I use it regularly (web dev). A lot of complaints and mockery stems from using it badly. None of the programming languages that are regularly the butt of everyone's jokes force you to use them badly, they just allow you to. If you follow good practices, you'll be just fine.

No, it probably wouldn't have happened in the first place, because the driver of a sensibly-sized car can see things that are less than fifty fucking feet ahead of the dash.

Monstrous behemoths like this should be prohibitively expensive to own for personal use and/or be restricted to industrial/ag use only. Fuck your camping or hauling one chair or whatever the fuck you do twice a year. You can rent for something that seldom.

Maybe we just need to let Hollywood do the AI thing for a while so people can see how creatively bankrupt the execs are.

I don't think this will end like you think it will. Last time we had a writer's strike, we got reality "reality" TV, a cursed genre that continues to grow more popular and more vapid than ever.

Mmmmmmnaaaahh. Let's build apocalypse bunkers and burn this planet to the ground while civilization descends into hunger games.

Sugar?

It's unclear if the new subvariant causes any unfamiliar symptoms that haven't already been documented by other Omicron subvariants.

Thankfully, the rates of anosmia and ageusia seem to be dropping.

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but isn't this the reason sports drinks exist? To replenish fluids and sodium?

Hypo, meaning low.

Na, the chemical symbol for sodium.

Emia, meaning low presence in blood.

Hypo-na-tremia, low sodium presence in blood.

Sigh... spreads bacteria easier, spreads COVID easier. What isn't air pollution driving?

This is why you drive as if everyone else is an idiot who's trying to kill you. Because most of them are.

Copy for twice, abstract for thrice. I've followed this since I learned it and it's served me well.

Edit: Wikipedia links are fucky

Honestly ... they've pulled a lot of dumb shit that makes me think it's within the realm of possibility.

Just look at how things happened with "Microsoft accounts" since Windows 7...i refuse to use a Microsoft account because there's no way in hell I'm giving them my contact info, but also, it's a total clusterfuck actually managing the damn thing.

Windows 8 suggested using a Microsoft account.

Windows 10 setup a Microsoft account by default. In later subversions, you can only get around it by cutting the internet connection.

Windows 11 refuses to setup at all without an internet connection; instead , it requires you to perform a hidden hacky workaround by opening cmd accessible only by keyboard shortcut, running a specific command to enable offline setup, then rebooting to finally complete it.

You really don't think they're stupid enough to push ahead with this cloud dogshit?
