get a bunch of clowns to be his pallbearers

you will see light in the darkness…

I got my mother in law on Mint linux a couple years ago, it never gives her any problems. It is the way to go with the seniors

I am a system admin and have to run a ton of Windows servers, I feel it. If you don’t keep up on the patch notes shit can get bad without even realizing it. I hate Windows for all the crap that is layered on it but it wouldn’t be so bad if Microsoft didn’t change shit just to change it and move stuff around without a good reason. The forcing of things is what really makes me upset. IDK about your AI shit Microsoft! ITS NOT HELPING

i installed arch on my laptop almost 10 years ago

I have to fix something maybe once a year and I only update once a week, if i remember

reboot maybe one time in a month

the myth that you need to fix Linux constantly needs to die

I heard it’s gritty and course too

can you imagine being a religious convert and then meeting the religious leader and that leader shortly dies… combine that with being Trump’s partner and not seeing religious revelations in these days… and yet it seems that those with the most dedication to religion are running to fill in the black hole

yeah stupid 12 year old me who figures out how to turn baseball cards into gas and food for my mentally broken mother and my sister and brother

I mean we might have found a spot for the camping stove but ok sure cooking at parks and camp fire works. but being homeless and a child presented obstacles and discount donuts were the special spot for my dollar when a dollar meant the most to me

my family would wait until the donuts would go on discount in the evening

sometimes it was the only calories that would get us through the next day

so donuts and dollars has always had a heavy weight to it

you thank your car?

whatever floats your boat but I think we both know you are just being contrarian now

Anthropomorphic Fallacy

https://psychology.tips/anthropomorphic-fallacy/

why are you arguing that at me? I just argued that its not a human, AI is a tool and should be treated as such. If my tool sucks, I will tell it so and quit using it. If my tool is great, I will use it to the best of my ability and respect its functionality.

everyone else here is making scarecrow arguments because I just don’t think it needs to be anthropomorphized. The link speaks about “tens of millions of dollars” wasted on computing please and thank you

that is fucking stupid behavior

it isn’t this for sure but it is very much advertising gone good

Michelin tires would put out road maps with advertisements and they started to include destinations with restaurant reviews in them, that was like the biggest critical review that a restaurant could get back then. So they took it really seriously

but dont anthropomorphize your tools. And it’s odd when someone does.

I see people beat up their things all the time without getting upset

I don’t really care when someone smashes the door closed of their car

or smashes their keyboard in frustration or tosses a pen that doesn’t work right

Maybe you should learn about where electricity comes from, when the demand is too much for the standard power grid to fulfill?

its a hammer, do you teach the kids to thank their tools?

I understand teaching the children respect and how to behave, but AI and Siri/Alexa are just tools. They don’t need to be anthropomorphizing ai, IMO that is dangerous on a humanity level scale.

Lucifer in Sandman is in hell but that’s because that’s his realm and it’s what you expect but he’s a charming and likable guy who’s just doing what he’s able to do. God ignores him and that’s his ultimate pain

I don’t need handouts.

said the kid who also mentions that his parents are rich… JFK get a clue dude

One of my favorite family moments with a young child

I am watching my niece for the weekend, she must be 5 or 6 at this time. We had a good day and when it was getting dark she laid down on the couch and said she wanted to watch “the princess movie”. I was like … hmmm ok which one of my DVDs was she talking about…

After a bit of do you mean this one? and showing it to her? no? ok… next and then I started to make it a silly game

but then she got up and went straight to Empire Strikes Back and said

THE PRINCESS MOVIE Uncle thisbenzingring!!! and game me the duh!!! look

I fell so deeply in love with that girl that day
