Not surprised. Kinda hard to believe there haven’t been more public attempts on official’s lives. What was the most shocking was the rapid and wide-spread spool-up of hatred online against liberals/democrats without them ever knowing the shooter’s identity or affiliation. They didn’t care. Aided by Chinese and Russian troll farms, of course.

Society? The American Experiment is over. I fully expect Republicans to remain in power indefinitely, forcefully, through falsehood, or simply just throwing the rules out the window. The only thing that remains after that will be if there is a purge and how deep it goes. Will your social media post history critical of Trump get you fired? Disappeared? Jailed? Will the regime stop at open persecution of democratic officials or will they take it all the way down to the regular citizens?

Retarded Skynet. What could possibly go wrong.

(Sorry for the word choice)

Incite further right wing rage?

AI putting copyright troll lawyers out of jobs? Best use I’ve heard of yet.

They exist. Don’t think I’ve ever met one either.

And the nursing homes will be full of Arya, Daenarys, and Khaleesi. Boys movie names tend to be pretty underwhelming. Maybe a bunch of “Wades” from Deadpool.

If the internet were a forest, Google opines the forest is in such poor shape while Google uses and sells chain saws.

I think “cube” was an apple term for their chargers.

I’ve swapped back and forth between brands since I built my first computer almost 30 years ago. It was intel forever until AMD showed up with their early Athlons, amazing CPUs for the price. Then Intel fought back with with their Core 2 Quads, AMD with Thunderbirds, back to intel with their higher i-series, up until about 2-3 years ago and now AMD’s Ryzen offering the better performance/$ again. It’s too bad intel seems to be unable to keep costs competitive and maintain quality. I’ve never had a CPU quit on me yet (knock on wood). Motherboards, RAM, PSUs, sure. I used to partial upgrade every 2 years or so, but the golden era of PC building is gone. The high prices of GPU’s alone really killed the momentum we had from say ‘05-‘15.

It’s just a phone? I’d have an android or fairphone if my job didn’t have apple devices and apps I use all the time. Just makes sense to not need two sets of a lot of things.

Yep. I abandoned r/gaming when I still participated in Reddit. Avoid discord game server lobbies. Have text chat and voip disabled in competitive gaming. Gamers have always been real douches, from game criticism to shitting on other players for any reason whatsoever, so if one wants to enjoy a game it’s best to stay away from the “community” at large and stick with friends or a known group. Community in quotes because there really isn’t one, just mostly a rabble of haters and tryhards mixed in with a lot of people just trying to have some fun.

I’m tired of soft criticism like “out of touch” when lawmakers do something openly hostile to the will and benefit of constituents. They’re not out of touch, they’re self-serving authoritarians.

Not much of a difference if you’re a landlord. I don’t entirely disagree, but Lemmy hates landlords even if you’re a good one.

Ouch, lol.

All I got was the coffee mug.

Google bribes trump, agrees to place pro-trump search results higher. Nothing happens to Google.

You can label it whatever you want. There are going to be API fees or development costs for AI, so whatever box they want to put it under.

But are the AI issues cheaper than the corporate infrastructure around hiring and paying employees and losing the occasional customer? If AI is more profitable, they don’t care. The only thing that’s mattered for decades now is what the bottom line says, no matter the cost.

Unfortunately the “anything” is limited by what the game allows. If “anything” isn’t what you find interesting, then you’re gonna drop the game pretty quick.

Hah. Same complaint I had about Elite:Dangerous. Lightyears wide, one inch deep. Gotta hand it to FDev, though, they really try to keep community goals happening.
