Thanks, from now on I’m just going to lie

I unfortunately don’t have any sources, but a few years ago I read or watched a video about an interview with a paleontologist who was asked about their opinion of the first sign of civilization

Their answer was “a fossil of a skeleton with a broken and healed leg”

Every other animal dies with a broken leg in nature, the only way to survive is with the support of others

Why does the paperwork suddenly claim the patient is 600 years old shape shifting dragon?

Neural networks are great for pattern recognition, unfortunately all the hype is in pattern generation and we end up with mammograms in anime style

I refuse to use camera in meetings

I don’t believe in geometry

I’m 6’5

It’s not about left or right, it’s about socialism or liberalism

If calling yourself a leftist makes you feel better, feel free to do so, but don’t get angry when people call out your actual position

One of his better takes

I was going to vote for biden but trump showed real gumption when he got shot so i switched sides

Yeah, thankfully the modern ones are usually pretty easy to clean, I remember searching through configs for variations of the fake search engine

It’s honestly impressive how many ways there are to hide those just in the browser’s configs

The old search engine hijackers were honestly the worst malware I had to deal with somewhat regurarly

Anything more serious either cleaned up with malwarebytes or warranted reformatting the hard drive, but the hijackers were relatively easy but annoying and tedious to get rid off

No worries, I’m a vet

Looks like bloat, just a quick stab to abdomen and we’ll be good

For ad hoc transfers, easiest way is to pack it with 7zip (or any other compression software with proper encryption) and setting a proper password for the file

The funniest solution I’ve found was a service that offered secure transfer of passwords between devices through their “encrypted transmission” with a password field on their website

FYI, don’t give any password to a service you aren’t using with that service

I love Indian culture and food, back in university I lived, studied and worked with quite a few Indian people and they all were kind, smart and very hospitable

I feel like quite large part of animosity towards Indian people (besides the usual racism) stems from the outsourcing of jobs there, especially with customer service, and even then going for the lowest offer

I’ve personally had both good and bad experiences with Indian customer service, but even with the bad experiences it’s obvious that the problem is a lack of resources and not the worker

Unfortunately people are quick to blame the service worker instead of the organization, and this gives an acceptable excuse for their internalized racism

You said to not base the response on the people we know, but anything that I see from the news or read online doesn’t reflect the people, it reflects the system

The only way to form an honest opinion of a group of people is to meet them, and even if all of those people somehow are the exception to the norm, they still represent and reflect their culture and where they come from

What’s with the comparison?
