I hope when he gives his lecture, the students egg him on.

And when I say egg him on… I mean throw. At. And a large quantity of.

Yeah I’m quoting my favourite line by Pam. The best character in True Blood.

I am so over Sookie and her precious fairy vagina!

1980s tech CPU

So it can already run Wolfenstein and Linux…

The story of the modern PC is about hobbyist, in my opinion. It was a bunch of tech guys slapping things together, figuring it out as they went and cowboy stuff like writing specifications on the plane on the way to a conference. I understand what you’re saying about the limitations around design and production… but these things aren’t impossible just difficult.

Maybe a new discovery in physics or transistor manufacturing will be the key to this new era. Or a bunch of things like that adding up over time until one weirdo figures it out and changes the world.

If you love bubble wrap, you’ll love Australia!

The real tech revolution won’t be until we can make our own hardware ; enthusiast designed and made processors and semiconductors using consumer grade tools, similar to how you could make your own metal chains out of tools at the hardware store. Until then we’ll be beholden to the billionaire class to grant us access. What I’m saying is we need to make it cheaper and easier to make computers in the first place. No amount software is gonna save you if you don’t have independent hardware.

What’s the problem? That’s just me from morning to lunch… and until evening and bed.

Cult of stupidity.

100% mate, we got drop bears and other venomous mammals. Shits crazy down here!

As an Australian I am horrified at this. What kind of city forbids public barbecue?

What’s next, forbidding public displays of joy?

As a gay man… lol.

Context: There is a long history of gay men using public toilets for… making new friends.

A kid died in Australia because a doctor botched the circumcision of a toddler and he went septic.

Barbaric cultural practise to do it to children, but I do think it’s fine if they medically need it or you are an adult and want it done.

Epstein’s Corinthian

Sigh, TPTB are just intent on ruining The Expanse for us aren’t they?

Now I’m imagining Home Alone, Sam Altman and Jensen Huang are breaking into people’s homes to tell them about how good AI is…

That is essentially how AI news headlines feel nowadays. And about how well their attempts to set the narrative lands with a public that is over it.

Imagine if you pirated a bunch of movies, and then went to the cinema and bragged about it. That’s what Altman is doing there.

Strict parents also love to promote intellectual pursuits while allowing none of the freedom that allows for intellect to develop. Literally torture.

Gobbles!

Ooof, that is a solid heads up, thank you!

I have bought some things from UMart out of convenience but always prefer to support my local independent PC stores. I guess this just reeenforces why the latter is so important!
