That’s the challenge with technical advances. It’s not just solving the technical problem, it’s also solving the societal problem.

If you look back into history, Automated elevators was a major panic until people got comfortable with the idea.

If it gets me closer to Half-Life 3, then pipe that shit into my brains

My root issue with people who shit on AI is that by pretending like it doesn’t exist or refusing to use it, your voice is not part of the conversation.

The world will use AI, regardless of your personal feelings.

And if you arent in the room to help shape decisions, don’t be surprised when we are fucked.

I understand what they’re saying.

Like, I hate Blockchain and NFTs. But both are just souless technologies in their own right.

NGL I keep forgetting NextCloud has collaboration tools.

Remember when Russia had all those cyber attacks and suddenly, a huge chunk of Reddit stopped spewing hate?

(us giving energy to Anonymous)

That’s a pretty good idea. Musk is a fan of Roman history. Do a Decimation Elon! Fire every 10th developer! That’ll bring the system back up!

It is when it comes to Twitter. They’ve tinkered with Grok to block reality to better suit whatever Musk believes is true.

That’s probably the closest to support/press there is from that shit hole.

Every single company.

All it takes is your favorite company to suddenly be run by a CEO who wants to maximize profits or increase shareholder value, or worse, think they’re God’s Gift to the World. Or in the flip side, they’re fighting for survival so they have to make scummy decisions to keep afloat.

I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.

After watching Trump boost his crypto scams, I absolutely believe that the X wallet or whatever has the means to successfully fleece morons.

(me wishing CVS/Rite aid/Walgreens didn’t destroy all the mom and pop drug stores)

They do. It’s the secret aisle, behind the store. Ask for Kenny.

Joplin.

Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I’ve reached my limit of cost vs value.

I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.

I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.

Ah, thought you meant though metadata. Like a end user snooping through some obscure meta data method (even after cleaning) let’s you triangulate something.

Ignoring the Seagate part, which makes sense… Is there a reason with 36TB?

I recall IT people losing their minds when we hit the 1TB, when the average hard drive was like 80GB.

So this growth seems right.

How so? Asking out of curiosity.

There are home users of Microsoft 365?

I’m not shaming but I kinda am. Like WTF is wrong with you? You pay for free shit.

Office employees don’t get to choose.

What a twist. In the 90s, the internet forced countries to wake up to the new modern era. It was a combination of American companies wanting both to expand and provide goodwill.

And now, this new era is going to tell American companies to fuck off.
