  • If I have a file, I have it.

    If google has my file, they say they have it. I'm told it's there. For how long? I dunno. Private? Hell no. Forever? Likely not.

    This small discrepancy is the entire drive behind me selfhosting.

    I'm a minimalist with selfhosting, a raspberrypi with a vpn connection, syncthing and a samba share is all most anyone really need-needs.

  • "Say the line, Nancy!"

    sigh... eat my shorts

    "Yaaaaaaaay!"

  • I have a friend at work who openly confessed to not being able to mentally create images when discussing why he wasn't into reading books.

    I was like "Wow, I can't really imagine your reality for myself, that sounds strange."

    he said, "Now you're getting it, as I can't imagine it, either."

    Video games and film though? 1000X more entertaining for him via his testimony. He can't conjure those images so seeing someone else's interpretation is often thrilling.

  • It's slavery with gaming qualities and objectives, like kids at a summer camp. Maybe if I get a few more tokens, I can buy a tshirt.

  • I didn't think an old nazi with 32 felonies would be the leader of the free world, I've been surprised a few times in my life but nothing really does it anymore.

    Can you say your statement could hold up against 50 years of future trends? Transhumanism? Fanatics who want it so bad that they make it law?

    For that matter, who's regulating Ai right now?

  • I feel like I looked into a bag labeled 'everything Alexa has ever heard' and gone, "I don't know what I expected."

    On the other side of the coin, the shock shouldn't be what it knows, but what every single other device you own with a micrphone might also know.

    Anyone here that isn't as equally distrusting of a stock, off the shelf cellphone is lying to themselves.

  • They do, so far.

    They do, so far as anyone is aware.

  • it's Gaben

    It's a new technology. The product will be bigger than Gabe or Valve and won't take long to become duplicated in function and form, then become commonplace.

    Gabe is starting a fire, it may spread and do things against his or anyone's goodwill, Pandora's box.

  • Gabe spends a lot of time at sea since the pandemic, and kinda comes off like he has some soft libertarian vibes about self sufficiency and governance.

    For me? He's human and rich. It's reason enough to be suspicious.

    Would I get it? I won't be first, that's all I know.

  • three weeks after implant

    "I was completely wrong about this technology! Valve Mindtap is the best thing ever!"

    eyes stare 1000 yards into the distance while your true consciousness screams to be let out from the dark prison it has been trapped in

  • It would need to become a platform and standard unto itself.

    Which is to say, I'm not installing one until I can flash the firmware myself.

  • So rich people can make money on the hype and sale of a new product to the masses?

    you know, like literally everything?

  • Sakamoto Days - A former hitman has to protect his family(and his convenience store) from his past.

  • are you charging into battle as we speak?

  • along with the poor white folk who voted for him.

    That sounds like a nice mix where nothing terrible could happen. Tons of black and brown people surrounded by the poor white rural idiots that disenfranchised both of their lives.

  • more insulting and immature fit-throwing

    The absolute worst kind of lemmy user. You can't just start an argument without something concrete to back it up. We aren't going to just assume you're right by default. Who the fuck do you think you are?

    and you're wrong

    https://www.prri.org/spotlight/breaking-down-the-differences-between-voters-and-non-voters-in-the-2024-election/

    "Voters are also more likely than non-voters to live in suburban (46% vs. 41%) and rural areas (20% vs. 16%). However, non-voters are notably more likely than voters to live in urban areas (43% vs. 34%)."

    The cut is hardly clear. That 30% is further cut by 43%, while it is a slight lead, it isn't the whole stack, and considering Trump still won due to rural, Republican voters despite every city being blue, with way higher concentrations of people? nah

    That's all you had to do, man. Why did you make this hard?

  • The third Riddick film is derivative of Pitch Black but imo, in the best ways possible. See it if you haven't. You won't be disappointed.
