This will also be my first time not preordering a Pokemon game since Black, let alone buying it. Not that I won’t still play it by other means.

Guess I lied. I didn’t have the Virtual Boy. But does the Pokemon Mini really count as a console?

It still most likely is the lowest grade stuff, just with bits of leftover Wagyu tossed in just so they can call it Wagyu chili.

This whole practice, among other things, is so shitty that I decided to not get a Switch 2, having had every Nintendo console since the NES.

But it’s important to make the distinction between disabling and bricking. It may seem like a technicality, but that’s the kind of thing that’ll get a lawsuit dismissed. Not that I have any faith in that process anyway.

It’s be even better if they went just ten minutes down the road to Virginia or Maryland.

That was originally one of the intended purposes of cryptocurrency, or at least claimed to be. Too bad we can’t have anything without needing to make it an investment engine.

If he’s active duty Army, try firstnamelastname@usa.army.mil firstname.lastname@usa.army.mil. if it’s a somewhat common name try adding .1 after the name and incrementing up if necessary.

As a General, he’s likely in charge of some really big organization, like a whole military base or CCMD (combatant command). Try looking through the emails you get to see if you can find some context for where he might work, then search for an about page or contact page on the public web. You won’t get him directly but someone who knows how to route the information up to him.

What’s he going to do next, go after white people who are simply proud of their heritage?

That’s got to be it. Cloud compute is expensive when you’re not being funded in Azure credits. One the dust settles from the AI bubble bursting, most of the AI we’ll see will probably be specialized agents running small models locally.

Looks like they’re replacing parts of the hiring process, too. Nearly every single job description and recruiter message looks AI-generated, my resume is at the mercy of some HR algorithm, and who knows what they’re cooking up for actual interviews.

But they still expect us to specially craft an individual resume and cover letter for each job we apply to? With all this corporate wordsmithing that only ever applies to writing those resumes? Fuck that. Hey ChatGPT, here’s a job posting, match it up with my resume and generate a friendly cover letter. The whole process has become so formulaic with corporate-speak that whatever LLMs spit out are way better than anything we’d be able to come up with on our own.

Slopsquatting is already taking off

I’ve heard something along the lines of, “it’s not when computers can pass the Turing Test, it’s when they start failing it on purpose that’s the real problem.”

My autistic wife is the reason our home hasn’t inexplicably burned to the ground!

I mean, I’ve only gotten those from one tracker, and haven’t gotten them since I’ve removed that one tracker. Sonarr at least recognizes it’s not a media file and won’t copy it to your media folder. And you can use regex filters with qBittorrent. There hasn’t been a legitimate use of .arj in what, 30 years? So you won’t be missing anything by filtering it.

Incubus:

The point of the jungle is that it sticks around after you leave, lingering in your subconscious, always on standby for the next time you need some landscaping tools at a fraction of the price of those other guys.

Looks like we aren’t too far off from that.
