Sounds like the league of nations just collapsed

Thats really cool but man people used to have time on their hands.

I mean I get it. Weird to have a private company walking monitoring device that proudly does so so they can… Upload more to social media? It just sorta marks you as a hyper user and in the past we would have doubted those types even came outside.
Like I would pair it with the people who have only clothes and decorated with souvenir items from some random brand. It IS a weird look.

But unfortunately Flock exists and they are everywhere, spun up in seconds with cameras just running light and are even easily hacked. So like privacy wise its less a concern but personally… Definitely not a fan and I get uncomfortable around them. I don’t want to be used for content or actively sold by you just for being near.

Fried green pomato.

Also like ever bite into a raw potato? Even if it tasted like tomato that is a hard no.

Probably, but it is not a gaming device but a network managing one and its been running for way before bazzite and just the thought of having to configure it all again makes my skin crawl.

I dont even game on my Linux system and every time it updates I know I have a frustrating night ahead of me.

Maybe just an Ubuntu thing but actually my steam deck has had to roll back a few times as well… At least it had that option unlike Ubuntu.

Maybe it is because I am using mine for network related apps that they are always what breaks but man it seems like some major backed component gets a rewrite every so often just to see if it is better. I have had so many port issues and network issues it makes me want to be Amish. That and trying to get video thumbnails back that one time. Wasnt a total nightmare but weird that it took me days to figure out that apparently I had to delete the cache then reinstall ffmpegthumbnailer…
So, no, not alone. Hate updates. Hate them so much.

Have you tried Nemo by the way? Kinda like it better than Dolphin.

Yeah. Maybe. I know I will never try arch again and I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be one of the good ones but its been so much stress.
I dont want to have to completely redo my whole system and all the software just to try a different OS flavor

Ah. I have only figured out the check for updates daily, weekly or never options. I am leaning into never as this is the third time an Ubuntu update has made me want to curl up in a ball and die.

I dont find thus constant tech support fun.

Ha! As if Ubuntu didnt update on its own and then completely killed my internet access because it changed the file system of how it stores DNS but didnt somehow do it right to the point of me spending 3 hours figuring out what file I had to recreate and why to get it working again.

Linux is cool but not this make believe version of cool.

I’ve noticed people just back the person speaking the most strongly or is insulting harder as if those are tactics used by people who are commonly right.

Honestly even here on lemmy you get how Trump won.
Even here people can’t help supporting the person acting like they are superior.

Ok. I’m sorry you struggled with the pun.

But hey just realized I taught you a new definition of the word then.
Yay puns!

Is definitely a pun and doesnt really need an explanation to work.

It plays off of Monument, being a sculpture made of someone usually historical and that someone making a statue of you is a big deal as a second definition of the word.

I disagree on what it would take to bring me back to Nintendo, cause… I think its ok for them to make a fancy digital toy with games that change how we play with it.

But I want the fancy digital toy to be worth it first and be fun.
Like the DS was a planner and a doodle pad, and a contact book, and a web browser and a gameboy and a DS. They had a version that let me see games in 3D. They had a console that let me swing swords like the main character in the game that came out just for it. I could play any sport like I was actually doing it right away day 1 and design a character to play as.

Now the console does nothing but play the games that dont come with it. And they dont even use a fun game mechanic they added to make the digital toy cool. They lost all passion and it is just a worse locked down version that only plays the game and goes away. Made to have you purchase more on it then use it.
I miss Nintendo.

Nemo broke the code to be just kinda awesome.

Its like a modern enlightenment but songified.

I am so tired of worse products in the name of upgraded products that are literally worse in every way but a bunch of buzzwords and in groups bragging at the top while not knowing anything at all about programs or even the product at all but just seem to be there because they drink with the CTO.

Ugh. The twiddling thumb era of trying to look busy by dismantling the old machines for parts.

Yeah, honestly this is a fantastic ad campaign for them and they are in fact getting rewarded for towing that line by getting the conversation on them.

They made an art piece that tows the line in the minefield so hard that it is causing explosions when people try to follow along…

Yeah ok, so sounds like they accomplished their goal in the art sense and just won’t get the wide audience and monetary rewards for making an art piece that hurt people.

I see nothing wrong here.

Its one of like 3 brands you can buy at phone stores in the US.
The other is Samsung and the last one is usually Motorola’s old people or discount phones.

No shit when it’s treated like the default option for most people.

Americans knew who he was, witnessed the same January 6th I did, and elected to restore that guy to office

He’s just so passionate! Him and his followers were just upset he lost because he was doing so good, and he gave up eventually. Don’t you want a passionate president rather than a sleepy one? Plus he will be hard on all the immigrants who must be responsible for me struggling to find a job and he will negotiate prices down, haven’t you heard? He’s a good negotiator he has a whole book and everything. Has to be better than Biden and his random girl telling me that everything is fine and they won’t do anything to help me.

I get being in disbelief, and being upset but people don’t know what they don’t know and it isn’t that shocking to see how they came to the conclusions that it HAD to be better.
Humans, while very clever, are emotionally dumb as fuck.

Its fun that they admit that they don’t know the math behind why it picks the paths it does.

We are essentially having to learn our world all over again and these tools that can recognize patterns are gonna be helpful for that but it will still be on humans to figure out the why
