Did it finally become general consensus that Windows 11 is shit?
Windows being terrible is not unprecedented. What IS unprecedented is that this is the first time when only a single version is supported.
8 came out and you could stick to 7. Vista came out and you could stick to XP. Now? Nothing.

This is going to sound silly but I have a lot of opinions about The Simpsons as a vessel for middle-class social commentary

Marjorie Tyler Greene is possibly the best example of a somewhat obscure saying, "the enemy of my enemy is a batshit crazy fascist, not to be trusted, and best dealt with later as a distinct enemy." it's impressive how eager some people are to forgive unrepentant neonazis

An entire feature-length profile about her in the New York Times, the paper of record, that not *one single time* mentions that she's a rabid antisemite.
When she does her real apology for that wake me up.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

I understand the sentiment behind it but too many of y’all seemed way too eager to make clanker jokes in a way that seemed less about being anti AI and more about wanting to make jokes where the punchline is “this sounds like real slurs but about a fake thing” or “haha, it’s like old timey racism”
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Trump: We track Santa. We want to make sure that Santa is being good. We want to make sure that he's not infiltrated, that we're not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa. Santa loves Oklahoma like I do. You know, Oklahoma was very good to me in the election

A lot of times I'll do this thing where I'll completely neglect to share huge chunks of an idea or an argument because I've never had to contend with anyone outside my head needing context for that idea. This happens constantly and makes me insufferable and confusing.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

In general, AI adoption levels are a measurement of to what extent a particular reward system (a corporation, a market, academia as a whole system) has ceased to distinguish between doing a thing and pretending to do a thing
One of many things the pro-AI crowd doesn't seem to understand is the very important distinction between academic scholarship and the production of papers. Of course they can be related but they're not necessarily the same thing
