Today we see it that way but in the 70s and 80s, the 1950s Thing was hailed as a classic prestige science fiction film. That’s why Carpenter’s version was trashed at the time. It was dismissed as a grotesque barf bag SFX spectacle that completely disregarded what made the original so good.

Like a trillion MENACE matchbox computer matchboxes.

It isn’t the “cigarette baron’s” fault any more than the beer baron’s fault or the parachute maker’s fault. Some people are going to die if they choose to indulge in mildly risky behavior. If the scenario is something like this, everyone here will be pushing that button. Don’t say you won’t because you will.

It’s crap like this that’s the reason why I started looking for alternatives like Lemmy. Reddit is getting a little too big for their britches.

To the average person, woke is just the new, more concise word for politically correct.

AI isn’t magic. It’s been my experience trying to seriously work with it that I realize that it would be easier just to do it myself in Photoshop.

Edit:

Actually, now it’s Krita. I’m moving away from PS.

Mine aren’t saying anything about it at all.

If they had parents like that “no stress” wouldn’t be on that list.

This is weird ass article. It’s like the author has never used an Internet forum before and didn’t understand how the Internet works.

Don’t stop at the Fediverse. Keep going. You’ve only just begun.

I used to make websites back in the 2000s. Hit trackers collected this info back then too. Knowing screen resolutions is useful for designing the website. Knowing all this info in general is helpful. If 99% of your visitors are coming from the US with a screen resolution of 1080p and are using Firefox, you know not to worry too much about making the site compatible with Netscape Navigator, 640x480 monitors, and translating everything to French.

I am surprised by this site knowing my graphics card. I don’t know why modern web developers would need to know that. I’ve been out of the game so long. Perhaps it’s useful info.

Edit:

I’m also always surprised/saddened that today nobody on the Internet seems to know anything at all about making websites. This kind of thing was common knowledge back in the 2000s.

I’m pretty sure they’re joking.

So this works perfectly and has no bugs, right? There’s probably going to be millions of false positives everyday and people won’t be able to use their cars. Between this and AI age verification and everything else, the dumbass politicians in power seem to think all this shit is magical wizardry. Their going to cause society to collapse.

So am I! I just can’t believe Adam Smith and Karl Marx are the Einstein and Newton of economics. It feels like capitalism and communism are the luminiferous ether and fluid theory of electricity and we never bothered to advance any further.

I never understood why we’re stuck with just capitalism or communism, two economic systems developed before railroads were a thing and written down at night by candle light or a lantern burning whale fat. I think we should come up with something better. To quote President Not Sure, “The water doesn’t have to come from the toilet, but that’s the general idea.”

They’re doing this because of OSA. I’m starting to wonder if the end game here is like the one for tobacco, where it will be illegal for anyone born before 2008 to use the Internet.

Everyone here should remember the story of Damocles. One of the things I enjoy about being poor is that I have nothing for people to steal. I don’t worry about muggings, carjackings, home invasions, kidnapping. When you have money, a line starts to form to take it from you.

I hear this comment in Moe Szyslak’s voice.

Why do not have in the first sentence?

Lemmy isn’t too much. It’s just that the people using it right are the types that will tell you how to build a clock when you ask what time it is. They give too much info instead of just linking to lemmy.world or something. That might be the problem with Linux too.

I was given some kind of gas once for surgery and I found it hard to breathe. I told the nurses around me that I thought I was having a panic attack and the anesthesiologist chuckled, “It’s okay. I’m giving you something for that.” Then I was out.
