They don’t help if you are suddenly being shot at by bullets and fish… Not to mention latiku chucking spineys.

Lisa needs braces.

Federated meme generator.

Or soda. Or sugary drinks in general.

Death has seen way worse, if my stint as a paramedic is anything to go by.

I’m 40+ and still love spinners :)

MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)

Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)

First hard drive Linux: Debian.

Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian “unstable”) for a long time.

Can I please have some evidence?

Or how Batman stole kryptonite from Lex Luthor in the storytelling masterpiece “Batman v Superman” by auteur director Zach Snyder.

Every time the sun rises he lifts 1 boulder.

The whole point is that this is not new. Or I might have given it a try. They nailed it the first time. Why not try something else new?

Why would I waste time on a worse copy, though? I can still watch the original when I like.

I think the point you’re missing is modern cameras (especially smart phone cameras) already have AI and don’t “capture” what they see accurately.

In fact photographers going back into the earliest days of photography have been modifying photos with all the tools available to them.

Generative AI is just the latest tool in the toolbox and still requires skill and creativity to get good results.

This cartoon is stupid and the artist is a Nazi, but let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The “Uncle Iroh” progression.

The big issue is that by adding more and more features, a browser has become an operating system and so complex that you can’t hope to make a new one from scratch.

The last “new” browser engine (that wasn’t built by a corporation) was KHTML which was stolen harvested first by Apple for Webkit and subsequently by Google for Blink. KHTML then rotted without support.

The most recent attempt was to build Servo in Rust. Mozilla “ran out of money” (they depend on Google for their existence), and it’s already rotting.

Gonna respectfully disagree back at you. You don’t have to get a $100 crapsung, but most people whose work depends on a good phone still don’t need a $2000 top of the line phone.

An iPhone SE or Pixel ?a phone is more than sufficient for almost anyone anything more I’m probably going to call opulence.

While I was single I had multiple side projects for my own amusement.

More recently, I haven’t had time to scratch that itch and the urge has been getting worse to the point that I’m now doing a bit of side stuff during work hours (but not on work hardware).

I’m thinking of buying a Thinkpad w530 for such “geriatric” tasks

“Bleeding long term hires” are reading the tea leaves. Better to get a new job when you have one, finding a job when you need it is much harder.

Talking about tech startups:

Depends on the startup. If they have a good team, they might get acqui-hired. If they have any patents or other IP, they might get acquired (for not much). Investors get the bulk of these types of exits, and the founders and employees get screwed.

If the startup doesn’t even have that, they may just wrap up the operation and go out of business.
