OpenAI marketing > MIT analysis, apparently

Had someone unironically suggest that if Trump takes a third term that it would open the way for Obama to run again.

Anyone citing the old order of rules, laws, and fairness is delusional or under informed.

The temu tacti-gear is a nice touch. Can’t even SS properly.

Shout out to Bosch… I have a 10-year old dishwasher from them and the drain pump stopped working. It was so easy to replace and readily available. I was actually happy to have it break, all told.

A lot of enshitification has happened in the last decade so no idea if their products are still like that, but when the time comes to get a new one I’ll certainly be giving them my first look.

If they had a secret/method/process they’d use it to get rich instead of fleecing people.

the impression I get from the media

I think this is the issue the OP is trying to point out. There are many more silent, responsible gun owners than nuts.

They say every gun enthusiast has their scenario they’re planning for: home invasion, civil war, post apocalypse/disaster, mass shooting event, mugging, etc. When I think about what my scenario might be there isn’t a single one where I don’t end up dead, with or without a weapon. There is no number of weapons or amount of ammunition that would change that for me.

I struggle with that reality when I think about my own relationship with guns, but I can’t help thinking that “prepared” is better than “helpless”, even if the outcome is the same.

And Google doesn’t?

They both value their customers. But in the case of Google, that’s not you.

Time. A regime as dysfunctional as this can’t go on indefinitely… Like, it is physically impossible for it to think far enough ahead for it to be resilient enough to last. Unfortunately, a lot of good people will suffer before then.

Question didn’t say “wife”. Presumably, she’s safe on the shore waiting for you to choose. So, girlfriend or mom?

I love the dramatic dilemma posed by having to decide whether to save the woman you love (girlfriend) and by doing so revealing your affair and destroying your marriage, or living with the fact that you let your girlfriend drown to save he embarrassment of revealing your infidelity. Fun extra spin on the trolley problem.

I think that those who would tolerate the additional “effort” of solving the puzzle of joining Lemmy have already done so. Reddit may drive more people away but unless Lemmy becomes somehow more accessible there won’t be an influx, IMO.

That said, I think it is a good thing. I know I don’t want Lemmy to be a clone of Reddit. I like the smaller communities and the higher quality interactions I get with Lemmy users. The Reddit “circle jerk” meta was fun but got tiresome and felt like it was spiraling to a lowest common denominator.

Not sure why you’re getting down voted… These things are true. Maybe amended to “way too complex for most people to easily understand” would be less controversial.

The vast majority of people’s relationship with technology ends with an email address and a credit card. Here on Lemmy there tends to be a more sophisticated understanding of social media and the underlying social and technical aspects. But the idea that you have to do anything more than decide to join something and at most you need an email and a credit card would be a significant barrier to entry for most.

What’s the fee for late forms? Or, more likely, late payments? Another way to squeeze a few bucks from poor people?

This is the hardest thing in a house with multiple people. Especially young people who are active and have no problem with weight. I can only do so much when I control one quarter of the food strategy. And the coupe of times I’ve brought it up to my spouse it is like I am attacking them, which is it’s own problem, I know.

You’re my hero and I will be seeking your guidance in the post-apocalypse.

No, plumbing supplies of all ridiculous things.

Most frustrating one I came across recently was between the shopping cart and the payment screens. Are you fucking kidding me? I want to give you my money. I’m about to pay you. That’s why you exist. And you put three fucking captchas between me and the “buy” button? Fuck you.

And disabled by default. You’re not consumer friendly until it is opt-in.

Hemorrhoids.

I’m hearing a lot about zero trust infrastructure lately and I wonder if this is the reason - the desire to eliminate VPNs. I honestly don’t know enough about IT to know if that even makes sense but it wouldn’t surprise me if these big corpos see the writing on the wall and are figuring out how to work sans VPN.
