I just switched from Plex to Jellyfin. Aside from a few minor features like intro skipping, I don’t miss it.

I think Apple was more to blame for that.

You have to drill or cut into the skull for plenty of medical procedures. I don’t think getting a dime sized piece of skull removed at the crown of your head means your head explodes when you hit it on something.

As for the charging thing, there are plenty of solutions. Wear some kind of headband for one.

That’s the human condition. All suffering and joy is relative to our baseline, and that baseline changes very quickly.

I believe Kingdom of Loathing used iframes extensively to achieve what looked like a “dynamic” page long before that was a thing.

They don’t like the short top, her hair, or the tattoos.

American conservative christians are generally anti-tattoo. They like things like long modest dresses, suits, clean short haircuts for men, etc. Very bland and conforming.

AI Voice impressions are also getting very good, very quickly. I can convert a song to an AI celebrity cover in a few minutes on consumer grade hardware with a model trained on 15 minutes of audio. We will almost certainly reach a point within my lifetime, probably within 20 years, where you literally can’t tell the difference between an AI actor and a real one.

Don’t think that list is totally accurate. Listening to Norwegian Wood as I type this.

That is essentially impossible. How are they going to pay each reddit user whose comment the AI analyzed? Or each website it analyzed? We’re talking about terabytes of text data taken from a huge variety of sources.

As a “homepage” for news and content, yeah.

Sadly my hobby and porn subreddits I still meed reddit for though.

For a long time our goal was simply to survive and maybe have sex a few times. Now we’re suddenly under pressure to “accomplish” things but not that many people are really wired for it. There’s a reason some of the best creatives are weirdos and assholes.

Bandwidth isn’t a concern if you get an unmetered line, and 10TB storage is only about $250. I would imagine they make decent money from tech, and find the service very convenient personally.

Some of them are great and can even make things less awkward for the other person. The “small error” one for example. The “I have an appointment” one is necessary when talking with higher ups in big companies who completely devalue your needs. But some are assholish, yeah.

Plus, bitching about common experiences is awesome. I have two past co-workers that I stay in contact with and most of what we talk about is how much we hated the job.

Really that stat would have to be something like total karma divided by your number of posts, or number of views by logged in users on your posts. As a total number it’s meaningless. It’s like someone being a millionaire if humans were immortal. Are they really good at business, or have just been alive a long time?

I feel you. Weird that they don’t label it, maybe you get a summarized bill or something.

The thing is Karma was largely about luck and community. I made a dirty joke that took 5 seconds to think of and wasn’t very funny and got 2000 upvotes because it was in a big thread. I later spent about 5 hours putting together a resource for a smaller community and got 200 upvotes. Almost zero correlation between karma and quality.

Yeah I think with a net income of $60 billion annually Google is a wee bit past needing VC money lol.
