I sorry I opened my mouth. I swear I'll never do this ever again. Please PLEASE forgive me.

I didn't mean any of this. I am so sorry. Please forgive me and flag this for deletion.

I am wrong. Please flag so this can be deleted.

I can't delete this comment. I am really sorry. I didn't mean to say any of this. Please flag these comments. I am so stupid.

I disagree. When she announced her candidacy she largely had the election in her pocket. Had she run the same campaign for longer her support would have just been even lower. The only reason Biden stepped down was because the ruling class in the DNC made the call. The party voters were very vocally against him the whole way.

I'm a bit confused why you think republicans would toss aside a winning candidate. The party is laser focused on winning. That seems to be sadly a major difference. The DNC seems overly concerned being as milquetoast as possible and to simply assume a moral high ground.

This doesn't seem based in reality. You don't go from majority support for you running to less than that and blame the other side. There are demonstrable actions and events that have a distinct link to her downward popularity.

When examining why someone lost you generally don't insinuate that the loser did everything right and the other side are just bad people and that's why they won. That's a recipe for learning nothing and repeating the same mistake over and over again. Which unfortunately seems to be the national policy position.

As a more general point, 2024 saw many establishment governments switch across the world. My hypothesis is that many people around the world were still craving a pre pandemic lifestyle and world. And that was expressed as anger at the current government regardless of how they handled covid and the aftermath. Others have brought up specific issues but I think there is some connective tissue for people across the world because amount of similar sentiment from different cultures. There is no silver bullet though. Multiple events, policies, and statements factor into a major election win or loss.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that it either treats any battery connection like the stock battery or it fails over to a run like crap mode like third party batteries in their phones.

I was wondering. I had heard chardet story and wouldn't be surprised to see others moving into that same space.

Unprotected MongoDB, tables without password, data in plain text. It's a textbook example of doing absolutely everything wrong.

We created programming languages to direct programs. Then created LLM's to use English to direct programs. Now we've create programming languages to direct LLM's. What is old is new again!

This definitely seems a little odd. Very convenient time to slap a "and they are pro-Iran" label on it.

It's a lot of coincidences falling to place at the same time. Which is very suspicious. And doesn't seem to be well supported outside government agencies or controlled organizations like CBS either. Does feel like someone is jingling the keys.

This seems like an overcorrection. There is a vast difference between someone copy and pasting from an LLM and using one to correct their English or improve their writing ability.

Rules like this seem to me more like fomenting witch hunting of "AI comments" than it is about improving the dialogue. Just about any place I've seen take this hardline stance doesn't improve, it just becomes filled with more people who want to want to pat each other on the back about how bad AI is.

Just my two cents. I don't filter my comments through any AI, but I am empathetic for people who might have great use of them to connect them to the conversation.

Today on Least Shocking News.

That's the key part in all this. Reviewing PR needs to be a rock solid process that can catch errors. Human or AI generated.

This was not on my bingo card. Meta really is just throwing money at anything AI.

I definitely have a soft spot for these first MacBook designs. The plastic wasn't very good, but they looked so cool compared to most of the competition. Plus the introduction of x86 was really exciting.

The game happening at the same time is just distraction central too.

This is super cool. Never played UO myself, but had friends who did. I'll be keeping an eye on this as someone interested in the private MMO server community. Hope others can contribute and build this up even more.

I've seen this view applied to things like TikTok and Instagram. Especially with the recent lawsuit. But then when to comes to addressing it most people seem to flip completely and bemoan parenting and internet freedom. It just ends up in a circular pattern of "this is awful, but we shouldn't do anything about it. These companies are poisoning kids, but any attempts to rectify that are infringing on my right to the internet." Makes a lot of conversations around this topic feel entirely pointless.

This just seems like virtue signaling. It's not a plan or proposed actions. Just a puff piece about how great things used to be. Not sure who is making their opinions based on what System76 has to say, but I guess they can now.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to have a full size address area AND a full size vertical bar at the same time needs to find their way to the door. On desktops and large laptops it's not a major problem, but smaller displays it's wasting so much space.

This design feels very generic though. Doesn't really stand out from any other modern browser.

Same with drug addicts. However an accessible and affordable system gives off ramps in moments of lucidity or desperation. Most people in moments of extreme self assurance are in an ephemeral state and that will eventually change. Untreated mental illness is rarely consistent. That's what can make it dangerous to the person experiencing it and those around them.

Just stuff anyone with mental illness into an institution. That worked out so well last time. Or maybe make healthcare affordable and accessible. That seems like a way more obvious detriment to negative outcomes.

I broadly agree with you, but your views on mental illness are not good.

Any mental illness mixed with delusions is likely going to end badly. Whether they think Gemini is alive, a video game is real life or that Bjork loves them without ever talking to or meeting them. While LLM's are interactive and listening to an album isn't I don't think there is a fix to this outside posting a warning after every prompt "I am not a real person, if you have mental issues please contact your doctor of emergency services." Which I think is about as useful as a sign in a casino next to the cash out counter that says if you have a problem call this number.

I'm more inclined to believe that this case is getting amplified in MSM because it fits an agenda. Like the people who got hurt using black market vapes. Boosting those stories and making it seem like an epidemic supports whatever message they want to send. Which usually involves money somewhere.

Tech feels more filled with hipsters every day. If the story is about any major company or product it's just dunked on for social credits. But anything that is outside that is considered interesting and worth further investigation. It's frustrating me to no end.

Not just people like that. I'm always searching for better ways to do things and dive into things deeper. Including Windows and Copilot. So having spaces for that can be helpful. Most public forums are unfortunately just complaint departments. Nobody wants to solve anything, they just want to complain with some projection of David and Goliath. It's really annoying. I want to find more positive spaces but for a lot of tech it's just negative all the way down. Maybe I'm just crazy for enjoying tech still and not being committed to an OS religion.

That's true of most OEM's. Most phones will be cases so I can at least understand that argument, but I don't think as many tablets are in cases.

Between the iPad Air and iPhone 17e it's definitely the "value" day. It will just be a ramp up to the MacBook Pro. Makes a good contrast and marketing scheme.
