It was probably prompted to encourage Lincoln and then OP switched the search text.

The bullshit lemmy tells me I see on Windows, I do not see. I have never once had a Windows issue that has come up on here.

They got a prehensile penis instead.

Did you actually read my post?!

Subsidised? Don’t think you know what Habit for Humanity does.

Anyway, I’m not baggin’ on young people for rent ills. Were you able to read, I’m saying they should be extra pissed off.

Little off topic, but I remember my college roommate and I watching a TV ad around '91 or so, “Oh no! Ground beef again? What will I tell my husband!?” We. Were. Screaming.

“Fuck you bitch! We’re on our last can of boiled carrots and frying flour in the last of our oil and topping it with the last of our ketchup!” We were picking pecans off the roof and frying them in the last of our butter and seasoning salt. (A fine meal!) We were scheming on swiping a duck while we picked black walnuts at the campus pond. I’d get dressed nicely and shoplift our Sunday meals.

Kids today: We. Are. Literally. Dying. McDonald’s is SO expensive!

It’s not that we olds think you deserve to suffer because we did, but… we did… Kinda hard to entertain modern complaints.

Don’t start me on rent though. That place was the attic of a 107-yo house that was literally tilting over, held together by wires in the basement. Landlord was not a smart man to begin with, utterly senile by the time we met him. As in, worse than Trump senile. Not even trying to be funny. Still, $250/mo.

$600 in 2025 money, exactly our Habitat for Humanity mortgage today. Please fucking call Habitat and merely ask when the next meeting is! It’s almost certainly not what you think. One phone call changed my life.

This will piss you off. I got turned down for a lease in the 90s because landlords wanted you to take home 3-4x the rent. If you couldn’t make rent in 7-11 days, you were a poor risk.

You and I are 1-in-50 purchasers, if that. Nobody gives a shit if AI is in the game.

Go grab a random dude on the street,

“Hey! Just one question? If you’re considering buying a video game, is the fact they used AI in making it a deal breaker?”

Nobody cares. I’m with ya. Don’t fucking buy it, I won’t. But enough other people will that it won’t make a difference.

You can tell most everything you need to know about a company by looking at the CEO. That’s because they’re the leader, they set the tone, contrary to lemmy beliefs. Happy or unhappy employees? Look to the CEO. Solid earnings, year after year after year? CEO. I ask at every interview, “What’s the CEO like?” BUT…

A) Ultimately, CEOs do what the fucking board of directors wants, or they get fired, hence, the golden parachute. Would you take a monster job knowing that you could be forced to fuck your industry reputation and not hedge that bet? Nah. Force me to do something stupid yet needful? I want paid when you fire me on purpose for doing what you said.

B) I think you are in an echo chamber around here. Most CEOs are great folks, you only hear about the major fuck ups at the major companies. Also, the decisions the big dogs make that lemmy tells you are unpopular, really aren’t unpopular in the wider world. EA Games still exists after all.

everyone will have to 'fess up to using it eventually as AI will become "involved in nearly all future production.

True enough! No reason not to say it up front, right?

Look y’all, not 1-in-20 people give a flying fuck about AI like we do on here.

Most people won’t run an ad blocker.

Reminds me of Fox Mulder eating piece after piece after piece.

“He ate a whole pie in that fashion.”

If that’s how management is, I’m not shopping there. Not like I buy new clothes anyway, but if I did!

No way. People like me purchase a steady supply of standardized machines at a fair cost. Bigger companies than I’ve worked for want a lease agreement. We pay $X for Y units, you come in and swap them in 3, 4, or 5 years, rinse and repeat. We also need robust tech support, both from the manufacturer and wide user base. No way I’d suggest management purchase Frameworks.

Framework is awesome for individuals as you can upgrade! No one in their right mind wants to hassle with upgrading a fleet of hundreds, thousands, or 10’s of thousands of machine. You talking about pets when business requires cattle.

Great question! And BTW, thousands upon thousands of those “old” cattle are available on eBay from sellers who make a living moving off-lease machines. I’d never buy new. LOL, I bought servers that way from savemyserver! Boss came by while I was setting up a new server. “Is that new?!” “Nope.”

Funny enough, job before last I was buying all Dell. Next job, all X1 Carbons and the occasional Mac for the devs.

My IT experience is fading fast so can anyone explain this bit?

block the access of users connected via VPN

I’m running a Digital Ocean droplet on the other side of the Pond with my own, static IP. How could a site detect I’m using a VPN? Imgur blocks me if it’s on. How do they know?!

A real man shouldn’t tie himself to a single woman. A real man should be fucking everything he can get his hands on.

There ya go!

Phtevan is back!

I collect Casios. Most get into my hands with dead batteries. Never had issues fixing them up, so I’m not sure what you mean by “disposable”. All standard screws, pins, etc. ?

So? Don’t fucking buy it! Has that never occurred to some y’all? If the rest of the world had my purchasing habits we’d already be looking at Depression 2.0.

Lemmy celebrates ANY thing not mainstream.

Also lemmy, “FUCK YOU FOR USING A WEIRD LETTER!!!”

Sxan should come out and say, “I’m a trans, queer, neurodivergent, furry, drag queen communist with Tourette’s Syndrome, ADHD and autism, so I have to replace ‘th’ with ‘þ’ or I’ll suicide. I like pictures of little girls in sexy attire. It’s ANIME, you wouldn’t understand. And if you could mix animals into my sexy anime? Perfect! Also, I have stuff up my butt 24x7.”

They’d be the most popular person in this place.
