Under no circumstance did I expect Trump to gracefully accept a loss. Stone is just stating the obvious.

The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:

A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”

Elon is such a weirdo.

To be fair, there isn’t a whole ton of legitimate reasons why civilians need .50 cal rifles. I wonder if republicans will oppose the bill because anything that infringes on the rights of guns is abhorrent to them. Or if they’ll champion it, because Mexican Cartel’s use .50 cal rifles.

I’m willing to bet it’ll be the first option, because just like the border bill, they don’t want anything that’ll take away the drum they like to beat to rile up their base. If they only like complaining about a problem to scare people, and actively avoid fixing that problem.

Some background on me, I’m a IT geek, I love technology, I love VR, not a huge fan of apple. I couldn’t understand the use case for the Vision Pro, especially given battery life and other odd little limitations. The hardware sounded absolutely amazing, some incredible features, but Apple really wanted to distance the headset from VR, and instead was pushing this weird idea that you’d just sit and use the head in an Augmented Reality style interface for their eco system. Imagine wearing this thing during your child’s first birthday in order to capture a 3d video.

It’s a shame, but it’s a solution looking for a problem. If they would have leaned hard into the incredible hardware to be a killer VR headset too, that may have helped a little bit. But as everyone else is saying… I’m not surprised by this outcome.

I think you can provide lyrics yourself, can udio generate lyrics on its own? I listened to some of the staff pick songs, and they were pretty good. I’m not musically inclined, and I have zero skill in coming up with lyrics, but stuff like this and Midjourney let me be creative in ways I don’t have natural talent in.

I bet Udio is going to loathed by musicians even harder then artists hate Midjourney.

I read that Tesla being Tesla reinvented a ton of very standard components that other car manufacturers have been using for decades. So there are a lot of weird issues with Teslas that you wouldn’t see in a car from an established car maker. It’s Tesla ego which makes them think that they can design component better than a whole industry over decades and decades could.

When the Model S came out, I thought it was the height of cool, but I wouldn’t consider buying one of their vehicles now. I think the only reason they even kinda did well was that the rest of the car makers were slow to start making EVs that looked decent and were priced reasonably. Now that the big boys are in the game, Tesla has been dropping the price of some of their models to try and stay competitive. But their cars have always had quality assurance issues, and their support isn’t decent at all, since they try to blame customers for things outside of their control.

It sure would be nice if the political opinions of an actor wasn’t important enough to report on.

I noticed this bullshit a few days ago on my Win 11 desktop! I found if you go check the settings of the start bar, you can hide the copilot icon in the lower right, and then there’s a check box to enable the lower right hand corner to work as show desktop again. The functionality can be restore to exactly as it was, but what the hell were they thinking.

Enshitification, plain and simple.

Do we know they’re bone conducting? or is this like the head phones on the Valve Index, highly directional and focused speakers which only project sound in a very narrow band spaciously?

This feels like Who’s Line, but “The laws are made up, and the crimes don’t matter”. Please, let there be some accountability for this clown.

I have people in my life that are terrified he’ll win again. I keep telling them the same thing you said, he he lost in 2020 because people who weren’t hardcore MAGA saw him for what he is and didn’t want him to have a 2nd term. Trump certainly hasn’t converted any more voters to his side since 2020, most likely has lost a ton. People just need to make sure they get out and vote, and I think articles like this are meant to make people think it’s hopeless and stay home.

I’ve had right leaning people argue that rich people already pay more dollars into tax systems then he’d ever make in his life time. The more important part is, it’s ridiculous that in generally ultra rich are paying proportionally much less of their earnings into taxes then 99% of people. It’s ridiculous that a single mother just scraping by is paying a bigger chunk then billionaires.

But I’m beginning to realize the logic behind the relevantly poor defending the mega rich is, the relevantly poor think they could be that rich some day, and don’t want higher taxes to impact that fantasy future.

Yeah, I don’t document stuff online. If I see something I’m amused by, I may take a picture of it, but it stays with me. I think this means that when I’m dead, and techno-archeologists are digging through the digital strata, I will not have existed for I didn’t leave a digital foot print. Outside mostly anonymous stuff like Lemmy of course, but nothing posted publicly as my real name.

People have always loved being able to take a photo using a real camera or disposable while at a concert, or while at the Grand Canyon. The two huge changes were putting high res digital cameras in everyone’s pocket, combined with the more recent idea that anyone can post online and become famous. The latter gives peoples mundane lives an inflated importance, which prompts them to share everything they do. Because of this behavior I think people also feel like, “If I don’t have a video of the fireworks, I can’t prove I was there, did it even happen!?”.

I don’t expect this to change much, sadly.

Ever since Ubisoft discovered the recipe of Far Cry 3, they’ve become a one trick pony, making nearly every game with similar or same game play mechanics. I understand they’re a company, and they want to make as much money as physically possible, and that recipe works… but damn it Ubisoft, innovate sometimes.

No, you’re Rico Suave, you’re handsome 😉

People absolutely LOVE that line of logic. “Well if Putin were deposed, he’s just be replaced by someone just as bad!!!1111”. In reality, some people are unique set of skills, and who ever would move into Putin’s role wouldn’t have those skills, and wouldn’t make the same decisions as he would have.

The same thing applies to Trump, he’s uniquely terrible, and none of the other GOP candidates even come close in terms of the type of damage they’d do as president vs what Trump will do. None of those other candidates would unify all the crazy MAGA people like Trump does. So in this instance, he’s singular, he’s terrible, and he really needs to stop being in the spot light, and just fade away. He’s already inflicted more damage on the United States then any foreign enemy could have dreamed of. Another term of that clown would be catastrophic.

When I first read your reply, it sounded sarcastic, and I replied as such. But I don’t think you were being sarcastic. My apologies stranger!

I recently switched to it, and it’s night and day, it saves me a lot of time when I find exactly what I’m looking for right away. I love it!

Thank you stranger, I hadn’t used any special formatting, just copied and pasted. I wonder if it added the weird formatting from an errant character or something. I edited it and I think it’s looking good now.
