Preach! Wise words from the ancient philosopher space between the anus and the genitals.

You have to be really, really fast. But it can be done. I find that if you can accurately speak in dial up tones to your phone, you should be able to snap a photo while you’re communicating with it.

Midichlorians are the powerhouse of the Force.

Nope. We’ll have massive job losses as companies pivot away from billions invested into AI. Couple that with a significant Great Recession, we’re in for very very dark times when the bubble pops.

Reduce your spending, save as much money as you can, and prepare yourself.

I’m a slave to capitalism. I want to eat and not live in a box on a street.

I also like playing video games. Kind of hard to play video games if you live in a box on the street.

Hello,

I am out of office attending the AI Ignite conference, a wonderful engagement festival to showcase and highlight our industry’s AI value-add. If you’re driven and looking to accelerate and optimise your business, reply back and I can set up a lunch and learn.

Shrekislove posted some good advice, so I’ll add something here for you to evaluate based on what you said above.

“I hate Google so much… I’m just looking for my blindspots… Im not in tech”

Years ago I went all in and too fast on privacy. I’d recommend some guard rails as getting privacy is a journey. First you need to define what “privacy” is for you. Privacy is a spectrum. Only you can determine it based on your needs and wants, and you can do that by figuring out your threat model.

That old expression of tightening your grip and more things fall out applies here.

Think about your security and privacy. Think about what you’re willing to give up, and think about your relationships with others that can be impacted.

You can get recommendations and learn more about privacy by checking out privacyguides.org.

As for me? I’m basically at the point where I’m fatigued with big tech - especially smartphones. I’m waiting to see when GrapheneOS will reveal what new OEM they are working with, to determine if I’ll get another smartphone when my current one is too old. Else, my plan is to upgrade to a truly dumb 5g phone with hotspot. Then I’ll carry my Linux laptop with me and use that when I need the internet.

Best of luck! Don’t go too fast and evaluate everyone’s suggestions carefully. I don’t recommend just dropping the phone you got and going all in on buying a Pixel and installing GrapheneOS. That’s a drastic action to take suddenly since you’re still getting your feet wet on all this privacy stuff. You can improve privacy on your current phone, and then when you’re comfortable and if you decide you need the benefits of GrapheneOS, then look into upgrading in the future.

Was hoping the exec leadership team would call out the verbiage “align” and “synergise”, but failed to see it. Looks like a missed opportunity, so maybe they’ll put a pin in that to be implemented for the next sync with a plan of action to remediate this so we can stop the bleeding. Also, AI AI AI AI AI, and just to call out we need more AI.

Ever since he recently shit his pants on live TV, he’s noticed he’s been shitting himself more frequently every few hours. Given that his lucky staff had the pleasure of doing multiple diaper changes a day, he hasn’t had time to really focus on Greenland. I think he’s going to try some more ivermectin, or possibly, bringing some bleach into the body (almost like a cleaning?). His doctors are looking into that. But yes, he’ll get the poopy diaper thing under control at some point and then it’s back to Greenland.

Verified. I was able to use this to download an age restricted video just now.

Oh fuck you’re gonna make me

play Yoshi’s Woolly World (2015) on the Nintendo Wii U again.

“Nvidia has reportedly cancelled its OPP, a program intended to incentivise AIBs to sell its cards at MSRP.”

Ah, I see. Nvidia is no longer down with OPP.

Fucking buy the game already. It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

It’s worth full price. Very, very few games are worth the full price.

I’d buy this game again on Steam if I could.

Debating finally picking up Hellblade II since it’s 75% off. This holiday I’m planning on playing Hi-Fi RUSH so I might hold off since I’ll be busy with that game. The spouse and I are also considering playing Jedi Survivor (if it’s cheap enough and we’re happy picking up two copies) or Clair Obscur. With these games lined up, I’m on the fence for Hellblade and probably will wait.

I thought that was the intent of the reboot trilogy. At the end of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, she is hardened now and gets her second pistol. But I played that once back in 2018 so I don’t remember exactly how that game went with themes.

Doubt.

Proton export CLI utility takes 13 minutes.

Every few years I replay both Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

“They already have my information anyway.”

“Oh, what are they gonna do with my info? Who cares that I searched for X and Y? LOL.”

Me, a software engineer working for a major cSaaS provider that partners with other companies that specialise in Mobile Real User Monitoring, Open Telemetry, Bluetooth beacons, etc.: “Eh, no idea what they do with that info. Now let me just ignore all these non-anonymized analytics, spans, traces, and metrics that these companies capture about your devices and the health of their applications and infrastructure.”

I stopped bringing these things up years ago. Can’t explain this to persons who don’t care or are not remotely close to being tech savvy. Let them be content and enjoy the things they enjoy.
