I grew up with a Nintendo controller in hand.

There’s a very good reason I now game almost exclusively on PC. None of this is going to convince me to come back. Quite the opposite in fact.

Cause consumers let them.

Why do consumers let them? It’s just step one of enshittification : first, be nice to your customers until they become dependent on you and you’re the only game in town…

OG had three CD’s, three major acts, across a pretty epic journey. Breaking it up into three parts is really not that surprising.

Personally, I love the expanded development of characters like Jessie.

Weird how the end stage of capitalism is really just a strange two tiered form of the kind of communism everyone was told to fear. So much for actually owning anything.

Open the tv and rip out the antenna. Y’all already forgot the classic secret agent trope of checking the hotel room for bugs? Now we all get to play that game!

There are other benefits of NAT, besides address range. Putting devices behind a NAT is hugely beneficial for privacy and security.

By insisting on perfect, you are preventing incremental change.

Here in Canada, I find the prices pretty neck and neck. Small items tend to be a bit cheaper at the stores, since there is very little overhead for them to carry small items compared to Amazon’s picking and delivery logistics. Big items tend to be a bit cheaper on Amazon. For tech specifically, Best Buy price matches items, so it’s not that bad… Memory express and CC sometimes have lower prices than Amazon too (see PCPartPicker).

The main reason to use Amazon is you can easily find some really obscure stuff. Then again, you can buy direct from manufacturer, like Vevor, for often cheaper.

Is a corner with an angle of 180 degrees a corner? If yes, then all shapes have infinite corners and infinite edges.

As a human ISO8601 is great. Ambiguity is far far worse, than having to read out a date aloud in an order any other than the order it is habitually spoken.

Mhm. There’s two very good reason unrealized gains aren’t taxed: volatility and cash flow. Are you and the government expected to swap cash back and forth everyday to correct for changes in the market? No that’s silly. Should people go into debt because they don’t have the cash to pay the taxes of a baseball card they happen to own that is suddenly worth millions? Also silly.

For that same reason, using unrealized gains as security is dangerous, just like the subprime loans market was!

Did anyone stop to ask themselves if we even would want to watch AI videos?

Of course not.

I, and I suspect many other people, watch YouTube for the people in the videos and their experiences (or at least the illusion of that). Watching fake videos defeats the whole purpose.

YouAITube sounds like nothing more than a kaleidoscope with extra steps.

That’s what happens when you aren’t the (sole) paying customer.

All worth it so lord Musk can push his shitty memes to remote tribes in the Amazon.

I think anyone familiar with the laws of thermodynamics could have predicted this outcome.

Uh, it’s a brick shelf made out of books.

Before I understood Docker, I used to have HA installed directly on bare metal side by side with other “desktop” apps.

To be able to access devices, HA needs many different OS-level configurations (users, startup, binding serial ports, and much more I don’t have a clue about). It was a giant mess. The bare OS configuration was polluted with HA configurations. Worse, on updating HA, not only did these configurations change, the installation of HA changed enough that every update would break HA and even the bare OS would break in some ways because of configuration conflicts.

Could this be managed properly through long term migration? Yeah, probably, but this is probably a ton of work, for which a purpose-built solution already exists: Docker. Between that and the extra layer of security afforded by dedicating an OS to HA (bare metal or virtualized), discouraging the installation of HA in a non-dedicated environment was a no brainer.

If it’s such a problem, maybe we just collectively move on to ES or TypeScript nomenclature?

1 can be solved with regulation or nationalization. Services online should be public services. Like school, police, roads. You can still have private alternatives too.

As though CAPTACHA’s are that effective, and Joe Blow is personally responsible for the rise of AI.

Here’s a better idea for a movie: Sarah Connor kicks the teeth in of tech billionaire bros at Open AI, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA. And Elon too of course, fuck that creep.
