Discord circa 2018 was pretty much everything I’d want in a modern IRC.

If they can just bring that set of features, I’d switch back to IRC in a heartbeat.

That rules

I was full on ugly crying at the end of To The Moon.

The pathological need to find something to use LLMs for is so bizzare.

Venture capital dumped so much money into the tech without understanding the full scope of what it was capable of. Now they’re so in so deep that they desperately NEED to find something profitable it can do, otherwise they’ll lose the farm.

Honestly at this point we should stop offering Poppy seeds in normal goods. drug testing people in most cases.

It just reenforces the notion that drug use is a moral failing.

“There are some people who are participating in this trend … and haven’t read One Piece from the start,” he said.

Wow, anime fans really haven’t changed in the last 40 years, huh

Yeah, this is pretty much it.

Microsoft took over the computing world because they built a really good enterprise management toolset. Say what you will about their shitty business practices both in history and today, both AD and GPO are fucking incredible pieces of software. Microsoft Office and Exchange email are also pretty much the only game in town unless you want to jump to Google which is objectively worse.

Those tools meant that workplaces adopted Windows instead of Mac and Linux and slowly transitioned their Unix servers to Windows. Then people started getting PCs at home, and they didn’t want to learn a whole new OS. Guess what, Windows is also available for home use and does all the same things that your office PC does.

Now that Microsoft has the vast majority of the install base on PCs, it’s not economically viable to develop or troubleshoot software for the other platforms, as you’re putting in a ton of extra time for about 5% of users.

Until Linux can promise ~90% compatibility with all software and they can put out some kind of real competition to AD and GPO, people are going to take the path of least resistance and just get Windows.

Touhou is just Japan’s Homestuck. There is source material, but the vast majority of the content that people assume is canon comes from fanwork

If you have ice cream, I will give it to you.

If you have no ice cream, I will take it away from you.

This is an Ice Cream Koan.

This is Dunning Kruger in effect. You actually know way more than you think because you’re more aware of what you don’t know than a total beginner.

Also, as far as wanting to switch back goes, That’s a path of least resistance. For a multitude of reasons, stock Windows is simply easier to use than Linux for most people. Especially if you’re already used to Windows’ workflows and its particular quirks. And somewhat ironically, Linux is harder to adapt to if you’re a power user. Power users tend to use their PC for more things than a basic user does, and therefore need to configure more things to work properly.

By the way, I’m not throwing shade towards Canada specifically.

Please throw shade towards us. Our lack of action here was largely because we wanted to stay on good terms with the US, who made their position abundantly clear.

Our government calculated that there would be harm done to our country if the US decided to twist some economic screws. But then Trump was elected and it happened anyway and we look like patsies.

I would seriously doubt it, not because it’s impossible, but because it’s massively impractical.

It turns out that wireless charging is shockingly inefficient. The antennas you would need are way bigger than you could carry practically, and the amount of power you receive is very tiny compared to the amount of voltage you’re pushing through.

A YouTuber I like actually built a setup like this in a recent video.

Isn’t this basically what TOR and I2P are for?

This asshole has learned to claw at my back through the chair when he wants attention and it startles me every time.

Gendered bathrooms have always been stupid. Everybody poops, everybody pees, it’s good enough to just have a room where everyone can do that.

That’s already a thing

Absolutely, thats something you get with population centers, but I think they’re farther right politically than most major US citites.

Miami, maybe. But I think they’re still pretty left in comparison to the Rest of Florida

Almost certainly no. This is the gateway for “the algorithm” to start recommending pop science and science communicators, and from there, a seed will sprout for people to get interested in “real science”

A crate full of microSD cards shipped as cargo could deliver speeds like this with a ping time measured in hours
