Is there anything like a miata for bigger people? One of these days I plan to own a home and would love a project car. People always seem to suggest a miata because they are cheapish, repairable, and have a huge community modding them. The problem? I am 6"4’. Maybe I could go with a convertible miata and wear goggles.
AI or not, I feel like everybody has had “the incident” at some point. After that, you obsessively keep backups.
For me it was a my entire “Junior Project” in college, which was a music album. My windows install (Vista at that time - I know, vista was awful, but it was the only thing that would utilize all 8gb of my RAM because x64 XP wasn’t really a thing) bombed out, and I was like “no biggie, I keep my OS on one drive and all of my projects on the other, I’ll just reformat and reinstall Windows”
Well… I had two identical 250gb drives and formatted the wrong one.
Woof.
I bought an unformat tool that was able to recover mostly everything, but I lost all of my folder structure and file names. It was just like 000001.wav, 000002.wav etc. I was able to re-record and rebuild but man… Never made that mistake again. Like I said. I now obsessively backup. Stacks of drives, cloud storage. Drives in divverent locations etc.
I mean look at that mugshot. Dude probably hangs dong like a forearm. Probably through a bush thicker than the Amazon rainforest. I don’t know why, but it just looks like when he unsheiths his member it hits the ground like Mjornir. He enters a room full of women and leaves it a mess of puddles and pubes. Probably stays well hydrated too.
Good for him.
They left out the apostrophes and dropped an “L”
It’s about a crisis that America has been coping with for a while.
Fent an’ y’all
It’s a TV show about a dog named Fenton (or Fent, as they call him) who is also a cowboy that is a hero of his community. It’s a spinoff of the show “Heroine” which was about a female superhero who had the ability to save people by miraculasly removing any pain that they felt. But it got kind of too dark when people started depending on her to be there and couldn’t survive without her. The public didn’t respond well.
Anyway, there was another spinoff of the show Heroine called “Purdue and You” about a similar hero named “Oxy”, and it was basically just the same plot of Heroine but a little bit more family friendly and the audience seemed to accept it more even though it was the same thing.
So now “Fent an’ Ya’ll” is kind of building on the popularity of both of those shows, but it’s just got much more impact. It’s like each episode feels 100x stronger. You’ll feel love, you’ll feel joy, and it might just leave you standing there doubled over. People are hooked.
The only real case I can think of where people like thin clients is when they move between stations. I worked at a hospital that used them and it was a fantastic solution. A doctor/nurse/whatever could walk up to any station, beep their ID, and a couple second later their session would load up. It was a huge pain in the ass to build and maintain though. These new devices might actually have a benefit there. Managing W365 through Azure/Intune is leagues easier than managing Citrix with Windows VM pools.
Yeah I was gonna say. Dell has been making Wyse Thin Clients for a long ass time. This isn’t anything particularly new other than using W365.
So instead we get gigantic investment funds spinning up hundreds of LLCs named things like BRIIINKLW like those shitty Amazon brands. They funnel each one of them 140m, and control a bunch of small individual businesses through an “outsourced” MSP that handles all of the business side and is also owned by them, but because they don’t own the properties or the assets, it doesn’t matter. Money gets funneled the way money gets funneled, through investments and donations etc.

The engineers looked at an old string of Christmas lights and thought “Yes. Yes this design will be perfect for the bathrooms of a multi billion dollar military craft that all of the crew members rely on wile out at sea. There’s no possible way it could go wrong.”
Truth. I’ve been rewarded for putting out fires that I caused. I find the best thing to do in these situations is to keep my stupid mouth shut.
That literally covers all streaming platforms. Go after Netflix lol good luck. Also YouTube? Also basically the fucking internet? Like what the fuck?
“If it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your shoe” sums it up pretty nice
Oh the terminal doesn’t scare me. I’m a Powershell junkie, so the terminal is warm and inviting. I just haven’t had the time to do it. Im also a windows admin by career so I like to be tuned into Microsoft’s bullshit to some extent, it’s part of my job. One of these days I’ll get around to it.
Wait, like all the time?
In the US, every time the Winter Olympics come around there is this temporary curling craze where everybody gets super into it and you would swear it’s their favorite thing and then the Olympics end and it disappears out of everybody’s mind instantly. Like a spell being broken or something. It’s weird.
It’s pretty great! I miss some of the smaller communities on Reddit, like I still go back there for /r/Intune while I am working, but it will be a cold day in hell if I ever install the reddit app on my phone.
There are some side affects of Lemmy though. I’m pretty close to installing Linux on my computers. Just haven’t found the time.
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Side note: I’m glad my days of experimenting with drugs was in the smart phone era. You always had something to put lines out on right in your pocket.
I drove manual for nearly 20 year of my life and then I got married and had kids and now I have a Minivan and it’s the fucking tits.
Hey… Trillian was awesome.
I would love to go back in time and show this to somebody who worked at the Nintendo Power Tip Hotline. They would be all like “oh shit, AI is going to take our jobs in the future?” not knowing that their jobs were replaced decades ago by autistic people with dial-up internet making GameFAQs txt files.
