Actually I was saying that whoever wrote that was being silly for thinking the cat didn’t like them. I can’t even imagine a scenario where text over an image of a cat isn’t accurate. That just doesn’t happen.

“Yesterday”. Most cats take more time than that to adjust to a big change like that!

I lucked out building a PC mid-2025. 64 GB of RAM cost me something like 370 USD.

The exact same RAM from the same shop now costs over 1,410 USD. I feel damn lucky.

(Prices converted from my local currency; electronics in this country are already way more expensive than they should be)

For a more permanent solution:

Just jam it in there hard enough, it’ll do the job.

Other than being pretty (which I fully admit is already a benefit), is this actually doing any good for the environment? Isn’t that just grass?

You mean to tell me you don’t have a CNC machine at home? Even the most barebones of homes must have arc welding gear stashed somewhere, right?

Now you’ve ended up in the Lego builds part of YouTube.

Is it really though? That is not acceptable behavior on personal machines either.

Just yesterday I was required to use a Windows 11 PC for a university thing. I double-clicked a PDF and it opened in Edge by default… Which then REFUSED to close until I go through the whole onboarding process. Accept the privacy policy (literally no way to refuse). Log in to MS account (skip). Import data (skip). Import data from another browser (skip). Pretty sure there was another step or two. Then, and only then, I was able to see my PDF or close the window.

Each step took more time than it should because the option to skip is always hidden with some dark pattern. This whole thing cost me valuable time, and guess what, Edge wasn’t the only MS bullshit I had to waste time on in that time-limited lab class.

Edge is a FUCKING TERRIBLE browser, and if you don’t think so you haven’t used it, or you have Stockholm syndrome. Chrome/ium sucks too but it’s nothing compared to Edge. (And Firefox sucks as well, there are no good browsers, but Firefox appears to be the lesser evil IMHO. I’m also partial to Vivaldi, but I haven’t used it in some years)

I’d say I’ll boycott GTA6, but that doesn’t mean much, I wasn’t going to get it anyway.

This is obviously illegal…

The kid’s question in the last panel really explains a lot.

It also makes me question a lot of morality.

Can I downvote you for saying something which, regardless of if it’s true or not, definitely should have been left unsaid?

Women bring their own soap.

(This is a joke but also I kind of almost believe it)

(Also this joke if kind of stolen from the game Life Is Strange)

I thought girls had ballsacks without the shaft.

Eric Cartman, is that you? There was an episode where he tried to kick a girl in the balls. It did not work.

One thing I think other’s haven’t mentioned yet: US internal politics specifically make headlines worldwide, certainly in the western world. That’s not true of German, Swedish, Israeli, or any other country’s internal politics. This is probably because USA is arguably the only real remaining superpower, or something close to it. Regardless of the reason, US politics are uniquely loud and everpresent, which I guess is why they were singled out.

Edit: I once saw a subreddit’s mod post explaining this better than I did, but I can’t find it at the moment.

Your pedantry is acknowledged and appreciated, but everyone knows exactly what they meant including you. Languages evolve and words’ meanings change and evolve over time.

Merriam-Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ai

Quote, some emphasis mine:

artificial intelligence

[…]

specifically : a program or set of programs developed using tools (such as machine learning and neural networks) and used to generate content, analyze complex patterns (as in speech or digital images), or automate complex tasks

Kind of exactly like that. They’re not capable of very meaningful conversations, but they can be convincing for a minute or two. Plenty of examples and info on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot

Edit: namely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA is a great example.

This is what some not-very-good police do in some places. Arrest someone they don’t like and then dig up some ancient law still on the books that they broke on a technicality. Usually if such a thing goes to court the court strikes it down, if the justice system is remotely functional. But where’s Lemmy’s courts?

Please please tell me this is parody.

I am having a poor user experience with your comment right now. You say you are “an UXD”, but there is no way in which “UXD” starts with a vowel sound, so it should be written “a UXD”.
