Late to the party: Scary Movie

Angry upvote. It fits.

Great movie, but what makes it about the 90ies.

Has an 80ies vibe to me. I had to check, it was made in 94, but towards the end of the decade, pulp fiction already felt old, a classic.

Beef broth

It may depend on what man mean by ‘most hearty’. Aren’t all soups hearty?

Fat and ugly remains fat and ugly

Biology

Sexting via carrier pigeon?

I believe, this is because it’s not yet a business model (nor a legal requirement). The first questions is, who even owns the lot and who has to power to make changes? Then, who gets to use the power output? Do you use it on-site or feed to grid? Do the local utility work with you or against you? (Hint: You are competitors now and running a grid is not free.)

That’s just speculation, why solar-covered parking lots are not yet build much. The idea totally makes sense. It will probably take a either a startup company that figures out how and sells the solutions to the owners or a local government pushing for more solar.

To those saying, it’s cheaper to build on a roof. Maybe, then do the roof, first, if it’s feasible. Is it cheaper to build on undeveloped land or farm land? Maybe, if you live in the middle of nowhere or drive a significant distance to do your shopping. Still, plenty of opportunity to build over parking lots.

Otoh, short as fuck, is what , 30s?

They day of the presentation was probably their first day using Windows.

Can you clarify this? As a normal user with one of the standard clients, who is on one random instance and follows people on other instances, we are missing Likes and Boost? I can live this, it’s just a number. But, are we also missing replies? I don’t expect OP to retoot all replies, but I do want to read them? At least i want the option the read them.

vi, gcc, and LaTeX

Let them learn the hard way.

“This is key” (in business speak)

dialects

French?

What a non-story.

They basically asked: In an ad, do you prefer an actor reading out the marketing script or a computer-rendered face?

I needed a second to remember whether this building has an elevator. Never used it.

Many smaller apartment buildings have no elevator. Above 4 floors that’s certainly annoying, but not unheard of.

So, yes, I don’t mind it. Never buy more than what fits in a bagpack plus one shopping bag. Easy if you don’t have a car and all supermarkets you go to are in walking distance.

Every generation has this moment, where they learn to hate Microsoft (or Micro$oft). Then, 4% install Linux, 6% buy a Mac with half the RAM for twice the price; and everyone else to keeps complaining.

I wasn’t a fan on the S10, just felt wrong, and chose to hide OneUI with a customer launcher non-Samsung apps.

Now, with S22/23, OneUI feels just right. It’s still a Samsung with their own apps, but the overall experience is very pleasant.

This is the risk and it has happened before.

The AI won’t do my job exactly, but managers mostly manage, i.e. deal with organisational overhead. That Excel you’ve been maintaining for the past decade was never as crucial to the business’ success as you made it appear. It was something the higher ups liked to talk about with pretty charts. An UI can generate other things to talk about from the same data.

I don’t agree that those people don’t have transferable skills, but I agree that’s going to hurt. Like flattening hierachies, self-organised teams and outsourcing, previously cushy jobs will be replaced with more stressful ones.

You used to have a secretary to make calls for you and organise your calender. Now you have copilot and customers call you directly.

You don’t need powerful AI or anything for this to happen. They just stopped hiring secretarial staff when managers learned how to use a computer.
