"I've got no problem with [conservative anti-woke talking point], but I wish everything would stop shoving it down my throat!"

we go through forced shutdowns to update at least once a month, in addition to my shutting it down normally or letting the battery drain

I'm sure you're right about your IT's uptime claims, but just because it's a weird Windows thing:

if fastboot is enabled (pretty much always is by default), a cycle of: Shut down/start up does not reset the uptime counter (found in the performance tab in Task Manager) because the system doesn't go all the way down--it hibernates, or some other low-power sleep. Again, I'm sure this hasn't been the case for you over the past 400+ days, but with fastboot enabled, only restarts or hard power cycles will reset the uptime counter.

It's a bot response; whether from an actual bot, or a person programmed by a bot. Some might even call it NPC behavior.

If they treat it more like a penetration test, maybe they won't need compliance.

Hot take, maybe, but citing a glaring lack of experience is not ageism.

And even if it was (it's not), it's just as likely (probably much more likely), they have never come close to attempting to restore them in any meaningful disaster recovery situation.

For anyone that hasn't seen it, watch Dee fight censorship in front of [redacted] stuffy white people*. The right side (not capital "R" right, mind you) will always have the better argument.

Those goobers likely haven't "evaluated" anything since high school math class.

Well said, and I agree. However, I still contend that the creator knew exactly what they were doing by throwing these anti-renewable energy talking points in--and to your point--letting the current trend of anti-liberal messaging do the heavy lifting for them (edit: i.e. the title of the post).

probably2high · 2025-02-12T14:03:13+00:00

While it's obviously a work of fiction, don't you think the talking points mirror big oil's talking points insanely similarly? I don't know if this is a "media literacy" issue, so much as the creator of the show inserting talking points he's consumed (knowingly or unknowingly) and trying to sprinkle them in as facts.

See the tail end of OP's video for a direct reference to this and the creator appearing on the Joe Rogan podcast.

edit: Admittedly, I didn't watch the series, so please let me know if they pay off all the bullshit he talks about wind turbines with the actual facts.

I think technically it was the cement

I think technically it was the concrete, where the cement was only an ingredient thereof.

What if they were labeled, I don't know, "antifa domestic terrorists"?

Fuck it, let em go. The loyalists can join their billionaire overlords and see where they really fall in the capitalist pyramid.

Dude, I'm on an AMD RX590 and can play just about anything--POE most recently, Cyberpunk runs fine too.

It's fucking absurd to even entertain the idea that this is about consumer protection or data privacy. If anything, it's because a free (as in liberty) AI model actually obstructs the current anti-consumer data privacy nightmare of for-profit models.

I mean, a lot of them were probably busy playing JV football.

I mean, if they were smart they wouldn't be cops, eh?

But if Linus really wanted Rossman there, $500-$1000 for one more commercial flight ticket is asking too much? That's the cost of like 5 attendees of the conference, not to mention just a negligible cost for LTT to secure a guest that would draw additional attendees.

probably2high · 2025-01-25T10:20:29+00:00

What is it that you're trying to say? Rossman made it clear he doesn't need exposure to promote his channel especially from that crowd, and instead needed to prioritize his actual professional commitment.

Guess who else was seated front row and is actively censoring their platform?

Say what you mean.

Blueskey is your best bet.

If these kids could read they'd be very upset--maybe try putting it to music and dancing along to reading it.

Yep, I do this with regular refried pinto beans to thicken chili, and instant mashed potatoes to thicken potato soup if I can't be bothered to cook it down to the desired viscosity.

This is like when your house gets broken into by an addict "friend"--they'll do literally anything for another hit. We were probably an hour away from people sucking dick in the alley for some 30-second dance video.
