Peace and love in MA, saving this pic, you two are soooo cute. Love some beer near the bay.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the death of my current TV. A LG that’s plain old LCD, but HDR and 4k, no smart shit. Luckily I know hardware and can physically disable things. I break and remove things so hardware is physically incapable of connecting.

I agree

See you in the ad revenue gulag. We’re going to love our cooperate sponsors when we get out. I hope we both get McDonalds.

I genuinely want to know, I’m not against immigration. I support it. But what is the long term plan here. We’re going to reach population maximum simply due to resources. Are third world countries just supposed to forever stay in third world crisis sending refugees to the first world countries? Are we not striving for the same equality world wide where every area can develop to a functioning first world society? We could retain everyone’s diversity if crisis areas could retain their culture instead of destroying it for the sake of short term single generation profit.

Same, I’ve watched everything from MySpace to Twitter come and go without ever participating. I would browse reddit and did comment on the small subs for my hobbies in the early days.

I feel like the internet is collapsing, in 2-5 years things are going to be so different. I’m here to shit post and cry until it ends. It’s was fun while it lasted.

I can’t wait to find out how much YouTube is going to sue me for in 2025 for 20 years of blocked ad revenue. They’re going to use 2005 Napster math. You didn’t watch 3 ads per video x 6,000,000 played videos = $2 million lost revenue, pay up citizen, your Google services have been disabled, all location and behavior data is in possession of Alphabet Debt Collection, you cannot run, you cannot hide.

You do not want raccoons in your life. They are horrible criminal psychopaths that will bite you.

This feels like a weird point to make for OP since I figure anyone here talking about AI is very familiar with distributed networked computing. Botnets have been such a pain in the dick for at least 15 years now. Imagine something that intimately and only knows how to “live” in computing. The distributed areas of could “live” in and have access to all the resources it needs either directly or not. Storing info and using resources of anything it can touch through the network, computers, phones, TVs, cars, door bell cameras, router and networking infrastructure.

I feel there is inevitably either a human made virus or a standalone AIG that is going to accomplish this.The extent to which it spreads, if the damage can be recovered from, and how we progress after it’s going to be a big defining moment is technological history. The globalized network with everything communicating is the most powerful and least secure super computer ever. Those running botnets figured that out a long time ago. All it takes is one AI.

I don’t know when exactly it happened, maybe it was a slow creep, but steam sales no longer mean anything. Just put games that you actually want on your wishlist and wait a year for it to go on sale once, maybe twice in a year. They used to have really good games going for less than $10 and I could buy a few that I had zero intention of buying. I’m a big boy, I don’t have to pirate, I’m willing to pay $30 for a handful of games I know I will play eventually.

Now it’s a handful of seemingly corporately predetermined sellers. I’ll pay for games and media, if you make it cheap and easy. Oh well, cracked games run faster anyways ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So glad I decided to stop lurking and actually start participating right as the whole fediverse dies out, it’s not just lemmy.

Nostalgia :'(

On a burner, that I got a homeless guy to buy, in Portugal, which I illegally entered, from Spain, which I also illegally entered.

Finally. I can look at cats and femboys.
