“Hey God! Remember to warm up the brimstone for this one!” 🙏

Technically valid but extremely rich coming from a US state of all places.

Safe to say they’re not against spying in general.

If you’re an average American, the spying Iowa allows and embraces put you in far graver danger than spying by China who doesn’t give a shit about you or what you have to say about them. America, as we’ve seen, cares slightly more about what Americans say than China does.

I’d stay clear of Temu mainly because it’s a shitty platform replete with blatant scams and you risk losing your money. Go to an actually reputable Chinese site if you want to buy from one, or don’t if you don’t.

Also don’t buy cloud/app enabled cameras if you give a shit about privacy. From anywhere, period, because doing so guarantees you’ll be spied on by someone, China or otherwise. Roll your own local network camera system with hardware and software you control or get ones that only record to local storage with no smart features.

Can we skip to the part of the movie when the US gets its kneecaps broken in an alley while the mob boss stands over it and screams “WHERE’S MY MONEY?!”

There’s too much pointless filler in this plot.

Incidentally, I must also be paid to use Windows.

I’ll gladly wait for the Node.js start menu to render on company time 👍

“AI I need you to help me out of bed and feed me”

“Sorry, I can’t help you with that. Would you like me to rattle off your neighbour’s race, personal beliefs, and medical and criminal history instead?”

“Actually, yeah. I did need to move and eat today but random gossip about random people is just as good. Thanks AI and government regulators!”

Not like they were smart enough to actually make up a story out of the blue.

“Participation”

Yeah how dare they not participate after getting fired.

Two layers of “based on” in your OS is indeed a bit much.

Before reading: probably because someone randomly chose it for the template and it’s really hard to change it because old crotchety government institution

After reading:

The agency said elevator inspection certificates are all system-generated. Whatever is causing the font to change is happening on the technological backend, which means the city’s central IT department has the answer.

It appears the quirky font choice happened when the city migrated old software to different servers, according to Grant Ulrich, managing deputy commissioner at the Department of Buildings.

“If the font is not installed with this really old software, it picks the font with the next alphabetical name in the list of whatever fonts are available on that server,” Ulrich said. “So this was not a choice. It was a ‘find the next best option’ decision made by a computer.”

Somehow even worse. Also, love the not giving a shit of whoever printed them, I’d probably ignore it too depending on how little they paid me.

Infantino just sounds like a nickname for Trump.

GOOD

A guy went to adobe.com and told the truth. This is what happened to his organs.

Small loan of 80 billion dollars

A fool and their money are soon parted

Commodore as a brand has ruined every company that’s ever bought it. Cursed brand some say.

Wine would still be better though, especially if they have the source code. Can be used like a dependency to produce a Linux compatible package like how Java applications either bundle or depend on a JVM in the package manager.

Shouldn’t conflate the publishing of a health study with “telling” anyone what to do as an adult.

I stopped drinking entirely as soon as I discovered cannabis edibles. Thanks Canada! Wouldn’t personally “recommend” them or any other drug to anyone else but it seems to work okay for me.
