Everything is wrong unless it’s not, duh. Context is everything!

Hmm, I wonder if they would get in trouble if someone uploaded child porn to their servers.

Maybe, but then they’d want more data, not complaining about needing to limit it. Or maybe it’s just because they want lots of small files like text, and not waste it on inefficient sound and video files.

Yeah, makes no sense that they store some pdf I was dragging over to someone one time. Super inefficient. They should allocate an amount of storage per user that then rolls and deletes the oldest files when the cap gets exceeded to make room for the new files.

To be fair, there were THREE exclamation points!!! You don’t think that guy was jazzed?

I didn’t know of Figma, but then again I don’t know much of that kind of work. How does it compare in terms of feature parity?

This is correct, he both explained how ad blocking hurts creators, and how ultimately he doesn’t mind because purchasing merch is way more beneficial to them then the adsense money.

All he was saying is do what you want to do but don’t pretend your actions don’t impact other people. Do it with open eyes if you’re going to do it.

There is absolutely value in something compiling sources for you to personally review. Anyone who cannot use AI efficiently is analogous to someone who can’t see the utility in a graphing calculator. It’s not magic, it’s a tool. And tools need to be used precisely, and for appropriate purposes.

My plumber fucks up I don’t blame his wrench. My lawyers don’t vet their case work, I blame them.

You check it’s work. I used it to calculate efficiency in a factory game and went through and made corrections to inconsistencies I spotted. Always check it’s work.

Is Xitter pronounced Shitter? Makes South Park prophetic again.

I have no problem with change. But I do have a problem with Microsoft’s lack of QC or proper design methodology.

But if you lose money you’ve effectively funded the maga cult!

Much like Chrome forced me to Firefox, Windows will force me to Linux. It is inevitable.

Meh, probably not actually harder to do, but these people crave attention and recognition. If they did it from behind a computer, no one would see how important they are!

This sounds about right to me.

May not be super intuitive, but getting rid of them is intellectually lazy. If you know an hour is 60 minutes, it makes enough sense.

If an hour is 60 minutes, 60/12 is 5 minutes per number on the clock. Long hand is minutes because there are more minutes in a day than hours. Or at least that’s how I can rationalize it.

If you can explain an analog clock that quickly, it’s just lazy for them to not learn it. It also has cross application to make people more comfortable with mental math and multiples commonly seen in trigonometry.

Absolutely correct. CAT 5e should be able to max out at 125MB/s.

Damn, beat me to it!

If you want your life to change, you yourself must be open to change. Life itself is change. What exactly are you clinging so fiercely to? Misery? There’s a reason they say misery loves company.

Don’t aim for happy; aim for neutral, aim for peace, aim for not miserable. All of those are an infinite improvement.

Ok, let me be fair and clarify my FFXIV story. Yes I did meet my SO in a video game, and that all does sound too good to be true. What I left out was the hard work getting myself into in therapy and on a path to meaningfully and deliberately work at being happy. By the time I met my girlfriend, I was already in a much better head space, and I was already trying to put myself out there to actively start dating.

Regarding your other comment about life that doesn’t reproduce being not worth living, I don’t buy that for a second. All life hits a dead end. All will need to contend with The Big Freeze, The Big Rip, or The Big Crunch.

Life is meaningful precisely because it is finite. Infinities are a dime a dozen. And infinities await us all.
