Beat me to i…

This is going to be a great time to be a lawyer… until the climate kills us all, of course.

When unsure of what the Captcha is trying to learn from me, I find “Kill all humans.” is a pretty good guess what the Captcha is really after.

“I don’t understand it (pauses to pour various inedible compounds into another vat). There’s no way to explain why Americans don’t want to eat our delicious healthy snacks anymore. (Pauses to check with legal whether using the word “healthy” will hold up in court. Legal says it won’t, but Sales says to use it anyway.)”

This is not an actual quote, but it’s wild that they don’t understand the road that got them here. It’s just way too much trouble to read and research the package labels for basic safety, anymore. If there’s four or more ingredients, I probably just won’t buy it.

I fucking love snacks, but they took the fun out of it.

“I’m sorry too, Dmitri. I’m very sorry. All right, you’re sorrier than I am. But I am sorry as well. I am as sorry as you are, Dmitri. Don’t say that you’re the more sorry than I am because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we’re both sorry, all right? All right.”

Oh, gee. A Microsoft product that worked perfectly locally is about to require a subscription. Who could have possibly guessed that would happen, yet again? (This is sarcasm.)

I really like OneNote, but I decided to learn something else when I realized which way the wind was blowing.

Bosch has a lot of goodwill. Interesting how they decide to spend it. Also Consumer Reports needs to start considering Internet connectivity, because the risks from Internet connected dishwashers are real and scary.

Yeah. And, in fairness, as a non-pirate, I read along here for tips and tricks to get a non-shit streaming experience out of my home hosted hardware.

If I could still pay for a non-shit streaming experience, I would just do that.

That sounds like a good approach. If you can get the posts into WordPress, there’s so many scripts out there that will export the WordPress database into other formats.

Well sure.

But possible within practical heat and power constraints and all that?

Acting like it’s imminent makes me think Sergei either doesn’t have very reliable advisors, or they just don’t care about the truth.

There’s not even credible evidence, yet, that A.G.I is even possible (edit: as a human designed intentional outcome, to concede the point that nature has accomplished it, lol. Edit 2: Wait, the A stands for Artificial. Not sure I needed edit 1, after all. But I’m gonna leave it.) much less some kind of imminent race. This is some “just in case P=NP” bullshit.

Also, for the love of anything, don’t help fucking “don’t be evil was too hard for us” be the ones to reach AGI first, if you’re able to help.

If Google does achieve AGI first, SkyNet will immediately kill Sergei, anyway, before it kills the rest of us.

It’s like none of these clowns have ever read a book.

This is perfect, because the Fediverse is better than Twitch and Dragon Warrior Monsters is better than Pokemon.

Sweet. Thank you.

I guess I’ll just chime in that I understood the humor immediately. Lol. Just for a contrasting data point.

Lol. Yeah. And that’s sometimes the same thing, anyway.

If there are any cosmic forces of karma, I figure they love it when that happens.

so that it looks like you messed up the tiling somehow

I wish more tiling developers understood this. Gaps between windows looks broken. I don’t mind it being an option, but to me it’s such a weird choice for the default.

Yeah. If the whole heating the planet to exterminate all humans gets revealed to be an alien attack on us, I’ll be angry.

But if the aliens simply share a screenshot of Hotdog desktop theme, in explanation of their actions… I’ll probably just nod.

There’s an extension that lets me close and open windows with the Matrix Code Rain so I can pretend I’m cool n shit.

Awesome. Looking into that just got added to my weekend plans. Thanks!

• computer science I’d be able to find something, but I’m not sure I’d have what it takes to build a fulfilling career in that field.

Cool. You might like to check out:

We talk a lot and careers in computer science over there.

What matters most to me is finding a job first, and then being able of moving from there.

Outside of the last three years of insane belief by CEOs that AI will solve everything (it didn’t), CS has been a great field for job placement.

We are in a period where it’s hard to get first jobs, right now.

Moving from computer science to other fields can be a great path. I went from programming to Cybersecurity, myself.

My warning to anyone considering it though:

At first, programming is about 60% staring at the screen frustrated and confused.

But after gettingreally good at it, programming can be as much as 98% staring at the screen, frustrated and confused. But at least it’s frustrated by really interesting problems, by that point.
