Darth Putin @darthputinkgb.bsky.social · 6h

OTD in 2016 Gorbachev stated quite categorically that he never received a promise by NATO not to admit new members to the alliance.

He said the idea that Russia was betrayed is a myth. Which triggers my trolls.

Copilot PCs are the raison d'être for Copilot, as Copilot is the raison d'être for MSFT's 'AI' boondoggle.

The delightful Catch-22 here is of course that if you're smart enough to know what Copilot is, you're also smart enough to avoid it like the bubonic plague.

A day of mashing head against writer's block, fixed by flipping virtual tables and putting on a Prodigy album.

Heck, even in Star Trek the overwhelming amount of user interaction goes via typing and the pressing of buttons.

Data extraction. Cartoon from last year.

#privacy #data #Google #Meta #Apple

Cartoon showing a street with apartment buildings. People inside the apartments and walking on the street are all staring at a smartphone, laptop or tablet. Each person has a big straw stuck inside its head, which is connected to an even bigger straw that is running down the middle of the street. The giant straw passes through a wall that has a sign that reads 'Private - No Entry'. Behind the wall the straw divides and leads to the corporate offices of Apple, Google and Meta.

Clearly drag queens are a PsyOp by Big Clown designed to flush out those of us with a functioning survival instinct when confronted with clowns.

It's basically a re-run of the crypto bubble, yeah. Just much worse and with a much bigger bubble.

I sure as heck am going to stand clear before it blows up. Also bought the last SSDs I should need for now.

Maya Posch @hackkitten.bsky.social · 11h

If you like buying GPUs, SSDs, HDDs and memory for reasonable prices, you're about to get really unhappy. The 'AI' bubble is now sucking in the annual capacity of all of these products.

We plebs may have SSDs for 400+% more, as we ask ChatGPT why SSD prices are so high.

Uh oh, it's happening: ADATA chairman says the perfect storm of simultaneous DRAM, SSD and HDD shortages is already upon us and it looks like prices are only going in one direction

All in the name of AI slop.

If your reason is however (c) You're a Nazi, in that case you are probably a Nazi.

Quacking and waddling ducks and all that.

Only reasons why I'd have a swastika in view when on camera would be because: (a) historical photographs, or (b) Asian works of art and/or photographs where it's a neutral symbol of prosperity.

E.g. I have a Japanese book with a temple photograph featuring a 'swastika' :D

Hot take: the Valve Steamdeck and similar devices are just awkward ultra-portable gaming laptops.

Although classified as carnivores, wolves may sometimes follow an omnivorous diet. They can eat meat, eggs and even fruit!

This time of year, pumpkins are a special treat for our ambassador wolves.🎃 #wolffact

Yeah, I see all the gushing from his and other channels about Bambu Lab printers, and I get this for the self-confessed 'Apple of 3D printers'. They're slick and work well, as long as you stick to the limits set by Bambu.

Just don't ask questions or demand to plug it into an Ethernet switch.

Maya Posch @hackkitten.bsky.social · 1d

Oh wow, Bambu Lab is really shafting people with the new P2S.

Only an 8 GB eMMC? And slow WiFi while omitting Ethernet completely again?

What masochist would voluntarily buy trash like this?
