Projection and insecurity often make people lash out.

"No, I prefer to donate money directly, and if your company really cared about the cause then they would just donate without asking the customers to foot the bill"

Of course, the 9/10 times the cashier agrees and is only asking because their supervisor could be within earshot and decide to reprimand them for not asking.

Oh fuck yeah, give me some of that Elite.

Legitimately would love to play it again, Elite: Dangerous is super fun, but nostalgia wins.

Corporations that already more or less control the world want even more leeway to control the world even MORE despite clear evidence they are woefully unprepared?

Name a more iconic duo.

I thought showing off my own kobo and library of books that I can let anyone I want read would convince them.

Nope.

Oh well

Depends on what I'm playing.

I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn't something that's fast paced.

I have yet to play anything where I'm skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn't do much for me.

Maybe I just don't know what to look for, what I'm missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.

The problem is not the price.

The problem is Ai "art" is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.

I support this wholeheartedly.

Indeed.

I even sent them the related news articles about content I've had removed from my own devices, and still they don't seem to care in the least.

So I sent this to my parents, as they've spent hundreds, if not thousands on their Kindle books.

They don't really care. Zero interest in DRM-free backups that I can make them. They don't think it's an issue. They trust Amazon to not mess with their books, and that they'll always have access to wifi and kindles.

As I keep telling people, they keep saying "DEI" because even most Bible belt folks get uncomfortable when you drop the hard R they really want to say.

So he's admitting musk is the president.
