Dude, please just try to educate yourself before you type dumb things. Like just a little bit. Not all devices “spy” or collect telemetry at all; and this is trivial to prove being a sysadmin on a network. Plenty of peripherals fetch content from the internet but don’t expose network servers (low surface area for attack vector), don’t analyze the network map, and have no sensory peripherals to even “spy” in the first place. Yeah, some things do where you are the product, but not all.
Thank you, I was just coming to the comments to say this. I’m so tired of this annoying panic hype.
I get it. I ain’t laughing, but I get it
What is this awful music? Who looks at the original song and thinks “damn, it needs some nasally chick’s awful voice talking over it”.

I am not defending AI art, but I think saying it isn’t a skill is disingenuous. I’m not talking low effort ChatGPT prompts, but diffusion pipelines with LORAs — it *does* take skill. I wouldn’t say it’s comparable to human work, but it has its place as part of the creative cycle *if used appropriately*. The problem is that we are oversaturated in low-effort work where prompting is the sum-totality of the effort — and THAT isn’t art. When used well, it’s just another tool like photoshop IMO.
As a Canadian Citizen: how did this person even see the doctor, let alone more than once? In Ontario, seeing a specialist can take up to *years* now. It’s almost impossible to believe they could see them once for the tooth extraction, and then the surgery.What magic is this?
You should never be on the mat around someone else who is climbing — this is a rule in any rock climbing gyms I have been in across multiple countries. If the dumbass ran across the mat, either he or his parent is responsible for not paying attention. I’ve seen a climber get a compound fracture from trying to avoid a little shit running underneath them, and they will likely never climb again because of bad behavior. Kicking them and being fine is genuinely the best outcome
Where can I order whatever it is you’re smoking? Whatever it is sounds like a wild ride. There is a huge chasm of difference between physical and digital distribution. Digital distributions can be retroactively revoked at any point, physical media can’t be. A publisher would have to literally steal the copy from you. The game has to be playable on the media it’s delivered in by all consoles’ standdards, so you will always have v1 of the game on hand, even if updates get disabled in the future.
Weird, I thought the objective of jokes were to be funny
Yep, 100% this. Tired of hearing about ‘Murican politics, and how much it keeps slipping through my filters. I miss just seeing memes and funny content on Imgur.
As a Canadian, this seems like a bad call to make. Canada is already facing an economic crisis due to immigration, and many of its citizens wanting deportation of unskilled laborers. Between that and the US threats of annexation (or let’s be real, possible impending war), I can’t say we would be the safest place to come to
Unexpected weird al reference
Man the US is whack. In Canada we just use interac which is (mostly) feee, and provides instant and direct bank-to-bank transfer. The only typical cost is if you exceed a certain number of transfers per month (and that’s bank dependent)
So we are finally at the point in social media where the scripted content is being acted out by animals. What an age to be alive.
Huh, Switzerland had this about a decade ago. Nice to see Walmart in the US get with the times. Sadly we don’t have this in Canada. Instead we have pretty much exclusively Indian workers eyeballing you scanning things at self checkout, and if you scan too fast they go and hand check everything slowly “for your convenience”, defeating the purpose of self checkout.
Not saying it's perfect, but it would at least enforce informed voting -- and doesn't suppress anything or anyone since they can retake it
Having a test to know both parties and platforms is nowhere near the same idea -- it'd be better likened to that of a driver's test.
I mean, really. It's the information age. Make them prove they understand it, and give them the materials to learn with infinite retries.
I don't understand why they don't just make you pass a quiz to be allowed to vote, that show's you understand all platforms and their goals.
I legit thought #1 was a picture of Gabe Newell
I was wondering where Jamie has been since Myth Busters ended
Is there a proper name for this type of effect to find other similar videos? Best I can think is "compression artifacts"
I'm not sure if this was a joke I missed, but changing the file extension does not convert the file's internal format
Came here to say this. Glad someone else was noticed this!
It's as much "hacking" as guessing a password would be. Doesn't mean it doesn't require skill; its just a clickbaity buzzword being misused
Not to downplay it, but downloading a website is not hacking. It's just simple use of tools and light scripting.
First thing I noticed from this is that they aren't wearing masks in their selfies
Instructions unclear; farted under a blanket, but couldn't get the bread to rise.
