This is actually a very valid take, and I didn’t think of it this way. Man, what a complicated landscape AI has made. Pandora’s box certainly has been opened.

Weird. Monthly updates used to be pretty harmless with a bunch of little bug fixes that really only affected a few people. Then AI came out, and in the past 6 months or so every patch Tuesday has been a complete disaster. It’s almost as if they laid off a bunch of engineers and now have the remaining ones just vibe coding shit while using the same LLM to do code review and everything is going to hell. Not that it was a phenomenal product to begin with, but when you have engineers vibe coding patches for such a delecate platform, it’s going to end in disaster.

Project K2, baby!

/s if it wasn’t obvious.

A container of raspberries costs like $8 and the cost to produce them is $0. They grow on bushes for free.

Thats if you ignore all of the other things that go into land, labor, planning, growing, harvesting, cleaning, packaging, and shipping. Just like this article did.

Let’s start a new TikTok trend: McDonald’s Tokenmaxxing.

Except somebody else needs to start it because I don’t and never will have TikTok

And if you don’t have a Steamdeck or other handheld, there is no shortage of 3rd party indie titles on the Switch. It’s pretty great for those.

DARE told so many lies. I was told that if I smoked weed, it would ruin my life and I would become a helpless drug addict. Then I smoked weed and that didn’t happen. Then they got me thinking “what else did they lie to me about?”.

Is there a way to this with like a MAC address instead of an IP? Allowing specific devices (my parents have a Firestick that they travel with) would be pretty ideal.

I recall he was actually somewhat progressive at first, but then he had a stroke and suffered brain damage and is now a republican. Go figure.

It’s pronounced ketch-up

I used to work IT in a hospital, and you would be surprised how many medical devices still run Windows 7 or even XP. Offline devices, of course. And behind locked doors. But stuff for scopes etc.

They are? Could you explain? Because I was under the impression they were synonymous.

The most recent one followed the anti-soda and anti-sugar trend. Hard Seltzer, as far as the eye can see. I feel like it’s on the way out though. What will they think of next!?

They said the dystopian part out loud.

I love to shit on middle management as much as anybody else, but good managers are great. My manager worked his way up as a systems architect. He’s incredibly smart, very friendly, and always has my back.

What getting rid of middle management does is build a solid wall between the workers and the upper class. There’s no corporate ladder to climb. If you start at the bottom, you stay at the bottom. The people on top hire their buddies and other people in their class. This is like a drone strike on the shrinking middle class.

Totally thought the last line was going to be:

“for this phone to flop”

Either way, good poem.

Never seen that in the USwith dogs, but I have seen it with cats. Sometimes an area will just have a cat that will bop around the neighborhood begging for food. A bar I frequented in my 20s had an outdoor seating area and I always enjoyed when the neighborhood cat swung by for a visit.

I’m actually in the market fow new wipers and I’ve been using RainX for well over a dacade. Maybe it’s time to try a new brand. My last set of Rain X blades started to leave streaks after like 6 months (could have been the really bad winter - lots of ice and salt). Not horrible streaks, they aren’t a safety concern, but little imperfections really bother me. I’m very particular about my windshield cleanliness.

Yeah this is one of those ones like:

She’s not wrong, but also, she can get bent.

It does however set a precedent for other celebrities and people going forward so I’m kinda with her on this one. If there’s one person who can make a stink about this and have it matter, it’s probably her.

It would have been better if it was one of the likeable celebrities. Like Keanu Reeves.

But I guess you take what you can get.

Where my Smart Launcher crew at? Usually you guys show up when it’s time to shit on Nova.

Anyway, if you like the features an ease-of-use of Nova, and you are looking for an alternative, Smart Launcher all day. A played with so many of the other launchers mentioned in this thread before I found SL, and it really feels like the best to me. But that’s just like, my opinion, man.
