What is it you would like us to say?

I know! Now I’m dead! 🤣

Van Gough had one ear, so he’s missing one audio cable. Beethoven was dead deaf, so he is missing both audio cables. Wanda was in love with the character Vision, and he died, so no video cable for her.

Edit: typo 🤣

I got asked this question once, and I answered: either working here or going back to school. I graduated with my masters in 2024. But I appreciated that they got me thinking of my future realistically.

If I were to ever be asked this again, I would go more abstract: so many things change on a day-to-day basis, that trying to realistically map out years at a time is not practical, but what I can say is that I am eager to learn, and I love exploring new opportunities for growth.

They probably wouldn’t like that answer either, but at least it’d be honest and not fluff.

It’s been a hot minute, but wasn’t what you’re referring to done by a third-party app? The original consoles had no real concept of a mouse by default, let alone copy/paste from highlighted text. Any highlighting inside an app (e.g. vi/m) was buffered by the app and not the OS?

Old really is how you feel. I feel old now (48, going on 49), but only because of how my life turned out and certain events that I have to deal with (divorce, single fatherhood, getting colonoscopies, etc) by myself. I certainly don’t have as much fun as I used to, and that definitely plays a huge part in feeling old.

All that to say that if your dad is having fun, “not acting his age”, then good for him! I hope he gets many more years of that before shit has to get serious.

To directly answer your question: a 36-old is supposed to act however they want to (within moral reason of course), so long as they and the people around them are enjoying it.

It’s real fucking simple: let people turn it on if they want to use it (any feature, not just ai), and let everyone else leave it disabled by default. The fact that they have to poll users for what they want shows how tone deaf they are to begin with.

Edit:

Also:

The company argues that users should decide how AI shows up in their digital lives, rather than having it embedded automatically across products.

This is a lie. How many times I get that stupid AI summary on search results.

I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone, and while it never fully goes away, it can get better over time. Shit like this sucks, and what you’re going through is normal; i.e. there is nothing wrong with you.

Keep doing what you’re doing. You got this!

The issue this is referring to is because the user cannot paste into a text field. And the user was not rude about it either.

So instead of fixing the actual problem, the developer went nuclear and removed the validation. A dick move in my opinion given the developer’s attitude.

~It’s more sad than funny. 🤷‍♂️~

It was down earlier today. Came back up right around when I posted this.

And since there’s helium inside, the kids can pop a hole in the bags and inhale the gas for funny voices.

It’s all subjective and based on your personal level of interest. From a technical standpoint the time needed is based on how fast your computer can compile everything, how fast you read and understand the instructions, and how much effort you want to put into it.

So yeah, a weekend could be reasonable.

Or they’re bored. I’ve done Linux From Scratch before. It’s fun. It’ll teach you a lot about building and maintaining a distro.

Do it. Take a weekend, and indulge yourself.

Ahem.

Did you do an ollie down the aisle too? Because that’d be pretty bitching if you did.

🤙

Peel it off like a freshly completed 3D print; crackling noises and all.

Not just the men, but the women and children too!

Look, it’s not that we don’t want to see a doctor, we are just looking for ways to optimize the experience. So if we wait long enough we know the doctor will eventually come to see us.

Fixed:

I could have gone at least three more days into the new year without having known about this.

_Goddamnit.
