Before I had access to the internet; These were basically my, ‘Don’t die, eat something easy’ list of relatively quick foods back in the darkest, deepest depression days (turns out my brain chemistry reacts horribly to antidepressants and antipsychotics). I was just an anxious dude that didn’t know it due to being heavily medicated.

That annoyed me with Windows too, however, Active Hours adjusted to the times that I actively used my PC. As I kept my PC up to date and never kept it running while not in use for too long, I’ve never been threatened with a forced restart randomly. That being said, a user should have full control over their PC. They will though in turn be responsible for any poor outcomes due to making poor decisions.

I ended up choosing a Linux distro over Windows because I have absolute control over my PC at all times. Freedom to modify, to potentially break, but also easily recover my distro if I truly fuck up.

I haven’t specifically seen anyone go off the rails when it comes to emoji usage on Lemmy; I can only comment on my particular feelings about emoji: Like any tool, emoji can be used in ways which are confusing. However, the value of these little images conveying additional context to written text is useful. There is so much of the personal voice which is lost with written words, unadorned with body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions. Emoji are like a written solution to this issue (for those that don’t pick up on context on words alone). I am fine with the usage of emoji.

Oof, yeah, Death By Appointment might be a better name as I couldn’t see them offering on the spot meat suit evacuation! It’s a process to get approval for getting a humane end to one’s medical suffering. They’d likely be too swamped to do it any other way.

The one on the right appeals to me more! I’d be so happy, personally.

I don’t mind the changes they are proposing for the Photos app; the current version annoys me as there is no way to sort photos by recent to older. For whatever reason, the oldest photos are on top while the most recent are in the bottom. It drives me mad, at the very least a proper chronological sorting option is very much appreciated. Everything else, I can adjust, since I don’t have a strong Apple Muscle Memory.

ROFL Way to sink a vessel sooner, CEOs are so ridiculous! I used to care, but now that I have no skin in the game; I just laugh. Or fight if they try to bring their bullshit to another platform.

We know he wasn’t as the ‘clean-up’ from the fallout caused by a supposed sarcastic remark is truly a secondary gaff. You were serious, couch fucker, and we know it. So go make sweet love to couches, you weirdo, and leave US citizens alone.

Argh, this is so infuriating! This needs to stop, we need proper protection against this bullshit. Clearly, the current way of doing things is insufficient. I can only hope that real change comes by actively fighting for it.

Beacon, a shining fur friend! He’s an adorable best boy ever, he has such a gentle demeanor that could likely soothe the most troubled of souls.

Same, I truly love to see these weirdos getting destroyed on TV. It won’t sway the cultists overmuch but general population will likely be, “I don’t wanna vote for that.”

If anything, this is a sign that Rachel Scott is highly employable to make that insecure orange wanker go off the rails! He’s a weirdo who desperate cultists want to get elected. Not worthy of being handled with kid gloves, grill his ass!

So freaking cute, I can’t contain the squee that wants to be let out!

They are being disruptive in a way that isn’t kind; arrests would be the best way to deal with them. They are white nationalists, shouting slurs at black people who are fellow citizens in the USA, we should not let them believe this behavior will go unpunished. It will make it worse in the future, enabling hate groups to thrive is something a sane country should never allow.

Yep, as regulation is surely coming because LLM development is such a Wild West Situation. Any scummy, dumpster fire Corpos will certainly put a rush on acquiring enough training data to make artists useless to them in the future. These mind blind, money-grubbing bastards are actively chasing that quick buck before it comes crashing down on them. Grab the bag and don’t get beat up with that regulation ruler!

There are already some fuckwits (Apple, Anthropic, Nvidia, Salesforce) who actively scrapped content from YouTube titles and videos; data laundering that stolen content, but if you prompt their AI just right, you can see the direct influence the stolen data has on whatever the LLM generates. Reference Article It’s a gross practice that needs to be regulated and punished quickly because these corporations need regulation to be arm wrestled into barely acting civil.

Oh how surprising, corporations need to be slapped around a bit. They’ve grown too bold. 😬

ROFL what an amateur; one the one hand it is sad that this slimy alt-right Silicon Valley can’t even do the bare minimum to deflect negative attention from former president Trump. On the otherhand, I’m ready for all the tea that will be spilt throughout this campaign! As this will hurt Trump in a big way and I truly want to see Kamala Harris win! Trump, that demagogue is deeply undeserving of holding a political office; his presidency, criminal acts, and his speech that incited the failed Jan 6 Insurrection are proof enough that felon needs to be put in a padded cell.

I would love to see this kind of repurposing of properties to be far more common! Malls tend to be fairly central, so they make ideal locations for being nearby everything a person could need in a residential setting.

Oh, the poor little fascist doesn’t like being shat on like he rightly deserves. ROFL, he should go back to couch-san for some more one on one time.

To your credit, in retrospect, it’s a mighty fine satirical comment. However, it depended on non-speed reading silly sausages like myself to actually grasp immediately. I feel that I’ve grown too used the writing of The Onion, who’s distinctive style that makes a ‘this is satire’ light turn on in my mind. I’m actually laughing about it now, but, still feel a bit disappointed in myself at the moment.
