  • Lets be fair, no woman can make a guy have an affair…

    The real praise goes to Ethan Klein, for taking down Ethan Klein. Best thing he ever did.

    Much like Jimmy Carr’s old joke. You can say a lot of bad things about Hitler, but you have to admit one accomplishment that if anyone else did it it would be considered such a good thing that it can erase almost anything bad… He killed Hitler.












  • Well for me, my wife had a ton of pictures laying around, and some scattered on google drive etc…

    I basically did a huge scanning project in secret, set up an immich server and surprised her with it. That absolutely is one of her favorite gifts of all time.

    Now as far as doing that with someone that didn’t stay in the same house, on an OS I wasn’t already managing… no probably wouldn’t imagine doing that unless the person was already showing signs of interest in managing something like that… in which case it should be done as a “lets build this together” project.


  • this is all based on the premise that an individual can afford the plethora of products and services on offer.

    That’s the neat part, your access can be dialed down. Oh you can’t afford the normal plan… what about buying in 5 minute increments, what about with ads? They will be able to match you for what you deserve with your current earnings.



  • Sadly I fear worse, the bulk of people will adapt in the stupidest way…

    What’s coming… is obvious. When the AI bubble bursts, there will be an absurd amount more data centers than use for them… and all the hardware is in forms that aren’t going to be convertable into consumer devices.

    What’s going to happen is what microsoft, amazon, and google have been dreaming of for a decade… Remember google Stadia, Luna etc…

    People won’t be buying PCs… they will be buying, thin clients. Your PC will just stream your hardware from a data center. The music and movie industries will be happy because the providers can scan for pirated content… governments may flat out ban individuals from owning personal computers, that’s a security risk they can’t control, they are already looking into bills to prevent personal AI systems. No worries of people bypassing age verification, or running custom OS’s or firmware that can’t be controlled.

    Best of all it’s super profitable, instead of a few grand for a one time purchase, they can hit you up every month… and gradually raise the prices like cable, like movie streaming. Maybe even vendor lockouts… you gotta stream an MS computer to get access to office 365, but you’ll also need an amazon subscription to run some other applications, or games or whatever they locked in exclusivity for.
