Until the last panel, I didn't even read that character as Jewish. But rather just a hate filled fascist wrapped in the flag of whatever religion is convenient to their current goal. It looks more like trump than a sewer rat.

NegativeInf ,

That's a deal at twice the price.

Nah fam. Gimme that OG Daffy Duck in 2033. Now that's my jam.

I'm from Texas and read it as a server he is on.

The ones in Texas all roll coal and good luck if one comes up behind you in the fast lane.

The point being, they are charging 200 bucks for hardware that is superfluous and low end for an incomplete software experience that could be delivered without that on an app. The question is, are you going to give up your smartphone for this new device? Are you going to carry both? Probably not.

"It can do 10% of the shit your phone can do, only slower, on a smaller screen, with its own data connection, and inaccurately because you have to hope that our "AI" is sufficiently advanced to understand a command, take action on that command, and respond in a short amount of time. And that's not to even speak about the horrible privacy concerns or that it's a brick without connection!"

Everything about this project seems lackluster at best, other than maybe the aesthetic design from teenage engineering, but even then, their design work seems a bit repetitive. But that may be due to how the company is asking for the work. "We wanna be like Nothing and Playdate!!" "I gotchu fam!"

To address your point about e-readers, they have specific use cases. Long battery lives, large, efficient e-ink displays, and the convenience of having all your books, or a large subset, available to you offline! But when those things aren't a concern, yea, an app will do.

Like with most contemporary product launches, I simply find myself asking, "Who is this for?"

NegativeInf ,

Option 3: insane ramblings and drawings of a madman. But you know, magic. Think the creativity of that one fucked up kid you went to highschool with.

NegativeInf ,

Yes, but like 10 years ago. That was probably the last time I ripped out chunks of hair and snapped off teeth trying to configure a half supported broadcom wireless card.

NegativeInf ,

No, you aren't fat honey, just impotent.

I wish more forms of travel were based solely on bistromathics.

It's funny how much of a one track mind he has. Participate in/purchase a decently operational company, attempt to rename it x, ????, profit. We are currently in the ???? Phase again.

I.. I don't think they are generating the history on the fly for each individual playback. Probably just generating images based on the concept, iteratively tweaking until it conveys the message that is desired by the artist. You know. Like most artistic works. AI is another tool.

Not to say training data being copped from hardworking artists is good, but an ethically trained AI for image generation for this context is not necessarily evil if it is used in the context of executing the artist's vision in the way they deem necessary and sufficient. Relying on outside people can often cloud the vision of a project.

That being said, pay artists for their work, license if you want to train, and credit/royalties should be paid until copyright expires or the rights are purchased outright for a competitive compensation.

So why not say fascist strong men are manipulating the Jewish peoples for their own personal benefit. Aka, to not be voted the fuck out/thrown in jail.

It's not like anyone's out here trying American presidents for war crimes either. Lots of assholes get away with shitty things. It's kinda like, the defining feature of all of history.

NegativeInf ,

Nah, it's make money. Being evil is just another perk!

I dunno. I asked for smart water and got a poor implementation of quicksort in a glass? I'm not even sure how it did that, but I am impressed.

Don't worry. When you reboot, your kernel will have magically disappeared!

If a man ever introduced himself to me like this, I wouldn't say no.

It's got what plants crave!

I had to complain to my school multiple times during highschool like 15 years ago for the same shit. Texas public school. I remember Atheism being blocked for being a cult then, which was just.. infuriating as a tiny atheist.

Nintendo goes after individual emulators, which are now even easier to track on an app store. Takes them out, potentially extracting user information for further Bowser sized rulings against the lot of them.

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs (mashable.com)

On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically....

Elon? Is that you?

Fuck diamonds! I want a man that gives me a fucking GAGG Lumogarnet damn it!

As someone from the USA, specifically in Texas, it's hilarious to watch people lose their minds when you tell them Mexicans or Brazilians are Americans as well.

It's like some people don't understand geography.

Honestly, get three dudes out there. Put them in HiVis and give one a clipboard and one an angle grinder? No one would even bat an eye.

And now when I get gas I gotta listen to them hawk some shitty podcast from a washed up morning host. No! I don't want to know about Hoda Kotb, I just want gas!

Sounds like you won some money and +1 to his vote count. Oh? They were just being divisive and knew exactly what they were doing? Color me surprised.

NegativeInf ,

Too many legs.

Can I get some engineers to press the "modernize, weatherize, and connect our power grid to the rest of the country" button so we don't oscillate between people freezing to death and keeling over from heatstroke in their own homes

"Money laundering is a financial transaction where criminals try to hide the source, nature, or proceeds of their illegal activities. This process is also known as converting "dirty money" into "clean money". Money laundering can lead to serious criminal offenses and threaten the integrity of the financial system. "

Idk. It kinda works in this case. The money would be illegally gotten if coming as donations from churches. But because churches have a legitimate reason to want to buy bulk bibles, this "hides" the illegality of the activity. So maybe not true textbook definition, but the spirit is there for sure.

After reading a bit more you find this.

The Bible’s website states the product “is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign.”

“GodBlessTheUSABible.com is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Ventures LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates,” it says.

Instead, it says, “GodBlessTheUSABible.com uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Ventures LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.”

While the internal logic of the original post makes sense if you know nothing but the headline, this really is just more grift. It's like he's not even trying to campaign.

The son doubled in size but that new dad aged like 7 years in 3 months.

I can remember where I put shit faster and more easily than I can remember arbitrary names, tags, or my own typos. But if you put all the documents in a fucking folder I can find that AND IT CAN STILL BE TAGGED AND SEACHED FOR. The problem comes from business environments using technology that isn't a fucking iPhone and then I'm having to teach a 25 year old how to use a USB drive. And that's not an exaggeration, I literally had to do that today.

NegativeInf ,

Yes, it's the social media and not the collapse of ecosystems, stagnant wages, lowered life expectancy, and no where to live.

Lol. He gives chodes a bad rep. Call him what he is. A christofascist misogynist grifter.

How to Figure Out What Your Car Knows About You (and Opt Out of Sharing When You Can) (www.eff.org)

Cars collect a lot of our personal data, and car companies disclose a lot of that data to third parties. It’s often unclear what’s being collected, and what's being shared and with whom. A recent New York Times article highlighted how data is shared by G.M. with insurance companies, sometimes without clear knowledge from the...

Anyone that says it's all great is delusional or trying to exploit a market inefficiency.

That's rather disappointing. But then again, so is the rest of reality.

Just throw out your name. You never call yourself by it, and they have these nifty little cards they give you to remind you of who you are and what you look like!

Here's hoping the lawyers don't take the lion's share of it.
