Excellent. Sometimes I’d use the option for my work machine on a Friday only to find the fucking thing had rebooted instead.

Let’s see if it behaves when I do it in an hour or two.

I hope something healthier can eventually emerge. It’s awful that so many people are affected by the situation.

Unless it’s a referendum, apparently.

I’ll take them over the worse evil but that’s not a situation I’m happy with.

Fucking neoliberal arseholes.

I’d be much happier if the US could get its shit together rather than doubling down on fascism. It’s a horror show.

The US is a failed state.

I use Lawnchair for that.

That’s a fair point, now you mention it.

Why?

As in, why admit it? The current US administration is mask-off evil and very little is being done about it. They lie constantly because there are no checks/balances and it’s an idiotic system.

…so why admit anything like this?

There’s always money to be made if one doesn’t stand for anything.

I was making a parallel to another wildly over-hyped technology that has had multiple opportunities to make it when it’s clearly only suitable for niche usecases.

LLMs and “AI” are not useless but the notion that they’ll lead to something significantly more advanced is fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of the technology.

And VR will take off any day now?

You seem very convinced that glorified auto complete will lead to AGI…

At least for me, not for a second. I have distinctive physical traits from my father.

Yeah, same. I use a combination of Linux and macOS at home but have a work laptop running Windows. It’s dreadful and feels like it only exists to make my tasks harder. I never find myself saying “what a useful feature!” but I often say “Ugh, why are you like this?”.

Sure, but if the options are to watch something in low resolution or not at all, I’m picking up the novelisation instead.

I thought it had had that for twenty years?

The inclusion of “fresh” makes this tremendously confusing.

Every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose.

But if we were to tax him he’d… What’s the current lie again?
