Hey if Gabe wants to make Linux phones something to be taken seriously I’m all for that. Until then, Gemini creeps me the fuck out so no android. I can tolerate Siri being fucking dumb.

We believe in you, rottingleaf!

Ugh, that sounds incredibly unpleasant. I felt that comment on a psychic level and it was….mushy.

From what little I know about Gabe, it’s seems he doesn’t want to be the center of attention at valve. He wants Steam to the center of attention. It’s a smart play as we are seeing more and more people turning on techbros and their cult leader status’.

My cat cost my insurance company whatever they paid my doctor to write a note to tell my landlord I wouldn’t be paying a pet deposit equal to a months rent (non-refundable) and pet rent.

She seemed annoyed by the whole thing but unsurprised. Apparently part of her job is to write the landlords fuck you notes.

I finally made the switch to a credit union. I had them for years for my car loans, but never really bothered using them for my primary checking account. After some recent terrible calls to Huntington bank, I decided to just move everything over to my credit union and close the bank account.

So far it’s much better. The rates are better. The customer service is better trained and understands what I’m trying to say (as well as english.) The website and app are far better. There’s also a recession coming and I felt it was better to use a credit union than a bank anyway.

I have been wanting to do this for a while and just never made a priority of it until after my last few calls I had to Huntington and that just signaled it was time to leave.

Probably. reddit has tons of content from back when humans were the dominant posters there and that comes up in search results. I can see a future where text searches will turn up reddit posts much like image searches flood you with pinterest shit.

Because if anybody would have a relevant take on this, it’s Florida’s attorney general.

This shouldn’t be relevant but actually yea, ax has a good point. Plenty of people don’t really understand things that aren’t part of a big brand online.

Credit unions don’t have shareholders. They face totally different pressures.

Russia SHOULD NOT starve out before ukraine, but look at the ratio of money coming in vs going out in russia vs ukraine. Also, Putin has guaranteed the issue is unfixable as he surrounds himself with yes men, while Zelensky has a leaner operation that involves skilled people who can offer opposing information without the threat of defenestration.

Paypal has a reputation for this kind of thing from before Trump 2.0 though. They’ve ben doing this since at least 2003.

there are several ways to do this. it depends on the software and the operating system the client is running on which make sense. There is also a way to fake it if you create a catalogue of commonly used apps with VPNs, then have the VPN client launch them with command line arguments, but thats not really a flawless way to do it, just compatible

The end game doesn’t involve having customers at all. The rich think they just wont need an economy anymore once their slaves die off and automation and AI replace them all.

They wont be able to help themselves though. They will get bored and start eating eachother.

You know what? I’m going to buy some yaoi on steam out of spite. Spite yaoi.

Yes. It’s yes. They have been able to achieve devastating damage on Moscow for quite a while now I’d imagine. Not enough to wipe it off the map but certainly enough to prove a point.

That’s not the real question Trump is asking though. He’s actually asking Zelenskyy to explain international politics to him. Trump doesn’t understand the potential backlash Ukraine faces if they are seen as crossing a line. Zelensky is being very reserved with this. He’s playing the long game. He’s planning it out. He’s letting Russia flail about and starve itself. And Trump is just a colossal dumbfuck who can’t possibly understand not doing the most impulsive, reckless and expensive thing possible.
