Hooray for crime!

You can’t make observational comedy about being a young and hungry comedian/writer when you’ve spent the last decade being wealthy and out-of-touch.

If he was still clever, he probably could’ve threaded the transphobia needle and either figured a way to make it right or made it so funny that enough people would enjoy it regardless. But now he’s cranky and spoiled by success so he’s just going to get angry, which is even less funny.

… I’d have two nickels - which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Wait, sources are supposed to be credible? I thought the joke was “yes this is an article in an actual* newspaper that is so absurd it seems like it could be satirical”

*for a certain definition of “actual”

I know I shouldn’t be surprised by how unhinged they are but they still somehow manage to shock me.

As much as I hate the AI-gens, this is probably a good thing after that poor kid got talked into killing himself. I assume Google et al do similar already.

Now, if the cops react to being called for a person in crisis by tazing somebody, that’s a different problem.

The libertarian “don’t tread on me” wing of the Republican party is hilariously quiet.

But they make it up on volume!

MS is also trying to be the one-stop-shop for people wanting to access AI-gen stuff through an abstracted provider-agnostic interface.

I wonder if Android Wear wouldn’t work as an OS basis for this - lower power requirements, probably allows black-and-white screens. The problem there is that Android Wear is absolute hot garbage that can’t decide if it’s stand-alone or companion to your phone.

Why is not just targeting raw AOSP instead of Google Android not considered? It seems like you could use modern hardware with that… is it the lack of Play Store that’s the dealbreaker?

Even Twitter agrees, NFT stands for No Fuckin’ Thanks.

So as somebody who has avoided Win11 just because I use a taskbar in a configuration that Win11 doesn’t support (docked to the left edge of the screen, no grouping, full text labels) what’s the reason other people are avoiding Win11? Something about ads?

Because on the “windows login” thing, I actually like that part. Having automatic cloud sync of my documents and config across machines through OneDrive is handy. I agree it shouldn’t be mandatory, but it suits me.
