I’m glad that I’m old enough to have had all of my parasocial relationships die ages ago.

I honestly can’t tell the difference. The difference might be in texture, but I eat a lot of soup

Doctors Warn That AI Companions Are Dangerous in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 22 points 13 hours ago

This feels pretty obvious to me. Hearing kids talking about using AI often feels like mass delusions rippling out. We’re largely not wired for this, socially or genetically. It’s real shitty times ahead.

AI wish fulfillment dystopia has been a relatively common topic for authors for ages. Unless we course correct, the next few generations are headed straight for it.

Is this common in the rpg space? in c/rpgmemes@ttrpg.network

I was deeply confused for a second. I’ve only referred to them as ttrpgs for ages, so I was wondering why you’d need friends for a chiefly solo video game genre.

I mean to say, if you don’t maintain proper macros, you’ll never cease being sore. Your body can pull protein from elsewhere but it gets dicey after a while

Just remember your diet while doing it. Nothing worse than training without the diet pegged. Treat yourself to your protein of choice. It’s both necessary and delicious!

Playing with some kids, I kicked a soccer ball for the first time in years. I walked with a limp for days afterward. On the bright side, I can kick a soccer ball without issue now.

As a kid, you’d never had the opportunity to avoid a new activity for very long. Atrophy feels like the ultimate novelty of adulthood.

Brutalism is associated with Soviet bloc buildings.

And then it bobs on top of the surface of the water like the saddest, most persistent log you’ve ever seen, until you drown it with piss some hours later. Terrible for your pipes. Do not recommend

Not exactly an ideal situation either way, but that’s it. Fundamentally, figuring out a way to regulate overzealous immune systems is the ends. This is one means, based in our evolutionary history, maybe. That’s about as far as we’ve come on this thread

I’ve found incorrect information on there before, but this is just nonsense

How much money would it take for you to eat hot soup while watching a spooky movie? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I usually watch tv while I eat, and quickly realized that horror and bisque aren’t the ideal match. $200 for me.

When a tutorial in a game stretches out far too long, do you also picture yourself punching the tutorial npc in the throat and running away? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’ve been going through some older rpgs, and I’ve found that the tutorials are both entirely out of character and mind numbing. It’s hard not to envision myself taking my time back by violence. Anyone else do something similar or am I peculiar?

Can we consider degenerating from maga.place and hilariouschaos.com? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Both instances are pointedly political and looking to spread their particular philosophies to the threadiverse. Moreover, their users aren’t exactly winning any awards for charm. Can we put it to a vote before they become a nuisance?

Got a used business laptop and found a recessed dongle in it. The original owner says they have no clue, that it’s been in there since they got it. There’s no way a dongle is keeping this thing running, is there? I’ve already swapped the OS, if that matters at all

Update: yubikey! Thank you all for the information, I’m definitely still learning

What’s the deal with the abundance of eBay listed laptops lacking drives? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’m starting to get back into the swing of tech at large, and found a business laptop that fits my needs for a portable low power emulation device. When I look to buy it secondhand, because I don’t intend to burn money or the environment unnecessarily, I find dozens of extremely cheap listings without drives. Are these secondhand from businesses removing and drilling the drives or is there something else going on?

Finally back in Linux after so many years! My first recent attempt was waylaid by a locked down bios beyond my ability to bypass, but I’m done! Thank you, to everyone who helped out in my previous post!

Final edit: having now done more research, the bios is secured and to get to boot options would essentially involve manually editing the bios with a second computer and downloading Chinese software to finish the job. I think I’m just returning this one. This is a bit beyond my skill level

I purchased a Lenovo mini pc online to turn into my second ever Linux machine (whoo), and when I tried booting it up for the first time, I found it asking for a network to sync data from an Amazon employee. I will be frank, fuck Amazon. If someone stole it, I hope the lost money was enough to cause Bezos to shit himself and die, only for a clone to rise in his place to do the same in a never-ending Sisyphean hellscape of skin peeling feculent horror. The fantasy that my holding on to this, and it is likely a fantasy, will affect Amazon is a bonus, not a detriment.

Now, that said, it was probably resold from Amazon’s stock at a decent discount, but not wiped. How can I install Linux on a machine that I don’t actually have full access to? I’m passably tech savvy, and more than willing to learn more to get back on Linux after 10 years of Microsoft pissing me off.

TLDR: How can I install Linux on an Amazon OS machine that I don’t actually have full access to?

Edit: my flash drive is ready, just struggling to get to the boot menu at this point. I can only mash so hard for so long!

What’s the ideal ripeness for plantain chips? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’ve been making plantain chips for a bit, and I’m always dissatisfied with them. If my plantains are too ripe, the chips can’t crunch up. Not ripe enough and they lack the slight sweetness I love.

I decided to grab the greenest ones at the market to slowly ripen them at home, but even that’s a bit wonky, as they tend to ripen on top but not the bottom, which leaves me with something peculiar and delicious, but certainly not what I’m looking for.

So, how do you consistently get plantains in the Goldilocks zone?

Panel 1: Prince Charming in all his regalia pursues Cinderella as she crests the stairs and rounds a corner. “Don’t go” he yells after her.

Panel 2: He stops at the bottom of the staircase and mumbles to himself in defeat. “No…”

Panel 3. Prince Charming, doused in sweat, peers toward the steps and notices a single glass slipper set on its side. “Hmm” he says to himself, “this is…” he trails off.

Panel 4: the background disappears and we focus entirely upon his face. His expression exudes focus.

Panel 5: The young royal stands at attention, facing away from the steps. Upon his right foot, the glass slipper now sits. “Perfect” he finishes.
