You don’t need an app for that, just replace ‘www’ with ‘old’ in the URL.

PfFt. Amateur level stuff!

And that’s not the limit, either.

Gas for the motorcycle, and ride. Maybe $10 for gas and $5 for a coffee somewhere.

Nobody cares anymore.

As frustrating as this may be, it’s even more frustrating when I see exactly the same thing among PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!

directory structure and basic text editing are foreign concepts to them. If it’s not in their IDE, they really don’t understand it.

Also, 90% of them are hunt-and-peck two finger typists.

Really?

The PDF contains the information. The screenshot contains a picture of the information.

It’s a tree vs. a picture of a tree. A recording vs. a live performance.

Bullshit.

This whole endeavour is looking like a careful plan to implement a smaller, slightly less horrible idea in Win11, and then creep forward from there.

Remember the model to move the goal line, folks:

• Overreach
• Capitulate publicly and fall back to your true target
• Repeat

Best of all, these large steps can be supplemented by nudging things forward with ‘adjusttments.’

I wish we could really press the main point here: Google is willfully foisting their LLM on the public, and presenting it as a useful tool. It is not, which makes them guilty of neglicence and fraud.

Pichai needs to end up in jail and Google broken up into at least ten companies.

Morrowind was bundled with a video card I got, and thought I’d at least try it. I had no idea what it was or how it worked, and I fell headfirst into it. WEEKS thrown at it, and I never got bored.

After that, Oblivion was a letdown for me and I didn’t get very far into it. Skyrim was great fun, but the lore was clearly secondary. (I eventually went back to Oblivion and found it a better story than Skyrim, but Morrowind is still the best.)

In no order…

• Grim Fandango
• Psychonauts (I and II combined)
• Fallout New Vegas
• Morrowind
• Portal (I and II combined)
• Thief (1-3 combined)
• Civilization II
• Space Invaders
• Falcon series (F3 and 4.0)
• The Pandora Directive

And some bonus games to add to the mix, because there are too many amazing games in the world.

• The Longest Journey/Dreamfall
• Red Dead Redemption II
• Mass Effect

EDIT Also

• Pac Man
• Quake II

This is only a problem if you present the AI as an effective general-purpose tool. Which Google has.

So maybe we start suing google for harmful answers.

I think I’d disagree with this.

For a while, there was a sense among the robber baron class that loyalty to employees would pay off with loyalty returned. Consider industrialists building towns for their employees and families, complete with schools and arenas.

Regardless of how cynical the reasoning may have been, the result was a degree of mutual loyalty and job security.

‘Job security’ has been a myth for more than half a century. A career for mostnpeople is nothing more than a job that you’re enmeshed in, and can’t easily leave if you want to.

I fought with Broadcom’s shitty website for hours, but finally have Workstation Pro, in which I will test my workflows in Linux.

Games and Lightroom will be a challenge, but I’m going to avoid Win11 at all costs.

How is this not fraud?

It’s a simple question. They are deliberately misleading and lying to customers for unlawful corporate gain.

I love KeepassXC, but I use Keepass2android on my phone. Do you know how it compares to KeepassDX?

For me, it’s this subset of vegans:

Me: want a burger? V: No thanks, I’m vegan. Me: Oh, cool. Well there’s egg and cheese in the salad dressing so you’ll want to avoid that too, but I have some black bean patties in the freezer if you want. V: Do you know how bad meat is for your body? Me: Yeah I actually do, but we all make our own decisions about self-harm, don’t we? V: Factory farms are cruel and sadistic! Me: Agreed. That’s why I buy from a local butcher. V: RAISING MEAT IS DESTROYING THE PLANET! Me: Corporations are destroying the planet. Now fuck off and let me enjoy my burger in peace.

Only if FB wants there to be.

(And they don’t. They’ve actively courted extremists since leaving campus.)

Every one of my IT colleagues over about 35 is an absolute luddite. No IoT, no smart appliances, and a hardened firewall for everything that needs access. Location tracking and biometrics disabled on our phones, no cloud services, etc.
