We can’t prove that currently, not everyone that has been born has also died yet.

[…] being grabbed by ICE means you are disappearing forever

I am also assuming thats the case, I am willing to do the legal fight if Im caught in the mess

What legal fight? Again, the assumption is you disappear forever. There aren’t any “legal fights”.

And this change basically just drops support for the i486. In 2026. 13 years after they dropped support for the i386. Those processors came out in 1985 and 1989 respectively. If this keeps up, we might lose support for the first Pentium CPUs (released in 1993) around 2040…

I couldn’t imagine running a modern OS on those chips, or even how I would go about installing it. We are talking about computers pre-USB and CD-ROM drives. Average hard disks were under 100MB, average ram was under 10MB. The rare specialty distros that can fit on a floppy are likely heavily modifying their kernals to work / fit anyway. I don’t understand why people are outraged by this.

Still weird you brought her up twice and refused to lookup her name. Also, no one else is bringing her up (either because they disagree or they’ve never even heard of her).

Fuck, why didn’t I think of that? I could triple my current take home pay with this one simple trick.

I’m having a stroke even trying to understand the ‘math’ there. It’d take a 10 hour workday to be “near” 5 grand a day.

Fuck amazon, but also this kinda sounds like the beginnings of ai companies fighting for control and I have a small sliver of hope that they will just destroy each other.

Ads are basically how all the bad things on the internet propagate. I do not understand the people that are technically savvy but do not run ad blockers in 2026. I wish the companies showing the ads were actually held accountable for what the ads showed so maybe they would care about shit like this.

You seem to have a real weird thing for Kyrsten Sinema and strangely can’t figure out her name…

I stared at that picture like it was a Where’s Wally for like 10 minutes before I came to check the comments and saw this note in OP’s message…

Don’t give a shit when their attitude toward supporting games actually running on linux can best be summed up as “Fuck 'em”.

Harsh truth, if you can’t get a job in the food or service industry, there is likely a real problem that is also going to make it very difficult to make it as a freelancer. You are basically asking if it is possible to start a business and be successful. Generically, yes, people do that all the time. Can you do it? That is less likely.

That xenophobia is huge red flag that the problem is more you than anything else.

Actually, we are probably both wrong and it’s the nand flash on his phone. The kind of tool bag buying meta pervert glasses probably isn’t actually a big techie…

It is really upsetting that we can’t get actually good “smart glasses”. Like, glasses that have a little screen projected on the lenses and can do searches and stuff for you on the fly, or display text like a script or something, or watch a video, or see your music playlist…

Why does everyone trying to make “smart glasses” feel compelled to include a fucking hidden camera?? And now it’s even worse with the AI riddle surveillance state we are living in. I won’t even be a little surprised to find out that Meta’s pervert glasses are being co-opted by Flock to add even more cameras to their “safety” network…

Doctors aren’t writing their notes either way

This is far from a universal truth. While it’s true that local professional medical transcriptionists are much rarer today than they were 20 years ago as a lot of doctors started using software (I remember when “Dragon: Naturally Speaking” really hit the stage everyone thought it would be revolutionary), in my experience there are a lot less doctors even using transcription these days. Some of the old timers still do since they never really bothered to learn to type, but a lot of them just type into a computer in the exam room with patients.

Maybe that’s a regional thing, I don’t know, but it is definitely the norm in my part of the world.

Check that man’s hhd for sure

I know this is nitpicky and I’m sorry but… “hdd” not “hhd”. But probably in 2026 its an ssd anyway.

Oh, so you only close the lid before you have a specific type of accident? Having time powers must be cool.

Also, please for the love of all that is good in this world, do not stand on your toilet. The seat/lid is not attached that securely, you are begging to fall and break your neck. Get a small step ladder.

Toilet has lid for a reason, to cover it when not in use. I am constantly flabbergasted that more people don’t get that. Do they leave the mayo lidless in the fridge too because it makes it easier to make a sandwich??

I think you need to read up on the difference between “free as in beer” and “free” licenses. Everything on Wikipedia is copyrighted under a GNU license, which requires any use to give credit AND ALSO be licensed under the GPL. Which AI models do not (and cannot) do.

Also, just conceptually… We built a giant, free library (and museum and art gallery and etc.) on the internet, and these parasitic AI companies came in and built a fence around it and started charging admission while massively polluting our cities and towns and gobbling up resources at an incredible rate. Then, even if you pay them their admission fees, the information you get is at best 70% correct. Why would anyone celebrate that?

We would be having a problem with it if every book was regurgitated stolen data. That’s kind of the core of how all of these generative AI models work to the point that their creators have argued in court that they wouldn’t exist at all if they weren’t allowed to steal all the training data.
