Where were you for the last decade? I’d think tiktok is starting to wind down by now, but me and my shaking stick wouldn’t know that.

No grape lady? Or did I miss it?

There’s no guarantee anyone on there (or here) is a real person or genuine.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a baked-in feature of meatspace either. I’m a fan of solipsism and Last Thursdayism personally. Also propaganda posters.

The CMV sub reeked of bot/troll/farmer activity, much like the amitheasshole threads. I guess it can be tough to recognize if you weren’t there to see the transition from authentic posting to justice/rage bait.

We’re still in the uncanny valley, but it seems that we’re climbing out of it. I’m already being ‘tricked’ left and right by near perfect voice ai and tinkered with image gen. What happens when robots pass the imitation game?

‘Where’s mama?’

Wouldn’t it be ‘simple’ with hall effect sensors? Those seem to be pretty commonplace nowadays.

I really dig your stance, support developers where you can. How do you feel about TV shows though? Does the knowledge that most shows use product placement (baked in ads) alleviate entitlement in this case?

Yeah, but providing that push at the wrong time… Maybe I just presented it the wrong way. I think there was some snootiness to how I advocated it. Like I knew more than them, which might be the case… but it’s still alienating.

Maybe we can wait until they ask.

Man, Hungary has already implemented this law with the reduction of gathering rights. The government was campaigning along the lines of speeding past Europe… I guess they weren’t lying.

I guess I am happy to see other countries facing similar threats, if only to realize that many Hungarians are just people like them, barely able to do anything in the face of such coordinated attacks.

In Hungary it is more about ‘inside enemies’ than weeding out migrants. That propaganda doesn’t work anymore, because the government needs to bring in extra workers from the far east, as nobody local is willing to work for such wages.

Stay on your toes and place your hate in the right place, if you need to hang onto it. They make it sound nationalistic, but I think it’s just plain old class war.

Just put on some moosic.

Let’s start with feces, John Wayne.

Only being used because someone is paying you to do it, then snuffed out after an extended death throe.

I will copyright some schematics so everyone can enjoy the thrill of piracy to really drive the point home.

Naw, you’re right. There are still ways to get a decent windows experience, but it will fall to the domain of power users.

I personally see MS not really caring about their windows users. With more than enough revenue from enterprise to keep them going for decades, they will lose grip on gamers and older casual users, who remember windows before the marketplace and preinstalled adware.

With all the flavors of Linux (and a proper walled garden like Apple), I’m thinking Windows will follow Skype in the next decade or so.

Just based on all the usual hashing between EU and Hungary, this is closer to a stern look than tying funds to rule of law, if you take that as a spectrum.

In a twisted way, I feel that these abusive laws will only quicken the downslide of the Fidesz regime. One of the main reasons they are still kicking aroubd is that they are magnificent in non-confrontational control. Any and all protests so far, the popo were super hands off. They had civil uniform police who would get a bit handsy, but I’m not sure they were police or just the private army of the government (Valton security).

So with all that in mind, if police start getting heavily involved in the protests, my money is on agression levels rising. While it’s horrible for the people, the government will lose any last remaining bit legitimacy they have.

I really hope it doesn’t come to full-on aggressive confrontation. There’s a pretty decent chance Fidesz will lose their supermajority next year through the remaining, heavily kneecapped democratic institutions we have left. Exciting times.

By not switching to Na based batteries and keeping a lid on Li mining.

But they had a good run. God knows I stayed with windows thanks to my skype account being accepted. But even those day are bygone.
