I bought a manual from 2015 a few months back, cash in hand, and decided I’m not replacing the head unit ever. I want the car to be a time machine that sends you back to an era that sucked far less.

And then use kobo.gg to upload them to so you can download them onto your Kobo.

These folks missed the window for getting into computer science. The industry sucks now.

The next article will be about how he’s rebranding himself as a born-again Christian.

Good ol’ Woostah.

I love how billionaires act like they’re arguing on behalf of the people they fleece, like they’re all in it together. It’s like a game of Lemmings. The ruling class leads them with rage bait and lies, and then walks them off a cliff when they’re done with them.

Working class people that think they’re in the big money club is as sad as it gets.

I haven’t seen it in ages but it was so heavy for a kids movie. I recall the GI Joe movie being similarly heavy too with the death of Duke. It’s crazy what we grew up with compared to today. I think it helped me be more emotionally intelligent at an early age.

Archival purposes. Movies and shows you watch often; games you’ve bought through GOG or Steam that you want to keep but don’t always want clunking around on a hard drive. I have an 8TB network drive that I throw more ephemeral files on. It also houses a bunch of ROMs.

Basically this. Archiving old games and things that you want to play but you don’t want them to constantly occupy hard drive space. I have an external 8TB drive connected to my router for other stuff I actively use.

Pirate and burn to a disc. I threw my old LiteOn BD burner in an external case. No ragrets.

And now people often do because folks like Elon have done it publicly (twice in his case). Even Germany officially categorized it as a Nazi salute when he did it. We didn’t ask for this mental association and some of us can’t unsee it.

The bean counters don’t seem to comprehend that the effort and work that goes into practical effects is part of the draw for people. Sure they go for the movie itself, but if it’s nothing but green screen the whole time, nothing feels truly at stake or at risk. You can’t convey the same intensity in CGI battles as you can in practical stunt work battles.

It’s similar to how I hate my job as a programmer now that we’re all forced to use AI. “But your job is easier now” - in ways maybe, but part of why I liked my job was because I had to solve problems myself hands-on. I didn’t need a robot trying to solve all of the problems. When you remove those stakes and the learning through building, you remove the essence of what made it appealing for people.

This is action. Showing up to town halls; working to craft airtight legal cases and defenses; using data to fight back like More Perfect Union has in regard to sound pollution and strain on infrastructure. People have to stick around and not simply show up to picket and then go about their day.

How many more peaceful protests are we going to do before learning they don’t work? Start taking notes.

There is no good time for AI slop to hit.

You can get banned from connecting your console to their services if you’re caught using pirated games, or you’ve tampered with the system. There’s ways around it though, and some people don’t care if they’re locked out of services as long as the system still plays the pirated software.

Sony thinking they can just pull a Steam way too late in the game, and with Steam and GOG as competitors 😂

It feels like they’ve been reclaimed in the past few years. My wife and I thought the same thing, but find them actually pretty funny now. The minion memes swept Facebook boomer feeds for a while though and probably still do.
