I want wires everywhere I don’t care fuck wireless signals give me wired headphones, controllers, networks

Me and my homies hate antennas

While I agree older generations are always complaining about the habits of newers ones, always dooming everything, and that progress is good and unavoidable…

…I honestly do think we should sometimes sit down and re-evaluate if older habits have a place and if their criticism can bring some truth. I’ve been moving away from the hyper-connected and convenient modernity we live in and adopting older habits like writing my notes with paper and pen, under a candle light, and it’s honestly been fantastic for me, just as an example.

Monkey’s paw curls. Wish granted: you will live for 10 to the power of 107 years, you’ll outlive every living and non living being, you’ll transcend mortal understanding, you’ll play with the flow of entropy - to see birth and death, hot and cold, to feel the final, guttering pulse of the last black hole as it surrenders its hoarded information to the void.

And you’ll have a little popcorn kernel stuck between your gum and a tooth during this entire time.

Halo is long dead. The brand name is the one thing left.

Let’s collectively fund an island where we can host Signal, Tor nodes and ThePirateBay in international waters.

There are classical, “best of all time”, titles that an anime lover like you would defintely enjoy. They’re not available on Crunchyroll, they’re not on Amazon Prime, Netflix, you can’t purchase a copy. A few had selected censored releases in VHS, good luck hunting them down.

The thing with piracy is that it’s not just a money saving trick used by teenagers, it’s also the only way to truly watch the media you enjoy regardless of what some media conglomerate thinks - they no longer get to define how, when and what you’re going to watch. You have to do a bit of setup once… yes that sucks, but from that point onwards, you’re free.

Sociologists love making that claim, but it’s not true.

A long childhood followed by extremely experimental puberty is indeed a biological feature of our species.

There have been societies that suppressed childhood due to labor needs, but that came after many more had thrived respecting it.

Modern childhood is indeed new… Compared to western European tradition, not to our species as a whole.

I’ll just sigh and move on, not worth getting stressed out over a dumb reply online

Ah yes, great analogy. My computer with the operating system I installed and the files I own and want to modify certainly is the same as going to some strangers apartment and trying to buy it.

We don’t want to invade the privacy of… the software… right?

I don’t understand why society accepted that the hardware maker gets to decide what software you run.

That’d be like your car deciding which roads you can take, or your blender deciding you’re not allowed to use strawberries in your smoothie.

Are you nuts? Why the fuck would your phone decide which apps you can run?

The first public demo of Siri back when the iPhone 4S launched is more impressive than most AI commercials.

AI is getting billions in investment. Every single company out there is pushing employees to use it. Most brands have OKRs of shoving AI into their services.

And yet a chat box, removing objects in pictures or generating mediocre images is all they ever achieve.

Nobody goes beyond that. It’s always the same as ChatGPT but with a modified system prompt. It’s always image generation. Oh look we spent half of the quarter’s budget but now our website displays an AI generated summary on top of the already easy to read information!

Which to me is irrefutable proof that AI is a useless money sink. Every company out there battling to grab your attention with AI, billions of dollars, market pressure and it’s still useless?

Wouldn’t really matter in a federated network like this. Mods banned you from a community? Make a new one. Account banned? Move to another instance.

There’s zero reason to feel attached to online accounts like these, which is the only thing you can lose on Lemmy.

Don’t worry, I wrote a program that can find the answer for you. It’s been running for a while though…

Maybe somebody could come up with a program to determine if my program will halt or continue forever?

I use a dedicated MP3 player and a large FLAC library.

I use MusicBee, running on Wine, to listen and synchronize automatically.

I don’t believe in subscriptions, and therefore won’t pay for one: no music streaming, no Netflix, no Game Pass, no Adobe.
