  • Well, he doesn't seem to care anymore.

  • Happy Sunday Everyone..... How are you doing ??

    Jump

  • They're talking about EXIF data. Almost all websites strip it automatically these days. Lemmy/Piefed included so, they're worrying you over nothing fyi.

  • are you afraid of the hentai virus?

    Jump

  • No, I'm just scared of Ligma.

  • How come Presidents don't just be honest with people? Like say I started this war because I own oil stock so tough shit. Or like yea I was a pedo back then so tough shit. so on and son on ?

    Jump

  • Humanity hates honesty/truth. 80% of us are theists FFS. Feels over reals. You need only sell them a flimsy dream to win their support. Tell them they're special. Deny all wrong doing, they'll look the other way. Even if it reeks of bullshit that's still preferred over reality for a lot of people.

    There are limits to this of course but apparently it takes an extreme amount of personal suffering to wake people who fall for stuff like this. Even then, there are still some amount of old days loyalists amongst the survivors of any given ruined empire.

  • Trump says he will send ‘Election Integrity Army’ into every state for midterms

    Jump

  • FYI that doesn't matter anymore and isn't going to magically course correct when they have nothing to fear from a dociled populace.

  • Which media players support mkv captions?

    Jump

  • VLC isn't lacking support for this. Are you sure your friend knows how to turn on subtitles?

  • Unironically at this point

    Jump

  • Same. Hopefully AMD still bothers making GPU with...is it 1% market share while Intel gave up entirely again? Dire.

  • What questions do interviewers need to stop asking during a job interview?

    Jump

  • So come up with a line ahead of time. It's all bullshit anyways. Try to find the tune they want the monkey to dance to during the interview.

  • Microsoft CTO confesses that 30-year-old code from the mid-90s still forms the bedrock of Windows 11 — ancient Win32 API still the backbone, but CTO says it's 'more relevant than ever in 2026'

  • recalls UWP

    shivers.

  • If you have 20 upvotes and 10 downvotes, it feels better to see the aggregate number; but if you have 20 downvotes and 10 upvotes, it feels better to see the two numbers separately...

  • damaster2230@hotmail.com 😁 RIP long gone.

    I still have my live.ca account but it's boring first/last name type deal and then only used now for the increasingly rare website that won't let you sign up with a custom domain name.

  • How often do you upgrade your PC?

    Jump

  • I match the average stated in the article. 5 years for a new build (CPU socket change is how I define that) since 2002. 2-3 years for GPU. Not counting 90's family computers since that wasn't my own money. Or laptops/mini PC.

    Today I've reached my usual upgrade period but I didn't this time. 5-6 year gap since my last builds last done in 2020 and 2021. The GPU remains the most frequent upgrade I still do. The rest dropped off...sort of. I bought a NAS that changed how I deal with storage. Gets complicated. Anyways, I don't think I would've done a new desktop build for another 3 years at least even if things hadn't gone to shit. Now with corpo AI bubble and daily global fascist tantrums jacking up prices? Hard to say. 8-10 years looks realistic?

    Just comes down to performance and I'm not feeling any pinches yet with the two towers, a Ryzen 5800X in the office and Core i5 12600 in the living room. Office PC only gets living room hand-me-downs from now on. My gaming habits have changed a lot I'm primarily a couch PC gamer now.

  • The “MAGA sphere” is in an uproar after the Canadian PM welcomed former President Barack Obama with open arms.

  • Meh they'll forget by tomorrow with a new shiny distraction.

  • Got my Steam Controller today

    Jump

  • I reserved 7 minutes after the option for 2nd wave went live, no follow-up email yet but glad I've not seen too many faulty hardware reports so far. Some people had a creaky left joystick afaik but not a widespread complaint.

  • What are your worst tech purchases?

    Jump

  • I only posted regret not timeline...could've written that better. It was 2020 (AMD 4700U) and was used until 2026 but spent the last two years in the garage running an OBD-1 diagnosis program for an old truck and playing music over bluetooth. It just stayed on outdated kernel until it got replaced. Steam Deck replaced its original purpose. A mini PC replaced it in the garage this year.

  • American workers are tired of waiting.

    Jump

  • That's the #1 most insane crash out I've read this year so far. Idk if that was worth it for you to deal with but...wonderfully navigated. I've never seen someone so fast and loose with fascism accusations.

  • No, honey, theres just too many inmigrants.

    Jump

  • Nah they don't think that far ahead. Actually this is also giving too much credit. There's no thought beyond "I want..."

  • What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials?

    Jump

  • Depends, did we find them first or did they find us first? I project our colonial past as a fear of what more advanced aliens would do. Because that's what we would do to any alien natives. Very unlikely we are technologically tied in progress.

    If they find us first, then mass panic at least at first.
