The whole Trump presidency was filled with Trump abusing vague powers because when it was written, they assumed that the president wasn’t a asshole.

This new law plus Trump is a cluster fuck.

A rocket crotch can push her to a 10/10

My bidet does not shoot at my whole ass. It only laser focuses on certain parts, which I dry with toilet paper.

This is also assuming the Genie isn’t a spiteful PoS that will just kill the Asker. There’s no rule against that.

Nah. Our stupid ass government only recently started hiring hackers who smoke weed. But even then, there’s too much stupid red tape.

“Both the NSA and the DOD have a ton of talented hackers, yet when it comes to actually performing disruptive cyber operations, for some reason we as a country are just frozen and scared,” Caceres says. “And that needs to change.”

He points to ransomware actors, mostly based in Russia, who extracted more than a billion dollars of extortion fees from victim companies in 2023 while crippling hospitals and government agencies. North Korea–affiliated hackers, meanwhile, stole another $1 billion in cryptocurrency last year, funneling profits into the coffers of the Kim regime. All of that hacking against the West, he argues, has been carried out with relative impunity. “We sit there while they hack us,” Caceres says.

And also

It also doesn’t help that the Republican Party have outright praised Russia, which means they’re already inside.

I type my search into the post and then usually some kind person finds me a link and calls me a asshole

Gonna sound racist but deal with it.

I constantly meet asian developers (Singapore , India, China, etc) with this edgelord personality. They come to American conferences and meetups, say some wild sexist shit, and someone has to politely let them know not to.

Some backtrack. Some apologize. Some literally freeze up and pretend like it didn’t happen.

Oh you’ll see. It’ll be super massive. It’ll be amazingly punishing!

It’ll be like… 0.2% of their gross.

Then it’ll spend years in legal battles to become 0.05%.

Can the president declare them traitors and no longer fit for duty, thus ousting them physically?

Without outing yourself… Can you share where?

Or even a population size.

In the big cities I’m in, they’ve become deserts.

People use Amazon instead of the mall because they can still afford the Temu-level garbage Amazon sells.

I mean a few reasons.

• Pricing is better on Amazon vs mall. I can get a Gangsta Luffy T-shirt at $12 vs $20 at hot topic
• Inventory is significantly bigger. Outside of clothes, I can’t imagine not finding the exact online version and compare
• Malls are kinda ugly now. Many are indoor and just wall to wall commercialism.
• People suck. Naked dude stealing stop signs and angry Karen about the take a dump on the escalator.
• Driving vs ship to door.
• Both have temu-level garbage, but it’s cheaper on Amazon.

I dunno. Steam did it well enough. I was buying cheap games for years. I could get a kick ass GOTY game for like $5 while GameStop was still selling it used on consoles for $20.

Pretty much. It’s not something most of my circle of casual gamers know about. Even the hardcore gamers don’t watch live and usually catch a recording of something specific.

Peak humanity

Sometimes war is brought to your door.

Recent ones: Gaza. Ukraine.

During the first year (Jesus I can’t believe I’m saying this), my colleagues in Ukraine thanked us for the work we had and disappeared. I saw him post in a gaming blog comment about Elden Ring dlc so I think he’s alive.

Most of the world wants to be left alone.

Lemmy: why aren’t people using Linux? It’s so easy

Also Lemmy: webp huh?

Lemmy folk forgetting that not every person cares enough to switch OSes.

If you ever work tech support even at a basic level, you’ll see. It’s not even boomers or genZ. I helped a grown ass human who was my age at 40yo how to install a Firefox extension.

That could have been me a few years ago. I was still using teamviewer up until 2020 to connect to my desktop from my laptop. It’s so handy.

Fortunately it was when I started learning about open-source solutions

Samsung appliances. Fridges. Washing machines.

Got them as part of the rental unit. They’re very new looking. But every month is some new mess up.

God I would replace them if I owned this place.
