It’s like reading a cartoon.

Wow, groundbreaking research!

I saw tourist@lemmy.world at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

It’s not necessarily a 1:1 person-replacer. Instead you can squeeze a smaller number of employees to do more work. I suspect artists and animators are losing a lot of work. And we’re still in early days. Even if LLMs don’t improve much, our implementation will.

I read the post, but with this kind of title people actually should just skip the article and ridicule the clickbait title. Because it’s intentionally selling the opposite message of the actual post. And that opposite message is not worth reading in detail.

Don’t they have a web app too?

There’s no reason to think it’s conscious. That’s just advertising for [product]. My Product Is Conscious.

Books about history, philosophy, and science.

Neither. I say either.

I’ve been using bandcamp and normal music playing apps. Always hated Spotify.

Okay, Newfoundland.

Strictly speaking, DEI absolutely does NOT cover all “minority” hires. DEI is when we say, “We need more people of group X regardless of all other factors.” I really doubt they married their wives for the sake of diversity. So they’re nit DEI.

I like the austere layout

I still use it sometimes.

Nice. Maybe now Microsoft will respond by offering non-subscription options inventing a new proprietary industry-standard file format so their bloated ransomware remains mandatory.

This is the answer.

Hire Steve Bannon as a marketer?

They already disappeared around 2017 when Steve Bannon’s racist troll armies flooded every single social media site or app. The auto-immune reaction killed the host, which I suspect was the point.

Why am I the unemployed one?

I’m very happy with my EndeavourOS installation. It’s arch-based, but with easier installation and some apps to help maintain the system. I’ve had it on my T16 for more than 2 years now.

Fedora is probably the most obvious choice though, since you’ve already used it.
