I canceled Prime as soon as they announced they were adding ads and I let them know that was the reason. Fuck them. We moved to streaming because it wasn’t cable, now these fuck heads are trying to turn streaming into cable. Capitalism is the fucking worst.
That’s what I hate about it the most. Why can’t it tell me I’m a fucking idiot sometimes?
That’s not true, I’ve been with Bell for 10+ years and they’ve always had an internet only option. In fact, I know they still do. So does East Link.
Wait, you guys have to pay for cable in order to get internet? I’ve never paid for cable in my life, just internet.
This is one hell of a take.
I didn’t realize Lemmy hated AI so much. Pretty much every post in this thread is bashing the idea. I’ve found AI to be very useful personally, I use it almost every day. It helped me code a VBA macro from scratch with 0 experience. This tool is saving me and my team hundreds of hours per year. It’s also great just as an improved search engine.
It was fun actually. They have a place where the stingrays swim up to you and you’re allowed to pet them. I was surprised by how they actually want to get pet. They swim up to the side of the wall and come out of the water to get your attention. Like a little water dog.
Thanks for asking!
That shock is 3x more powerful than a wall outlet.

I haven’t logged out since they started this push and I don’t get them with just Firefox/uBlock. I was getting them for a bit and they even blocked me completely at one point. But I just cleared my uBlock cache and updated and it’s been working fine.
My distaste for dogs isn’t specific to pitbulls. I need something more inclusive.
Surprisingly not. It’s about people who never stepped foot outside of a big city and think the entire world can function without cars. They have this crazy idea that without cars, we could just have buses, bike lanes, trains, etc… everywhere.
They don’t realize (or care) that this is literally not feasible for many rural areas. There just isn’t enough people to support these services and the distances between locations is too great.
People complain about all the tankies plaguing Lemmy but I think the real issue is dog worshippers. I should start a community like FuckCars but about dogs instead.
On second thought, that would probably attract people who love dogs a little too much…

Guess people really do need the /s. Even on obvious comments like this.
Except for government, they renew their lease lol.
They’re giving us bullshit reasons and look how mad people are about it.
The Canadian federal government has been pushing hybrid for about a year now. When it all started they hosted a town hall to answer questions and stuff. One of the directors told a story about how she is happy to go back to the office because she can go to her local Subway and support the business. This erupted into weeks of memes about how we’re being forced to the office just to keep Subway in business.
I can’t imagine the response to them outright saying they are doing this to please big businesses and landlords.
I had the same problem. The image ones are ridiculous, so I started using the audio option. I’ve rarely had to try again on those and it’s usually only typing three words.
I’ve been pirating since Napster and you’re right, it’s changed a lot. These days, I usually just stream from third party sites. Takes less room on your PC and is faster than downloading a torrent. Dopebox is where it’s at for most stuff. 9anime if you like anime, it’s better than the paid alternatives like Crunchy roll or Funamation.
If you want to stick to torrents I’ve found 1337x to be the best since TPB died.
Anyone can use GPT-4 for free. Co-pilot uses GPT-4 and with a Microsoft account you can do up to 30 queries. I’ve used it a lot to create Excel VBA code for work and it’s pretty good. Much better than GPT-3.5 that’s for sure.
