@cstross As a fellow middle-aged cis white male, I have a theory. I've been wondering how the "ZOMG GAI is almost here" crowd sees things so differently than me. I suspect many of them, mostly cis white men, pay no attention to the actual humanity of the people around them, especially those they see as lesser/subordinate. So when they see ChatGPT as nearly human, that's because it's about as complex as their understanding of their wives, girlfriends, and employees.
Depression fucking sucks :(

The absolute gall of this question. A required question, mind you.
I will likely not be getting called in for an interview, but it was totally worth it.

removed a very unhappy battery from the T200
luckily toshiba engineered the tablet such that the backup battery is somewhat-compartmentalized from the rest of the system. but that didn't stop corrosion from getting to the connector, bonding it to the header. which then broke off the board.
once again reminding collectors/hoarders to stop giving a shit about "resale value" if it means never unboxing a system, let alone opening one to prevent damage like this. in the wrong hands, this would've easily gotten worse.

TIL if you track a package on ups.com, it will send your full tracking link including the tracking number to both Google and Facebook.
This is just "normal".

A lot has been said about Steamboat Willie entering the public domain in 2024. But also, 2024 is the year "The House at Pooh Corner" by A.A. Milne enters public domain, which is the book introducing the character Tigger.
Took a bus ride today and got a jolt when it went over a speed bump and now my spinal nerve pain is so much more :(

PSA for Android users: Uninstall Simple Mobile Tools apps!
The developer of Simple Mobile Tools, an Android app suite which has been historically well respected in the FOSS space, has sold their apps to a company called ZipoApps, a company that buys apps from independent developers to add advertisements and trackers to them. I highly suggest uninstalling any of the Simple Mobile Tools apps you have on your device and looking for alternatives.

Around this time every year, innocent kids are told a disgusting lie.
