I don’t think it’s going to pop anytime soon. The American stock market is so far removed from reality, it may as well be entirely made up.

No, I just think it’s ironic given the community this is posted in.

When the normies are trying to invest in AI, they’re the last to invest and know to throw money at it

They are also the largest group by far. Doesn’t really mean much aside from the fact that adoption is now widespread.

Nah, pretending to torture a piece of software to rile up idiots on the internet is a green flag.

Yeah, unfortunately a lot have moved to closed spaces like Discord.

I guess I will continue to hang out around here. There aren’t many places on the internet left for such a broad range of topics and conversations with real humans. The sad reality is that the specialist forums are dying and being replaced by closed platforms and the large aggregators are getting shittier every day. The Fediverse seems like the only worthwhile investment of my time.

Burning everything down right now feels better than putting in the work to build something up over a longer period of time.

My car has a hood ornament. If I keep it exactly on the outside lane marking from my point of view, the car is driving in the center on most roads. But tbh it’s not something I pay much attention to. I drive within my lane and some minor sway to the left or right is perfectly acceptable.

They kept voting for their dictator until he was powerful enough to kill off any opposition and then refused to do anything about it. The blame is on them as well.

The people using this service are the ones who already left Twitter.

I’d choose any other company over Google tbh.

Preferably before my Pixel 6 is EOL later this year…

No, there’s pretty much zero chance. They were lost when the borders were redrawn after the war and who knows where it all ended up. Some are probably the heirlooms of a different family now.

Most of my family were refugees during WW2 and lost pretty much all their belongings, including some truly priceless pieces and properties that are still talked about. I do have a pretty substantial trove of documents and photos dating back to the 1850s though, this was all they were allowed to carry.

I have no idea who any of these people are and whatever this is about and I’m not sure if I even want to know.

I saw Ryan Gosling at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly

If you have single pane windows, the foil needs to be on the outside of the window or you run the risk of shattering the glass. If it’s a double of triple pane you can place it on the inside.

I did something similar when I last visited the US ~15 years ago. I uploaded an encrypted backup of my phone to a server in my home country and reset the device. I then downloaded and restored the backup when I arrived at the hotel.
