Oooh right of course. I’ve not had a maccies breakfast in a while and kinda forgot. Most breakfast places I’ve ever been to just sell “baps”, “rolls” or “butties” even if they end up serving it on a muffin roll

Muffins?

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an advert for a muffin

That being said, since it’s actually good I now expect it to be nerfed and/or abandoned in about 6 months

Exactly this, Google is where it is because generally its products start out pretty good

My local area group is pretty much the only thing I remotely use it for and that’s a rarity

I’ve not posted anything about myself in getting close to a decade now

Rich people spending some money is not trickle-down economics.

Trickle down economics is the lie that centralising capital in the hands of the few benefits everyone due to their increased ability to invest their capital.

What happens is they spend a small amount of their fortune in self-serving pursuits (e.g. their security in this scenario) and then they hoard the vast majority of what’s left. The incentive structure of capitalism means a capitalist benefits more from holding capital than distributing it.

The system is broken by design and cannot be fixed without replacing it

I see where you’re coming from but then you could easily headline this as “Teenage con man scams $50k”

Just because some people are gullible, and even if they’re also often shitty people, it doesn’t mean they deserve to be scammed

Cheers I appreciate the list, yeah I had a feeling it was a bit of a smaller library

I’ve never really given the 32X library much of a look

What are some personal highlights of people here? I might give some a look at the weekend

Microsoft used to actually hide games in Office back in the day

Challenge: create an escape room using just Jira workflow

I’m sure an unfortunate bang on the head could invalidate that one

Edit: that reads a lot more like a threat than I intended it

Pretty useful for software engineering, particularly helpful in writing a test suite, you still need to actually check the output though ofc

Also made use of it for writing my end of year review to solve the blank page problem, I find it a lot easier to edit down than starting HR stuff like that entirely from scratch

A large number of Americans generally seem to grow up with a main character complex thanks to all the individualist & jingoist propaganda people get bombarded with over there.

The search for something “exotic” as you put it is just an ego-driven search for the piece of evidence that they are, in fact, more special and unique than everyone else.

No no, terrorists would also do things like bomb hospitals or run over civilians with a bulldozer

AI “tools” like this are an absolute piece of piss to create, and they are also the kind of thing that bro investors love to throw money at currently

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like they’ve really stuck with it

You know what yeah, I’ve got no idea why I imagined the “when” to be an “if”

Probably wishful thinking

Lol if

And there goes another one

Do we literally have to wait for it to escalate to world war before people remember that actually right-wing politics makes things worse for the vast majority of people that vote for it?

I’ve always thought it was stupid, but maybe the accelerationists were right…

Well we did Brexit in the UK, currently holding the record for longest lasting self-inflicted fuck-up. Hell it’s been long enough that even some of the right wing loons are starting to realise that it might not have been the sunshine and roses they were promised.

However I’m under no illusions that a another 4 years of trump could easily make that look rational by comparison.
