Little bit of everything!

Avid Swiftie (come join us at !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech )

Gaming (Mass Effect, Witcher, and too much Satisfactory)

Sci-fi

I live for 90s TV sitcoms

  • Please Explain Polymarket like I'm 5 and how it all started.

  • You remember those bets you'd make with your idiot high school friends?

    Well, now you can actually put real money on those bets. You can lose your entire life savings betting on Taylor Swift's color scheme at her wedding, or if a celebrity has a meltdown within the next 6 months.

    Yes, it's quite a society we've built.

  • Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel

    Jump

  • Man, that's hard. When I go there I try to follow etiquette closely, it's their custom and I want to follow it, and the woman may have been a bit of a Karen.

    However, tap water should be free. Anywhere. Maybe I just hiked a mile to get there. Maybe I'm just thirsty. 7 euro to drink water is simply extortion of your tourists. If that's etiquette then it's wrong.

  • What wishes you made were granted in a "monkey's paw curls" way but in a positive direction?

    Jump

  • Good move. Nothing kills a passion like working in the industry.

  • Op-Ed: Starbucks Execs Pull Out of Seattle to Exploit Regressive Tennessee

    Jump

  • Seattle conservatives are trying to say them leaving is because of liberal politics. Which I guess may be partly true. Fair wages, unionization, keeping corporate overreach checked, allowing competition.

    So yeah, if Starbucks is against those, then bye Starbucks

  • Got to let them learn from their own mistakes

    Jump

  • It was right out of an awkward teenage drama. Only thing that could have made it worse would have been if I peed myself. I sheepishly just walked back to my seat

  • What piece of technology can we not have because of society?

    Jump

  • We stayed out all night looking for all you can eat fish restaurants.

  • God, this story and your comment reminded me. When I was... 13 or so probably, I was at some event for my brother and his group. People were speaking and I was half paying attention. I heard them say .... <

    <lastname>

    > please come up. I thought they said my name, I started getting up, my mom tried to stop me but I was indignant. I got up there and was mortified as everyone stares at me, wondering why I'm up there. To this day I think of that, and I don't get up in front of anyone unless I'm damn sure it's supposed to be me.

  • Manga Artist Loses Entire Google Account After AI Flags His Own Artwork on Drive

    Jump

  • Google has forever been notorious for "no support". No number to call, no online agents, just help pages... which mostly redirect back to themselves. Even GCP, their cloud, does this. Unless you pay for premium top tier support you're on your own. This scenario is that in practice. There is no one to appeal to, no one to talk to, there's nothing. You build your life around something like an email address, then suddenly the entire ecosystem is gone.

    When we talk about degoogling, it's not just for tinfoilhat privacy/rights issues, it's this case too. You literally cannot control your own fate. They can (and obviously do) take down accounts.

    For anyone (I know probably not here, but think family and friends) who think that they would just appeal and somehow they would get a human, literally what is the benefit to Google to reinstate you? In their eyes you're officially a risk, something that potentially governments, police departments, and lawyers would be interested in. It's a risk they don't want to take to allow you back on. Appealing even in the best cases will probably not go your way.

  • Wind-Permit Stall Is Threatening $50 Billion in US Developments

    Jump

  • Is this putting America first? It really seems like it's only putting the oil industry first...

  • Seattle Civilian Responder Team Chafes Under Police Guild Contract Restrictions

    Jump

  • God they have done everything they can to stop CARE, even when the voters told them they wanted it they still try to stop it. Then they wonder why the public doesn't have trust in them. Maybe you at least let them attempt to do what we wanted them to do without trying to throw up every block in the path?

  • Song of the Day: the cure by Olivia Rodrigo

    Jump

  • You'll never have pop music respected here unfortunately. If you like, come over to !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech, we'd love to talk about it, and in fact posted it already today.

  • Steam in a Docker container - What am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • Live and learn. We all want people to be running the best technology out there, but when someone is struggling with a problem, it doesn't come across as helpful to suggest switching to something else completely without just reason why it would solve their specific problem.

  • Steam in a Docker container - What am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • I'll level with you, it comes off as oblivious with a touch of arrogance. Its the same energy in the Mac vs windows arguments. What would help would be explaining why you believe podman would be a better solution to OPs problem.

  • Because that's not what OP asked.

  • What does it mean when a social media is open source?

    Jump

  • Not true, because anyone else can spin up their own instance and see them too. Nothing is private here, on purpose.
