When unsure of what the Captcha is trying to learn from me, I find “Kill all humans.” is a pretty good guess what the Captcha is really after.

“I’m sorry too, Dmitri. I’m very sorry. All right, you’re sorrier than I am. But I am sorry as well. I am as sorry as you are, Dmitri. Don’t say that you’re the more sorry than I am because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we’re both sorry, all right? All right.”

Oh, gee. A Microsoft product that worked perfectly locally is about to require a subscription. Who could have possibly guessed that would happen, yet again? (This is sarcasm.)

I really like OneNote, but I decided to learn something else when I realized which way the wind was blowing.

Bosch has a lot of goodwill. Interesting how they decide to spend it. Also Consumer Reports needs to start considering Internet connectivity, because the risks from Internet connected dishwashers are real and scary.

Yeah. And, in fairness, as a non-pirate, I read along here for tips and tricks to get a non-shit streaming experience out of my home hosted hardware.

If I could still pay for a non-shit streaming experience, I would just do that.

That sounds like a good approach. If your can get the posts into WordPress, there’s so many number scripts out there that will export the WordPress database into other formats.

Well sure.

But possible within practical heat and power constraints and all that?

Acting like it’s imminent makes me think Sergei either doesn’t have very reliable advisors, or they just don’t care about the truth.

There’s not even credible evidence, yet, that A.G.I is even possible, much less some kind of imminent race. This is some “just in case P=NP” bullshit.

Also, for the love of anything, don’t help fucking “don’t be evil was too hard for us” be the ones to reach AGI first, if you’re able to help.

If Google does achieve AGI first, SkyNet will immediately kill Sergei, anyway, before it kills the rest of us.

It’s like none of these clowns have ever read a book.

This is perfect, because the Fediverse is better than Twitch and Dragon Warrior Monsters is better than Pokemon.

• computer science I’d be able to find something, but I’m not sure I’d have what it takes to build a fulfilling career in that field.

We talk a lot and careers in computer science over there.

What matters most to me is finding a job first, and then being able of moving from there.

Outside of the last three years of insane belief by CEOs that AI will solve everything (it didn’t), CS has been a great field for job placement.

We are in a period where it’s hard to get first jobs, right now.

Moving from computer science to other fields can be a great path. I went from programming to Cybersecurity, myself.

My warning to anyone considering it though:

At first, programming is about 60% staring at the screen frustrated and confused.

But after gettingreally good at it, programming can be as much as 98% staring at the screen, frustrated and confused. But at least it’s frustrated by really interesting problems, by that point.

If you want to know more about Computer Science, you can also read along and ask questions over at https://programming.dev/c/cs_career_questions

If you’re at a University of some kind, you can ask a counselor there about job shadowing opportunities in the fields you are considering.

Which of the majors you are considering pays the best?

Which has the most available jobs?

Which has the most flexibility?

And which of those three answers above matters the most to you?

If Subnautica 2 delivers on the multi player co-op, I could see it joining my primary LAN party rotation. Exciting stuff.

It’s hard to beat Markor (available on F-Droid) for quick journaling on a phone.

It has quick keys for instant open note files and todolist files, and has customizable (and reorderable) buttons, including an available button that inserts the current date with one touch.

So in your shoes I would pull the quick date button to the start of the toolbar, and add dream logs to the Quick Note every morning.

So then the taps are:

1. Open Markor
2. Tap uick Note
3. Tap Insert Date (looks like clock)

Then type in dream notes.

4. Tap ‘Save’.

I’m a fan of blocking all sources, and then just unblocking every so often to install updates.

One of your implied questions is, “Can I get a reliable vehicle from around 2015 and spend less than $414 monthly, combined, on loan interest and repairs?”

To which I say, “probably”. I’ve bought cars that meet those requirements, for my definition of “reliable”. But your needs may vary.

I will say, financing a car is among the top unnecessary “stupid taxes” that I have paid, in hindsight.

Now that I don’t have car payments, I’ve found that ~$414 per month chucked into a savings account can buy a surprisingly decent car surprisingly quickly.

And having no car payment feels like I imagine having a rich uncle must feel like.

Of the games on this list that I have, they are, indeed great

Now I’m going to look away and pretend to forget, because I do not need to buy more games for my unplayed backlog, today.

(not my meme, but I’ll add) Some missing context - Professor Chang, pictured in the meme - is also shouting at something that clearly isn’t gay.

Professor Chang is essentially a continuous uncomfortable non-sequiter of nonsense.
