Oprah does AI: The hype engine resorts to celebrity promo
  • I’d love to defend Oprah for her Blackness or her being a woman but she’s a billionaire.

    The untold insane wealth. It’s like being a cop. No matter who you were before, the unchecked power renders them all the same.

  • Lied about a review of a product prototype they’d been sent. “Lost” it, gave a bad review based on tests of it (but it was a different product, not the actual one). Then later apparently they SOLD this prototype & told the company who had lent them it that they’d lost it.

    So you can totally trust them claiming they didn’t sexually harass women employees. /s

  • Sorry remind me when if ever you’ve walked through a shopping center and needed to know where your safest exits were? Where you’d hide with the thickest cover? Thought about which stairwell might be safest?

    Not just a shopping center. How about your workplace. Or church. Or which corner of your house you’d survive longest in.

    Thought about all those things, have you? Wow congrats, aren’t you so ahead of the game.

    Talking as if all my friends and family haven’t ever once given a thought to guns. What a lazy, facile, mindlessly cruel claim to make.

    What a bad person with an ugly heart you are to make it.

    Fuck you.

  • superuser.com How to remove Creative Cloud Files shortcut from Windows Explorer (left Navigation Pane) after April 2021 update?

    The "Creative Cloud Files" shortcut was a pain to get rid of in the past, but after a recent update in spring 2021, the damn shortcut is back, and none of the old tricks work anymore. Has

    I had already uninstalled Creative Cloud but its zombie folder was still there. (Win11/64bit/most recent updates.) Looked for hours, tried tons, nothing would work. Maybe for you Adobe's unPinCCF tool would work, or using regedit to set System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree to 0 would - but not for me.

    TLDR (thanks, Aubrey and Bortao) Delete the following registry key (after making a backup of your registry ofc):

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\0E270DAA-1BE6-48F2-AC49-5CE0DBECC398

    Bortao reports- "The last part of the number is random, so open Regedit and browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace, find a key starting with 0E270DAA-1BE6-48F2-AC49 and remove it." Me, I found it by Ctrl-F and looking for "creative cloud files" until I landed on that one. Deleted it, rebooted, GONE.

    This is NOT the only thing that worked for other people, so I should post my notes from this long trek, maybe one of the simpler paths might work for others

    Loom alternatives? Recording a demo here. Desktop app dies often, only a reinstall gets it going again briefly. (Win11, VPN or not, permissions all set, HDR unchecked.)

    Web app won’t show my camera on VSCode or Git, only the Loom site. That part is vital 🤷‍♂️ so I’m stuck using the desktop app I think. (using FF mostly but tried Chromium (pls no Chrome))

    Will just buying it magically fix all this? 🤷‍♂️ Thanks in advance for any ideas 👍✌️
