Yeah that’s where it turned from story to joke for me

Thought is good, but if life has taught me anything it’s that it’s only a matter of time until someone new takes over and uses it for their nefarious purposes. Forcing it is never a good option, it should be opt in

Damn this is insane. Using claude/cursor for work is near, but they have a mode literally called “yolo mode” which is this. Agents allowed to run whatever code they like, which is insane. I allow it to do basic things, you can search the repo and read code files, but goddamn allowing it to do whatever it wants? Hard no

As an aside, I have that coffee maker and love it! See if there’s a local coffee shop, here in my city it was stocked and they even let me try a cup from there

Oh as an aside, the coffee comes out SUPER weak at the beginning, where I thought it was broken. Give it 20-30 shots/cups and it’ll start tasting more normal. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and love it

Honestly they all suck

I’ll send it back to you then, do you have any non-LTT sources that show that it was fake allegations?

Honestly think finally found common ground, and I appreciate the thought out response here. This is the sort of discussion and comment I want to see more of here on Lemmy, thought out good discussion instead of “He’s literally hitler”. That’s really the point I was trying to make, I don’t care about Bill Gates, what I am tired of is everyone demonizing everyone else in the comments and us devolving into reddit comment sections. We’ve been better than Reddit in our comments until recently.

And ad hominem attacks are empty and hollow to me.

The fact that you don’t get the nuance that I’m trying to show and going right to comparing to literally Hitler is exactly my point. That’s not discussion, it’s quite literally the Moral Equivalence fallacy. There have been a few good comments here that made me stop and think, actual discussion, weighing pros and cons. Jumping right to Hitler was not one of them.

Again, no nuance and going right to black and white

Gamers Nexus did a full hour long deep dive into him, very illuminating

He’s been accused of, admitted to, and proven that he is paid off and goes more for entertainment/engagement than actual reviews of products. There are thousands of tech reviewers on YouTube doing honest work, I’ll always downvote the openly dishonest ones

It’s just every thread man, every one of them devolves into it and I’m so tired. It’s quite literally like the Good Place where even the act of buying a tomato will get people raging in the comments about how apparently you support climate change, slavery, and every other bad thing involved in the growing of it. Or, hear me out, I just bought a tomato. I’m just so tired of it here

Your take is more nuanced than most I see here and I appreciate that, see the other comment as a prime example.

God you hit the nail on the head, and why I’m getting very annoyed here on Lemmy. People refuse to have nuanced takes and just comment incessantly about how people are evil and doing anything makes you a bad person. Turns out people are nuance, and we can judge them as such. You can say he did some terrible things to make Microsoft successful while also saying he has done some very good things with his fortune. It is not black and white.

Setting aside all the consumerism comments I’m sure my fellow Lemmy users will fill us in about - you don’t want any black Friday deals. I worked electronics retail for almost a decade and saw it.

Black Friday “deals” aren’t percentages off products you want. For the most part they are shittier models with a letter different from their normal model number. These special black Friday models are made with parts that failed qa or just all around are cheaper. The companies don’t just magically take 20% off, they plan for it.

That $100 dollar 48" flat screen? Yeah it’s worth $100. Hope it was worth giving up time in your holidays to buy, because there’s a decent chance you’ll be returning it when it breaks.

(Tip for those buying tvs. Super bowl is the best time of year to buy a TV. They’re the actual good models and it’s the best sales of the year. Stores are in the post holiday slump and eager to move them.)

Zoey Deschanel 's she and him album. On repeat. All month. I was there, man

Lawyers and marketers who refuse to see nuance and view everything as a potential threat

Not offended. Annoyed that on every thread here it devol es into politics and becomes a depressing place. I know the world is depressing and the everything is politics GM but goddamn I found this comic sweet, I followed xkcd through the cancer years, and someone saying “must be nice to have money” really feels disrespectful to them. Yeah, it probably did help, and yeah, our country sucks, but can we just have a nice comic for once that celebrates them making it through cancer? Why does every comment section on Lemmy have to have someone saying “Hey look! The system is fucked!”. I know it is! That’s why I was here trying to enjoy something for a few seconds!

Jfc this is exactly why people run to the right, because so many people on the left can’t let anything be a nice moment without making sure everyone knows that they’re the most moral person in the room. We all already know the problems.

Stop virtue signalling. It’s transparent, annoying, and hurts the causes more than helps.
