On the caring continuum, I am right here.

@ilyamiskov @droidbeauty I agree with what you're saying. Unfortunately it's how it will be. Middle managers demanding "value for the shareholder" by lowering the entry barrier through tool usage and expecting nonstop slop output.

Long-term, everyone will get too dumb to understand any of it.

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@terrynewman Sorry for your loss.

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@redheadranting They'll just give you another one and then you'll feel obligated to use it. Just throw it out and be done.

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@Senpaisaysbye No, no. You dreamed of creating value for the shareholder.

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@mcfluffypant @preta_6 Yes. When I said regulated code I meant as in, what the vehicle comes with, not what you bring to it.

You can always put an aftermarket spoiler on a front wheel drive car, but it doesn't have the same purpose as on a rear wheel drive car.

@BrodieOnLinux Given that Gnome is heavily funded and supported by corporations, it's kind of weird that the radicals can enact a no-AI policy when the corporations use AI!

@Nithya_Shrii I have no brain and must vaccinate.

I did enjoy the soap opera that is this story. Worth listening to her statement here as she does make some good points that this went viral on zero evidence and via improper process which now has caused problems for other people.

Hey, “journalists!”

This one’s for you:

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@dg_512 @anthony_berndt @IslerSO @exQUIZitely Yes, a game that does both is Colonization from Microprose. I know because I set it up recently.

But I do something better now!

Instead of selecting MT-32, I select "General Midi" and use a SC-55 soundfont in the emulator.

Majority of "MT-32" compositions were done on SC-55.

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@IslerSO @exQUIZitely Yes, but it's not the same thing. MT-32 is midi that plays stored samples for music. SB Pro generates tones. A versatile game would leverage both for different things, if you had both.

@TheMarcitect In 'Nam, unpopular commanders got fragged. It'll be an interesting time.

@radioactivered I have a bunch of native ferns in my yard. Maybe these. I haven't been eating them though. Disappointing to read this because I was contemplating doing so, now I will need to do a species specific identification if I am able to do so.

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@JonFraserTF No. She is an excellent speaker, and attractive to look at but when it comes right down to it, it's a lot of words and not much action. She promised years ago to stop/get rid of the migrants, and basically has not. She is like the rest of them.

All of them disappoint me.

@CoryChiarelli @MBrant75 They probably wouldn't let him.

All the skiing except for the jump is Winkler.

@AAGDhillon @CivilRights It would be nice if you were looking into it because it is against the law, and not because the story wasn't immediately buried..

@DuxVul His wife is worth £500 million. He won't lose his mind, they'll just purchase the US gold card which is only 1 million USD.

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@EuroDale On the flip side, you'd be training and arming those who came to loot not build..

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@syl_sylv7966337 I agree. I'll revisit it in the future when a new device appears.

I also consider it a vulnerability to depend on a physical device. Drop or lose it, better have backup login codes somewhere.

[Rock Steadfastson @bugler]

@syl_sylv7966337 X's implementation sucks. Every time I've tried it, it doesn't send the notification or prompt. Last time I had both an Android and iOS device (both admittedly older) logged in, neither got the prompt and neither could be used to unlock.

Was a pain to unlock w/o passkey.

@PositivFuturist During the Vietnam war, unpopular commanders had grenades tossed into their tent. It was called fragging.
