I didn’t preclude continuing to take action. I voted for Harris and will continue to vote for the most sane candidate in each election, primary and general. Same for down ballot.

Never once said the plan was to wait it out. I simply said the insanity perpetrated by the previous generations looks to be on borrowed time — an obvious assertion probably, but an assertion nonetheless.

Maybe my intent is cleared up now.

I’m optimistic in the future generations, yes. And you’re right, at any given moment, there’s a bell curve that can describe the way people are for an event or a trend or an age. I suppose I see the younger generations as moving the curve along an axis toward a better world.

I may very well turn out to be wrong. But I’ll be dead by then.

Of course it’s more than just the boomers. But once those two generations are dead and gone, they take their lack of empathy and their unfettered narcissism with them.

And I know a few boomers who got plenty of their bullshit from those sites because those sites were just a circlejerk of Fox News lies.

I’m not saying younger generations won’t also have a collection of morons as well, but those generations grew up with this nonsense and they will forever remember the kind of country and world that was left to them.

Boomer generation will be dead soon. And Gen X isn’t too far behind. This bullshit is already time-limited.

Adobe can fuck right off. They have become a completely shit company.

Wow, a CEO who doesn’t buy into the hype? That’s astonishing.

I, for one, cannot wait for the bubble to burst so we can get back to some sense of sanity.

Edit>> Though if Baidu is investing in AI like all the rest, then maybe they just think they’ll be immune — in which case I’m sad again that I haven’t yet come across a CEO who calls bullshit on this nonsense.

AI will have its uses, and it has practical use cases such as helping people to walk or to speak or to translate in real time, etc. But we’re decades away from what all these CEOs seem to think they’re going to cash in on now. And it’ll be fun on some level watching them all be wrong.

Lutris + GE-Proton + umu works. If you use GE-Proton as the runner, Lutris automatically uses umu to launch the game which launches within the Steam Pressure Vessel container.

You can manage GE-Proton downloads using Protonplus. The latest version, last I checked, is GE-Proton9-15.

Haven’t used anything related to Wordpress in 15 years. Seems I’ll make that a permanent decision now.

It’s simple really. Be honest and reasonable to the judge, and they will likely be reasonable back especially if this is a first offense. Give only as much information as requested, though, never offer information unless you’re certain it won’t be used against you.

It’s the most toxic instance I’ve ventured into (and admittedly have this account on). People spread lies and vitriol here about as much as Twitter and Reddit.

I long for the day when CEOs and companies get their heads out of their asses and stop pushing this “metaverse” nonsense.

Price controls are the only viable solution if monopolies aren’t broken up and if collusion is rampant effectively removing competition. While I know of no direct evidence of collusion between grocers, the effects seem quite clear to me when nearly every grocer seems to be taking in record profits while many groceries are still 2-5 times higher than just five years ago.

Also, if this issue is the litmus test for some people on whether they would vote for Trump over Harris, those people should have their head examined. While Harris lacks some specifics here, Trump has nothing — plus he’s a lying, misogynistic, sociopathic convicted felon — so yes, I agree, Harris is the obvious choice.

The problem is that you’re still not learning, then. Maybe that’s your goal, and if so, no worries, but AI is currently a hammer that everyone seems to be falling over themselves finding nails for.

All I can do is sigh and shake my head. This bubble will burst, and AI will still take decades to get to the point people think it is already at.

No shit. Senior devs have been saying this the whole time. AI, in its current form, for developers, is like handing a spatula to a gourmet chef. Yes it is useful to an extremely small degree, but that’s it…for now.

Fuck it. Both.

Nice.

Exactly. You were much more articulate than I, with my comparison, but it was effectively the point I was trying to make — it’s not a public forum at all and it’s now overrun by a cesspool of nonsensical garbage.

Since Musk took it, it’s more like an arena where the loudest and dumbest have the microphones. It is neither a haven for free speech nor a forum where legitimate discourse takes place. It has become the trash pit of the internet.

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

Time to end it! In….how many years, you say? sigh

If those principles help bring about another Trump presidency, then they wouldn’t have done you much good.
