Windows 11 displays as Windows 10 in a large number of places internally. It's just a later revision than any of the "actually" Windows 10 ones.

Great old ones can be very friendly. I always understood them as having motivations largely beyond human understanding.

"INSTRUMENT OF MY WILL, YOU MUST SWITCH THE HEALING POTION ON THE SHELF WITH A POISON."

Like a week later the governor's butler gets injured, dies from poison instead of being healed, the store closes and the owner is arrested, the stock goes on clearance sending ripples through the potion economy, and the new butler influences the governor's choices through subtle changes around the mansion.

Actual end result goal: Topiary in the mansion garden gets cut in such a way that it slowly dies, serving as a false portent to some other cult.

The rest is just setting up other potential threads that could be pulled by the old one.

"GO STARTLE THAT BIRD"

"BUY A BOQUET OF TULIPS FROM THE FLORIST"

"PET THE DOG"

Just small, subtle pushes to events, at leaat until things reach "endgame". Shift a few pieces of reality and cause and effect here and there, as everything aligns. Not worth rushing things when you don't necessarily experience time in a linear fashion.

I hold out a lot of hope that a group will start decompiling them. There's so many versions out there that it could even be a multi-pronged approach.

Man, the seriousness of "The flesh is weak" has me rolling!

That's awful. Sounds like it's time to move.

Both with my daughter, but never going quite as far as swinging her around by one limb. Just flopping her over my shoulder like she's a sack of potatoes, then holding her ankles and dangling her upside down against my back. She loves it, and will actively try to climb up my chest when I'm sitting to flop over my shoulder herself sometimes.

Hahahahaha. At least they had the balls to publish and host it themselves.

 

Love this inversion of the song trope of lamenting the loss of nature. It's a satirical lament of the loss of corporate development.

Lyrics:

Here we stand

Like an Adam and an Eve

Waterfalls

The Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

So beautiful and strong

The birds in the trees

Are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs

Cars have run on gasoline

Where, where have they gone?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory

Now, there are mountains and rivers

You got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake

Now, we got something for dinner

We got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall

Now, it's all covered with flowers

You've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise

I wish I had a lawnmower

You've got it, you've got it

Years ago

I was an angry young man

I'd pretend

That I was a billboard

Standing tall

By the side of the road

I fell in love

With a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate

Now, it's only fields and trees

Where, where is the town?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

The highways and cars

Were sacrificed for agriculture

I thought that we'd start over

But I guess I was wrong, hey

Once there were parking lots

Now, it's a peaceful oasis

You got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut

Now, it's all covered with daisies

You got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks

Dairy Queens and Seven-Elevens

You got it, you got it

And as things fell apart

Nobody paid much attention

You got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies

Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies

You got it, you got it

We used to microwave

Now, we just eat nuts and berries

You got it, you got it

This was a discount store

Now, it's turned into a cornfield

You got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here

I can't get used to this lifestyle

 

US Congress proposed bill to allow AI to prescribe drugs and medical treatment

Original post from the Fuck AI community: https://lemmy.world/post/24681591

The fact that this has even been proposed is horrifying on so many fucking levels. Technically it has to be approved by the state invovled and the FDA, but opening this door even a crack is so absurdly out of touch with reality.
