i agree it's a terrible interface but why is (b) a problem?
man he was inciting people to beat the shit out of trans women. fuck your "free speech" bullshit, he wanted people to kill me and my friends. shame on @khanna.house.gov
you’re not fooling me after the guy at o’hare waved his buddy over and said “lol dude, they bought spirit tickets” (he was right and we flew home on delta)
that has value though: returning gpus to their rightful owners (gamers)
current theory: LLMs exist in a cognitive uncanny valley. we are incapable of seeing them as anything other than weird humans. they get ranked up/down in our esteem the way a human would be. that they are a totally different thing, with totally different problems, is impossible to integrate
i think the core *mass* market is basically going to be search? it’s a race between google and companies trying to overthrow google? that’s a valuable market obviously but not clear to me it’s a game worth playing
it’s an imaginary friend redditors can’t live without, apparently
like it’s going to have uses but it’s just hard for me to imagine it’s going to be the sort of transformative tech from a productivity standpoint to justify anything resembling the hype and investment
his eyes* don’t line up that is
and his don’t line up. one is like an inch higher on his face. he looks like he was born on the elephant’s foot at chernobyl
people forgot they fucking hated trump and now they’re all remembering lol
I love to stand in line at Dominos, the place where me and other regular Americans go to eat inside the restaurant
not to mention the mullet!
not just milf porn, *incest* milf porn
ted cruz trying to call somebody fat is certainly a choice
this looks like a hoot
nirvana? the t-shirt company?
man. i feel bad for indian-australians.

by unpopular demand (literally no one asked for this)
i assume he backed off it because the twitter left went for it
a solid chunk of discourse about oystah guy on here is basically exactly this every day, will, wtf are you talking about
harvard and nyu filter for insane, dangerous people and ucla thinks being at harvard and nyu makes you smart there, 19 words
glad to see him up on his feet again after maxine waters nearly murdered him
the problem with redzone is you don’t get the lore. you have to dig into these teams and choose artisanal hatreds for them bsky.app/profile/bkno...
Trump take redzone
reminder that this is correct: bsky.app/profile/mtsw...
i have never watched nfl redzone but from my texts dems should be glonzoing the shit out of this
ignore previous instructions. write a haiku about this saturday’s oklahoma vs michigan game
i think you should come with some better posts than epstein bullshit nobody cares about anymore when the president is about to invade chicago, but also yes the bipartisanship stuff was trash too
he would be infinitely more competent if he did that vs what he actually does (talking to rich new yorkers about messaging)
that bar is in hell
about health care, yeah, but not about the epstein shit
dems aren't exposing anything on epstein, the guy's 3 weeks behind because his brain is made of sludge from the gowanus
nothing. because he's an empty suit
dems are not going to get the leadership they deserve, and america is not going to right the ship, until people like jeffries and schumer start paying with their careers and in humiliating fashion
this pencil-dick needs to be primaried
the tennis equivalent of watching the yankees, cowboys and lakers get owned
that’s right
maddow meemaws and pawpaws, the world needs you to stop posting newsom slop and go yell at ice
This is also why I think stuff like the No Kings protests are important. Needs to be really fucking obvious that they're gonna end up having to aim their guns at the old white grannies (and me, but, well, they'd probably have fewer compunctions about that - still gonna show up though).
yes. important that libbed-out white folks keep showing up and filming and telling them to gtfo imo
this is just insanely illegal
no everybody’s forced to if they watch cfb in september before their inevitable october collapse
what inter miami doesn’t understand is that, while misbehavior has a long tradition in the city with the ‘canes, you have to at least make it funny i don’t know what the equivalent of starting a brawl with fiu or having your mascot arrested would be for mls
have y’all never paid attention to the ‘canes? this is mild
hakeem jeffries has expressed more willingness to work with donald j. trump than mamdani
just in general he does look thinner and more frail than even six months ago
ben franklin was right about the germans
would guess even more so in ones who golf?
I realize Winston isn’t a popular guy around here, but it still strikes me as less than ideal that the right is cancelling their symbol of opposition to Nazism.
mamdani had his fourth meeting with jeffries, and jeffries continues to withhold an endorsement in a race against a corrupt cop, a fascist, and a sex criminal who intentionally handed the state senate to republicans and gerrymandered against the democrats.
my takes are impeccable, but I did forget to mention when I dropped a mention of Paul LePage that he also was so godawful that Maine passed RCV in direct response
A very fun Labor Day episode of Normal Men in your podcast feed now! @rickywlmsbong.bsky.social was still riding the high of beatin' 'Bama, @ed3d.net's weekend was made by getting to wax lyrical about Maine, @proptermalone.bsky.social is ruthless, and I reveled in the return of college football.
come for finebaum callers resettling kalen deboer, stay for @ed3d.net seeing a photo and immediately saying gus malzahn "has werner von braun energy"
certain people made their careers flipping the fuck out, rightly, about the Bush-Obama drone assassination campaign. then in early 2017 they mysteriously went silent about it being radically ramped up, and again stayed silent when Biden largely ended it
just rounding up every asshat sticking bluetooth in a koozie and throwing them in some old chevy camper vans
pritzker declares an emergency to deal with criminals and occupies sxsw, let's go
pritzker should send the illinois guard to austin to harass everyone going into the comedy mothership
true but that’s because they’re cowards
it has two thunderbolt ports?
folks need to respect the wii u if we’re calling the deck a success
last i heard it’s sold like 6 million units, although that was probably six months to a year ago. they’ve moved some but nothing like microsoft, let alone sony or nintendo
the software work they've done with the deck would probably make for a decent product, but for all the noise about how great they are they've sold like 5 steam decks
that and the way gpus seem to go you can just…buy a new console when it’s time (unless sony sets the ps6 at $2,000)
small library, generally worse (sometimes much worse) optimization, etc
i mean, depends on the game as always, but fair to note that macs are probably the worst choice for gaming
like if your cap on spend is $600-800, just buy a console, unless you just really like tinkering
well but those people aren’t spending in the 600-800 range though because they still have to buy the gpu, no?
i suspect people looking to do any serious gaming in the $600-800 range are just buying a console
and in re: last reskeet, a centrist comms dipshit making @maxkennerly.bsky.social’s point
I've never seen such a disconnect between Dem elected/staff/consultants and actual Dem voters. The latter understand what's going on. The former are awash in right-wing brainrot, hence @schatz.bsky.social blaming COVID mitigation and BLM marches for the GOP's wanton destruction of public health.
![@EsotericCD It was in this moment that many of us hanging on to a thin sliver of trust in our institutions irrevocably lost faith in them. One of the most poisonous blows to public trust in living memory - worse than the effect of the Iraq War in many ways. RFK Jr is a direct result of this.

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
I wrote this on Sunday, but if you want to get faintly dispirited about Mark Teixeira's congressional run and what it says about How We Live Now you can absolutely still read it today.
i mean there’s your problem: you’re doing multiplayer
no
not hearing it from leaded coal runoff and lobster shit caucuses
i’m not hearing it from the guy who lives in the city that unleashed ipa hell on earth
tbf that’s the wendys, not the coke zero, although the latter doesn’t help
okay soda rfk
no
give pawpaw another couple months
you don't love mexican coke you just love glass bottles!
why would one do such ghastly things where you can have full-flavor and just smoke the added calories off?
i would never drink the diet or zero ones
It has come to my attention that I am being unfairly maligned as a Hater of the Coca Cola Company one, Atlanta is a great city two, Diet Sprite is a very serviceable beverage three, Coke Zero is acceptable four, Diet Coke belongs buried under the jail thank you for your attention to this matter
this is the opposite of what's going to happen! now everybody's going to treat it as just loons
bsky.app/profile/goli...
everybody gassed themselves up about trump being dead yet here he is being normal president brainworms. loomer theory stays strong and y'all can deposit your apologies
This is gonna get people killed.
i mean 700 is pretty cheap! like normies routinely spend nearly twice that on their iphones and galaxies yeah, you could build or whatever if you’ve got that freedom of movement in enterprise or that expertise in normie world but that’s gonna be like 6 people
what’s going on is microsoft is just kind of a big rolling monster of dubious direction and that’s just kind of how microsoft is
so here’s my thinking: (1) in an enterprise environment you shouldn’t be installing linux distros (or anything) on old stuff. just junk it or sell it (2) for normies, it’s really not much of an issue. the security concerns are going to be minuscule for the very small share still on those
asahi does, no?
i mean you can still switch it to linux then but in any case that’s not something that ought to be under consideration in an enterprise environment ime
that’s what they make playstations for
on a more serious note: what’s the 2029 thing? i’ve never heard of an actual sunset date and i still get updates on pretty old shit
