Lack of commute is the only reason I took an in office job again too. I’ve spent like 7 out of 8 years of my career working from home and I really didn’t think I’d ever be convinced to go back but my new job’s office is under 10 minutes away by bike and I get at least one day a week to work from home. It’s officially 4 days a week in office but my manager is really relaxed about that requirement if my work is getting done

A movie of such quality and esteem such as Troll 2 does not need to explain itself

I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK ABOUT GOBLINS

I think I’d be okay with that. I’ve setup my keyboard so that FN+wasd act as arrow keys and I will occasionally use them that way in my editor even if I primarily use vim style movement

I enjoyed it so it was a good use of my screen space which zeroes out your criticism :)

Could be a Canadian too haha. We unfortunately inherit some Americanisms here

Maybe but you give them an inch and in a few years the ads will be targeted

Regarding Jellyfin, if the PC you got has an Intel CPU then using Intel QuickSync would actually easily outperform the NVIDIA card for transcoding.

Up until very recently I was using a cheap i3 to power my Jellyfin instance that often has 5+ streams going at a time. (The only reason I upgraded was that I had a friend getting rid of an i7 from the same gen lol)

So in the minds of MAGA:

• Fuck the police because they were interrupting a totally peaceful and loving protest
• BackTheBlue because cops are always wonderful and if you have any issues with them it was because you weren’t complying with their demands
• Jan6 was violent but everyone at the event was actually antifa
• People arrested and charged at Jan6 deserved to be exonerated because everyone at the event were peaceful god-fearing patriots

Edit: as always, I’m reminded of this quote:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Not me though

I’d love to extend rule 2 to no politics in general honestly (maybe just US politics?). I want some reprieve from it but even the damn shitposting community is overrun

What are you gaining from being so insufferable lol

Most recently, xAI has come under fire after Grok began generating nonconsensual sexual images of real people in response to X user prompts.

That’s an understatement…

while Americans might face increased localized problems, this also effects the entire world.

I’m not sure Americans know that those aren’t the same two concepts

I haven’t watched the movie but I choose to believe this is true and will dutifully share this information

I’ve been wondering this but haven’t really gotten answer on it yet: does the new American-owned TikTok network with the rest of the west’s TikTok or is the US sort of North Korea’d now?

I don’t use TikTok but my partner does here in Canada so I’ve been wondering if she’ll stop seeing American content entirely

I’m pretty sure it asks you how often you want to see the AI overview doesn’t it? Can’t you just click never?

IIRC that’s just one of the backends they use for their results

For the time being yeah. I still use Firefox on mobile myself but I do hope they release a mobile version at some point

I really like the Zen browser. It’s Firefox-based, open source and privacy focused with AI removed but it’s also really pretty and is built around vertical tabs
