We could spend the rest of our lives trying to make a search function less useful than what Microsoft puts in every single one of their apps. Fucking up a search bar is the new fucking up an instant messenger.

There ain’t enough of him to go around. Willing to negotiate sending a musk, hegseth, or thiel though.

IV/V Romans agree…

It’s funny because we keep pointing it out, and every fucking individual conservative shitslinger has had this lesson multiple times, and it never seems to stick.

Is it crab by phylogeny, or crab by anatomy?

I can feel every old laptop in my vicinity trembling in fear.

Don’t deny them that last chance to live a life of purpose.

Watch this and be not so sad…

In case you are paranoid from the thumbnail, no one gets even close to getting hurt, including the sharks.

Eh. Use an AI to make smaller AI models that have different combinations of personalities (this one acts like Elvis singing opera, this one mimics Einstein with a cowboy accent) and the create NFTs for the ownership of those personalities. Each one comes with it’s own bot-created twitter account, and it posts. The holder of the NFT gets any revenue the account generates.

Anyway, if you build this, send me a cut, I’d like to get rich from stupid people who would actually go nuts over this.

No I did find it weird. I also found it weird that my DMV has a 6 hr wait time, and I had other shit to do with my life. Plus, I don’t really buy cars all that frequently, so I’m not exactly sure what to expect when the reg gets flipped over. It’s not out of the question to assume that it was done online. I never even got temp plates, the dealership said it would be fine to use my old plates.

Plus, I can assure you that the technology to instantly alert if a car shows a registration for, let’s say a blue honda, but looks like a red ford

Ironically, I traded in my blue Honda for an orange Ford and drove it unregistered for almost an entire year and never got pulled over.

Dealership said the would handle switching the plates and registration, and didn’t do it. I only found out when I went to renew my reg.

That’s nothing. Go camping in Appalachian. Random banjo music suddenly hits way different.

I could be wrong, but I think that was what the convention was in the US at least.

Similar to how there is nothing “stopping” a web server from having a 192.168.x.x address, but we have a standard that blocks off those addresses to be used inside of your own network.

It’s been a while since I’ve had to do a game system setup on an old TV, (like damn near 20 years) but I think you used channel 3 because it was a channel reserved for local communications, so there would never be “TV” on that channel. Your VCR connected to the TV with a coax cable, and if you wanted to have “TV” plugged in at the same time, you either needed a TV with multiple coax inputs (I think it was common to have 2, one for VCR, and one for satellite/aerial antenna) or a coax splitter. Early on, those RCA plugs weren’t built into a lot of TVs, so you needed the VCR to inject that signal onto coax for the TV. Lots (if not most/all) VCRs would let you switch the channel used in the settings, I think mainly to cover other regions where channel 3 was not standardized.

Honestly, the way you become ungovernable is the same way the government becomes unaccountable to the people.

Passive hostility. Slow roll everything. Throw a wrench in every system you can. Stop at all stop signs and railroad tracks, and wait 3 seconds to confirm all other traffic has stopped. Make every request in writing, using snail mail, then call every day (or multiple times a day) to see if they got your requests. Demand everything communication to you is done in the slowest and most expensive way for them possible. File FOIA requests for everything. Cop pulls you over, take a while to find your license and registration. Become sludge, become a quagmire. Make anything and everything the government does to you a huge use of their time and effort. Embrace your inner old man “get off my lawn” energy.

TVs had channels?

I’m old enough to remember Saturday morning cartoons, but seriously, it feels like TVs don’t really have channels anymore, and instead just have thousands of shitty streaming apps.

Read the article. The answer is a very drawn out “no”.

Yep. Data center in space is about as dumb as an underwater bakery.

Indeed, but smaller structures are less likely to get hit in the first place, it’s a bit of a trade off.

Also, error correcting memory and storage are things, but at the end of the day, that is just more/larger structures, which is a roundabout way of saying you’re correct.

“Actually-not-thinking” is still overselling it. Computers don’t think. They compute, which is really just doing calculations, and that is not as complex as it sounds. I’ve seen people make water do calculations. The number of calculations and the speed they can be performed makes it seem like magic.
