  • I don’t actually have a problem with this. If people are stupid enough to admit to a crime or engage in criminal activity on a platform that they don’t control, that’s on them. I put this as the next step of evolution from people who would commit a crime on youtube for views then get shocked pikachu’d when the police arrest them for it. They have no one to blame but themselves, they brought a 3rd party AI company into it and they did not consent to be an accomplice and if there is any company out there with the resources to have AI scan conversations to flags to send to the police with good accuracy, openAi would definitely be at the front of it.





  • what do you mean my setup? I have a fat PS2 with an OG network adapter that I removed the IDE board from and replaced with a SATA board and attached a SSD to it. Network cable runs from the network adapter to the wall, I have lots of magic behind the wall, and then it comes out at the NAS where I have a share where all the games are digitally backed up while the discs store dust in a box in my closet. Only game I currently run off the SSD since it won’t work over the NAS is FF10-2, and really the only reason I even ripped it was because that’s how I felt when the game came out…




  • Pretty much, when they removed search engines who wouldn’t pay them was the final straw and I went back to reddit (after not being there since the API debacle) 1 last time and replaced all my 26,000 karma worth of comments with “Comment removed in protest of Reddit blocking search engines.” Took me a while, but meh, if they want to hasten its enshitification, I don’t mind doing my part.



  • From your own usa today article:

    according to the poll of 1,261 adults surveyed May 21 through May 23. It found third-party candidates Cornel West and Jill Stein — not Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — are making the difference, pulling support away from Biden.

    Emphasis added by me. And I agree, with the article, other 3rd party candidates are likely to pull more from Biden than Trump, but also in agreement with your article, not RFK Jr. And it goes back to people pushing RFK Jr as a threat to Biden, when in reality he’s not at all a threat to Biden. Its FUD being pushed by bad actors and people are falling for it and is distracting people from the real threats to Biden, which is Cornel West and Jill Stein.


  • I can’t see a world where RFK costs Biden a higher percentage than Trump in any state, that seems like FUD being spread by bad actors. I am not saying anyone here is a bad actor, I am just thinking that people are fearing the worst possible outcome and bad actors are praying on that to push an agenda and because of Wizard’s First Rule (“People are Stupid. People will believe anything because they want to believe it or because they are afraid it might be true.” [Amusingly that quote comes from an Author that if he were still alive would probably vote for Trump]) it spreads, just like most other misinformation.

    You can’t just say he’ll cost Biden 0.1% in Michigan without also considering how much he would affect trump, if he costs Biden 0.1% and Trump 0.9% he still only gets 1% of the vote, but it hurt Trump 90% more than it hurts Biden, which in the end will actually improve Biden’s position. And the newly (within the last 4 years) never-Trumper republicans who would never-Biden as well who votes for RFK Jr can’t be counted as a “biden” vote since they would never vote for him to begin with, if anything its a vast majority of 2020 Trump votes that are shifted to RFK Jr.




  • It looks like the generation digit corresponds to year for Desktop CPUs too. I think the only major difference from the image I showed prior is the last digit, the desktop CPUs have different letter(s) but the other 4 digits correspond the same. For example, the 7950X is 2023, Ryzen 9, Zen 5, Lower model, and X is high power draw and clock speeds, then there is the 7955WX which is 2023, Ryzen 9, Zen 5, Upper Model (Threadripper), Workstation. The 8950X upcomming cpu is 2024, Ryzen 9, Zen5, Lower Model, High Power and clock speeds, etc. So the 8 series is still Zen 5, so its still a refresh of other zen5 chips, however it also apparently has about a 20% uplift compared to the 7 series, but its still a refresh. So the 9000 series we won’t know if its a refresh or not until we have the skus with the 3rd digit, if its a 6, then its a not a zen5 refresh, if its a 5, it is a zen5 refresh.


  • That’s because, according to the super secret AMD Decoder Wheel, the 7 series just means it came out in 2023, while the 8 series means it comes out in 2024, and the 9 series is any model released first released in 2025. Which means you can’t use the first digit to tell what architecture the CPU is at all, you need the 2nd digit and 3rd digit. Which means this “leak” about 9000 series is not a leak because AMD has already stated, for over a year now, that the 9 series would be CPUs released in 2025.



  • When I was an E4, I worked with a piece of shit E6 who decided he hated me for no reason one day. I had never been disrespectful to him but he went out of his way to try and get me in trouble and was just generally a dick to me every chance he could be. His attempts to get me in trouble all failed because literally I did nothing wrong. He once told me I needed to respect him because he was an E6 and had earned it. I told him I give his rank the respect it deserves, I stand at parade rest when talking to him, I answered his questions respectfully with a “Yes, Sergeant” or “No, Sergeant” but due to the way he treats me and started treating me like crap for no reason, I did not and would not respect him as a person. He did not like that, but there literally wasn’t anything he could do about it. He told me I needed to drop out of college and focus 100% of my efforts on being a soldier and I should just do everything he says because he outranks me. I told him the Army is not my career, I’m doing my 4 years and getting out, and so ETS’ing with a degree is more important to me than spending that time to go above and beyond the standards the Army required. And of this was said respectfully, and was overheard by his section lead, so while he was upset I didn’t just bend over and suck his E6 dick, he couldn’t do shit about it because ultimately I was 100% in the right. My uniform was clean, pressed, had all the creases it was supposed to and my boots were shined. They weren’t a mirror every day because I didn’t spend 3 hours shining my boots every day, I did once a week and then kept them above the minimum standard required through the week, then my next day off I’d tear them down and rebuild the shine. So my uniform was still in better shape than most peoples so him singling me out was very much bullshit. The guy ended up getting himself in trouble more than anything else. I never got in trouble for how I treated him since ultimately I never did shit to him and always gave him the respect required for his rank. But not 1 step beyond that, and he didn’t like that, but there wasn’t jack shit he could do about it. His own supervisor (an E7) made him apologize to me on 2 occasions when he witnessed his bullshit.

    Like when he told me to do something which that morning the E8 in charge passed down to us that we were not to do this specific thing. So when I said I couldn’t do that for him over the phone, he forced me to get relieved so I could come up there and explain in person why I wouldn’t do what a higher ranking NCO told me to do. So I explained according to E7 Guard Commander X, E8 Master Sergeant Y passed down these instructions. And the response was “So, Guard Commander X told you this?” “Yes, Sergeant” “That’s all you had to say, get the fuck out of my office.” I relayed that conversation to the Guard Commander (who was in my chain of command, this guy was not) And within 5 minutes, I was called back to his office, that his boss shared with him, and got to stand there while this E6 being glared at by his E7 boss apologized for his behavior.

    Then when I was close to ETSing the dude “randomly” chose me to be piss tested every single time it was his job to conduct it. Literally on my day off while I was an hour north of post at college he couldn’t find me in the barracks to “randomly” piss test me, so he told everyone if they saw me, I needed to go to him. So 4 hours later when I returned from school, I got the message, and then he chewed me out for not arriving earlier. Like bitch, its my day off, I was at college, I came as soon as I got back, what more do you want? Turns out he didn’t even need me, he let slip he only needed someone with the last name starting with “R” so he was able to easily just piss test someone else. But he intentionally was singling me out to be his “R” person every single time. That guy was a piece of shit and I think exemplified this perfectly.
