Yes and the point being spending 300$+ to eliminate 10 minutes a day is absolutely hilarious.

Disagree. My experience is they still don’t get everything, can’t do furniture or corners well or under furniture. They’re stupid. They’re expensive and if you really can’t spend 10 minutes or less to vacuum your house daily or every other day it speaks volumes on the type of person you are.

I stand by what I said. More money than brains.

The point is it’s stupid and people who want to automate 10 minutes out of their day are equally stupid

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I have a standard vacuum. I spend about 10 minutes a day vacuuming. Miele has no telemetry whatsoever lol

Killer Mike get off Lemmy! Lol

I’d elaborate. Experiment with drugs. Youth is to experiment do it safely.

I’m 48. I’m going to expend many of you here are white men much younger than me.

Some words if advice.

1. Have kids young. You will never be ready. There is an old expression, “In for a penny. In for a pound.”. Either you like the idea of kids or not. If you do, don’t wait just do it.

2. Romance. African women are 🥰. If they’re part of the Diaspora and like me you tend to be more if an introvert the juxtaposition can work amazing.

3. Don’t forget the forest for the trees. Yes the world is on fire. Yes things are increasingly bleak and hopeless. Enjoy life. You have family and friends and they are still important and mean something. Cherish that.

4. Everyone makes mistakes. What’s important is do you learn from them and how do you recover?

5. Comparison is the thief of joy.

6. Be different. Be contrary. Challenge. If everyone jumps turn around and look at the person telling you to jump but don’t do it blindly.

“If only women could be young tight assed boys” thought the Republican lawmakers.

A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

Anecdotally it’s scary the amount of process knowledge IT workers are supposed to document because the business will just shrug and go “I just copy the file to this folder and it ends up in our general ledger”

I have said for years something similar but if you’re in IT you should be mandated to spend a part of your year working on helpdesk and providing Operational support requiring on call. Too many CS wonks now in IT who come right from school into development and/or management pipeline.

Ms has different releases for Europe due to legal requirements

This is why you have no ads

I haven’t seen it mentioned and granted I’ve not played it but I’ve watched both be played and Blasphemy 1 and 2 seems really, really good.

Of course! I’m GenX and I use it at work and home as well for a variety of purposes but do I **need ** it? Does anyone **need ** it?

I was taking my kids to the dentist yesterday and was listening to the radio with them.

It’s anecdotal and a small sample size but the only people talking about AI are journalists and money men.

I work in IT and the consensus is it is a valuable tool but it really isn’t taking anyone’s job.

For my kids and those their age and younger (15) the consensus is AI can fuck off and it’s responsible for polluting their social media with crap.

Tl;Dr - the only people pushing AI are the money men and the policy makers. No one wants this.

Didn’t know the world excludes all of Africa except Nigeria where homophobia is still very much a thing. Hell my ex was Zulu and my current girlfriend is Kenyan. Homophobia is alive and well in everywhere that was conveniently left our? Lol

Nope its in CoM I’d need to watch it again.

This was by far and large the best throwaway gag that I’m sure many people missed in “Children of Men”. There’s a shot near the beginning in the dystopian city and there’s a pig shaped balloon floating in the sky. I’m not sure how many people caught it when the saw the movie.

What actually is consent? /s

I feel dirty even joking that’s a possibility
