I am as well. I feel this is all about tanking the Western allied system. And the US is the best starting point and has probably had the most resources thrown against it

He’s been told. Over and over again. Either he doesn’t understand the consequences or doesn’t care. Both are entirely possible. He’s an absolute idiot. But he’s still answering to people. Why do those people want this is what we should be asking.

They would put an accidental bite from the wrapper of a McGriddle over this country.

The AI doesn’t work fine if it can only tell you there’s a shooting while a shooting is taking place. It’s a waste of resources and on its face is stupid and useless. It might be working as intended, it might be working to its capabilities. But that doesn’t mean it should be there in the first place.

I don’t blame the AI for not doing better here. I blame it for being snake oil and I blame those in charge for buying it and I blame society for constantly creating this fucking scenario of doing anything but what is needed.

$6.50/dozen for the regular eggs. Surprisingly, only $10/dozen for free range 18pack. This is in Idaho at Albertsons (not the cheapest but not a high end grocery store)

They “can’t” but they constantly do with no repercussions or backlash.

It sounds like you’re saying Garland should’ve “gone rogue” or broken the law to take down Trump>

Not in the least. He ignored the law and most importantly, justice, in the process of appearing apolitical. He waited forever to appoint Jack Smith, he didn’t file charges for sedition or treason against any members of the Trump cabinet when it was obviously needed to at least bring details to light, he didn’t go after any of Trump’s kids (or Kushner) for illegal monetary gain when newspapers had plenty enough details to do so, and he let the Hunter Biden lawsuit continue after it was obvious they had no real cause. All in the process of appearing apolitical. Republicans would have had a hard time getting better outcomes from having one of their own lackeys in that position.

He doesn’t just run the department of law and order, he runs the department of justice. And we got none of it during his tenure.

Merrick Garland deferred to decorum at every turn. Knowing full well decorum is not an option in organized crime.

Just because a suspect twisted a political career into his organized crime does not mean it shouldn’t still be treated like organized crime regardless of the political optics.

You have a point, but when I was a kid we at least made sure the slang came from black people first. I don’t think anything good can come from white kids out there making up words.

I wonder if they will support Chromecast

Probably not because of Stadi…oh wait…

At home, I use PiHole and AdGuard to block ads. I also use Firefox on my desktop with ublock origin plugin. Sites do break sometimes. But here’s my thinking. If a site is using or forcing an ad in such a way that the site is broken for me, I go to another site. That one didn’t deserve my time or business. My bank website works just fine. So does the power company, gas, etc. The important stuff is fine. The rest has competition.

I will note that my auto insurance website broke between an email link, the trackers in said link and the website. I messaged their IT dept in a complaint form and they said they would change how the email system tracker works to prevent that in the future.

Inside every Texan is 30-50 feral hogs…

hired a new guy and gave it to him

That is your answer to this entire scenario. That’s what they think of you and I’d take it as an invitation to find a new job. Hopefully you’ll find a better fit. Currently, it sounds like things are good enough that they’d be a decent reference for your next job.

Can’t write good jokes and is racist. AI is Republican for sure.

You can run your Jellyfin connection inside of Kodi which has a ton of configuration options like the volume control.

I guess we’re just creating more Boomers now. Boomers 2: Illiterate Boogaloo

The classic sloppy reporting tactic of “dozens”. Somewhere between 1.5 and 33.3 dozen I guess?

I’ve been pretty excited about what I’ve been seeing from Affinity. You’re right, they’re not there yet. But they’re closer than anyone. They need more money and time and they will hopefully get there.

I want to point out, because I see this chart or something like it a lot. Adobe has an absolute monopoly in the professional design space. None of these programs can remotely come close to the creative suite if you’re doing more than tinkering. If you’re making memes or doing some personal image manipulation, you can get by with GIMP or something. If you’re creating professional art or creating files for print or publication, you need Adobe. It’s scary that one corporation holds so much sway over an entire industry but they definitely do.
