Back in the 80s my grandmother had a cat. Her neighbors at the time had some very feral and aggressive dogs in their back yard. One day her cat got out of the house, and those dogs escaped their fence and tore her cat to shreds.

The next day she mixed up some antifreeze meatballs and tossed them over the fence.

The neighbors never knew what killed their dogs.

I am groot.

I personally say “o one” “o two” etc. all the way up to “o nine” After that it just seems weird to say “ten” or “eleven” instead of “twenty ten”

Even referring to 1910 as “ten” seems weird and wrong, though. In my mind, it doesn’t make sense to leave the nineteen off until the 40s. For example, saying: “Back in forty-five” sounds right, but “Back in thirty-five” sounds wrong to me for some reason.

The big players will likely continue to develop this tech. “The Bubble” is more about the marketing and speculative investing in anything with “AI” tacked onto it. There’s no reality where everything AI is being ham fisted into is going to be successful. There will be some winners, but there will be a lot of losers when the bubble bursts.

In the meantime, we have to put up with every company and product marketing that they now have “AI” in their product, whether it’s actually useful or different from it was before.

My friends screen record the video and send that because I refuse to click tiktok links. I still don’t watch them.

I looked this up a while back. Felons in NY can vote as long as they aren’t currently incarcerated.

I personally have no issue with swearing. I do it quite a lot. However I’ve got a pretty good filter for when it’s not appropriate, like around kids, or in many professional settings.

From reading your other posts about this it seems you are a nurse and dropped an f bomb while checking on a patient’s wound care.

To me, that seems like a pretty clear situation where it’s inappropriate to swear. It’s unprofessional and bad bedside manner from a medical professional. If I were a patient and heard my nurse drop an f bomb while working on me, I’d be quite alarmed.

I suspect your fellow nurses are not mad at you because they are too sensitive about swearing, but rather they consider your outburst to have been unprofessional, and the fact that you refuse to acknowledge that, apologize, and promise to work on it in the future is what has them upset with you.

Right now, this is what I am telling myself. Let’s just hope he is only as bad as he was the first go around, and not as bad as he has been claiming he will be on the campaign trail. He is the lyingest sack of shit to ever hold office. Let’s cross our fingers he was lying about most of the shit he promised his cult.

Does anyone else have issues loading articles on linuxiac? Every time I open a link to an article there CPU usage spikes like crazy, firefox bogs down, and gives me a wait or kill page dialog.

It’s important to think about the time scale that evolution works on. These changes happened very slowly 50,000+ years ago.

The regions near the equator where people still tend to be lighter skinned have been in contact with and interbreeding with lighter skinned people for thousands of years, plus many migrations and invasions.over the past 10,000 years.

Agreed. Automotive repair is a big exception to my video tutorial hatred. It just makes more sense as it’s something being worked on in 3 dimensions. It would probably work well for home improvement stuff as well.

I watch a ton of YouTube. I love it for entertainment and some news. I absolutely hate YouTube for tutorials or guides though. If I’m trying to figure out how to fix a computer issue, I just want to read about it and have screenshots I can look at. I don’t want to have to constantly pause a damn video or scroll back and forth to find info.

As far as tiktok style videos go I just hate everything about them. I hate the auto play, I hate the vertical aspect ratio, I hate the stupid auto voiceovers, I hate the dumb floating captions and comments overlay, I hate the lack of volume adjustment or the ability to pause and rewind or seek. I hate the types of brainrot content that people make to work the algorithm. I hate that the format has infested YouTube and IG with no real way to be rid of it.

My problem with tiktok/reels/shorts is not that they aren’t federated. It’s the entire format/concept I hate.

You nailed my experience. Though AIM was preferred. I begrudgingly used MSN too for a couple people who weren’t allowed to install AIM.

As many have mentioned the real reason is to suppress votes by making the experience miserable.

The cover story for the rules is to prevent campaigns or other groups from “buying votes” by giving people in line food/water in exchange for a promise to vote for their candidate.

You should give Vivaldi a try for a customizable browser. It has tons of functional customization, perhaps less cosmetic stuff than GX though.

As far as search engines go, I got nothing. I am fairly agnostic about them. If one isn’t giving me the desired results, I just try others.

I don’t mind simple static ads on websites as a way to keep them free to use. The reason I use an ad blocker is because websites use ads that flash, play video/audio, and dynamically resize causing the text you are trying to read to jump around and change, making the site unusable. Even with an adblocker, sometimes the only way to use those sites is with reader mode. I disable the adblocker on sites that display reasonable, mostly static advertising. People putting in the work to make the content deserve to eat.
