I do this with my bank when they try to get me to increase my credit limit

No AI as far as I’m aware

Tbf weed still feels illegal even when it’s not

I’m not American, so I can’t speak to the reality on the ground over there, but I’d say you should try getting rid of that debt as fast as possible.

It sucks feeling guilty about every necessary purchase with that ever-growing number looming over you.

Shit happens. A pipe will burst. Your favourite uncle will have too much fun on a gambling app. The car’s engine will make a noise no mechanic has ever heard before. etc etc.

I have roughly ~$3.5k in debt and it feels impossible to shake off.

That being said, there’s no ‘wrong’ choice. The other two comments hit the nail on the head. These aren’t the only three options and you can always go back and give another shot at whatever you didn’t pick.

you have no choice

I stole this from the other thread

A kernel, in computing terms, is the computer program that sits between applications and the hardware, facilitating their interactions.

This is the GNU/Linux operating system’s kernel (the part that is technically Linux) showing its architecture.

The columns represent the areas of functionality the kernel offers, the rows (from top to bottom) representing the level of abstraction from the hardware.

From the top; user space, where users barely have to think about the hardware enabling their applications. To the bottom; the hardware itself and the interfaces that enable the kernel to talk to them.

The lines represent the relationships between the various Linux kernel functions and structures - the text - that interact with one another directly.

The diagram is interactive in the sense that you can click the functions/structures and be taken to relevant resources to help a Linux kernel developer navigate the humongous amount of code that comprises the kernel, to accelerate debugging etc.

This diagram has been continuously developed for well over 15 years at this point and is somewhat iconic in the Linux world as it makes tangible the kernel and its thousands upon thousands of lines of code which I doubt any one developer has or could read and comprehend as a whole without the use of tools like this map.

Most of that stuff happens to me daily

Please don’t haunt me

You make a very good point and are clearly a lot more knowledgeable than me.

I’m going to rephrase. Windows 11 was shitty from the start. I can defend that statement, which we both agree with, to save my ego from internal bleeding.

They keep adding shitty things to it.

I skimmed an article on enshittification yesterday

It mentioned Windows

Can something be enshittified if it was shit from the start?

how much security clearance would I need for a u.gov rickroll

taxonomy

shit

Is that the right word

I’ve been using “ontology” when talking about item classification to sound smart

I guess it worked bc no one said “You mean taxonomy, right?” yet. My illusion of pretending I’m not a dumbass to people IRL isn’t broken yet I hope.

I’m in South Africa: purchasing cannabis products on the clearnet. The law is, you’re allowed to have cannabis on your own property, up to like 1.2kg or something few people can reasonably accumulate. You can grow 4 plants.

You can provide cannabis as a gift without “remuneration”. i.e. you can’t buy or sell it

Meaning, you join a “social club” where your spontaneous membership fees coincidentally directly correlate to the THC metabolite concentration in your urine. This is the legal grey area.

But the cops here are still stupid fucking cops. Got a bag of 4g Jack Herer in a Ziploc bag with beautiful artwork on it on the way home from the dispensary?

SIR YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR THE DEALING OF DRUGS. You either pay a stupid bribe or they throw you in jail for a night or a weekend until a lawyer can come bail you out and the case never goes to trial.

They did not do enough police reform after the official end of apartheid.

A lot of people have trouble getting motivated.

Your comment made me chuckle a little bit.

I ask myself that same question every day. What’s the point of anything? Do I really need to get out of bed, get to work, eat food, climb out of the debt trap I’m in or even browse Lemmy?

Something like this could help ease that daily question from myself. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. Worth a shot. Free is cheaper than recreational drugs.

Very cool

Sometimes the companies they subcontract, named something boring and innocuous like Isolace Data Systems or Wimblo Digital or some shit, fucks up spectacularly.

Like they’ll just have 400gb Excel spreadsheet called all_meta_usernames_and_passwords.xlsx stored in the company’s shared intranet and then some dude guesses the WiFi password was WimbloDigital2024 and leaks it to whoever.

can we pronounce it like “asshole”

1-4 years and that much money is still unclaimed

I’m not very familiar with how these bounty contracts work, but I am going to assume it’s not happening if they haven’t decided by now :(
