See and I disagree. Musk is a piece of shit yes but he’s merely playing the game better for a large variety of reasons.

My point being, the game is not the problem. The problem is assholes. This happens in capitalism. It happens in communism. It happens everywhere. The problem is not the system the problem is assholes.

Adam Smith would be rolling in his grave if he saw what became of capitalism.

To be young again 🤣

Don’t hate the player hate the game

At what point was I defending the system? I make damn good money playing the game and I do my best to lift those around me.

But the system is rigged and I have neither the time or capacity to fix it just like everyone else. It will have to get a lot worse before it gets better.

But to think that you can just airdrop into a different system and not participate in the on youre in? I stand by what I said. Fincel. There i coined the term.

Like we have a choice with society. I love calling peers bootlickers because they are trying to survive and possibly having more success than you.

Hate the game not the player. What’s the economic equivalent of an incel?

Oooh I like you!

TNI is an amazing album my cousin is a huge FLA fan and his fav song is The Blade.

For me, I’m with you on Hard Wired. I love Sex Offender as my favourite song though

FLA without Rhys though… Miss me with that shit.

Ok I’m judging you now.

1. Best fla album
2. Best fla song

😜

Ewwwww

Yes and the point being spending 300$+ to eliminate 10 minutes a day is absolutely hilarious.

Disagree. My experience is they still don’t get everything, can’t do furniture or corners well or under furniture. They’re stupid. They’re expensive and if you really can’t spend 10 minutes or less to vacuum your house daily or every other day it speaks volumes on the type of person you are.

I stand by what I said. More money than brains.

The point is it’s stupid and people who want to automate 10 minutes out of their day are equally stupid

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I have a standard vacuum. I spend about 10 minutes a day vacuuming. Miele has no telemetry whatsoever lol

Killer Mike get off Lemmy! Lol

I’d elaborate. Experiment with drugs. Youth is to experiment do it safely.

I’m 48. I’m going to expend many of you here are white men much younger than me.

Some words if advice.

1. Have kids young. You will never be ready. There is an old expression, “In for a penny. In for a pound.”. Either you like the idea of kids or not. If you do, don’t wait just do it.

2. Romance. African women are 🥰. If they’re part of the Diaspora and like me you tend to be more if an introvert the juxtaposition can work amazing.

3. Don’t forget the forest for the trees. Yes the world is on fire. Yes things are increasingly bleak and hopeless. Enjoy life. You have family and friends and they are still important and mean something. Cherish that.

4. Everyone makes mistakes. What’s important is do you learn from them and how do you recover?

5. Comparison is the thief of joy.

6. Be different. Be contrary. Challenge. If everyone jumps turn around and look at the person telling you to jump but don’t do it blindly.

A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

Am I the only person that still types “command” in the search? It’s windows who is typing “terminal”?

Yes I know it’s a terminal, but it’s never been called that AFAIK. It’s always been the command prompt.

Ms has different releases for Europe due to legal requirements

This is why you have no ads

Of course! I’m GenX and I use it at work and home as well for a variety of purposes but do I **need ** it? Does anyone **need ** it?

I was taking my kids to the dentist yesterday and was listening to the radio with them.

It’s anecdotal and a small sample size but the only people talking about AI are journalists and money men.

I work in IT and the consensus is it is a valuable tool but it really isn’t taking anyone’s job.

For my kids and those their age and younger (15) the consensus is AI can fuck off and it’s responsible for polluting their social media with crap.

Tl;Dr - the only people pushing AI are the money men and the policy makers. No one wants this.

I’m thankfully OoL enough but I guarantee there are some AI backed crypto out there which is so deliciously awesome given the double down on smoke and mirrors.
