Well, if Apple is getting a new CEO then Microsoft should go all in and hire Xzibit to sell copilot.

Yeeep, this right here.

I’m a nerd and software engineer, sitting in front of 4 screens right now. I own a smart watch which I wore 23 hours a day for years on end.

I stopped wearing it several months ago and I literally do not know where it is right now. I assume it’s in my house somewhere. 🤷‍♂️

The greedy shits that run the tech world have taken it too far. The switch flipped in my brain and I just do no care about tech “products” any more. If it connects to the internet or has a screen then it’s almost guaranteed to be designed in a way that goes against my best interests.

Yeah, I’m a straight married bearded husky white guy who has taken up carpentry as a hobby, and I have no interest in being part of that industry. I have a relative who is a trumper plumber and the culture fits him perfectly, lol.

One step at a time, man. It’s not exactly a guarantee that prices get back under FOUR dollars a gallon in 2026 first.

Super Mario Bros (NES) to Mario 64: 11 years.

It was pretty wild growing up while Moore’s Law was full steam ahead.

I can think of 3 different PCs I built and overclocked during college. Now, my everyday use computer is 8 years old and it’s still pretty dang good.

Yeah I have. It’s bonkers, but it is also indicative of our culture. sadly. That’s why I made a joke comparing the government’s exploitation and mistreatment of military members with the rest of the economy’s exploitation and mistreatment of all the other normal people. In both cases, the people in power are choosing “number goes up a little bit faster than before” over “human life and well being” repeatedly.

She’s not my type either, but I always thought she was super attractive.

Yeah, how can the richest country in the world with the biggest military budget do this shit to the people they really depend on?

Just look at the private sector in contrast. This country mints more billionaires than anywhere else while treating workers AND customers like shit and-- oh wait.

This reminds me of the similar map of names for soft drinks. You have your soda vs coke, but I live in one of the “pop” regions which is admittedly a larger area than these little “bubbler” enclaves.

I mostly switched over to “soda” once I went to college though. A nationwide and international assortment of group members will encourage that.

There’s a parallel here with that saying about how unions are the alternative to the workers burning down the factory owner’s house. And that’s before we get into the non-financial evils you mentioned.

“Linux ISOs” would stop being the obvious legal use of p2p!

That’s the seasoning.

It’s never spicy enough until you sprinkle enough around!

At least it will improve the quality of those interactions, and probably be good for the people themselves.

Many people seem to think that some of the good options our awesome technology provides is the ability to not only avoid doing certain work or avoid learning things, but to avoid using basic senses and interacting with the world we exist in.

Maybe think of it as a collective forced touch grass moment, lol.

It sounds nice to be one of the chosen ones!

Another day, another action by the Trumpstein administration who somehow seems to be reveling in their own untouchable corruption while also plausibly being forced to do so by foreign actors with their kompromat.

I’m genuinely glad to hear you say that.

My country may well have more men who agree it’s touching, since this place is huge, but I’m sure the percentage of men who agree is far lower.

You may have heard we have some slight imperfections in our culture over here. ;)
