Oh no, anyways.

I'm really disliking this episode of black mirror.

Yes. This was it for me. I spent enough time in traffic that I just memorized which car was which.

If I go out driving now, which is fairly rare, I'm always going, I don't recognize that car, what is it ??

And the cycle continues.

Yup. I agree. I was just checking to see if that was the case.

I was certainly hoping it was, but I wanted to see what other people's experiences have been.

Thanks for the conversation.

Oooh. That version. I forgot they called that basic 2.0

Alright.

One of us.

Also DOS. Now I'm a digital plumber, keeping the pipes and tubes of the Internet from getting backed up with all the things happening commercially.

Remember, the Internet is not something you can just dump something on, it's not a big truck.

There was a 2.0?

TIL.

Lies and slander.

I am a system administrator and a network administrator. I abhor database management tyvm.

I was 8 when Linus posted on that Minix Usenet group about his hobby that won't be big at all.

"poor people shouldn't be able to afford food because I'm irresponsible with my money"

.... That's what this sounds like.

If you're not "poor enough" to need snap, and you can't afford to buy whatever food you want, within reason, then either, you need snap and you're in denial, or you need to learn money management.

Snap recipients are forced to spend the money on food, since that's the only place that money can be spent AFAIK.... So they're forced to be responsible with their food money. They can't use the funds to get drunk at the pub and stumble down the street picking fights and ending up in the drunk tank.

See, that's what I was thinking. I'll have to do more research, but I would think all the overhead from Windows being Windows, would kind of diminish the gap between running it natively on Windows, and using proton or something so you can run it on Linux.

The overhead on both should be fairly similar, though with how Windows is, it wouldn't surprise me if it was slower.

Okay, real talk.

I know there's probably 100 videos on this, but I don't have time to watch any of them right now...

How much performance is lost/gained from using Linux to play games via proton?

I'm certain any game with a native Linux version will work great, I'm mostly concerned with the ones that need some kind of emulation layer.

As an IT professional, it's getting harder to find what I need from Google.

At the same time, it's borderline impossible to find what I need from other search engines, most of the time, and it's downright stupid to ask AI about it, because it will always give you an easy answer that doesn't work using controls that don't exist.

Yay?

I would agree that's what people mean, but they're completely overlooking that the problem has already been recognised, and addressed, with a solution that's been around for decades.

It's just that people take these modern amenities for granted, so they see them as part of the burden of doing the dishes or doing laundry, rather than relieving the burden of doing those things.

We can load up the dish washer and sit on our duff watching YouTube while a machine does the hard work. Then we just have to suffer through putting the dishes where we want them to go.

This is textbook "first world problems". AI is only expected to solve these first world problems. By definition, these problems are less actually problems that need solving, and more inconveniences that we perceive as problems.

I'm sorry you're going through that.

I understand why they want to, but professionals give and have, consent. This is just kink shaming, honestly.

There's already done fairly aggressive agree verification laws there that were recently enacted, if memory serves me correctly, so now you're telling agree verified adults what they can, or cannot, watch.

I have zero doubt that the actors in the adult films depicting these kinds of scenarios are consenting adults. And while it may not be everyone's kink, it is some people's. If you don't like it, don't watch it. You're an adult. Deal with it.

Making laws so that everyone needs to abide by what you think is acceptable in terms of sexually explicit material, is ridiculous, with the only caveat being that all people involved must be consenting adults (depictions of non-adults is another legal matter entirely, and should continue to not be permitted - this is one of the few exceptions to the rule).

Permission is not something that's taken lightly with people who are actually into that sort of thing.

I'm guessing that guy was experimenting and didn't understand what he should be doing. I know, and have known many people into many kinks that are either bdsm or bdsm adjacent, and consent is paramount for everyone. The amount of trust you have to have in someone to be completely immobilized while they do what they want is immense, and cannot be taken lightly. This concept penetrates the groups of people who have those kinds of kinks.

At the very least, as soon as you said that you didn't want him to do it, it should have been completely stopped, that should have been the end of it. If he wants someone who will participate in those acts with him, then he can look elsewhere.

For all the people I know who are into bdsm, or into similar fetishes, I must condemn this kind of behavior. They would not approve, I do not approve, and anyone rational should also not approve of these actions.

You speak of this in the past tense, so I assume you left and hopefully found someone who respects your boundaries. I'm sorry that you went through that and I hope you're doing well.

What antenna are you using?

I'm a ham radio nerd and antennas are fascinating to me

I'm just pointing this out, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who will....

We have machines to do the laundry and dishes for us already. We just have to set them up (put stuff in them) and they do the job for us.

When was the last time you saw someone get out the washing board?
