Aside from fucking up our economy, this pushes some of our biggest trading partners into the arms of our biggest geopolitical rival.

Not since the three day special military operation has a country weakened themselves so thoroughly on the international stage.

And I’m happy for it, because we suck and have for a long time.

My fiancé works at a vet clinic that uses it and she says the doctors love it. The customers, however, don’t like that there’s an AI that listens to their visit so they just say it’s “software”

I was briefly employed at a firm that maintained the sales commission software for a large telecom firm.

It was 1.5 million lines of VB6, though VB8 was already three years old. Nobody knew all of it, so they couldn’t possibly rewrite it to handle all the edge cases and special incentives we kept having to add.

Except maybe the lone QA person, who would frequently begin sobbing at her desk. And we could all hear it because it was an open plan office and we weren’t allowed to wear headphones.

That job was so bad I quit and began freelancing.

Functional, yes. But rarely are these sorts of things efficient. They’re covered in decades of cruft and workarounds.

Which just makes them that much harder to port to a different language. Especially by some 19 year old who goes by “Big Balls”

Solution: Create an open source foundation, cram the board with Google employees

They can extract value from just the existence of your account. If they wanted to run an ad campaign to convince people to use them they can cross reference your email and any other demographic info.

Someone - maybe not you but someone like you - will buy an Apple product because of this.

Yeah but it got you to create an Apple account

It’s a loss leader. They make money selling the hardware and use AppleTV as a feature. That’s why the content is so good; it has to be to make it a compelling addition to their existing products.

Yeah, I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. Jellyfin makes it hard because, let’s face it, open source doesn’t do UX very well. Plex makes it hard because they’re enshittifying.

And I can’t make my own media server with blackjack and hookers because I’m too busy.

It’s this sort of fiddly stuff that gives me pause with Jellyfin. And the fact that people say their apps aren’t that good.

I’m not the sort of nerd who wants to fiddle with plugins or hook my laptop up to every TV in the house.

But I’ll give it a try just to see.

Zuckerberg refused to take meetings before noon, even with heads of state

This is the most normal thing about him

Welcome back and thanks for all the fish

They need to know it’s their fault. They elected him, either through action or inaction.

Then they need to do some introspection to figure out what the fuck is wrong with them.

But they won’t because America doesn’t do that. 9/11, for example, had nothing to do with anything America had done.

He had really bad autism. He was in love with a pigeon. Brilliant he was, but mad as a hatter.

I’m actually a big fan of Edison Motors, who are working to make heavy trucks into hybrids. And they’re Canadian!

This Reddit place is never gonna take off if they keep treating users this way

Give the players and refs VR rigs and let them work from home

I’ve been debating getting a new car after paying a ton to fix up my old one but now I think I’ll keep her forever.

Anybody got a lead on a rebuilt turbo for a 2.0L TSI?

People with ordinary Teslas might have bought them before Musk was a total ass. And apart from some dumb ideas like steering yokes and poor emergency releases and build quality they’re not that bad.

The Cybertruck is objectively bad and deserves ridicule regardless of what Lengthy Nutria does.

Hockey is a sport where fighting is allowed. To imagine Canadians can’t whoop ass is silly.
