Always looking for penpals!


As a guy who’s cleaned far too many smoker fucked PCs.
99% Isopropyl and a tooth brush is what you need. It won’t be fast, but you need that kinda precision and attention to make sure you got everything.
You might also consider just replacing any fans. I don’t know if you have a laptop or a desktop, but a laptop fan is a bitch to clean


Oh was the ice cream machine broke? I hear he gets mad about that


Only ones who dissapointed me were Star Trek: Voyager actors. Its the only thing I got attached to as a kid.
Robert Beltran - Commander Chakotay
Roxann Dawson - B’Elanna Torres
Both transphobes and trump supporters who won’t shut up about no one wanting to invite them to Star Trek stuff anymore.
I used to feel bad for Rob because he got such a shit treatment in ST:V in terms of writing and because his character fell victim to Jamake High water’s grifting (look him up if you want to see why 90’s native american characters kinda suck).


Seems he’s just an asshole about being famous. Doesn’t like being recognized in public.
TBH, I don’t blame him. I’ll take it over everyone else in this thread.


Behind on the lore.
What did Shaq do other than nearly every ad in the world? I can accept being a sell out for car insurance but anything egregious?


From the inside he looks like a republican.
But that’s how its been for a while. This years Dem is last decades Rep.


I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.
Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.
All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.
My save files are cloud synced for free.
I as the end user am having a good time.
I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.
They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).
Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.
This only works on others computers.
If the wizard themselves experience a minor irritating tech issue, then it stays permanently and forces the wizard to use a convoluted work around instead of asking another wizard for help (this would fix it)


Yeah I think we should bring back exposure honestly.


LLMs are actually just massively improved spell checks. If you’ve used an IDE with in line error detection, technically that’s AI now.
I do wish we’ve drawn the line more clearly on what “AI” usage means in terms of “this game was made with AI”


Oh man, Teams +Outlook + Office 365 + onedrive +Copilot?
So good for office shit. So bad for hood practices.
“Hey copilot I’m pretty sure I got an email asking if I had an SOP on X. Can you find that email and the SOP?”
“Copilot, using the recording of the teams meeting ‘Training from Vendor X’ and my notes on ‘Tool Y’ can you compile that into a FAQ sheet for us?”
Sure it misses stuff and is only so good because none of the data is private, but man that’s 90% of my work load for SOP making. Worth the $400 a year corporate pays for it.


Exactly what I was thinking.
Trump probably saw he was popular AND I’m sure Mamdani said polite things to the guy, and now were here.


We go to a buffet by the lake.
Its honestly really nice not having to Cook, but it does feel quintessentially american to make someone else do it.


Another one I didn’t know is gay.
Props to msm for not making it a big deal


Odd way to learn altman is gay.
Kinda shocked I’ve never seen a “worlds richest gay man!” Headline. That feels like low hanging fru-


I just want busses. That tears up nothing.
I just want bollards protecting pedestrian and bike traffic. That tears up nothing.
I want passenger trains between cities where there’s already railing. That tears up nothing.
Is this honestly a bigger ask than a decade long rebuild of an interstate that will need another widening in 5 years after?


I actually said they’re a net negative and I stand by that.
Lithium mining, their fixed short life spans, and the problems of car focused cities as a whole are not addressed by going all EV. Marginally better than combustion? Sure. I’ll give you that.
But ultimately its manufacturing and the lack of repair ability make it bad over all.


That’s true. I’m young ish and fully vaccinated so I’ve got a lot of years on humans from most of history.
Yeah that’s what’s going to happen with the main blog.

This separate idea is to have a Lemmy instance to host pictures and federate the blogs comment system so people ideally won’t have to sign in or make an account to comment.
