Can’t it be both? All the worlds current biggest problems are caused by this techbro disruptive bullshit. Door dash and AI are from the same ecosystem.

Yep, I use Dr. Bronners for everything. Especially when camping, when it’s: hair, face & body, toothpaste, shaving cream, dish detergent, bug repellant, emergency lubricant (stuck stoves, tentpole, etc), laundry soap, and anything else I can find to use it for.

Sorry for the tired gif, but this is my exact reaction.

This shit drives me up a wall. The local, formerly awesome pizza place switched to DoorDash for delivery and it has sucked ever since. Pizza arrives cold since door dash drivers don’t have insulated bags, half the time they chuck it on the front porch and it sits there on the cold concrete even longer.

Delivery driver was always a reliable stoner job, I had so many friends in my youth who delivered pizza. Despite the cloud of weed smoke that came with the pizza, it was always hot and fast. They were motivated to get those tips after all.

I’m waiting for the inevitable hantavirus parties. Gotta make sure little Timmy earns his immunity!

It’s not that tiny, it’s at least 27%.

Lunch Discussions #145: The Crazification Factor

I bought my Bambu back when orca slicer and local network was out of the box supported. It was only a few months later that they locked out their firmware and started down this path.

I’ve been steadfastly refusing to update firmware. I hope to modify it someday but if not, I’ll just make sure it’s my last Bambu.

I’m m an Infrastructure architect and engineer, this is the same problem in enterprise. Cloud, SaaS, proprietary vendors, they all want to lock you. Time and place for all of it, but you’ve gotta know what you are getting yourself into.

What chance does the average, non-30 year veteran of industry have? It’s bad out there.

Nah, wasn’t “we” , it was “them” who sold us on a promise, but was really a leash, or muzzle. The “them” is the oligarchs, the billionaires, the epstein class…

Oh, I know, ai was trying to point out the insanity in a few words as possible. All the solutions and conveniences we are being sold are bullshit. They are sold as helpful but just make you hate the world.

I had an Apple Watch, the simplicity of not having to take out my phone was the draw, I could see my notifications quickly and easily. All it did though was create more distraction, more digital cruft to wade through and dismiss. I get more value out of the rubber band that I have on my wrist right now than I did the Apple Watch.

Goddamn, I am so tired of modern convenience. My god we have made shit complicated in the name of simplicity.

yes, work in progress actually…

With how fucking slow windows has gotten on my work PC with all the copilot bullshit, I’m pretty sure MS is doing the same thing. No proof, just a painfully slow machine after getting all the AI updates…

I hate having that machine in my house, on my network.

Somewhat different motivations though I’d say.

He’s only concerned because he knows his and his allies actions are so bad, one might say biblically bad, that he’s trying to control the narrative to look in another direction.

If this thread is any indication, we’re cooked. If this many people are willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt, after what we’re dealing with…

This will not be benign, it will seem innocent at first, but we’ll have given up yet another seemingly simple thing that will eventually be used against us.

boy, I wonder what palantir backdoors they definitely won’t have.

I mean, sorry if I misread your intentions, but your phrasing in such a thread in response to the OP appears to make a statement. You are also aware that the people cheerleading this war are echoing exactly what you said, in essentially the exact same words.

No need to be a dick.

Honestly, what makes us the world police? I don’t want protestors killed, but dropping bombs on schools is not the help they need.
