The economy as it stands is a house of cards built on promises no one keeps but enough people believe.

I have never claimed to be an expert on anything but the moment you let the fate of something rest on the guess of how much it will cost if everything goes the way you think it will, when the other half of the room hope it goes the other way seems mad.

Not shown, the two homeless guys arguing over a bin bag of plastic bottles they want to cash in.

Bikes don't stop for anyone in Amsterdam, the trams are great for getting around but as soon as you get off one you are in bike town and you need to pay attention to what's going on around you.

Back to the days of rip out the head unit and stick one in that does have the features you want?

Great. So managing printers, network settings and quickly comparing settings from two places becomes a weird game of screenshots and guessing.

Remote support workers of the world collectively shake their fist in despair.

No way on this planet I will be able to explain the new UI to your average office worker.

AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there. Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can't keep up.

What about the 'American' companies that plonked their headquarters in Ireland for tax purposes?

Surely that makes them Irish for tarrif purposes?

Easy. It's a scam to screw over anyone they feel like.

It stopped being a can the applicant afford their current outgoings and afford this loan type system a loooong time ago. Now it's a noose round the neck of anyone that has ever lost a job and missed a couple of payments or got screwed over by a company changing billing software. The number means nothing, I'm sure on some kind of grading curve it averages out but so would throwing darts at a board and assigning scores that way.

The rich fail up and everyone else has to play by the rules or get fucked over.

/Rant over

More AI bubble bullshit.

Shockingly if you create a product no one wanted or needed it sells badly.

I've been using Firefox at home for as long as I can remember. I've not found anything I can't do with it yet.

If something doesn't work you can always try it in edge of something either way.

Birthdays late December/early January suck.

Everyone is busy, everywhere puts the prices up if you do manage to get people together and then there's the joint Xmas and birthday gifts, ugh.

Anon needs to get out to a all you can eat buffet, eat a good meal go home and sleep it off. Probably won't land them a partner but they'll get to try a bunch of foods and have a conversation starter for when they do meet up with someone.

Clean yourself up and find a rich spouse?

Win the lottery?

Insurance fraud?

No? I got nothing.

Politicians

Hedge fund management

Influencers

Not exhaustive but a good start

Joey refugee here. I was registered via vlemmy but that died too so I've been ousted from two things I like this week.

You missed the gratuitous violence, blood and nudity.

Cap guns, potato guns, water guns, just plain clicky/sparky/light up guns and so on, guns for kids are nothing new. Fidget in the name is a gimmick to use bright colours and sell plastic guns to more kids.

14 hours into writing the script that was going to save you from doing the task yourself and you can't quit now, too much time has been put into this endeavour.

I really don't see the point in them restricting the NSFW stuff. Some stuff will slip through, it'll lead to posts being made in ways to try and reach the most people and get around it.

Then there will be arguments and someone will say think of the children or something.

Replace the second U with an S and it gains a lot of functionality.

Nintendo being Nintendo. They've killed websites, device vendors, projects and more. Otherwise Liksang and Bung would still be around. They take the same destroyer of worlds tactic to any meetings. Crush the opposition, no survivors.

This time I think the internet may surprise them, unless they just get a blanket order on anyone hosting copies of the code or related materiels.

Network loops are real. Network loops are common. Network loops are the leading cause of people screaming "for fucks sake!" After spending far too long looking for other solutions to why the network goes down intermittently.
