I’ve said this or similar several times before but I’m too lazy to dig through my comment history and link it. Nobody (or almost nobody) in the government is under the illusion that the polygraph is a magic mind-reading device that can dete

> Uber is economical, too One time I took an Uber to work because my car broke down and was in the shop and the Uber driver (somewhat pointedly) made a comment that I must be really rich to commute to work via Uber because Ubers are so e

Known Linux detractor, been sticking with Windows for years because I’ve had one too many ‘apt-get update’ brick my entire system. Decided to try out Bazzite specifically because of the immutable root partition thing. Overall I will say thi

A political speech to address constituents is public, and is not the same importance as a random posting online. Also, I’m under no illusion that my comments are anything but digital detritus, but at least comments here have the potential t

“We’re all unique and special, just like everyone else” (Some of the stickers are kind of cool, but I just can’t understand the logic behind thinking your MacBook #12,372 with a Python sticker on the back is worth flaunting online)

It’s not that hard to see? 1. The president promotes a false narrative that the election was stolen. Media makes sure every single person in America gets coverage of this 24/7. 2. A protest happens with potential for violence. 3. Presi

This is some absolutely insane character assassination, you should be ashamed of yourself for spreading lies and FUD like this. No sane reasonable person would make the jump from “certain statements made me uncomfortable” to “I support a ra

This automatically assumes that 1. The people being blamed actually did something wrong and thus want to hide it 2. Everyone is optimizing for likes and branding all the time 3. Someone being blamed for being a creep automatically knows the

I have no idea how you think “ they probably could have” sounds any better, or how it makes your argument stronger at all. If we can apply AI to these situations but shouldn’t, why even bother with your first comments?

I’ve only ever read three self-help books but they were profoundly useless. All three could have been a two-page blog post of dubious advice. Never buying a self-help book again. If that’s what therapy LLMs are training on I hate the idea e

Seems pretty obvious to me that if this passes, big game companies will either re-label all new releases as “subscriptions” and/or just never make a single-player game again. And mostly nothing will change. If you don’t like companies
