Some mods would do it. I don’t know why, but they would.

I thought Tinder’s most expensive tier costing $500/month was a joke, but it’s actually a thing. Someone somewhere is paying $500 for Tinder every single month. Wild.

Repost bots are already rampant on big subs, but it would get so much worse if those bots could generate continual revenue.

Tesla investors are starting to care, it seems.

I’ve had people on Reddit and Lemmy dispute my comments by citing ChatGPT… AI is a really innovative wrench that people are using as a hammer.

I also blame the AI companies for pushing that usage. It doesn’t matter how many tiny disclaimers Google and Microsoft add when they return AI answers to queries by default.

I asked the locally-hosted version about Tienanmen Square and it gave an accurate description, but the wording was a bit sympathetic to the CCP. It was like “according to some people, this is what happened, but the government contests this.”

My guess is that they’ll keep adding to WSL until Windows is just a legally ambiguous closed-source wrapper around Linux. They’ll make the GPL’d part so convoluted that they’re the only organization able to maintain it, which will force people to continue using their proprietary wrapper. Basically Android but for PCs.

What’s the smartest thing your owner has ever said?

Giving permission by saying yes to a “would you mind” question is the hill I die on. Usually I say “I would not mind” but if I’m feeling frisky I’ll say no and watch their brain melt.

It’s a nightmare to search for anything about GUID Partition Tables (GPT) now.

My biggest concern is that everyone will eventually be forced by societal and institutional expectations; for now people can easily choose not to wear them, but if/when your employer requires it for work or if/when the only way to talk to your friends is by using it, then you won’t have much of a choice.

For example, Zoom has very shady ties with the Chinese government (and several reports say that they’ve used it to surveil and censor people), yet many schools and workplaces required it (and many still do now). You could refuse to install/use it, but then you’d lose your job or fail your classes. It’s a similar story for TikTok, Discord, and Facebook before that.

The classic gonewild is a bit sexist, though. They say it’s for porn of all sexes, but male posts get buried. It’s fine to be female-only, but then just say that.

The real problem is the government not protecting consumers from such predatory business practices. It’s almost certainly not legal, and if it is then it shouldn’t be. After 3-4 companies are absolutely destroyed, companies will stop doing it.

Ever since we found out that Grindr has been tracking their users’ locations at all times and then selling that data to private companies, Grindr has been dead to me.

Good bot

If you care about security, use FDE. Then a text file with proper file permissions is probably fine.

I really like that bluetooth devices can still work at distances farther than a typical cable would allow. I have a decently-sized studio apartment and I can see my computer screen from most places. It’s nice to continue watching a video as I move around the apartment to clean, get up to stretch, play with my cat, etc.

You could probably get wired headphones that long, but then you’d be dealing with that giant cable all the time. Or you’d have to constantly swap cables and interrupt the audio during that time. My AirPods work reliably from 15ft away. I can’t argue with that convenience.
