Or get injured and end up with a bunch of medical bills. Or about any number of other things that can go off the rails.

Dude from NVIDIA: “please stop talking bad about AI. It’s hurting my feelings.”

You think corpo content is limited to political subs?

Yeah, I don’t understand why someone would want or need to use an app for Reddit. Reddit is a website, just use a browser.

If you’re on mobile, use “desktop mode” if the mobile site starts giving you lip. Or just pre-emptively switch to it.

I use mobile browser in “desktop mode” for stuff like this.

I’d be surprised if it was only 15%

it doesn’t work without an app.

You can’t use it in a browser? Does that mean that you can’t use it on a PC?

IME community centers are more like gyms and activity centers. But I suppose they could vary by region and by individual community center.

No. College is: expensive, heavily skews young, has a lot of homework, has tests, and generally represents a significant time commitment.

Realistically, I should probably put more effort into finding a suitable recurring volunteer opportunity. Something that is based on personal values would presumably help with finding like-minded people while also engaging in an activity that is inherently meaningful to me.

The fucking floor displays in aisles that create chokepoints, and then aisles that have a bunch of popular shit all together creating a traffic jam. And don’t get me started on the lack of manned checkout lines anymore. Self-checkout is adequate as express lanes (i.e. limited number of items, limited produce, no alcohol) but sucks if you are buying more.

I try to go later in the evening to avoid the rush.

I’d probably be open to the concept of a secular church. Not for dating, but just for platonic socialization and community.

One thing that concerns me is the wear/tear limits on SSDs. Under normal replacement cycles it isn’t such a concern, but it becomes an issue if you have to extend it out.

Yeah, in theory in a decent world with benevolent actors this probably wouldn’t be so bad. But we do not live in a decent world, and benevolent actors are far and few between.

Older games will play via emulation on a damn phone. They’ll practically play on a potato.

Might be playing Balatro and such rather than the latest iteration of AAA whatever, but I mostly play games closer to the former than the latter already.

No thanks, I’m good.

And if anyone wants to know why American tech companies are gavaging us with AI, why NVIDIA and Micro$oft are “begging” us to stop talking shit about AI, this is why. It’s another tech race.

This drone delivery stuff just seems so gimmicky. Belongs on /NotTheOnion

Lock-In effect in general: If your friends, neighbors, even governments all use product x (i.e. Whatsapp) and expect you to use those too in order to communicate with them It is very difficult to switch to something else because the people you want to talk to have to be convinced one by one to give it a try. (it’s possible, just very hard to do)

One way to combat this is with bridging / interoperability that allow for partial transitioning. This obviously isn’t applicable to many, many things. But a chat program (e.g. Whatsapp) is actually an example where it is applicable.

OS is a much more important distinguishing feature than brand. So even if the article is about brand, I am adding my own observation to it pertaining to OS.

And?
