@MickamiousG You're pushing it, especially on a school night. So long as it's not a regular occurrence.

7pm mowing the lawn, acceptable or no go ?

Would we be in a different place if Kamala had won the election? Assuming crashing the global economy and sending us into global war was all part of the of the global Elite's plan anyway.

@Liamjsm The key bit is could you have built this without the AI knowing what a 'piano hero' type app already is?

Lotta people using Claude to build software that already exists

@aakashgupta You lack imagination.

The entire Spider-Man franchise collapses if Peter Parker has an iPhone. Think about it. The Daily Bugle only works as an employer because it’s the sole distribution channel for Spider-Man photos. In 2026, Parker posts one blurry selfie mid-swing on TikTok and has 40 million followers by Thursday. He doesn’t need J. Jonah Jameson. Jameson needs him. MJ doesn’t need saving from a collapsing building when she can just share her location on Find My. “Hey I’m at the library” solves 90% of the dramatic tension in the Raimi trilogy. The secret identity itself is a pre-internet problem. Parker spends three movies agonizing over whether to tell MJ the truth. Today she searches “guy who always disappears when Spider-Man shows up” and Reddit has a 4,000-upvote thread with photo evidence by lunchtime. Every superhero narrative runs on the same broken assumption: that information is scarce and hard to distribute. Remove that constraint and Peter Parker is just a guy with a great Instagram following and a girlfriend who knows exactly where he is at all times. The web-slinging still works. The dramatic tension doesn’t survive a read receipt.

@Fenrirtheicewo1 Next you'll roll out a clip of exo squad.

God, remember when COOL and PEAK were the average of the days of old animation...?

@TMFScottP I agreed then and I still agree now. We have been sorely let down by our leaders.

This aged well for me... and atrociously for Australia. We learned a lot from COVID... and did nothing with those lessons. Hard to turn on a dime, but we *can* start planning *now* for the next time something like this happens. Just need some policy interest from our pollies.

@ChrisJBakke I think the most painful part of this is how easily you used to be able to find a you can a picture like this of a real place. A Google image search now just returns more ai slop.

You will live on the AI slop farm. You’ll have 10,000 acres and your front door will lead directly to a small 8x8 foot swamp. Three horses will drink from the water, with decapitated jockeys on their backs. One of your horses will be the longest horse in the world. Your fences will kind of veer off into the grass from time to time. There’s three shutters on some of your windows and a shutter to the left of your front door. You have no driveway and you own no Gucci bags. You are happy.

@Dangerisinu @SiNuTrmon I'm laughing in Australian BBQ. 30 is just about bang on for it.

@SiNuTrmon you can still eat food and generally live in cold weather try keeping down a giant plate of eggs and steak then woking in the sunlight for more than an hour hot weather "enjoyers" only "like it" cause air conditioning exists literally everywhere they go (if theyre american)

I’ll say it a million times if i have to but nobody who believes this has experienced real winter

@sircalebhammer Some do better than others, but they bury all the services now so half the yard/nature strip can't host a big tree without risking the sewer, electrical, fibre, water supply, storm water, cable TV, gas, etc.

I understand that new neighborhoods will not be mature enough to have wonderful canopy trees, duh. But why are they (basically) not planting any trees at all? I think I see four or five baby trees? A new neighborhood rarely looks good, but ones like this will NEVER look good.

@KatieGrace2022 Unfortunately, basically all senior public servants outsource risk by hiring consultants. If anything goes south, just blame the third party.

Hang on - we have a whole Government and an Energy Minister all paid for by our taxes, all voted in to do their job. So why are they appointing bureaucrats to do what we pay them to do … THEIR JOB? What’s the point of a Government, a Department or a Minister if you hand over your job to a bureaucrat…?🤷‍♀️

@Gentlman_Gaming 'Your bargaining posture is highly dubious' 'there was a time when I thought I would spare your wretched planet, now witness it's dismemberment!' (Orson Welles certainly helps on the delivery side)

@Gentlman_Gaming There are lots of great bits of that movie, but the dialogue was so epic. 'spare me this mockery of justice' 'I've got better things to do tonight than die' 'one shall stand, one shall fall' 'you, who go on without mercy, now plead for it?'

After finally watching #Transformers The Movie. I understand why kids were upset after seeing it. It's the freaking Red Wedding for 10 yr olds. After the first 30 minutes you didn't want to see your favorite character on screen for fear they would die next. Good lord.

@_ROB_29 Now the smart ones are moving back to a local MP3 library and cds. Get on board.

If people want to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection and then replace that with a CD collection that we slowly replaced with an MP3 collection and now need a subscription to listen to music.

@NatHalberstadt Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Laser Printer

I really need a printer that has zero screen, wifi, or bluetooth connection. I just want to be able to plug a usb cord printer --> computer Hit print, and have it actually work every time

@tonyannett You are the first person I have ever seen trying to 'code' this as masc/fem. You are the one doing the cukutre war thing. You are an idiot.

I am convinced that the obsession with fossil fuels and nuclear by men in particular is that they are coded “masculine” whereas solar and wind are coded “feminine.” Get culture war bullshit out of technology!

@eevblog I can see the appeal of saying no, but reality is everyone has vested interest in various political platforms. That's just how democracy works.

Should people who work for the government be allowed the vote?

@aakashgupta Manifest randomness

Let me explain exactly why your phone seems to read your thoughts, because the real answer is more invasive than telepathy. Every time you open a website or app, a real-time bidding auction fires in under 100 milliseconds. Your GPS coordinates, browsing history, device fingerprint, age, gender, income bracket, and hundreds of inferred interest categories get packaged into a “bid request” and broadcast to hundreds of companies simultaneously. One company wins the ad slot. All of them keep the data. This happens thousands of times per day per person. A 2018 New York Times investigation found 75 companies pulling precise location data from apps, with some users tracked up to 14,000 times in 24 hours. In 2012, a Target statistician identified 25 products that, purchased in combination, could predict a customer was pregnant and estimate her due date. A teenager’s father discovered she was pregnant because Target sent baby coupons to the house before she told anyone. That was one retailer. Store receipts only. Fourteen years ago. Now scale that. Your phone pings GPS while you sleep. Data brokers link your phone, laptop, and tablet through probabilistic matching of IP addresses, WiFi networks, and behavioral patterns without you ever logging in. The FTC caught two brokers in 2024 categorizing people by visits to reproductive health clinics, political protests, and religious services, then selling those profiles to law enforcement. The algorithm doesn’t hear your thoughts. It compares your behavioral fingerprint against millions of similar profiles and predicts your next interest before you’re consciously aware of it. It makes hundreds of predictions per day. You ignore the misses. The five hits feel like telepathy. You paid for the phone. You pay for the data plan. You generate the signal. And every time a page loads, your identity gets auctioned to the highest bidder before the content even renders. They called it “personalized advertising” because “real-time mass surveillance funded by the people being surveilled” doesn’t fit on a consent banner.

@uncledoomer Yup

there really is a "fix everything right now" button for buying a printer and its been the same for 20 years

@AshPolitik @SWHobbyFarm This is just flat retarded. Stop commenting until you get at least a basic grasp of economics.

@SWHobbyFarm No evidence that’s the case—no report or evidence, just political and ideological throw away lines. Inflation is not caused by government spending. No RBA or ABS report says anything of the kind.

Dear RBA, you whinge about your only tool is lifting rates. You know, you don't have to use a failed, blunt, outdated tool for the sake of it. It aint going to stop boomers with savings accounts spending. It aint going to fix global oil shock.

@TheGameVerse The AI overlay is a bit heavy, and lighting appears blown out in every one of these. BUT, if the characters/models/design/props can be designed and remain consistent for EVERYONE EVERYTIME, then i can't see the problem.

DLSS OFF vs ON 💀
