fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck it's ssd/logicboard related

iMac suddenly powered off and wouldn't turn on again. Took it to a repair guy. Hoping that it's a $350 power supply fix and not something wrong with the logicboard

Dang, a thunderclap just shook the whole house. Must've been fairly close or even right overhead.

Been rewatching Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex and the subject of digital/virtual drugs came up, and that's pretty much what all the genAi crap is isn't it? Digital crack.

I love the animated show!

I didn't know about this, but have applied!

wait, there's a tim horton's korea????

A FILIPINO STORY!? wut!

Hi everyone! Are you a 🍁 Canadian Cartoonist Opposed to AI 🚫🤖? Do you want to tell the government about it? 📢

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

So @josephcox.bsky.social watched over six hours of this deposition featuring DOGE staffer Justin Fox who, when asked how he defined “DEI” kept saying he needed to refer to the EO.

Highlights here:

Just needs a protag figure drawn by Amano and New York is the next big JRPG

not a jingle, but "call pizzaville at 7-3-6-3-6-3-6, not 7-free-sex-free-sex-free-sex" 🙈😅

as a giant nerd who was born in 1984 who finds picking faves difficult, this is pretty much impossible for me.

for those who don't know: it was the year of terminator, last star fighter, indiana jones: temple of doom, gremlins, karate kid, this is spinal tap, neverending story, ghostbusters, etc.

i feel - and say - the same (several times) about designers (all branches) who love to use genAI. a good design relies on the designer's creativity and ability to know when/where to break design rules.

i don't really play fps games and have only heard of marathon in passing (without seeing any screenshots until now too!), and dang that looks really cool

like seriously, wow

Imaging a human saying to you, "i will only ever tell you what i think you want to hear, based on what i know about ppl like you, how you start our conversation, & what you say during it. Sometimes that will sound like truth, sometimes like errors or lies. Now: Let's talk about your medical history"

Maya's story in the new season of #Shrinking is hitting me hard.

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

A meme of a summoning circle with the words "Catastrophic Gen Ai Bubble Collapse" in the center.

One day this stupid thing will work.

there is no way for "mindful use" so fuck genAI

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

i have not played Pokemon in ages but the new starters are adorable

i did not know about the 2% back on applecare, and am now considering signing up for costco lol

i'm so firmly in my old angry man era that i would have loudly told him to get/use some headphones whenever there was signal and cheer the quiet whenever there wasn't 🙈🤣

20 percent rise in ticket sales for NHL games, as reported by SeatGeek, since HEATED RIVALRY aired. Much of it surging from women particularly.

And every single one of those ticket holders found out exactly how much contempt the NHL has for them in a two and half minute clip.

Burned it all down.

i will live forever from sheer spite fuelled willpower instead of letting a machine emulate me.
