Well a few years back it was decided that the burden and expense of being generally informed and educated was too much for humanity and so it was decided in a meeting that while it would be necessary for the safety and prosperity for our species to retain some intelligence, it’d be much easier and we’d all be much happier if it could just be mostly someone else’s problem so we all gave up a decent portion of our relative cognitive ability and it was all transferred using very advanced technology to one person, a Lemmy user going by the moniker ‘pwdxd@lemmy.zip’. It was determined this might be a heavy burden and a lonely existence and so it was also decided that the kinder thing to do, before destroying the technology developed to perform this procedure, would be to erase all memory and knowledge of these events from pwdxd’s mind in hopes this one exceptional ignorance in their now greatly enhanced brain would make their life easier, but the committee was split on the ethics of this and so a record of these events was kept as a latent memory in the spotless minds of we the blissfully ignorant, triggerable only in the event that pwdxd should notice and ask whence we’d be compelled to answer in this route fashion.

Anyway did you know about these chipset spyware vulnerabilities m8? 🤣 I heard about them on tiktok.

Imagine how frustrating it’d be trying send an intimidating message with all the dead animals but the intended recipient just thinks you’re trying be helpful in a misguided way

Time for a new cat?

I’m coming in cold on this so I don’t actually know what AI has in connection with this machine or why everyone seems to hate this. I was just wondering, are you kind of expected to put your own hard drives in to this? The price didn’t seem too bad assuming it’s actually relatively capable but that’s only of opting for the 512GB storage.

In Australia our establishment conservative party is called the Liberal party. I understand why and how it actually made perfect sense at the time but man if that isn’t ever ironic in modern context.

Interestingly growing up with the internet and alongside the growth of internet based advertising I kinda inadvertently developed a sort of mental adblock. I kinda don’t see or hear them even as they’re happening, I feel like one of those Westworld robots “Doesn’t look like anything to me”. I think everyone’s kinda got one of those even from all the tv and radio ads before the internet and still today, hence needing to justify so much marketing research and creative work to stand out but it seems I reached some saturation point a long time ago and now I’d have to actually choose to concentrate to even perceive an ad happening.

This has survived despite probably 15 years of ublock origin use. I definitely noticed when I use a machine without it that there’s like impediments to navigation if the web, like road blocks but I’m so trained to close the ad or leave the page that all I ever see is the x button.
