My bad I shouldnt have assumed they were intelligent adults with personal responsibility and agency. I guess if someone offers to pay you then you are completely absolved of any moral responsibility.

Nobody was forced. They all gleefully built it.

Think of the worst companies. Now think of who built them. Think of the most authoritarian government surveillance and think who built it.

wtf go join a casual band. Practicing for 15 years for something you never use seems wild.

You got to keep honing this skill it seems important for human biodiversity.

Surely you whip this out on halloween or in a dark alley way

You would be getting burned in the witch trials. Witch laugh + weird snake jaw and im convinced you probably are a witch

A clip on mic + mixing is like 95% as good as a condenser mic with a pop filter but if you’re sitting down in a studio you may as well use a condernser mic with a pop filter so you can get good quality sound.

I like the idea but you’ll never ever get me feeling sorry for laid off tech workers after how they’ve behaved the last 20 years absolutely disgusting. Now we are suppose to support them building the same shit again yeah I wonder how that goes.

But why clean room and public docs? the cat is out of the bag you can blatantly steal now. AI companies have done this and all these big tech companies use AI code. If you have concerns just host the code out of US jurisdiction. Make them fight the case of AI replication.

Depends on the type. Hunting pests like rabbits possums pigs, inseason game like ducks, pheasant and deer is all great. I dont like hunting rare endangered animals or helicopter hunting with a machine gun except if its a pest culling like feral pigs.

For the activity I really enjoy it. Its a great outdoor activity to do with friends and family. I like getting up early and heading out across the paddocks in the crisp morning and seeing the sun come out. I dont like butchering because im pretty odd about textures and smells but i’ll do it when i have to. I dont find it to be inhumane at all.

Good question. Lots of interesting answers here.

Physically im not as fit as I’d like. I want to look like a roider but I dont want to roid. My ideal build is the guy in the gas mask leaning on the gate. I’d like to be someone who dresses nice and puts effort into looking good but I’m just not that guy no matter how much I want to be.

Organisation wise I’m significantly behind. I want to on top of everything, having a plan for the next 6 months buying gifts ahead of time, making lunch for work every day. But I’m battling to get the rubbish out each week and missing any event I’m not directly reminded about. I cant plan to save my life I cant even follow cooking instructions.

Mentally im close to where i want to be. I’m generally pretty content which is my biggest problem I don’t feel the need to go do uncomfortable things. People say im smart but they have low/no expertise so its not satisfying they don’t that im far away from where i want to be. One day I’d like to be at the point where someone i lookup to is impressed with my work.

It’s a hard question because i have no idea how others view me. It’s hard for me to understand others. all I can do is put my thoughts in their body and then evaluate myself only using what i know they know. When people speak of me it’s a completely unrecognisable person to me.

Keep working, reduce consumption of luxuries. I will still spend money, probably more than during good times. Because its important to keep spending so demand doesnt implode. I’ll keep spending at my favourite restaurants, cafes and clubs because i want them to survive. My cost cutting will be on electronics and subscription services and things from overseas.

The revenue growth of these companies is insanity.

I wouldnt even try. I’d rather write letters. You can achieve the same thing by putting what you want on the USB drive and on upgrade day you go to your friends house and socialise and if you need to transfer a file or share a funny meme you plug in your USB and do that.

Give what back? Nothing was taken from people trying to live their lives. This stealing is of datacenter gear.

The only country that might do that is the us. There are many western capitalists happy to buy from a competitive global market.

Oh yeah I know its very broken at the moment. There a mix of my family submitting bad requests and my request handling being really bad thats causing the product to not be “polished”

I dont know if its still going on but the Lindsey Clancy trial. I think she killed her kids and some people are using it to hate women and some are using it to hate men. I dont know why people are so invested. All I need to know was that its undisputed that she killed them and therefore she can be locked away. However the court chooses to do it jail or mental hospital doesnt matter to me.

Folders for apps.I hate and can’t get rid of. Screens for everything else. Android 10 Samsung has this horrible feature where every new app gets created on a new page at the end instead of filling the empty space on my previous 3 screens.

I’m massively regretting not using tailscale
