I thought Luigi was the one with ghost gun

”until”

you want us to take to the skies

Lol you think you’re getting one?

This is the result of two decades of deliberate, calculated effort by the largest technology companies on earth to turn users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos.

Has there ever been a time when computer geeks weren’t consider a weird group of outsiders?

BTW, I was raised on MS-DOS and it didn’t help my computer literacy one bit (heheh). I still can barely navigate my computer in the CLI, much less build anything or do anything cool from some internalized “mental model” of how a computer works. Meanwhile, there are a bunch of toddlers running around with Arduinos and doing all manners of mind blowing shit.

“Please laugh”

Meant to be a watched talk though, not an article – some of the original tone is prpbably missing in the transcript.

The dude literally has a 100 trillion dollars, it’s fine

Good link!

It is more fucked that the exploitation is targeted at kids, but it also really mirrors the general scammyness of the online economy at large (i.e. a gold rush with a few winners making it big and millions working for free hoping they’ll eventually tap in to a big ore that’ll make the platform rich and pay them a pittance).

Oil has been kinda shit though because of really low oil prices for a long time, evilness not withstanding.

Doesn’t look like a game for me, but appreciate your quality post.

Lol is this an actual ”feature”? Can’t tell anymore.

A lot of people considered the vagueness — eg not having a WFH manual – of the setup a gift and didn’t want to stare a gift horse in the mouth. Irresponsible, IMO, but not my problem any more.

This was a pet peave for me as a union rep during the pandemic. Our workplace introduced a WFH on a “voluntary” basis scheme over night with no commitments from the employer. Meanwhile the employer cancelled leases for office spaces. In effect, the employer saved a bunch of money on the backs (homes turned into free workspaces) of the employees while giving nothing in return. People working from home got no promise they’d get to keep doing it, people who had to come in to the office had to deal with a lack of space.

Not a single union colleague wanted to talk about this, never mind raise it with the employer. Reaping: sowing.

Things people miss:

• IT not yelling at you for going rogue and UNINSTALLING EVERYTHING
• Being able to access company resources
• Having a job

If their Windows machine is company issued, that is.

Sounds more like an admission that there is something that needs jailbreaking in the first place

People are buying takeout on credit. Pushing small recurring fees (and interest) for things consumers can’t afford to buy outright has sort of been the name of the game for the consumer economy for the last 20 years or so.

Maybe more interesting that there is enough of an overstock to do this.

These link only clickbait posts irk me a little. First of all, I’m not going to take the bait. Second, I’m not going to use your ”privacy tool” without understanding it’s upside and having a tentative grasp of what it does and what data it uses. Third, I’m not convinced there are any best practices, privacy-wise, for using blatantly statesponsored Chinese spyware or that there’s any helping you if you’re still on X.

Reading this comment is a great litmus test. If you think that sounds dumb and nothing at all like a brilliant master plan, you are not part of the world’s financial elite.

Thanks, just had my ass handed to me by you :D

It’s fun, maybe make sure to feature articles related to the Wiki resources used so that my random guesses can result in some learning?

Some pictures are very hard (obviously), maybe find a way to have different “levels”?

To me, it would also be fun with more trivia oriented photos (landmarks, famous things in museums) but that would of course move away from the geography theme a bit.

Yea I can understand having a pretty set comfort range, climatewise. If that were my situation, I would be dead set on living in a walkable place in California. I walk and bike from -25 C to 35 C (~0–90 F) and will just put on raingear if needed, that’s freedom for me.
