No, you’re one of the few names I recognize here that I enjoy seeing around

Before we get off on the wrong foot, I want to say that you and I have a lot of positive interactions on this site and I generally agree with you.

This is a meme for an edgy freshman with Fight Club and Joker posters in their room. A scripted science show with a limited scope and a decent budget that was cherry picked for being one season vs a cheap, fast reality show that was also cherry picked for its longevity is a bad comparison and doesn’t imply anything about the intelligence of a country.

But instead of defending it, all of your replies are just “look at this other way Americans are stupid!” which just makes it seem like you are that high schooler caricature I described earlier.

I KNOW you’re not a teenager and I’ve always seen you act better than that in other threads so what going on with this one?

Duck Dynasty?? Is this meme from the 2005 collection or is it 2006?

Small clarification: more young people than ever are openly LGBT. They were always there, they just had to hide it.

Menards used to be way cheaper than Home Depot but now they’re about the same except Home Depots are usuallymuch cleaner

I probably wouldn’t have kept playing it if a friend didn’t buy it for me and insist so I get it!

She dreams in color, she dreams in red… Can’t find a betting man…

I thought the story of Control was just ok but the gameplay was awesome.

It didnt land on my Top 25 list BUT…that one level (people who played it know exactly which I mean) was easily one of the best sequences I’ve ever played. I have no idea how they made it feel like you were still in control (hehe) as everything around you went crazy.

Unfortunately that level is very late in the game otherwise I’d implore you to stick it out to see it. But since you quit so early because you weren’t having fun, you probably will continue to not have fun until that part.

That’s a banger of a quote and a feeling I can totally get behind. Oh, you’re gonna make me kill people? Then let’s start with you.

I didn’t say there was no use, I said there was very little benefit.

Your only reasoning for saying it will be something people wouldn’t be able to live without is that it will save you time when you forget to bookmark something you want to find 6 months ago. I don’t find that compelling at all and I can’t fathom it being a “must have” feature for 99.99% of people.

To your edit, it is unquestionably a trade off. You are being monitored by Microsoft. Screenshots of your computer will be uploaded to their servers regularly. It doesn’t matter what happens with them - that information is now out there. Even if it was impossible to hack Microsoft (lol), there is no way to spin this to say you aren’t giving up privacy. Until this is feature is completely offline with no telemetry going to a corporation, it is a privacy nightmare.

Windows 11 is free and as the saying goes, “if you’re not paying for it, YOU are the product.” So yes, most people think this is bad no matter what.

FWIW I did not downvote either of your comments

It will get through to them when they hire an anti-vaxxer to run the tests and, of course, twists the data.

So what you’re saying is…if you remember to save things, you’re giving up your privacy/security for nothing?

Those are such weak use cases for letting Microsoft take screenshots of my computer like the DPRK. The one time a year I might find it useful is just not worth the risk. And I really don’t like this being thrust upon less-techy people who don’t understand what they’re giving up.

What is important about this?

What will this allow me to do that I wasn’t able to before?

What benefit does this feature have to the average user? What about the power user?

You ever think about how someone at those camps needs to curate that playlist? Or perhaps the owner already having the perfect gay porn playlist was the inspiration for the camp…

Third one on the second row got me good. Huh??? The bread won’t fit in the toaster sideways???

Regardless of the origin, it’s still a bit too close to corporate worship for me.

And as shitty as it is to selectively filter posts like that, I don’t think it’s a problem worth creating a bot for track. OP calling it out to make others aware was the right thing to do - let the users there decide if they care.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to create my own instance: McChicken.zone

Hexbear has been defederated for a long time and I don’t interact with any .ml users enough

Of the instances federated with Lemmy.world, the only ones I’ve formed a negative opinions about are awful.systems and hilariouschaos

The fact that the instance is named after an IKEA product was enough reason for me not to make an account there…

I get it, the shark plush is cute. Just a bit too…consumer? For me

To add your last paragraph - today’s robot may be worse but next year’s robot might not be. And with how far Boston Dynamics (and others) have come in such a short time, it’s not hard to imagine that future getting here soon.

Corporations have shown time and time again they fire people by the thousands as soon as it’s financially viable and since this tech will be implemented quickly across the industry, those ex-employees won’t be able to find work. Governments need to start taking UBI seriously if they don’t want to massive civil unrest.

As much as I cringe at the “come and take it” crowd, a lot of them work these at-risk jobs. They will take their anger at their ex-employee and aim it at the government.
