How is Android's share menu such garbage?
  • The most egregious part is that it used to be good. There were things that could have been done to improve it, but instead they devolved it into a dumpster fire.
    Which means that it didn't go to shit from neglect, but instead they allocated resources to actively fuck it up

  • Did that seem excessively rough? I got a bit of a stomach bug that gave me the ass squirts all morning, so I had a little too much time to myself while on the shitter. Sorry if I went too hard, I was actually just trying to razz you a bit.
    But for real man, lead with the alphabet soup first, then follow with the experience. To anyone without a technical background, a cert just means your company paid for you to go to Vegas and spend a week at a luxury hotel.

    Kolkata rape: India doctors defy court order to continue strike
  • I guess when you get tired of writing stories about school shootings, rapes, and murders in your own country, you can always... actually I have no fucking idea...

    Maybe they just want you to "know" that brown people are bad?

    Bruh even the Bleach blonde, bad built butch body lady called Laura Loomer a racist
  • Ya, we haven't even gotten close to that line for her. This is a staged attempt of her white washing her and the GOPs reputation. She can now point to this when people say she is racist and "look at how I called out racism".
    The ridiculous part is just how overt and gross the racism had to be for it to even be slightly plausible that she would be offended by it.

    Bodycam shows police dragging NFL star Tyreek Hill from car before season opener
  • No, you don't get it... He not only didn't quake in fear and shit his pants like you are apparently required to do, but he had the fucking audacity to do it while black. How fucking dare he only comply with their demands! Doesn't he know that these brave enforcers of the written, unwritten, and made on the spot rules deserve to both see and smell your extreme fear when they are randomly exercising their authority to be your judge, jury, and executioner just because you committed some minor traffic infraction.

  • I know in the network and IT nerd arguments that you like to drag out the alphabet certs to wow each other with your, "I'm so smart" mic drops, but you should really lead with CCIE next time. And THEN follow up with the amount of on hands experience as your big finish rather than doing it the other way around. The problem is that laymen are going to look at the CCIE and think "wow you got a certificate, whooptydoo". Most people are going to be much more impressed with the thousands of hours of experience over a certificate. I mean, you are already battling hard against the whole extreme pedantry, "douche bag dropping into a laymen's conversation to brag about how much he knows and schooling everyone on how they are using the terms wrong" thing you are trying to do, so if you are going to try to impress us with how smart you are, you gotta cater to your audience better.

  • Ahhh, I get it now. You are very knowledgeable in one fringe aspect of networking, so that makes you an expert in all things network related.
    I'm sorry dude, normally I am down for a pedantic argument about nonsense with a self proclaimed expert, but I just don't have the bandwidth this week. Maybe next time.

    Pro-Trump ad uses Latin to target Latino voters
  • I am probably completely wrong, but I thought he was saying that he could see the Democrats putting this exact sign up, not one like it. On the surface it might appear to be pro Republican, but in reality it is not. Just like the robo calls people were getting where they claimed to be Biden and told people not to vote in primary.

    The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
  • I don't currently have a computer powerful enough to host a top tier LLM like chatgpt4. If I can't even run it, I sure as shit could never continue to train it with new data. I often use chatgpt with my phone and the thought of doing either one is ridiculous.
    There are ways to make money on open source outside of the open source item itself. Redhat has done just that with Linux.
    An LLM is just software. No matter what algorithm, tool, or fairy magic was used to amalgamate the data it consumed, they all sucked in open source code and just like any other software that includes open source software, it should be subject to the licensing on the open source software, which pretty much means they should be open source themselves. Companies that want to make money off of AI trained on public data can make their money on the value they add, just like redhat.
    The biggest issue I see right now is how to deal with AIs tendency to output data untransformed. Trademark and all those types of licenses are negated as long as the idea within is transformed, but it is really hard to argue transformation when the stupid thing is pooping out word for word quotes, but acting as if it is "new" and transformed.

    The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong
  • Do you honestly think that they never had a way to avoid meat going bad until refrigerators? So, they would kill a 2000lb buffalo, carve off 100 lbs and just leave the rest to rot? Then what? Rinse and repeat the next day?

  • Then you would still have a token ring configuration, because that is not home Ethernet works.
    Although you wouldn't have to worry as much about high winds, so it would have some advantages, but I still wouldn't recommend it.

  • I wasn't talking about the protocol, I was talking about the topography. Each station is dependent upon the station before it. So much like an old fashioned string of Christmas lights, if one bulb dies the whole string goes dark.

  • Be glad you never had to suffer through the hell that is token ring. And given how awful it truly is, I am surprised that they have decided to recreate it wirelessly. I understand why (the why is money, it's always money) but you would have thought they would have learned their lesson.

    In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You Mention
  • You don't even have to be logged in, or even go to the same website. There are a number of companies that offer free analytics tools to websites. A completely innocent website that just wants to know how many people have visited their page might use a free people counting widget from Google, Facebook, or wherever. Now every time that webpage gets loaded by a browser so does that widget. The widget itself doesn't even have to report back to the original creators. If it includes something hosted by the original creators, then they can track the destination IP and browser tags.

  • Yup, that is a wireless token ring.
    I get how much cheaper it would be to install, but the maintenance has to be outrageous. But I guess ongoing costs are easier for them to budget.
