I hear that it's quite possible to jailbreak your kindle these days, and that sounds super cool.

But a lot of e-Readers tend to be quite expensive. Why would you purchase an e-Reader if you already have your phone? Even if you didn't, your average phone is still gonna be cheaper than an e-Reader. Depending on the phone you'll get, it's also more durable and portable, probably even waterproof. Phones also tend to have more storage than ereaders. They even come with color. (I know color e-Readers exist, but they're even MORE expensive, and they also come with their own issues that black-n-white e-Readers don't have.)

Yeah, eReaders have more battery life than phones, and they're also easier on the eyes. But overall, why buy an e-Reader to jailbreak if you already have a phone?

So what do you do when you can't get a job or qualify for unemployment?

No, this isn't a case of different people having different opinions about different ways to obtain information during different times. More often than not, I find that the SAME people who act like Wikipedia is the most unreliable thing on Earth unironically trust the FIRST Google Search result they see, as well as everything they've ever seen in ChatGPT.

Need I remind you that Google is LITERALLY designed to cater to your biases? And it's gotten WORSE because the first result you see is NOW AI-Generated. Also, Google is not a source! And AI Chatbots cite THEMSELVES as sources!

Wikipedia on the other hand is curated by REAL VOLUNTEER HUMANS who strive to be accurate as possible. I'm aware that Wikipedia is no stranger to agendas or vandalism, but these editors are quick and dedicated to be as accurate as possible. So much so that whenever a building is on fire, they LITERALLY label it as "Status: Burning". Not burned... BURNING! ~~Meanwhile, Google tells you to put glue on your pizza...~~

And yes, I know that Wikipedia is not a source. Like Google, Wikipedia is a GATEWAY to sources, and not a source in and of itself. But at the very least, Wikipedia DOESN'T try to give you what you will like, because you'll get what is (most likely) the truth instead, backed up by several CREDIBLE sources that are constantly fact-checked by volunteer humans.

So why do people hate Wikipedia so much? And why do these SAME PEOPLE cite Google and ChatGPT as a source?

It’s no secret that the AI-Bubble is bursting, and nobody can deny it without lying. Sora-AI has shut down, Copilot has become less invasive, Chat-GPT needs ads now, Grok is desperately advertising on DeviantArt of all places, The Oscars is requiring human-made acting now, and even the Supreme Court has ruled that AI can’t be copyrighted. The AI-Chatbots and Image Genrators have also gotten worse at their jobs, and RAM sticks are also getting cheaper.

Which is something weird that I have noticed about the Five Nights at Freddy’s series. How have the animatronics been so smart since the 1980s. I’m aware that a few of the animatronics are possessed by children, but many are not.

Especially the Funtime animatronics from the 1990s. They’re all designed by William Afton, and none of them are possessed except for Circus Baby. Not only are the AIs of today stupid, but do you wanna know the smartest AI we’ve ever had in the 2000s? Frucking CLEVERBOT!!! That’s right, even before the big AI boom that every sane person loathes, AIs weren’t even smart back then.

So if new AIs are stupid, and the smartest AI that we’ve ever had was Cleverbot, then how are the animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy’s so smart, even if they’re not possessed by children?

Odd way to admit that you don't know what you're talking about.

[-] LarryBetraitor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You're talking about the wrong OP.

  • Pretends this isn't a meme.
  • Proceeds to be undeniably wrong.
[-] LarryBetraitor@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

If you don't think this is a meme, then you don't know what memes are. And if you did know what memes are, then you wouldn't say that my meme isn't a meme.

[-] LarryBetraitor@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Can you see the image? The meme isn't gonna be something you've seen before, because it's an original meme.

By Gen 10, I'm referring to Pokemon Winds & Waves for the Switch 2. Although, Pokemon Champions is also a diet version of Pokemon Showdown

I know I’m qualified, and my local post office REALLY wants me to work with them. And I was even selected as an RCA last time, but the only reason I didn’t take the job is because I didn’t have a minivan. (I have a car, not a minivan).

However, even though the LOCAL post office told me that I would be a great fit for the ARC position, the HR in Washington DC denied my application and I didn’t even get an email notifying me about it.

So I sent another application, and I decided to call HR in Washington DC. They seem kinda rude, and they flat out told me, “Hiring you is not their descision to make.”, which seems like BS to me because the LOCAL post office knows all about me, and the people in Washington DC know NOTHING about me.

What’s the secret? How do I penetrate this HR Bureaucracy?

To be clear, I'm not a lawyer.

[-] LarryBetraitor@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

My former managing attorney is looking, actually.

How on earth is this off topic? It's probably the most on-topic comment I've ever read on this post

[-] LarryBetraitor@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Thank you! And where do you find companies that have been around for a long time? Obviously, online job sites are terrible, since they're filled with ghost jobs and scams.

Should point out: My current company has been around ever since I was born (2002), but it's obviously not a great place to work and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way.
