Beyond idiocy.

I teared up at the PSP talk. I feel terrible that life requires a level of technology that not everyone is capable of affording and it doesn’t seem right.

Freaky Styley is their funk masterpiece. haha

Why are Americans allowed to invest in a business that would be illegal if based in the US? Why can they be patrons? Idgi

"Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.“

Companies are making decisions based on these things. It's mind-boggling.

I don't think the AI should have the ability to pretend it's something it's not. Claiming it's achieved some level of consciousness is just lying -- maybe that's another thing it s…

I really want all my media players to include this. Cheers doesn't look the same since my 27" CRT died, and watching it through Shader Glass reminds me a lot of the look of that ol…

We did the same. Switching was a cinch honestly - the only thing that screwed me up was some dumb page that returned a bunch of nonsense I was supposed to do to my docker-compose.y…

I’m always thrilled when someone posts something new about Stunts. I had such a good time with that game in college. :)

It ticks me off that bots no longer respect robots.txt files at all. The authors of these things are complete assholes. If you’re one of them, gfy.

It absolutely floors me that children are forced by law to attend school and they don't automatically get a hot meal. That's irresponsible.

It was really the first usable smartwatch in my mind. My absolute favorite thing was that it gave developers the ability to create custom watch faces. I wrote a bunch of them and a…

I'm guessing the author didn't play Cyberpunk at launch -- the cars and pedestrians would blink out of existence if you turned around. I couldn't help but think that Rockstar had f…

Hex tiles are a really smart improvement on the game. I do kind of miss the little trees instead of just the dark green color though. :D I also wonder if the graphics wouldn't make…

I feel super fortunate to be a part of that generation where screwing around at home could lead directly to employment. I taught myself Atari BASIC on my 800 and took a 286 IBM com…

Prisons need to be run by the government and aim for rehabilitation. For-profit prisons shouldn't exist. What's the incentive for a company to rehabilitate prisoners? It'd ruin rep…

Safari in MacOS just shows a screen full of "Scroll down" after the initial "Let's Go" is clicked. :/

I would have bought some velcro strips with adhesive and stuck it to the side of the box. lol

I'm 53 and love Spotify and Reddit's 80s subreddits for music discovery. I love finding new stuff (IDLES, Shame, and High Vis are recent faves) and finding old stuff that's new to …

This is my fault. I finally unsubscribed from one of their annoying pointless emails that I never open this weekend.

I think this is where all the AI stuff is headed. Authors, artists, etc. are suing projects whose models just inhaled their work and generate derivative works and I'm surprised the…

What letdown -- they're unpopulated PCBs. I'd buy Major Havoc in a second if it was ready to pop into my Tempest machine. :)

... until they just take over the moderation of their largest communities and this whole thing ends. I mean what's so magical about the moderation of something like r/videos other …
