Enshittification is hitting every part of society…

This!

Here’s a sample, but there are numerous open source scripts, depending on what you want, on git: https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts

A simple web search reveals 3 such open-source scripts as the first results. Here’s one: https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts

*Arr Suite, QBT, and a Jellyfin Server. Done and done. There are scripts to set it all up in less than 30 seconds…

This is basic, but there are thousands of lectures, books, and papers on it, going back to the 80’s.

Or anything with Donald Hoffman, which there is a ton.

Basically, our brain just handles our cognitive needs, and filters consciousness, which is a fundamental property of the universe. Think what you will, but this is a pretty popular theory in the past decade or so. Among physicists and neurologists alike…

My first thought was, “Have you talked to the Fallout modding community?” They’re huge masochists and love being shit on, even though they create such amazing things and deserve nothing but praise and monetary rewards…

This shit angers me to no end. Where I live, they built this wonderful highway around the greater metro area. Said it’d be a toll road for 25 years until paid off. We’re on year 29 now, because they needed to “update” it.

Then, you find out the tolls are managed by a for-profit company in Saudi Arabia…? The express lanes, that cause more traffic and wrecks than a simple exspansion of lanes, is ran buy a for-profit company, in a foreign country. It makes no sense, unless you’re a fan of unregulated capitalism, I guess.

Humans have a really, really hard time NOT assigning human attributes to every other living thing.

One thing that makes this hypothesis seem possible, is that some researchers are suggesting consciousness is external, and eternal. Meaning all living things are essentially antennae.

All I can think of is Russia. Definitely Russia.

Damn, I got suckered in too that one.

“Sweet! All the functions on my deck will work soon…”

Lol C.H.U.D. I loved that movie. I probably rented it 500 times when I was in 4th-5th Grade. Now I’m gonna have to get it…

This. Not to mention, there are a million Nvidia P4s on Ebay for cheap after everyone dismantled their old mining rigs. Also, they’re low-pro cards not any longer than an ITX motherboard.

Fist-Bump Met my wife in 8th Grade. Got married at 21. Just celebrated our 28th anniversary. I think if the trust, loyalty and love is there, you’ll know. Neither of us had a doubt about each other, and we’re best friends.

Note: We did take a year or so off around 18-19, too get ‘it’ out of our systems.

I wish. Pretty sure it got lost in the numerous moves we made…

This is very true. But, when you’re paying pennies for them, and helping charities…

As someone else mentioned, Humble Bundle. The subscription option (Humble Choice) is a great way to get some game options on your Steam account, as well as a decent discount on all games. Not to mention the Humble Bundles themselves.

In the Steam Store, add all your interests to your wishlist. I’m sure you’ve seen the memes and discussion around the several Steam Sales throughout the year…

Undead Zombies? No. I’m no virologist, but I’ve read about a Rabies variety, or certain fungal infections. Fiction-wise, World War Z, or 28 Days type “zombies”, where the body is very much functioning, but the brain has been hijacked…

Requiem for a Dream, Drugstore Cowboys, Naked Lunch, Less Than Zero.

Mid 80’s, Boulder, Colorado. I was 10 Years Old. My Dad worked Graveyard shifts at Coors. He rode a Bicycle to work and back everyday. During his commute, he’d ride right by the Crossroads Mall. One morning, he came accross a ton of electronics and electronic components out in front of the mall, that were there as a result of the Radio Shack burning down the night before. Several employess were sifting through the remains, seeing what was salvageble. Anyways, my Dad was able to nab a Tandy 1000 RGB for $20 (~$500 New), with minor smoke damage. It came with all the bells and whistles. An actual Audio Cassette Recorder for data storage, Joy Stick, and several carted games. The only game I really remember was “Dungeon Explorer”. But I did get a few books from the library and learned how to write Basic.
