It blows my mind to see so many leaders so nonchalant about genocide.

+1 Usual Suspects for sure. That movie blew my mind.

Same. It’s nice to have a way to quickly look through a bunch of options (even if 95% of them are shitty Chinese counterfeits). I’ll even look through the reviews and see if anything glaring jumps out. But I haven’t been a prime member since they put ads in prime video and haven’t really missed it.

The story in Horizon Forbidden West is pretty good too. There’s a whole bit in the dlc about Ted Faro that I did not see coming, but it makes me think a lot of the tech bros running things today.

Biden has come a long way from the good old days of “Diamond Joe”. I’m so disappointed in him for how he’s handling this.

Yeah, some of these are just getting extra attention because the plane is a Boeing and media is on the lookout for it. (Probably) not Boeing’s fault, but they will continue to be blamed for all issues on their planes until things are resolved with the investigation. Not exactly fair for Boeing, but they kinda brought this on themselves.

It also has a chicken-egg problem. What if the indicators of talent or skill aren’t apparent because of abysmally poor living and educational conditions? The lack of opportunity in many developing countries is such that people will be less successful and appear less talented simply because their country has limited ways for them to demonstrate it.

Oolong, steeped in my tea mug that has a lid on it. Usually with some local honey. Mmmm

Because truthfully the president doesn’t make enough difference if Congress continues to be absolutely fucking useless.

I hate how true this is. Honestly we need to have a better strategy for the legislature than we do now. Assuming that it will go the same way as the president or ignoring it because it isn’t one of the “big” elections is why every dem in the last 20 years has gotten roadblocked in moving forward any real progressive policy.

I don’t get why HP continues selling in the consumer market if they are struggling so much to make a profit.It seems like they are trying to force a business model on the wider market that doesn’t work.

The subscription model makes more sense in the B2B world where companies just want fixed costs without doing too much shopping around (for things like printer cartridges anyway).

JFC, talk about blast from the past. this is all I will hear for the rest of the day now.

The one thing where I agree with cable companies about is the risk to consumers accidentally canceling all or multiple services when they intend to just cancel one. It will be hard to explain that a package price will no longer apply if one part of the package is canceled.

However- it can be addressed with a well-designed cancelation instruction screen. This is a constraint to the communication and process design; it is not an insurmountable barrier like the cable companies are suggesting.

Maybe for companies that aren’t selling tools for digital artists, but WACOM is literally trying to sell a product that humans use to create these images. To usurp the their customer base and buy an AI image (even unintentionally) shows at best a complete lack of understanding about what kind of art is being made with their tablets and at worst a disregard for a major concern of their customer base.

I know it’s not the point of the article but I need to express my annoyance at the fact that Christopher Nolan is encouraging dvd/bluray purchase so much. He explicitly designs shitty sound in his films supposedly to make them sound better for the theater (i question his success in that effort) and then doesn’t adjust it for the bluray. So even then at home you have to adjust the sound up and down to hear the dialogue while not getting your eardrums blasted out by the action sequences.

Ok rant over. Otherwise I agree wholeheartedly, don’t trust streaming services to keep your movies for you. Bluray is the way.

they don’t even call it VR but spatial computing instead.

Ugh. Apple marketing with their need to create words for existing tech is just so damned pretentious.

Just knowing there are people out there who do these things gives me anxiety on their behalf. WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT

I used to browse linkedin all the time, and found that my contacts shared interesting articles and links that related to my job. I got 2 jobs from listing shared by my network that I’d never have found otherwise.

But it’s been years since that time, and now it is a cesspool of shameless fake humble bragging and totally non-work appropriate content. I’ve been hit on multiple times with men trying to get me to chat with them about really personal stuff in DMs.

I’m job hunting now, and it’s one of my main methods for finding opportunities but otherwise I wouldn’t log on at all.

Omg I can’t agree with this strongly enough. Just typing this comment I’ve had to manually correct multiple typos because even with haptic feedback and autocorrect I still end up with totally garbled text. I have never been able to get the hang of typing on a touch screen. Im still pining for the good old days of blackberries and slide out keyboards.

Hell, even a built in stylus like the galaxy note had would be a welcome fix to constantly fumbling with whatever keyboard I’m trying to make work at the moment.

FYI here is a site with instructions on how to cancel your prime membership since it’s not the easiest thing to find.

I was able to cancel on the mobile app using this same process.

I’ve seen a tesla ‘self driving’ hit the breaks when approaching a bridge. No f-ing way am I flying on an AI-piloted plane.
