I was about to argue with you and toss out a bunch of ad hominems on you, but then I looked it up and by golly you’re right. I’m one of the 10,000 today it seems.

Everyone is a tester. Anyone who says otherwise is from Venus or Mars.

Was in Ireland a while back and I hit a guy with my rental car. Just a love tap. Nothing serious and no one was hurt. I was pulling out of a lot and it was really hard to see and I was looking for traffic and inching (centimetering?) out. And I look and there’s suddenly a bloke there, getting pushed a little. He smacks the hood of the car and yells something, then waves his hand at me and keeps walking.

In the States that would have been a lawsuit.

1990 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe.

Office chairs and sushi.

When cars first started being mass produced it wasn’t just Ford doing it. There were like 50 manufacturers, big and small.

Okay now let’s ask it to write anti ransomware. My guess is it will help with that too. And then the balance is struck and the obvious becomes obvious: AI is a tool to enhance all aspects of our lives. But instead we seem to only hear about the ways we should be fearful and worried about it.

Philosophical mustings?

I must have read something because I replied to it. What made you think I had some fortune tellers knowledge of OPs expertise.

Don’t radarr and sonarr download better versions automatically? Seems these measures were drastic.

Sounds like you’re left with almost no modern conveniences or technology. I don’t mean this disparagingly, but I am curious how you live your life and ensure you are truly not using any of these companies or their subsidiaries, or even those shitlist companies if they are a white box supplier of someone else not on your list. Or even if a mom and pop shop down the street is using technologies, software, or appliances from one of these companies to run their local business…

Doesn’t seem possible in reality. Or at the very least seems like a full time job that would get really futile after a while.

Can I get a link to that Carl’s Jr commercial?

Thank you I’ll check that out. Interesting concept.

There is essentially no way we are the only ones in the entire universe. It would have to be the most astounding and amazing luck for that to be the case…. Vanishingly small, might as well be zero, chance of being the only ones. The universe is an absolute monster in size. There is no way for our monkey brains to even fathom how big it is. We need abstract numbers to even talk about it, which make it so anything that could exist most likely does.

However, those extraterrestrial peers of ours may be so far away that we might as well be alone. Even if we traveled for millions of years and kept our warring civilization from destroying itself, we may only explore a small percentage of this one single galaxy. Even if we managed to catalogued the entire thing, there are still 200 billion more galaxies out there. Our alien buddies may be on one of those that will soon blip out of existence due to universal expansion before we could get there, even if we traveled at maximum speed, never to be seen or heard from again.

When we talk about actually attainable and achievable exploration goals, the chances of other intelligent life existing get sort of really small. That is what I find to be not terrifying, but somewhat depressing to think about.

I’m getting so exhausted with the constant outrage in every goddamn feed in my life.

Interesting thought, but I wouldn’t say these are dependent on each other at all.

This is an adorable show of optimism.

Teleportation, because the only upside to invisibility is subterfuge. Not that I am some saint who denies ever wanting that, it just seems like teleportation would be just as good at any use case invisibility has. It would also have lots of very life changing above board benefits too.

I use this https://github.com/TechnitiumSoftware/DnsServer

Works great so far. Have it running on a PI with DHCP too. Multi vlan/subnet support through single NIC. Solid.

I save so much water since I started working from home.
