Dead bird site

At first I thought this had something to do with some kind of weird Canadian political ritual.

Check out your local roasters! After you ask what toothpaste they use, they might also be able to help with your coffee problem.

I laughed out loud at 'ZOOP'

It's yet another reason why we need urgent reform of privacy laws.

I'm sure Congress will get right on that.

I am surprised that some of his usual audience joined a platform specifically because of him.

You're surprised that a privacy and security advocate and essayist with a large online following would have people who would take his advice on which social media platform is best for security and privacy?

Exactly!

I don't hate TikTok because of its short videos, I hate it because the app is an assault on privacy and potentially a subversive tool to influence the public.

I rented that game 4 times and never made it past that level. I'm convinced that no one ever did because it was an unfinished game where they just made the last level they had impossible to pass.

Me.

I followed him from Twitter to Mastodon, even though he didn't exactly endorse Mastodon. If he were to endorse a platform I wouldn't think twice about joining.

Half Life 2... The price was right!

Until they restructure the way OpenAI did.

You've gotten a lot of good suggestions, and this comment might get buried but I wanted to let you know that I was there 20 years ago. The future looked bleak, I had a shitty job that was sucking my life force away... one day as I was walking into work through an alley I saw someone had left a shopping cart there. I had the thought that I could just grab that cart and keep walking... turn my back on my former life and just live my way. I passed that cart for 3 weeks... then I realized that I either need to grab the cart or find a different plan for my life. I then looked at my options, found a career path, and then started working toward that plan. It was about 3 years of very hard work, with very little social life. But I stuck with my plan, got a better job and stayed on that career path. There have been setbacks, but looking back those were just blips.

 
 

I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.

I'm also curious why the comments are turned off for this article unless it is a paid ad for Microsoft.

 

I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I'm surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I'm prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I'm the only one.
