Proton's doing a fundraiser
  • private/self-hosted smtp servers i imagine. it just doesn't strike me that these email services that offer free inboxes would be any good for privacy concerns (proton mail, tutanota, whatever). but they're good to sign up for shit i suppose.

  • Y'all people always go "be (nerd) gay, do (nerd) crimes", but then a britbong makes a video whining about it and y'all suddenly forget about your favorite mantra
  • these takes are weird, Somerton was being cited as an authority on queer topics outside of the youboob sphere, which makes his takedown a bit more bigger than a beef between online types. dude was not only a plagiarist, he was also a known falsifier. it's just plain old academic dishonesty, the sort of thing that would make the news if this had happened on an actual campus. we're now in an era where bonafide pundits are taking fucking video essays at face value, B-list celebs like Neil Gaiman find out Hbomb uploaded a new video hours after it gets posted. Somerton's channel was going to be his platform towards building a movie studio ffs. we're in a new world where youtube is mainstream and things that happen there are now felt in meatspace.

  • Drink The Rich.
  • i bought the thing because the cans look kinda cool tbh, not even the tea shit, the sparkling water which is virtually indistinguishable from any other sparkling water brand except 3x more expensive. it's rare that i come across liquid death on the shelves anyway so it's not like something i'm going to keep buying. it's just a novelty item mostly.

  • Anyone else here have boomers in your life that keep buying new tech shit that they don't know how to use?
  • maybe not in the states, that official banking app supports android versions all the way back to Android 6.0, the last android version supported by the OP5T is 10, so on that regard it was fine at least. you'd be surprised at how far back you can go compatibility-wise without breaking stuff with android's first party compat libraries.

    god if he was using a 3rd party app I would have fucking showed up at his doorstep at 12am and force him to update all his credentials.

  • Anyone else here have boomers in your life that keep buying new tech shit that they don't know how to use?
  • my dad also does this, and ngl it freaked me out a little bit when he decided to stick a banking app on an old oneplus 5T that didn't even get security updates anymore, what's worse he strongly refused the idea of me gifting him a newer phone, even a cheap-ish one. like i can afford it, god it's no big deal.

  • Fellas, is it leftist to not eat a person and also not fuck your sister?
  • insofar as jesus was crucified in order to deliver humanity from sin, god gave up his own son, which is reflected in the ritual of the eucharist: jesus' blood and flesh gives sustenance to his church. i think it's a cool ritual personally, i'm not sure if other religions have the sacrifice of its own prophet as a foundational belief.

  • Millennials kill generational framing
  • yeah they noticed there wasn't a significant difference between zoomers and millenials, which why would it exist, they're on average a decade apart, it really isn't a huge unsurmountable gap. spongebob has been on the air for far longer than this, so we mostly consumed the same cultural artifacts during our formative years. i'm not as cynic as to say it is completely useless, but the gaps between generations are arbitrarily short and thus they become meaningless

  • Millennials kill generational framing
  • I think (white) boomers did have a significantly different experience compared to every other generation irt to access to material wealth, but I believe this is strictly US phenomena lol (Mexico doesn't have this overwhelming conservative slant among old people, at least not in electoral terms). Then again, it is significant enough as to not be a completely useless I suppose.

  • Redditors are the dumbest, most credulous idiots to ever walk the Earth
  • I haven't been able to extract a single useful piece of code from ChatGPT unless I also carefully point ChatGPT to the correct answer, at which point you're kinda just doing the work yourself by proxy. Also lol at the guy voluntarily uploading what quite possibly is proprietary code. The other part about analyzing memes shouldn't even need addressing, if ChatGPT's training dataset is formed by online posts, then it's going to fucking excel at it.

  • Redditors are the dumbest, most credulous idiots to ever walk the Earth
  • I think it should be noted, that some of the members on the board of OpenAI are literally just techno-priests doing actual techno-evangelism, their job literally depends on this new god and the upcoming techno-rapture being perceived as at least a plausible item of faith. I mean it probably works as any other marketing strategy, but this is all in the context of Microsoft becoming the single largest company stakeholder on OpenAI, likely they don't want their money to go to waste paying a bunch of useless cultists so they started yanking Sam Altman's chain. The OpenAI board reacted to the possibility of Microsoft making budget calls, and outed Altman and Microsoft swiftly reacted by formally hiring Altman and doubling down. Obviously most employees are going to side with Microsoft since they're currently paying the bills. You're going to see people strongly encouraged to walk out from the OpenAI board in the upcoming weeks or months, and they'll go down screaming crap about the computer hypergod. You see these aren't even marketing lines that they're repeating acritically, it's what's some dude desperately latching onto their useless 6 figure job is screaming.

  • ¡hasta la victoria siempre!
  • it's horrible and bitter so only hipsters drink it (argentinians drink it too but it's some sort of masochistic national symbol) and it's a special brand of unauthentic if you buy it canned. actually i'm just guessing i have no idea what sort of stereotype these obscure wojaks are making fun of and tbh as a society we shouldn't be making more of them.

  • Oh boy, they announced another film project based on a video game!
  • same thing with souls games really, the story is minimalist not only as a stylistic choice, but also to keep the actual ludonarrative front and center. link is really whatever you want him to be and does whatever you want him to do.
