Yeah. Was thinking of starting that this year. Getting ready to switch my last Windows machine to Linux and it’s the one running the BluRay drive. Linux is way easier to rip with.

That’s what’s neat about the internet.

The rules are made up and the points don’t matter.

Should have left ‘sl’ for the train!

No kidding! That movie just delivers for 3 hours straight and has one of the best twists I didn’t see coming at all. One of my favorites parts of the massive crowd fight with the cop.

I started building an all-BluRay collection back in 2018. I saw the writing on the wall when I would go to watch a movie with friends on streaming and it would be gone.

Almost all of my favorite movies are mine now. I see a lot of comments talking about pirating, but for me personally, the display I get and being able to just have guests grab from the wall is a lot cooler than scrolling.

Not to mention, some of them are quite collectible. It’s neat having some movies that are really rare and I know I had to work to find them.

Just by the fact that these were 1-bit screens was enough to alert me something was afoot.

I drive a Miata. I have to pretty much drive like I’m invisible. I’ve had people try and merge right over top of me. I don’t understand the mentality of trying to ‘win’ on the road. I let anyone I can around me as politely as possible.

NO FULL AUTO NO FULL AUTO STOP STOP STOP

I do already, but there were like 15 altruistic answers and no one provided a single actual desire. I appreciate Lemmy’s eternal selflessness, but we can’t even fantasize in a casual conversation without virtue signaling here and it can be a bit tiring sometimes. (Wouldn’t want to be any other place, though)

I feel like a lot of people are missing the “with your life” part of this. While I’m sure I’d love to magically fix the world’s problems, to answer the actual question:

I’ve always pictured a house built into the side of a cliff face that’s right next to a road. The rock pulls away to reveal the garage whenever I’m nearby. I’d have just a few rooms, nothing too crazy. I’ve always loved the idea of an underground house. I’d also have a decent-sized workshop/garage for the many projects I’m always working on.

I’d also try starting my own business for the first time and I’d be curious to see how my skillset applies. I can’t bring myself to do it in today’s current situation.

That and a Lamborghini. Because why the hell not? That’s what fantasy is for.

All this comes with the disclaimer that I don’t have any kids.

“Looking for the Jim to my Pam” <-> “I wish I had the courage to cheat on my boyfriend”

Would you prefer they were blasts?

I now have several hours in this game. If you enjoy setting up networks and working with the equipment, this is a great simulation for it still being a super early version. And if you’re wanting to test the waters, a great way to test if it might be your thing.

Side note: Not for the OCD-inclined.

This was an excellent and sad read. You could tell just by the situation he felt he had no other way out. Almost like even people with a strong moral backing can eventually resort to crime that hurts others and this could have been prevented if he felt he had more support structures for his family.

Hmmm.

Millionaire has about billion dollars difference between a billionaire. Those are rookie numbers, Mr. Buffalo.

With all these safety measures, it is going to hallucinate and kill a family one if these days with bad advice.

Don’t worry. I’m sure that’s already been happening, but just isn’t getting reported on. Safety measures or not, AI is practically guaranteed to eventually give life-threatening advice.

I’ve recently had a lot less time, so I’m down to two services, and I feel like the $30 between them is a fair price for the amount of content I get out of it. I used to have 5 or 6 services, but they all lost their place one way or another.

I get downvotes on this every time I post it. Just lets me know it’s effective at its message.

While I don’t wish for this future, I do look forward to being one of the few that truly understands the ‘old way’ of computing like many here on Lemmy. All that knowledge I spent my youth acquiring may very well become insanely valuable in the next few decades because so many people will treat it as irrelevant.

I’ll feel a lot like this:
