Ahhhh I was kinda wondering why there was an educational advent calendar 😅

LOL looks like a German advent calendar, not even a book!

Fake news!

It’s easier to ingest than the way I speak ;-)

Just griping a bit about what’s probably more of a design/branding change than anything.

I think fakespot is promising tech that we desperately need more of.

Can’t hurt to have it in their hands, hope to see more server resources ;-)

Sorry… busy day and I’m going to need a real computer for this 😅

RE Free… nothing really, just being bitter. I’m not a huge fan of a lot of the little tie-ins like Pocket, but I respect the hustle… if not the business plan.

The Amazon review thing they bought is Fakespot™, check it out if you shop on Amazon. Here the Ai nonsense is just some summaries of the reviews it digested… not inherently bad, but the whole experience is painfully slow. Still. Well worth checking out if you haven’t.

Shady dude gets a 📌 for now. Sorry. Time.

If you check out Fakespot you can’t miss it. Have yet to try the browser integration, although I have enabled it for some reason…  

You gotta love that there are benchmark for that… The company that can’t even get free, right.

I really like their Amazon reviews thing that they bought… I bet the shady dude that had all the fucking people finder sites was in charge of that cause it’s got the same kind of fucking cheesy-graphic-load-screen… basically, the only functional piece of software they had at that point cause they hadn’t touched it, and then they went an AIed it up…

Here’s a new idea, why doesn’t everybody in the fediverse post their favorite privacy enhanced Firefox rebrand:

Hopefully a few thousand of them were the ones responsible for making the website dog shit 😅

Comeon 0.0001%! Let’s get those last 5 people who know what an extension is but were holding out for…???

Yeah… These articles are like reading the tally marks on a prison wall. Let it go.

You guys 🥹

Look the beans were great, but our own bender-hookers-and-blow meme. You shouldn’t have ☺️❤️❤️❤️

The return of the Disney vaults… I admit I’m concerned, but I’ve watched so much soulless bullshit at quality levels that do nothing but make the flaws easier to see… it’s not as much of a concern as it used to be. We’re whitnessing a spasm, it’ll pass. Good content comes from people that give actual fucks about what they are creating. They will always want you to experience the best version you can.

I’m not even sure how long MQA took, but the audio world came around and developed a lossless format that runs on commodity hardware and features a wide selection of popular… sound.

Yeah, we’re boned.

It’s definitely nice to have exactly the copy you want. Plus (and decidedly more on topic) you can rip any extras you want… although the naming scheme is a bit of a headache, that’s the part that really delights me.

Good news! You can pirate high quality blueray rips from the internet and since you already own a license to the content it’s not even a crime ;-)

Obviously AI! Just look at his hands, they are normal sized.

True… but probably much more substantial in the theater. Maybe it was just because it ran for like a year, but more than any other film I remember hearing Titanic from the hallway while walking to see other movies.

Truly just the relevant 3 seconds. Thank you stranger :-)

I’m trying to remember if the movie actually had that sound effect… anyone?

I’ve only recently become aware of the issue and that’s the way it feels.

But in the absence of a definitive test I think folks are concerned that they will be stuck with a CPU that continues to degrade prematurely. That seems like a valid concern.

I tried to order some components on Digikey a few months ago and I’m still mentally scarred. Probably did a few hundred of those things over the course of 2 weeks.

IDK Boeing is doing a good enough job in the air, maybe it’s time to move on to ground based targets.

TSA would just set up a checkpoint-checkpoint and add a few hours to our departures… yeah, I think this is going to work for everyone!
