Funks your brother check it out now.

It houses your brain and absorbers impact… What’s strange about that?

mechoman444 ,

Man. That sounds like a fun build.

I consider this kinda like the wild West era of computer building. There wasn’t a lot of standardization like there is now and you really have to know how to handle the software because the support wasn’t really there.

My childhood! Though I was more of a MechWarrior 2 guy.

It was around 2000 when I helped my parents build a computer from a shop in town. It was an AMD k6 with 512mb of ram and a voodoo3. I used that computer for years and years.

mechoman444 ,

In that case I will freshly issue a demand for Putin to surrender to Ukrainian forces step down and face trial for war crimes.

We should do this for literally all people getting jobs: former waffle House line cook gets job at amazon sorting center.

Ahhh. Nothing like a little slav jank!

My screen doesn’t even support it… But I’m also a cheapskate.

These idiots are the most adolescent childish racists ever.

This is the equivalent of a 10th grader typing 80085 into the school calculator!

mechoman444 ,

I mean I did preface by calling them idiots!

mechoman444 ,

So people are tired of paying 60 to 90k for an f150 or a Dodge ram? You don’t say!

mechoman444 ,

It’s not even that spicy!

We live in a sad world when this kind of thing keeps happening.

Missing mother found dead inside 16-foot-long python after it swallowed her whole in Indonesia (www.cbsnews.com)

A woman has been found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in central Indonesia, a local official said Saturday, marking at least the fifth person to be devoured by a python in the country since 2017....

Cool. New fear unlocked.

I’ve been researching wine and proton for Linux. Fuck windows! The only reason I still use it is for gaming but if wine works as advertised I’ll be switching to Linux.

mechoman444 ,

My mother does this. She asserts a random made up statement as fact and immediately believes it to be true.

It’s infuriating! She has no actual evidence to back any of it up! Not even circumstantial evidence.

I thought this was a destiny meme for a second, just played through the Final Shape.

Lol Russia sending the equivalent of a dingy to sink in an intimidating manner.

There’s a whole series on YouTube about how China fakes everything.

Windows 10 isn’t popular. It’s just that windows 11 is crap in comparison. Release an OS that isn’t predicated on what’s good for ad revenue and Microsoft’s bottom line and everyone will upgrade.

HOW CAN I DELETE SOMETHING I DON’T HAVE!!!

Screams in existential crisis

I’m reading this as “8 people have half of all the money in the world” is that correct?

mechoman444 ,

This makes sense. Yes. And yes.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t use Firefox. Actually back in highschool I used IE around 2002ish but only because I didn’t know any better back then.

The world has a tendency to ignore genocides that include mostly brown people killing eachother off.

Point and case: the genocide in the old Yugoslavian block was front page news. Rwanda on the other hand barely a blip.

mechoman444 ,

If you don’t accept my freedom, I’m going to force it on you!

mechoman444 ,

Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, several conflicts were ongoing globally. Significant among them were:

  1. Syrian Civil War - A devastating conflict since 2011 involving multiple factions and foreign interventions.
  2. Yemeni Civil War - Starting in 2014, this war involves the Houthi rebels and the internationally recognized government, with significant Saudi and Iranian involvement.
  3. Afghanistan Conflict - The long-standing conflict saw a significant shift with the Taliban’s return to power in 2021 following the U.S. withdrawal.
  4. Ethiopian Tigray War - A brutal conflict beginning in 2020 between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front.
  5. Libyan Civil War - A multifaceted conflict ongoing since 2014 between various factions vying for control of the country.

These conflicts have caused significant humanitarian crises and geopolitical tensions, impacting millions of lives.

Although all of these had some kind of coverage in the news, the invasion of Ukraine completely shadowed all of these by a significant margin. Also take note that every single conflict listed above is from non-majority white countries fought by non-majority white combatants.

The genocide in Rwanda of course had some coverage but not remotely is provident as the genocide in Yugoslavia.

I’m not trying to be racial or anything like that. This is just the pattern that we see consistently in stuff like this. Military engagement in predominantly white countries has better coverage than in military engagements and predominantly non-white countries.

mechoman444 ,

Several conflicts and humanitarian crises in predominantly non-white majority countries have been overshadowed by events in predominantly white majority countries. Examples include:

  1. Rwandan Genocide (1994): Despite the mass slaughter of the Tutsi population by the Hutu majority, the international community and media were slow to respond and provide comprehensive coverage. The genocide claimed approximately 800,000 lives in just 100 days.
  2. Darfur Conflict (2003-present): The genocide in Darfur, Sudan, has seen the systematic killing, displacement, and starvation of the non-Arab population by government forces and allied militias. Despite its scale and brutality, it has often been eclipsed by other international events.
  3. Democratic Republic of Congo Conflicts (1996-present): The series of wars and ongoing conflicts in the DRC have resulted in millions of deaths, primarily due to violence, disease, and starvation. These conflicts have received sporadic and often insufficient coverage compared to conflicts in Europe or the Middle East.
  4. Yemeni Civil War (2014-present): Despite being one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, the war in Yemen has not received consistent media attention. The conflict has led to widespread famine and suffering, exacerbated by the blockade and bombing campaign led by Saudi Arabia.
  5. Ethiopian Tigray War (2020-present): The conflict in the Tigray region of Ethiopia has resulted in significant civilian casualties and displacement. While it has been reported, it has not garnered the same level of media attention as conflicts in Europe or other Western-centric issues.

These examples highlight a troubling trend in global news coverage, where atrocities in non-white majority regions are often underreported, leading to a lack of international awareness and delayed action.

mechoman444 ,

Because it is.

It’s better than googling.

mechoman444 ,

This is true. Luckily all the information above is verifiable.

I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.

Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate...

Then you’ll love his game.

Tumblr is the poster child for terrible ideas on how to run an internet business.

mechoman444 ,

After they got rid of all the porn they last a vast majority of their traffic. Now they’re basically a Taylor Swift fan club catering to a very small but dedicated fan base barely enough to keep the lights on.

They are husk of their former self.

mechoman444 ,

God cast out the fallen angel from heaven and placed him in charge of hell so Lucifer could continue to spread evil around the world. God is the reason evil exists in this world.

Any being godlike or otherwise that can cast somebody that they supposedly love into a place like hell is an inherently evil being.

More atrocities have been committed in the name of God than to anything else on the face of this planet to this very day.

The idea of a jadeo-Christian God is single-handedly the most destructive Force humanity has ever created.

mechoman444 ,

It is highly likely that this person is an idiot.

mechoman444 ,

Everyone brace yourself! The Christians are looking for Bible quotes right now!

mechoman444 ,

My heart goes out to the parents of this horrible tragedy and they deserve compensation for their torment.

But this just feels like a sleazy law firm looking for a quick settlement by exploiting the emotional turmoil this horrible event has caused.

mechoman444 ,

They’re not intentionally targeting the mentally ill to sell them guns so they can perform crimes with them.

What’s happening is this mentally ill person was searching things, the algorithm caught on and sent them advertisements to persuade them to purchase more of the things he was looking at.

The algorithm doesn’t really care what it is as long as it qualifies in whatever marketing parameters they have.

Did the algorithm persuade or affect the person’s actions and promoted the crimes that they committed. Probably not. Do these predatory marketing firms have some kind of accountability? They probably do.

But not for the reasons that you think.

mechoman444 ,

And I’m telling you that the algorithm isn’t causing this.

The underlying root cause of these things have nothing to do with marketing or any algorithm that any marketing firm employs.

The underlying issues are mental illness and a lack of mental health Care in America Not to mention the basically suggestions we have for gun control instead of laws.

Marketing firms cannot and should not be held accountable for people freely using the internet or any other service that also have mental illness

The relevant conundrum is that they should regardless take some kind of responsibility for this Even if they have no liability.

The fact that you are even talking about stuff like this even if it is out of ignorance and probably naivety is that you are detracting from the underlying issues causing these things to occur in the first place.

This whole thing is nothing more than a frivolous lawsuit specifically designed to make a little bit of profit from a settlement preying on the grief and torment of people who lost a child in that terrible shooting.

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

mechoman444 ,

Yes. Correct. A person made accusations and those accusations were exaggerated by cowboy journalism in part by gamer Nexus and various other YouTube channels.

They are most definitely being definite. And if they were to agree to some kind of out of court settlement with a nondisclosure agreement it wouldn’t be made public.

mechoman444 ,

Good luck and we’re all counting on you.

mechoman444 ,

They’re trying to compete with open AI which they shouldn’t be… They’re a marketing firm with a search engine.

mechoman444 ,

Well, they won’t kill you right away… They’ll toy with you for a while then kill you.

mechoman444 ,

Lol you mean Putin is calm and collected now?

mechoman444 ,

VMware is owned by broadcom now so…

mechoman444 ,

Are those the same severe consequences that Putin keeps talking about if the Ukrainians keep fighting back?
