Statistically meaningless. Emotionally soothing.

I use the walking and transit functionality of Google maps extensively. Being able to account for “the G is not running but there’s a free shuttle bus” is really nice.

I would be lost (pun intended) without the map on my phone, but maybe an alternative could have taken off.

Huh. I read that choice as meaning “I am excited about heading into the future with AI, but I’m concerned it might end badly”, but on rereading the actual question I see that’s a weird answer for it.

The point is that when they average person double clicks an MD file, it should probably open and display.

It does? I mean, I guess it depends on your OS and if there’s an handler for .md files. My machine opens them fine. I don’t know what the default is on windows. Handling a file extension with a smart default is really on the OS provider, though.

I mean, jail is one option, but the hungry wolves are right there.

This is too heavy handed. And yet most of the audience won’t get it

And that’s the end of using reddit, right?

If it’s going to make LLMs it’s not as useful as the other things I listed. Paying a bunch of software engineers $300k each to work on LLM nonsense instead of something useful is a shame. Sure, the money isn’t set on fire, but the opportunity cost is large.

That’s a lot of money that could have been spent on healthcare, food security, housing, transit, climate change problems…

Havent used Spotify for years. Bought music on Bandcamp and some other sources, play it drm free.

A woman who was arrested on Saturday after she drove a truck through a youth soccer game in Wichita, Kansas – killing a boy and a man – has been released from custody without charges pending further investigation, according to authorities.

Once again, the best way to do some murder is with a car. People just accept it

It is kind of funny how the US simultaneously exalts FREEDOM and tyranny. The tyranny being the private realm, where your boss has total control

We are ruled by idiots. It’s probably been that way for the majority of history.

Most places I’ve worked, management has been a negative force.

There’s a lot of idiots out there desperate for validation they don’t deserve.

Most people don’t care about things. They just want the convenience. Eat the marshmallows now. Getting a stomach ache later is some future problem.

That can be part of a solution. You also need to plug up holes like “it’s not a wage - i just got a personal loan using my company stock as collateral”.

Stop buying Harry Potter shit. It’s so fucking easy to not kill trans people. Jesus fucking christ.

I don’t understand how so many people just cannot accept a mild amount of inconvenience or deprivation. Like, I get not everyone can de-google or even get off facebook. That stuff can be entangling. But harry potter is just one little franchise.

“I have been outspoken on wanting public executions for over a decade.”

So said Palmer Luckey

It would be too on the nose for him to be publicly executed, but saying stuff like that with a name like “lucky” is really begging for fate to intervene.

My friends always say “You can’t just kill them. There will be someone to take their place.” The obvious response is kill them too. Eventually, people will stop being so eager to take their place!

Though as the comic says, there’s always going to be assholes. Limiting how much power they have would be great.

I am currently running a game of Vampire predicated on “what if you all just… took out the ultra rich?”. It has been satisfying.
