you absolute madman

Cool video I found of a guy named Wally Wallington building some Stonehenge-style monoliths in his backyard - single-handedly with no modern tools.

Discord is as much spyware as anything else. Its efficiency in using my computer’s resouces in order to log everything about me, build a dossier on me and sell me out at every opportunity is not a consideration, as I view it as something to be avoided like Meta, et al.

That said, Electron does suck.

You can tell the ones who are plants because they’ll all be repeating these lines. I mean we mostly know anyway, but this is the shit they’re gonna be parroting every chance they get.

And already the messaging is coming out “if the lesson Dems take from this is they can move to the left they’re going to lose and lose big” like what the actual fuck.

And so, more of the same from the establishment.

Mississippi is terrible. Driving through it, even if there were no road signs you know the second you arrive because everything goes to shit. Fuckin’ state looks like nothing more than the post-apocalypse. Decrepit buildings, roads gone to shit, cops hiding every 10 miles to ticket you and billboards with Bible verses on them everywhere.

So of course they’re still fighting like hell for the billionaires that are pissing in their stupid faces.

I think one important detail that’s missing in the OP is the reason you would have not one but two reserved floppy drives. It was so that you could copy files from one floppy to another and duplicate floppies much more easily. Also, when installing games that came on multiple floppies, you could have one drive going while you switched the other one out. For this reason both A: and B: ended up reserved for floppies, as many people had more than one.

Wow, TIL, that is bizarre.

Oh, good to hear they’re dialing the energy back. Ever since they ramped up to 13 TeV, reality has been breaking down and I haven’t enjoyed it at all.

The hilarious thing about this, if there is one, is that Republicans are all fucking criminals and grifters and a not-insignificant portion of this half a billion dollars is going into pockets everywhere.

Nah, remember how he kept going on about the size of Arnold Palmer’s dick? Then there was that one time where he pantomimed giving a blowjob on the mic. Yeah that was all 2024.

I did this, and you’re right - no ads. 👍 Thanks a bunch, I’ve saved your comment so if I run into one of these again I may hit you up!

Yeah, they’ve done this on this one particular site that I like to read, one old (hilarious) celebrity blogger who made a new home on [redacted]. [redacted] is pure shit. I dunno exactly what they’re doing but the ads they serve up are largely local rather than third party - and they’re served up so aggressively the site is all but unreadable on my phone. So ads are crazy in-your-face despite having adblock on the phone itself and a Pi-Hole! Just to keep reading the guy I like I had to set up a shortcut that loads it in reader view to bypass all the bullshit and fuck knows how long that will last before they somehow figure out how to block reader view.

Edit: I probably shouldn’t be giving them ideas, lol.

Yes, well, my use for Ollama is solely as a plugin for Home Assistant. But you can wrap llama.cpp with whatever you want or use the half-dozen semi-popular competitors! My point is just that there are no tools that are exclusive to Windows, they’re all on Linux.

Now I have a leftover Windows micro-PC running a local LLM model, so I can be less dependent on GPT, as long as time isn’t a factor…

Might as well go all in. LM Studio, Stability Matrix, Comfy UI, Ollama - everything’s native on Linux.

I’m embarrassed that I ever thought Libertarians were ever anything other than highly regarded.

Yeah, you gotta remember too, 54% of the US reads at 6th grade level or below. 21% are functionally illiterate. 1 out of every 5 people you lay eyes on here cannot read and more than half do not read well. It’s a deeply, deeply stupid country but it’s been so financially successful that it’s convinced itself stupidity is a virtue.

(And I know I’m sure as shit missing things. )
THEN you have the orange moron and his crap. Which you all voted for a second fucking time.

One thing you’re missing is the Electoral College, which means that morons in Wyoming have votes that count three times anybody else’s. Because 49% of voters (who are themselves only 65% of the population - so 31% of the population overall) voted for him a second time, and that’s assuming that his quote about Elon Musk was just offhand bullshit and not outright admission of voting fraud:

“He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers… And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good. Pretty good. So thank you to Elon.”

We can shit on you, it’s what makes us great. You can’t shit on us. It’s what makes you terrible.
