, we think labor is too expensive”

Bye ,

Maybe one or more of them were spies and their intel was worth that much

Bye ,

Yes I dropped signal when it stopped supporting sms. That was a really dumb choice and I honestly don’t know why they did it

Bye ,

Because 90%+ of my contacts use sms (USA) and keeping touch across multiple apps is a huge pain. Like remembering which contact uses which service is stupid.

Apple A17 Pro SoC Within Reach of Intel i9-13900K in Single-Core Performance (www.techpowerup.com)

An Apple "iPhone16,1" was put through the Geekbench 6.2 gauntlet earlier this week—according to database info this pre-release sample was running a build of iOS 17.0 (currently in preview) and its logic board goes under the "D83AP" moniker. It is interesting to see a 16-series unit hitting the test phase only a day after the...

Bye ,

Should just throw an x86 coprocessor slot on the motherboard, that way we can all embrace RISC-V (or arm or whatever the fuck)

Bye ,

Frame swap it.

The VIN is on the frame. If you swap it to a new frame that doesn’t have a salvage title, it’s not the same vehicle anymore. You need to make sure you get a clean title with the new frame, but that’s actually not as hard as it sounds.

There are also ways to launder rebuilt vehicles. Some states don’t track rebuilt title, and will give you a clean title (but a digital check will reveal that it’s rebuilt)

Bye ,

Why not?

Bye ,

No most of the time it’s a car that got hit by hail and the body work totaled the car, or something like that. I’ve owned two.

Bye ,

Oh you have to do the swap yourself. On an older bike it’s a day or two. Newer bike, twice that. Just look for bikes for sale with blown engines etc.

Bye ,

Yes I mentioned that in my other comment.

Bought a car with a clean NY title a few years ago, drove it for 4 years. Wonderful car. Sold it because I was moving overseas, buyer did a vin check, and it was salvage but washed. Wound up selling for the same amount anyways, found a buyer who didn’t care.

Bye ,

Because we had massive jumps from like 1999-2008. Bring those back.

Bye ,

But the little assistants could be so much better.

Like I want to ask Siri to do complicated tasks. Make me a reservation. Find a picture of a cow and send it to Jeff. Change my background to StarCraft. Stuff like that.

Bye ,

I’d add a personal assistant that lives up to the promise. It can make reservations for you, find out when your friends are available, navigate phone trees, etc.

Bye ,

Yeah exactly. My girlfriend is not tech savvy. It needs to be as easy as Netflix, meaning I need it to run on the smart tv.

Bye ,

Ok so this video convinced me hyperloops are a bad idea because vacuum is difficult to maintain

well then what’s a good idea that can go faster than airplanes? What am I supposed to be excited about instead? I love trains and the hyper loop sounded like a really fast train, which is cool.

Bye ,

I’m sure there’s a PR playbook somewhere with a flowchart that says, did you screw up really badly and you look like the villain? - yes - There’s public outrage? - yes - say there’s death threats
