Fire and Brimstone Hell is also commonly believed, but not actually in the bible, if I recall right.

Most of the punishment around Hell in the Bible is less about Hell itself, and more about not being able to enter Heaven and join God, and all of that, as oppose to Hell itself being punishment.

Got a link to the Onion story? Couldn’t seem to find it.

Yes. For a while, South Korean internet nicknamed him the “Gold Goblin” (after Diablo), since he was so disliked that anyone shown hitting him would receive a decent amount of money in donations.

Yes, it’s that thing what 4-chan hackers known as Anonymous use, isn’t it?

It’s particularly bad now that it’s forcibly embedded into every computer, and at the forefront.

You can’t hit Win-C by mistake any more, since Windows will instead open a window to “chat with friends and family” by trying to install Teams. (Which makes it particularly bad on my end is that the install broke, so it will randomly pop up later with “Cannot install teams at the moment. Please try again later.”)

Though little compares to the seeming magic that is pirahna solution obliterating a chicken drumstick. It’s just gone.

This way when the country bursts into flames it won’t bring the rest of the world with it.

The interconnected nature of the world these days means that it would be inevitable that everyone else would be embroiled in whatever it is that happens.

Or reprise their old assistants from XP.

At least a “computer Wizard” would make them stand out compared to ChatGPT in a funny box.

The parallels between Musk and Stark seemed perfect on paper. Both are billionaire tech innovators with a flair for the dramatic and dreams of changing the world.

They’re not, though. Stark is a rare engineering powerhouse who personally pushed past a lot of engineering boundaries, and Musk is an investor/programmer who mostly puts his name on existing things.

I might change my mind if Musk personally invents AGI, nanobots, and a previously-unknown clean energy source capable of powering a 1/3rd of NYC with a room no larger than a foyer, like Stark did, but I’m not holding out much by way of hopes.

Not to mention we already have quantum-computer-resistant cryptography.

It might also be an attempt to fence in AI-generated content in its own feed, so that doesn’t infest everything else as much, which doesn’t seem that unreasonable either.

Interestingly enough, you can also 86 a person. This means they’re not allowed to come back to the bar/restaurant/etc…

Sounds like a murder/assassination euphemism.

Doesn’t look like it, or at least, they’ve not included one before (you just got a power cord), so it’s doubtful they would start including one now. Either that, or they’re about to release a power-button/TouchID dongle specifically to use as a separate power switch.

Holden being acquired by General Motors was okay for a while. Then it died, because they couldn’t be stuffed with the Australian market, or the local car industry at the time (and in doing so, likely kicked off its demise).

You can’t have criticisms about the game if you put it on a shelf instead of playing it.

Libraries facilitate widespread piracy of books, by allowing people to read them without a distribution licence, or even take them home!

This is a clear violation of the DMCA, and thus must be stopped immediately!

Rubbish. If my phone isn’t so thin that it can double as a knife, it’s not worth buying.

It’s not bad, just mostly redundant these days, as the heuristic features are no longer enabled, and the defaults ublock lists will cover a lot of the same.

shit

If you’re unlucky, you might well do so.

Who cancels that without already moving to another ISP?

In fairness, there are people who renounce their citizenship without first ensuring that they have another citizenship elsewhere. Then they get stuck in limbo because they’re now stateless, and no-one knows where they’re supposed to go.
