I didn’t know about the co-ownership. That makes HOA stories make more sense.

paraphrand ,

One of those big fucking trucks with poor visibility. Driven with over confidence.

paraphrand ,

Ohh, I get the title now. The Dinos run everything…

paraphrand ,

I hope this does not ruin the recent efforts to unionize.

paraphrand ,

Holy shit. I didn’t know that that the situation. It’s so American.

paraphrand ,

It's been said the pain of the bamboozle is too much for most to acknowledge so they continue to double down on it. The great grifters and conmen know this and use it to their advantage.

People in the UFO scene do the same with their grifters.

paraphrand ,

I personally think there must be some truth to the phenomenon as a whole. But I can’t stand the grifters who sidle up seeking attention or money after a time.

paraphrand ,

What are the current contenders?

paraphrand ,

holy shit

Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

Hiya, so am looking to buy more storage and while browsing am seeing some external harddisks, such as Western Digital My Book and Seagate Expansion Desktop for cheaper than the internal harddisks themselves. Have seen this one video from KTZ Systems where he bought up multiple of these external ones just to open them up and use...

paraphrand ,

It’s a bummer that hard drives are priced this way. It’s been common for a few decades now.

Sliced bread, humanity’s downfall

[The USDA] previously reported that no viral particles were found in samples of ground beef collected at retail stores, and that no bird flu virus was found after cooking ground beef to medium to well done, after it was injected with a virus surrogate as part of an experiment.

Better start cooking your steaks longer.

The pandemic.

Cool design.

Decentralized Systems Will Be Necessary To Stop Google From Putting The Web Into Managed Decline ( www.techdirt.com )

Is Google signaling the end of the open web? That’s some of the concern raised by its new embrace of AI. While most of the fears about AI may be overblown, this one could be legit. But it doesn’t mean that we need to accept it....

paraphrand ,

“Managed Decline” That’ll be big.

paraphrand ,

Damn. The race to be first to report is a problem. It’s worse than the old race you see in movies and tv about broadcast news and newspapers.

paraphrand ,

Perfectly?

I guess we understand more about the brain than I thought. 🤔

paraphrand ,

Just wanted to say I share your complicated thoughts on this. It’s not as simple as “Rah! Rah! Piracy!” No one is entitled to another person’s work. But things get nuanced and messy fast once you move beyond that narrow contextualization.

paraphrand ,

You can’t monitor shit.

paraphrand ,

Apple and others have tried to fix the discovery issue. And some of the platforms tell them to fuck off. Such as Netflix. And formerly Amazon.

If you’re not aware, AppleTV will list things across many streaming services and take you right to the shows/movies in the respective apps. As long as a platform is participating. So you just browse/search in a central place.

Apple and Amazon worked out their differences a few years ago and their stuff is now part of the index.

I wonder if this bundle will change that. Currently, Netflix does not integrate with these sort of features.

paraphrand ,

What a classic situation. Some hype man taking credit.

paraphrand ,

Well, if that means they are talking shit about humans, they are probally justified.

Sencha on his very first cat tree ( lemmy.world )

This is an old photo. This was the very first cat tree we bought for Sencha before we realized he was a bit bigger than the average cat. We ended up having to return the tree because it was too small for him. He briefly used the tree but he could never seem to be able to find a comfortable spot on it....

paraphrand ,

Very pretty grey cat.

paraphrand ,

We can still kick rich old white dudes tho, right?

paraphrand ,

What a great way to neuter sharp and exacting questions.

paraphrand , (edited )

The clickbait is strong on this one.

Edit: I just finished watching the main part. I think they could have gone further. I assume some people will be curious about Nicotine gum/lozenges after this video. And wonder if it’s an ideal alternative.

Otherwise, the way they show all the downsides is really effective IMO.

paraphrand ,

Excellent breakdown.

paraphrand ,

Makes you wonder how much google search getting shitty enhances their YouTube profits.

paraphrand ,

Then lock up the false electors.

paraphrand ,

Expecting someone to be ever-vigilant and ever-responsible is not the product of critical thinking.

It’s a fucking gun!

paraphrand ,

Massive bottles of wine

paraphrand ,

They suck out value and shit out debt.

paraphrand ,

Virtual Viagra

paraphrand ,

That’s an interesting conspiracy theory you are proposing. Any more proof of TSMC intentionally trying to force Americans out of employment at their US based locations?

paraphrand ,

Show me your dick.

Only one of them has that line.

paraphrand ,

huh?

paraphrand ,

Wait, you’re saying we shoulda kept some of the ozone hole around?

paraphrand ,

Well, they couldn’t have been fed already today. Just listen to how much they are meowing!

paraphrand ,

Yeah, using “self hosted” in your title is misleading.

paraphrand ,

How long until things like chocolate are only attainable by the rich again?

paraphrand ,

I still have hope that greater access to information (via the internet) is eroding that number.

paraphrand ,

You’re living in the future.

paraphrand ,

Spaz said his friends advised him to sell at least some, otherwise it would’ve drove him crazy.

paraphrand ,

Get off. The nuclear. Warhead.

paraphrand ,

Did you year the Mobile version made $2 billion dollars in 10 months after spending $200 million on advertising?

paraphrand ,

Sorry, no. Just Monopoly.
