Got me crying pretty bad lol. Seeing love just gently pulling him back to his child despite all of the fear and uncertainty

Yeah it was a trip for me as well to adapt to the new ways. For example it took me a long long time to adjust to allowing the computer to manage the multitasking for me. I would habitually always close out programs I wasn’t using, because I felt deeply from my decades of experience that running tons of things at once would cause many issues.

I was very uncomfortable letting all these “active” programs pile up, but it really turned out to be all good. The computers are designed to be used this way. And really, I’m better off for it, not having to go in and micromanage everything constantly.

What I’m trying to say is that learning is not something that is ever finished, you know? There came a day when we stopped defragmenting our hard drives, and now the day has arrived where the computer utilizes all the ram all the time

That’s normal for these computers. Idea being it doesn’t really benefit you to have a ton of empty ram sitting around waiting to be used. So the OS makes no effort to clear it out until the space is needed.

If you believe their marketing it’s actually doing the opposite, and preemptively loading stuff into ram in order to make your common tasks feel as snappy as possible. But yeah either way you’ll notice the memory is always “full”, but you never seem run out

Google has been rolling out a thing where an AI result is the first thing that pops up, often taking up the whole screen lol. I’ve personally witnessed tons of people google something normally, then just go with whatever the AI says.

Makes me shake my head, but it’s not like they were very discerning with their sources before all this nonsense, either. Hopefully they don’t rely on it for any important medical advice down the road

What did you do on the platform out of curiosity? I felt similarly when I left other social medias.

Discord I mainly use to keep an eye on early access games and dev updates, and occasionally ask or answer questions. Although I did get into it after deleting other social media so I may be subconsciously avoiding the more toxic parts of the experience

Absolute tragedy tbh, discord won’t be around forever. I weep for all the game knowledge that will be lost

Snakes and eels, for sure

Lemmy is for 16-25, but not 26-28 year olds, but then 29+. It’s the darnedest thing

This

The update just came out pretty much, you’ll know when you get it

If lemmy has 100 users I’m one of them

If lemmy has 1 user it’s me

If lemmy has no users I’m dead

So, this is not a picture of a place. It is a computer generated graphic of an island which was made for the music video.

The reason you’re seeing it now is simply because the person demonstrating the load time discrepancy chose to use this video in particular. The video was most likely chosen arbitrarily and due to it being popular (270m views and counting)

It’s from the Crab Rave music video.

Noisestorm, the artist who made Crab Rave, is also working on a game currently called Crab Champions. It’s in early access on steam, super fun

I’ve noticed a common trend among people with laughably bad opinions, which is that they are also incapable of presenting coherent arguments to defend their point of view when called out. Do you care to comment on this phenomena?

Close! It’s a literal equivalence, which is why your take is so bad.

Oh but since we’re talking fallacies, refresh my memory, which is the one where you call everyone who disagrees with you a pedophile? It’s on the tip of my tongue…an abdominal attack or something right?

Correct, OP does not engage with any form of technology that facilitates crime.

Thank god for OP’s grandchildren, who run his accounts by occasionally asking his opinions and posting them without his knowledge, thereby allowing us these glimpses into his perfectly moral mind

If you aren’t willing to eat ads, and you aren’t willing to be the product, and you aren’t willing to pay a subscription, then why do you think you’re entitled to content?

You’re overthinking things. I click one button once and I never see ads, for years at a time without needing to tweak it at all. This is also completely free to set up and completely legal.

The fact of the matter is that this technology exists, and they can do nothing to stop it. Despite this, they continue to rely on the ad supported model. Curious, no?

then why would they want to spend money serving you for free?

Because if I post a link to a video and as a result someone sees an ad —or better, signs up for premium—then boom, they just made a profit. There is of course a critical threshold of adblockers where this no longer works but we’re not near it yet so they won’t change their revenue model.

Note: I am not taking a moral high ground here, just pointing out how it works. Yes, you are subsidizing me, thanks for that.

I want one! Just not from Zuck

I think you’ll be okay, if anything just switch to an alt account before you start drinking lol

I like….Fire”

Ah, yes, I agree, perfect for roasting the marshmallows
