30 cybertrucks, one owner? Fucking spiders georg here

Taleya ,

But where will i put my milk and comic book?

Taleya ,

Underdogs was such a great site

Taleya ,

Satellite images show that the US military pier on Gaza’s coast has been removed. An anonymous US official said the military was moving it due to anticipated sea conditions.

Oh look, it’s my sign to leave

Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI (arstechnica.com)

Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority, President Brad Smith testified to Congress on Thursday, promising that security will be “more important even than the company’s work on artificial intelligence.”...

Taleya ,

the funniest part of the fall of MS for me has been the cunts getting so excited about fucking off the home users they forgot one vital thing: C-suite and beancounters run at a home user level. And most infrastructure techs will happily flick to a linux distro come server build time.

Their current direction has also pretty much killed their use in anything related to media distribution, it’s virtually a detailed list of TPN violations

Taleya ,

But will it do the tory Power Stance?

Taleya ,

Low res webcam, massive north facing window behind me (australia), i make people pay dearly for wasting my time with meetings

Taleya ,

damned skippy.

I would also have accepted close encounters or there are four lights.

Is "food" a social construct?

Hear me out. There’s nothing innate to an object that makes it “food”. It’s an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that’s edible “food”....

Taleya , (edited )

This is one of those gender vs sex dealies.

Food is not a social construct. But meals are.

Taleya ,

sex is also a social construct

Can we also at least stick our head down that rabbit hole? Because holy shit yes that nebulous hybrid of social convention and biological (on a species level) necessity is also where food fits…

(I am referring of course to sex the act, not the synonym for gender…)

Taleya ,

Ohhh that’s some mondasian bullshit

uhhhhh

Linux on old School Machines?

Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on...

Taleya ,

I think you’ll find these machines are exceedingly usable when you put a non-bloated OS on them

Taleya ,

Tim Minchin jeebus!

Taleya ,

Previously the fucking around was drivers, HAL, compatibility etc. now it’s a goddamn delousing

Taleya ,

Take a bunch of citizens, destroy their engagement as voters over generations, keep their political knowledge on both local and international stages at the lowest level possible, then have the internet happen.

Generally you get two things: a massive increase in knowledge, critical thinking ability and empathy or hexbear.

Taleya ,

Generation grew up on with us or against us, then purity poisoned themselves into insanity

Taleya ,

Why did the cops have to defend them. Free speech applies to government censorship, not pissed off neighbours

Taleya ,

How the fuck they haven’t been slapped with an anticompetitive is beyon - oohh right. End stage capitalism

Taleya ,

I mean his fucking great uncle literally wined and dined with Hitler, there’s so much juicier shit if you wanted to go that route

Taleya ,

I wasn’t even a metallica fan but i started downloading tracks in the days of yore just to delete them out of spite

Taleya ,

Convinced that napster was stealing all his moneys and pretty much cemented the idea that people pirating things means you’ve lost BILLIONS OF REVENUE as opposed to an indicator that you’ve got a supply chain or pricing problem.

What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?

Maybe they're used to various shortcuts in their writing that they picked up before autocorrect became common, but these habits are too idiosyncratic for autocorrect to handle properly. However, that doesn't explain the emails I've had to decipher that were typed on desktop keyboards. Has anyone else younger than 45 or so felt similarly frustrated with geriatrics' messages?

@asklemmy

Taleya ,

Gonna need some examples methinks. But the tendency to overuse ellipses is right tf up there

Taleya ,

…go on

Taleya , (edited )

Assuming you’re under 45, this won’t make sense, because you’ve never experienced a world

Nah. 45 is '78/'79. You can easily run up to '85 on the analogue migration

Taleya ,

Too blind to tell the difference on a phone keyboard, too vain to wear glasses / update prescription

Taleya ,

That’s an incredibly bad faith reading.

Anyone younger than 45 is going to have greater digital exposure and be more adept at electronic communication. The older you are, the less likely you are to be frustrated with how geriatrics communicate because the more familiar pre-digital communication styles will be to you.

Taleya ,

Mate, i’m 46. I literally see this day in and day out

Taleya ,

We all think we’re in the worst timeline, but have you considered we’re in the funniest? From an outside perspective

Taleya ,

I can understand it from a very basic level of ‘simple first’ but if you’re doing human trial s you should be on a complex level already

Taleya ,

Polaris.

Yes i am old

Taleya ,

Depends on how you define genius. If you expect high intellectual definitions, no. If you’re talking a specific uncanny ability, yes. The dude has a way of getting to you.

The fact you reduced him to a ‘pulp writer’ is rather a tell, to which i say ‘let them fuckin’ trees fall’

Taleya ,

Kubrik is an arsehole who literally destroyed duvall’s psyche. For a fucking movie. I don’t respect him.

Taleya ,

Agree on both - pratchett is amazing, but many of his key insights are almost reserved for wham lines or comedic bits (see: rude mechanicals, colon & nobby) as he focuses on plot or - as you said - the bigger picture. Interestingly enough this doesn’t happen in the Johnny books and is severely downgraded in the bromeliad and good omens.

King has humans humaning about having things happen to them

Taleya ,

Yup. Mozilla’s brilliant this way, it’s how i’ve migrated my seamonkey mail for decades

Side of bed debate - Which side is left?

Which side of the bed is the left side? Is the answer based on the perspective of laying in the bed (person’s head at the head end)? Is the answer based on viewing it from the foot of the bed, looking at the head of the bed? Is there an “anatomical position” or special terminology like in boating for this?...

Taleya ,

Stand at the base.

Face the head

Taleya ,

Yeah that’s what happens when you throw your engineers out for business majors at a tech company

Taleya ,

Shaved my arse crack for a fiddy

Taleya ,

My personal faves are the claims that the cybermen are ripping off the borg and that Pratchett’s Unseen University is a hogwarts copy.

Taleya ,

Why is the funnel in his arse. Why was that artistic choice made.

Taleya ,

Clearly ascribing to ‘a hole’s a hole’

Taleya ,

Ah yes, Sausage Sunday. I remember it well

Taleya ,

So you’re saying you, a windows 11 user on five computers running Microsoft’s default preferred configuration don’t receive any nagware notifications for deviating from Microsoft’s preferred configuration? Fascinating

Taleya ,

Because cost of living hikes mean no one has any fucking money any more?

Application of increased flame hastens the bacterial destruction
