I wonder if his mates will forever call him “Tin Man”.

If only there was some other kind of biological computer that already existed… hmmmm….

Can I run Doom on the flight computers inside flight simulator?

My friend wants to know if it can generate VR videos too?

Get you, you part timer. /s

The stage where you just have to refactor the entire app just a little bit.

My dumb ass: “Is it just 1.5m Germans, or other heights too?”

640kb? Luxury.

He’s right to be worried. People might start believing in spurious nonsense.

That’s human output surely?

Pro tip from someone who’s been driving manual for 30+ years: the throttle isn’t a switch. You can just press it a bit. You don’t need to redline every shift.

Did the American technology giants think they had the monopoly on capturing human input too?

I find the best way to avoid driving aids from kicking in is to not drive like a knobhead on the roads.

Fuck, I’ve become my dad.

That 3hp can be a handful, right?

Ah you pussies. Come on, show them you’re serious. Go dark again. Show them you really mean it and do the rest of the territories too. Forever.

Thanks for the reply, I genuinely enjoyed reading it and seeing the perspective of someone more educated in language than I. Yes, I do expect better of all media as they should be upholding a better formal standard. Why? I guess I don’t really know, maybe that’s another of my old fashioned expectations.

Yes I appreciate that language evolves but for me “cringe” and other modernisms aren’t exciting, it’s another step in dumbing down that erodes the cardinality of conveyed meanings.

It’s like being taught to drive and then saying “fuck it, I’ll ignore all of those rules and just do what I want because that’s the modern way”. And yes, those fuckers exist too.

It’s like not closing drawers, or not tidying up after yourself. It’s not cool new evolution, it’s just lazy self-centredness.

/old man rant. Get off my lawn.

A dictionary represents modern usage, it doesn’t make it less ignominious to use it 8 times in one article.

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in”

— someone called Greek Proverb.

It’s the exact opposite of these fuckers.

Also:

Ffs Guardian. It’s cringeworthy, or at a push cringey, or embarrassing, or awkward.

I fucking hate “cringe” used as an adjective (or whatever it is).

/rant

And I agree. There’s a screen for visual notifications and vibrations for tactile ones. Making unnecessary noise in public is rude and arrogant.
