Damn, I wish I had seen that in person. (I barely visited that part of the con -- I made a beeline to Bil Holbrook's booth to congratulate him on 30 years of Kevin and Kell, and then left again because I was in a hurry to get to a panel.)

that rabbit hole is very deep

Phrasing!

Hell, a top of the line graphics card alone costs as much as a decent used car!

Spoken like somebody who hasn't shopped for a decent used car recently.

"Cash for Clunkers" really fucked us over.

I have multiple computers.

They're running Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux and Linux.

Especially since it's the only job that shouldn't be allowed to organize, since cops are enforcers for the owner class, not labor.

When legal justice fails, vigilantism becomes the only alternative.

Not being required is the first step. Not being covered by insurance/subsidized is the second step. Not being available is the third step.

It's not the antivaxxers themselves who will suffer; it's the immuno-compromised and innocent children who will suffer.

First of all LOL, but also those were CD-ROMs.

I want to see Garrett Wang cosplay as himself from this article at Dragon Con in 2027.

It'd be hard for a song with a title like "Pompeii" to be anything but dark, LOL

• Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles
• Some Nights by Fun (and the music video really reinforces it)
• I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers
• a bunch of different songs by P!nk
• Weird Al's presidential debate autotune songs ("Bad Hombres, Nasty Women" from 2016, "WE'RE ALL DOOMED" from 2020, and "Deja Vu (But Worse)" from 2024)

That's not what that means and you know it. It refuses to work unless it can successfully phone home over the Internet.

I use KDE with pretty much default settings. ¯(ツ)/¯

Listen here you little shit.

Yeah, it's an uncomfortable thing to admit, but we don't actually know if it's true that "real" intelligence works fundamentally differently than modern ML techniques. The argument that generative AI isn't "real" creativity could still turn out to be cope.

Trump should've been impeached on Inauguration Day for violating the Emoluments Clause.

Inauguration Day 2017, let alone 2025!

I guarantee most people who saw that guy thought he was a Star Wars stormtrooper, but I guess the message still works anyway.

I think studios can be reliably trusted to learn exactly the wrong lesson from KPDH and flood the market with derivative cash-grab slop instead of taking a risk on something novel and different.
