“Steam gauges” on car/plane instrument panels. Yeah, digital displays are cheaper to manufacture and less prone to failure, but they kinda suck the fun out of it.

GNOME spawning 3 new DEs every time they have a major version update

This may not fit perfectly into the that category but i think it’s cool how Lazarus Jones exists in the media in some capacity in most of the GTA games. One of the best threads of continuity throughout the series.

Can’t wait to waste 100 hours of my life trying to reach the top of this trackmania map

A message from the government of Alberta

The one on the left is definitely more haunted, though.

Probably have a few cards running the displays and the rest of them mining some sphere-themed memecoin

Alright, but if I end up getting stuffed in a goo-filled pod so the AI can suck my energy out through a massive plug in the back of my head, I’m gonna be pretty upset.

I think this is a good enough reason to actually put in some effort to phase out ipv4 and dhcp. There shouldn’t be a way for some random node on the network to tell my node what device to route traffic over. Stateless ipv6 for the win.

Sucks that we live in the one timeline where AI is guaranteed to become an agent of coercion and exploitation, and do a better job than any human at optimizing the system of inequality.

Since we’re on the topic, does anyone know if there’s a Fargo community in existence somewhere on Lemmy?

Call me traditional, but I find regular AUR to be chaotic enough.

I never really thought about it before, but it seems obvious now. Trekkies and open source tech folks would have a massive overlap, and Lemmy kind of exists perfectly within that intersection of utilitarian principles. So of course we would all find each other here.

Glad Apple and Google are getting the boot, but you can be certain the best interests of the consumer were not part of the consideration.

For the past couple weeks it’s been Flower Moon by Dooms Children

For the record, I’m not super worried about AI taking over because there’s very little an AI can do to affect the real world.

Giving them guns and telling them to shoot whoever they want changes things a bit.

I don’t think an algorithm is responsible for the fact that most sane people are generally against genocide. People being pro-Palestine in this specific situation is a humanitarian response and should not be causing any amount of concern because it is the morally correct position here.

HOWEVER, the fact that we just witnessed the fucking letter to america go viral on tiktok, wherein a soul crushing amount of people publicly stated they agree with a fucking jihadist manifesto, is cause for a massive amount of concern. Tiktok definitely needs to face consequences for letting that happen. We also can’t excuse the audience for that type of behaviour. Whether it came from a deliberate propaganda campaign, or a sketchy algorithm, or just mass stupidity, audience members need to be better. If you read the letter to america and you think bin laden was right, you’re a moron, and you’re contributing to the problem.

And the data harvesting app is nothing more than a stripped-down browser with the company’s color scheme slapped on it.

Spicy chicken sandwich. It’s the only thing on the menu as far as I’m concerned. Except at McDonald’s, theirs is prodigiously mid.
