Donald Trump isn’t going to save you, he’s 78 years old.

He provides a longer runway, but it’s up to you to take off.

Men’s shoulder vs hip ratio and weight makes them tip over.

If you are not sure if someone is trans … let them do this test (on first date preferably)

I'm gonna start calling Bluesky 'Wayland' since it's supposed to replace X but it's missing half the features and kinda sucks and most of the people who advocate for it do so for political-emotional rather than technical reasons

"Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:

On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”"

@[email protected] All I know about it are the memes. But a common theme of soy morality is the designated villain will be the one making sense, because NPCs see that and then claim the ideas are Literally Hitler. Real humans judge ideas based on merit.

Writer friends it is time to divorce yourself from Microsoft Word. You don’t need Office and the new imposed AI.

LibreOffice, Pages. Typora. (NOT google docs) and more are all there and available for you to use.

Leave MS behind.

And all of a sudden, there was no internet anonymity in Australia. If this is what democracy does, then democracy is highly overrated.

Behind every confluence, there is a fast and efficient, well organized and easy to use, "old wiki" the devops team still relies on that runs on an old tower workstation that predates the last four mergers and has no known asset tag.

The "old wiki" will teach you the builds, the kickstarts, the datacenter layout...it will show you the rack that leads to narnia....it will show you truths about yourself. The "old wiki" knows when and how you will die. It holds the greybeards forbidden ipmi scripts. The "old wiki" has no screen shots, no jira links. In the old wiki, the scrum master holds no power. The kanban but a distant billboard on the horizon.
