Dude - I just need you to type in the admin password so I can install software or fix whatever is wrong that you don’tunderstand. We really don’t need to spoon.
I wouldn’t actually mind if they actually vetted the software, but they just type in the password and install whatever I click on. I once changed the name of an installer for a new version of QGIS to “IT malware installation test” and they didn’t even notice.
Since you’re here - we really need to find a way to spike Dad’s YouTube algorithm. I saw his feed and it was all Fox News and OANN stuff.
My even-more-pedantic take is that poisonous is correct, but imprecise. There’s lots of ways to be poisoned. Ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact, and, yes, injection. But it’s all poison.
A poison is a harmful substance. A toxin is a poison created by a living organism. A Venom is a toxin that’s delivered subcutaneously.
Poison is the parrallelogram to venom’s square.
My Mom always throws out old cables like a week before I head over there and need that specific cable.
I cut my teeth on bulletin boards. We actually ran a 2-node bbs with 2 dedicated phone lines out of our house.
I absolutely remember Trillian. It’s what convinced me to finally make an AIM account to talk with my “mainstream” friends who didn’t have ICQ or IRC, since I wouldn’t actually need to run any new software.
You don’t know if you’re sane. Millions of people aren’t aware of their mental illness and manage to live normal lives. LLMs can trigger delusional states in vulnerable people that have never experienced them because they are essentially delision-generating machines.
That’s disrespectful.
Restaurants should offer free food to those heroes for a few days for protecting Americans from foreign criminals.
Then they can release all the pictures they took of them when they removed their masks to eat.
Not having to keep pace. They just get the competitive cars banned in the US, then charge so much fucking money here for their shit products it’s worth losing the rest of the world.
Or just wear a hoodie and mechanics gloves and don’t drive up to it.
“You need to use the app to reserve a space for the public park.”
1/1/however far back the wheel scrolls before I click the year.
And it’s distressingly common for it to under-report my age - stupid march of time.
I have an old garden shed I converted.
I’m looking to replace the Bambu printers, but they’re what I have for now.
When I watched Breaking Bad, I was mesmerized by Walt’s descent from a man who just wanted to help his family into the monster he became.
When I watched it the second time, I realized there was no descent. The monster was there from the first frame, but I had been used to seeing the main character as essentially good.
Brian Cranston’s performance gets praised all day every day online, and against all odds it lives up to the hype.
Yep. I pirated when I was young because doing things “proper” was more difficult. Then they started having reasonable fees for services that were easy to use without ads.
But now the prices are outrageous, the ads are back, and everything is so fragmented. Piracy is the better user experience again. I was about to set up a NAS and start sailing again, but now storage prices are jumping.
I may just start going outside.
Yeah. My conditional formatting makes some of my Excel tables look like I’m defragging my harddrive.
That’s just eating them with extra steps.
Could just be Milwaukee or Cleveland. They kinda froze in the 80s.
A bunch of social media accounts with their name and address may start attacking Scientology and right-wing crazies.
Absolutely. PEBKAC is real.
But as a good user, it still annoys the hell out of me.
