Local treasure, Kyle Clark, did a bit about this:

You can tell that’s an old article because you haven’t been able to get a $4 beer in sports stadiums in forever. I ordered a tall boy at a baseball game this season and it set me back $20!

I like how every gamer has a Steam library full of games they’ll never play, but thinks that someone else might want to play them some day. It’s like the modern day equivalent of a grandparent’s attic.

That’s how I talk to my cat.

“Meow!”

“Really?”

“MEEEOOOWW!”

"Oh my goodness, never in your whole life?"

“MEEEEEEEEOOOOWWW!!”

“Ok then let’s get you fed, you poor thing.”

The video specifically calls out Creality from a few years ago - and also the Bambu stuff recently.

I thought he made some interesting points about how ultimately this type of legislation is just encouraging 3D printer manufacturers to just abandon open source, something they’ve been trying to do for years.

There’s a saying that goes “A burden shared is a burden halved. A joy shared is a joy doubled.”

Having a few close friends makes bad times suck less and good times even better.

I heard he was just up over 50 thousand too. Poor guy.

I’m glad you provided a serious answer, because I thought the bottom picture was just a joke and not a reference to an actual person or thing that had happened.

Yeah they’re doing it backwards. AI is on by default unless you specifically go to noai.duckduckgo.com

Copying a comment I made from another thread:

If you select “No” it gives you an option to go to an alternate DDG homepage “noai.duckduckgo.com”. But it looks like if you just go to their normal homepage, they’ve got a link to DuckAI at the top, searching for images defaults to including AI images, and they have a Search Assist that uses AI as well.

So even though the overwhelming majority of their users have responded “No AI”, they’re still defaulting everyone to the “Yes AI” experience unless you use an alternate URL. That’s kind of shitty. I mean at least they have a “no” option, but seems like it should be the default.

You warned me, but I didn’t listen. Why didn’t I listen?!

Try not to get hit by any cars on the way to the parking lot!

Same. My older brother gives me hell for not eating spicy wings and ordering mild when he’s ordering atomic volcano or whatever. In like “dude, my intestines cannot tolerate that. I will wake up at 3:00AM in pain.” He doesn’t believe me.

That’s all the Internet really is, in the end.

Until it’s time for layoffs

The key to a good career in IT is to not have everything run too smoothly. If your systems have 100% uptime, it’s easy for people to forget that you exist and are needed. The occasional bug reminds them that their lives would collapse without you.

"Look just because we control all three branches of government, have replaced compent government workers with loyal ones, tried to overturn the last election we lost and are working to ensure we’ll never be able to lose another (assuming our plan to incite riots doesn’t work so we can just declare a national emergency so we don’t have another election), have created a secret police to snatch people off the streets, are prosecuting our political opponents or anyone that we deem to be not loyal enough, are removing press credentials of journalists and trying to force news outlets to sign agreements to what that can report, are using the FCC to silence voices of dissent, have sent in the military to occupy our own cities, have had friendly oligarchs purchase traditional and social media companies to silence critics and push our own propaganda, are using government resources to push partisan messages, have declared anyone that disagrees with us as anti-American, are using our military to sink civilian boats and murder the people inside, are ignoring orders of judges who don’t rule in our favor, let our oligarchs choose which government programs to axe, created our own cryptocurrency to facilitate bribery by foreign nations, have declared anti-fascism to be terrorism…

doesn’t mean we’re fascist!"

Not sure why, but this image wasn’t showing for me in Voyager or when I tried to open it on the web. I was able to get a thumbnail loaded in Firefox, so here’s what it says in case anyone else is having the same problem.

The dumbest person you know is currently being told “You’re absolutely right!” by ChatGPT.
