@soychotic Windows was never this bad. Some hiccups, sure, but it is lacking behind macOS so much that it's scary.

They’ve just gotta be fucking joking at this point

@jonatanpallesen I don't think this will be the outcome. I can see it going down slightly and reverting around 2050. Making it symmetrical is absurd, because the postwar population growth was more intense than the current issue with replacement levels.

The total number of smart people in the world has just peaked. And now it's about to crash.

They're pushing money printing to the limit, to perform equity capture. The problem is that they will keep their share during crashes, because it is all architected. The tech sector is the leading market for those operations. Start any nonsense company, borrow money on top of the fake valuation, to invest in other people's fake tickers.

The positive thing about the acid dissolution of the West: there isn’t a single atom in my body that’s stressed about this type of thing anymore. The “nation” that accrued this debt has nothing to do w/ me. It’s the replacement population’s problem. Not my nation, not my debt

@e_considine @haugejostein This lot looks kind of sus. They were probably asked to build this to manage groundwater issues.

@haugejostein Doesn't look like a moat. Looks like a decorative pond/stormwater basin.

I live right next to the US embassy in London. They built an actual moat around it. Who builds a moat around their embassy? Countries that do bad things and expect retaliation. Or countries who do diplomacy as if we’re in the Middle Ages.

@haugejostein Can you show us on the doll where the building touched you?

@DispairSoftware Yes, this is why the picture is there, to shame Raghav

@GregNotSure sounds like a skill issue to me

to everyone doubting this man, he is using Klein D2000-9NE linemans pliers.

@BecomingCritter As opposed to the reusable bagels?

single serve bagel-shaped disc of cream cheese

@uwutoowo1 This upsets me

IN 90 MINUTES (6PM EST) we're gonna be testing a theoretical speaker build from the gigabrains on the DIYaudio subreddit, the Shitwoofer

@TeaconomistT @jonatanpallesen Except as a rage bait, I can't see why anyone would make that point. No, AI can't make barely functional people do anything new.

@GregNotSure @jonatanpallesen Are you? The number quoted represents the top 97th to 98th of the adult population. Just saying, don't get ahead of yourself faceless man with a cartoon avatar.

@Mammoth "Ah, you want to give us money? Talk to this rude old lady here, please."

Chinese suppliers: yo guys check out our stuff we are so eager to sell you our stuff we will do business on whatever app you doomscroll on please let us sell you our stuff North American suppliers: contact us for a quote but actually you will never hear a word from us ever

@TeaconomistT @jonatanpallesen Oh, you're not on that chart, it seems

@jonatanpallesen In a world of generative AI and robotics, does this even matter? Today somebody with an 80 IQ can vibe code a web site, and use AI to deliver the marketing material and help with budgeting he needs to sell his farm produce.

@Rothbard1776 Wow, it got me for a while

Tough camera angle.

@SNAFU_Sara @marcorandazza The reality is that people love to be hyperbolic about allergies, because it is just like claiming to be autistic: it's a trophy. "Omg, I'm so allergic to peanuts that if someone eats that right next to me, I might die" - This is just a cry for attention 99.999% of the time.

@SNAFU_Sara @marcorandazza Anyone "that allergic" for airborne particles has a very low quality of life and this is highly visible. Most people who think they're "that allergic" are actually the usual case of "if I eat one ounce of this, I will have a reaction".

I have such an irrational prejudice toward peanut allergy people. I do not defend it. I merely confess it. But I can't fucking stand them.

@sendcutsend This is beautiful

CNC machined parts, made in the USA, shipped in 3-6 days, LFG 🇺🇸

@SamAntar They will definitely use this to force people to accommodate "the needy". Even people who didn't sign up for this. They will claim that the law now allows it and you must receive a family under rent assistance to live there.

The man who wanted to cancel rent, ban evictions, and provide free legal help to nonpaying tenants wants you to become a landlord and rent out your backyard or basement.

@willreil Yeah but you would be hanging out with a third wheel

Summer time with the fiancé is going to go crazy

People can't really build an OS around Linux and its ecosystem. It ends up being a toolkit made for that install. This is ok for servers and embedded systems, but bad for generic computing. Android uses Linux as an embedded BSP, handcrafted for that hardware platform, and the real OS is Android itself.

For anybody saying "Just use Linux", you need to realise that Linux is worse than Windows. Windows has all the bloat, and while you can have Linux without any of that you still don't have tools like Remedybg, RAD Debugger and Super Luminal. Once you have such tools, then Linux is a suitable app development environment. But _it is still trash_ because of the whole Linux model of you needing to compile everything. The fact that you cannot run an app built using a newer version of glibc is an insane decision. I shouldn't have to upgrade my whole machine in order to run something built on a newer version. I shouldn't be worried that an upgrade will break my machine. I shouldn't be forced to compile things from scratch to work on my machine. I shouldn't be forced to install N packages, I just want self contained binaries I can just download and run. I shouldn't be forced to develop with an old distro to have "max glibc compatibility". I shouldn't have to worry about X11 / Wayland / Window Managers. I shouldn't have to worry about asking the user to select a folder, display a dialog or show notifications. Linux is such a huge waste of potential, if they got their shit together they would completely obliterate Windows. I first got into Linux in 2000, and even back then there was this "it will take over Windows any time now!". It's been _26 years_! The same way I'd pay quite a lot for Windows without any bloat, I'd be willing to pay for a distro that gives me all this.

@nationofshane @marcorandazza People these days try really hard to be "special"

@marcorandazza I've seen a kid with a peanut allergy pick up a peanut off the floor and eat it Guess what kind of peanut allergy he had the mom kind of peanut allergy where she tells you he has one but he really doesn't
