Or how about you just stop buying from that cancerous blight on our society altogether?

You can’t convince me that isn’t Trump Jr.

This shit sucks so fucking bad. I’m being radicalized against Israel from my living room on the order side of the world. If I were there you could bet that I’d be itching to join some kind of resistance.

I’m a senior software dev that uses AI to help me with my job daily. There are endless tools in the software world all with their own instructions on how to use them. Often they have issues and the solutions aren’t included in those instructions. It used to be that I had to go hunt down any references to the problem I was having though online forums in the hopes that somebody else figured out how to solve the issue but now I can ask AI and it generally gives me the answer I’m looking for.

If I had AI when I was still learning core engineering concepts I think shortcutting the learning process could be detrimental but now I just need to know how to get X done specifically with Y this one time and probably never again.

In theory, the election cycle acts as that mechanism and they’d fail to get reelected. However, a combination of the 2-party-system and general voters’ apathy when it comes to politics means that in the vast majority of cases an incumbent just needs to slap a D or R next to their name and they’re in office for as long as they want.

Generally, I believe the convenience of cheap shit delivered to your door comes at the invisible cost of exploitative labor practices and/or excessive consumerism by the means of low quality crap that will need to be replaced regularly or through “buy more and save” deals. If you want to avoid supporting that, you’re probably going to have to spend a few extra bucks buying from a smaller business or buying secondhand.

Convenience isn’t free and if we want to reduce our dependence on harmful institutions we’re going to have to make some sacrifices.

Easy fix, don’t buy from Amazon.

While the whole situation is shitty, I find it hard to believe a massive company would shut down services for 12 hours, losing millions in revenue and likely millions of users, all as a PR stunt for a foreign leader.

Finally free from the Golden Handcuffs, I’d use my extra time to do something I’ve always wanted, like music production, which would also inevitably be taken over by AI.

This country makes me sick to my stomach. What a fucking joke.

Dumb take. The “fans” have been polarized for a long time, as is the case with literally everything else on the internet these days. Some people just love to hate Naughty Dog and they were going to have a negative reaction no matter what.

My partner and I joke that they’re the BMWs of electric vehicles. I once saw a 1-star review on an Electrify America station by a Tesla driver who was freaking out about the station not being compatible with their car and whining about how it should be because Teslas are the most common EVs on the road and how they’re never going to patronize Electrify America again. Meanwhile, there’s a Tesla charging station just a few blocks away that has at least a dozen available spots whereas the Electrify America stations only have four.

Twist: They’re alive. And they’re angry. Choose your weapon.

Faux News is a helluva drug

Mango Mussolini

That’s fucking brilliant

I’m definitely migrating to Linux at some point before then

FedEx is amazingly bad

I think Tesla could also be a company driving positive change if he wasn’t cutting costs and pushing stupid products

It’s great as essentially a StackOverflow that I can talk to in real time. But as with SO, I’ve still got to figure out what pieces are legit and where they go.

TilTok likely got my car stolen (Hyundai vulnerability trended on TikTok)
