Damn poor guy. I'll put 20 bucks on his books for Ramen. Dudes a true patriot.

Big tech won't chip in is my bet. My company maintains its own version of Linux that has some specific certifications. Updating that box requires an act of god. My bet is that the companies that can afford to will create their own "LTS" versions that just get older and older, and more broken and exploited as time goes on...

Sorry, long night at work =/

No this is about money.

In 15 years there won't be any live action "big budget" movies anymore, they will be generated using ai models and licensing the likeness of actors.

The fact that they are eating 500M right now means that they are confident in their models, hence my 15 year prediction.

The crows outside remind me of Itachi's crows. I wonder if they're watching me. Do they carry messages from the Uchiha clan?

I tried to walk on water today, like Naruto and the others. Just ended up with wet socks and a bruised ego.

Every time I close my eyes, I'm in the Hidden Leaf Village. But every morning, I wake up in this mundane room.

Mom bought me a new headband, but it's not from the Hidden Leaf. It's from the Hidden Sand. I'm conflicted.

I whispered "Sharingan" to my cat today, hoping it'd gain the power. Instead, it just looked at me with disdain.

My pencil broke during the math test. I wish I could summon a shadow clone to do my homework.

If only the school bus was like one of the summoned toads. I'd never be late again.

Arthur C. Clarke: We're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity's salvation will come from encountering benevolent alien intelligence we haven't discovered yet.

Ok, so what's everyone's honest opinion about the app? I've used it once or twice before switching to rif and never used anything else. My wife has been using the official app and says it's "fine". I switched to lemmy after the API fiasco, so I really have no idea how it functions these days. Is it really that dogshit or are people like me just mad?

My grandma said some dumb shit like this to my mom over Facebook. When she asked me why I wasnt coming over for Thanksgiving I told her, and she responds with something along the line of "it was a joke", "it was online", "it wasn't real", etc.

I said grandma, you called my mom a lazy bitch, I ain't talking to you until you apologize. She (on facebook) called me a spoiled millennial piece of shit. 🤷

God I love learning about analog tech! Very creative design!

Found this in production while migrating SSO providers. Made me chuckle 🙃

Left economically but right socially? Like, they'd want single payer healthcare but only for straight white people?

My wife and I are divers, we have around 20 dives each. I asked her if she "feels comfortable controlling her boyency" yet. She gave me an "ehhh" while shrugging and said she has the "hang of it" but wouldn't go as far as comfortable. I agree and basically feel the same way.

Some divers are really smooth with how they swim and float around, we kinda just bumble around compared to them and try not to stand on any coral.
