Dude, Sounds like you were old enough to understand that almost burning down your school intentionally, multiple times, was bad. Bullies or not. I’m not sure why you’re taken aback by someone thinking a little arsonist in training isn’t a good kid.

Hopefully you’re less of a piece of shit now

I never intentionally destroyed expensive electronics to “try to impress” anyone in real life, let alone online (although that didn’t quite exist yet).

So, yeah, I’m sure.

I don’t get it. I was never this stupid as a kid.

Edit: thank you for explaining to me that many of you were that stupid. I guess I never hung around any of you.

I have many issues with the gamer deference to the steam monopoly… But they don’t partake in this particular abuse: taking a cut from the dev for all in game purchases. They only take a (sizeable) cut for the initial game purchase.

Nah. They changed the game. It didn’t used to be like that. You bought a physical copy, you owned that copy. Now they’ve added some bullshit “it’s actually a lease and we can review access at any time we want, fuck consumer” language. Stop defending this nonsense.

All that anti repair garbage going in, also. And game console Companies suing you for modifying your own machine.

Accessing content I paid for isn’t pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven’t

This only makes sense if they are counting intellisense auto complete as “AI written”

Even buying physical media, they claim you still don’t own the content, are only leasing it. It’s all bullshit to charge more and give us less. Stop defending this practice of eroding consumer rights

Sounds like it’s centralized around Linus…

It’s not even new stuff. Last I had looked (a couple years ago) it would show me friendss posts from last week with no sign of anything new, and I knew they had posted newer things than that. It was completely unusable. I’d see the same stale old posts for days

I’ve never seen any of these articles explain what this means. How is generative AI “using up” water. When a search uses a liter or whatever of water, what is happening to this water?

Every time that happens, a little more water is burned and a little more carbon is released.

This is just nonsense that makes me think the author doesn’t know either.

Water is often used in cooling servers. But it’s contained and reused. It doesn’t go anywhere, it’s the vehicle to move heat from the servers to wherever else. In a pipe. In a closed loop. All these doomsday AI articles act like water is being lost permanently due to the use of these servers. Even if the water was escaping the closed system…did no one pay attention to the water cycle unit in grade school?!

Why do you even care? Some of them still have living relatives who came from the old country.

Because they’re both predominantly Catholic communities…

No one is claiming a nationality. They’re claiming an ethnicity, a heritage. You being hung up on this distinction is on you. Not the people you go out of your way to misinterpret.

Yeah, it often involves being Catholic and having massive families

Well Yeah, it’s that important.

So the exact same reason they tried to ban tiktok…

It also costs a few million just to fly him to maralago. Each time. Plus charging secret service for the rooms they stay in at his properties. He’s just funneling taxpayer dollars into his own pocket.

There’s one in the white house. Why don’t they seem to care about that one?
