How about when they come for the next $1,000 not having paid back the first?

$100k wtf? I only remember paying for parking at the hospital…evil socialism!

There is an Irish rural accent that pronounces it AY-ther.

Me too. Out of interest do you pronounce it ‘gif’ as well?

I record meetings of my building’s board of management, nothing secret there, very mundane. I run it through Whisper and give the transcript to ChatGPT. It condenses everything into accurate minutes, resolutions and action items. Saves me a shit ton of work, finished in seconds. I’m never going back!

Floorp has been good to me.

“I think you’ll find…”

And literally the most famous programming joke, I would wager.

The way the book was explained to me, if your dad is a working stiff he’ll just tell you to work hard at whatever high paying job you can get. If your dad is a high finance type of guy, he’ll show you that the real money is in managing money.

Good concept, and true I guess. The book is useless though!

I actually liked The Fountainhead. Rugged, taciturn individualist architect slowly overcomes all the scheming poseurs. It appealed to the younger me anyway. I didn’t pick up on any deeper message at the time and this was pre-internet so I didn’t have a clue who Ayn Rand was.

And Irish – míle.

I haven’t read the source material but the movie is one of the best sci-fi films of the new millennium, and certainly one of the most enjoyable. Films like Arrival, Dune, Blade Runner 2049 are visually striking and thoughtful but Edge of Tomorrow is also great fun.

The top ten box office movies for 2024 had 8 sequels, a live action Disney remake, and the first part of an adaptation of a Broadway musical based on a book which was a prequel to another remade movie based on a book.

I reckon the 2025 list reflects the state of the industry quite well.

He’s a genius and so am I because I like him.

I’m not a programmer, but do you have something called an API? You could probably charge fees for that.

I’d still be on Windows 2K if it weren’t for everything. Stayed with 7 as long as I could. Given up caring now.

Jerboa made the experience much better for me.

Lemmy is a wonderful tool. All we need to do is add rewards, coins, video reels, promoted posts, and then a sort of celebrity/influencer culture will naturally flourish!
