Please Microsoft! If you could improve the colors of the squares in teams that would be awesome! When I present a PowerPoint presentation I like to open it directly on browser next to my porn and I love to see lots of colorful squares all around the thing I'm trying to read to them. Incredibly useful! Please make the people squares a good 3 or 4 times the current size, that would help a lot! And don't even try single button full screening anything for me! Fuck F11! Give me ctrl-Alt-prtscrn-elbow mash keypad. That's the best combination!

You will not install AI on heavy objects with the purpose of dropping them on soldiers' legs to mame only. Any AI installed on anvils must cause irreversible death within a period of 1 second.

Gemini????!!! That's old news!

Introducing.... drumroll please!!!

Stacy!

She has big tits! Tell her things about yourself 😜😅! C'mon! You won't regert it! We...er..she's looking for everyday conversation that can be used against you in a court of AI powered law 3 years from now! Do you even know what that means?!!!

The new shortcut for screenshots:

Alt - Ctrl - drill to the eye 👁️. Yeah you can use the same eye socket multiple times for now. It's a known 🐛 bug, but they are going to fix it.

We are sorry. So sorry indeed man! We are sorry that because of a pandemic many people in the industry had to move to safe locations and realize how much better those places were so they're not going back. We're sorry to have inconvenienced your game play. But we're working hard to get you to pay another salary's worth on the next tumb raider! We promised so much many more transistors that the boob wobble will be endless! Thru AI, anything is possible!

I'll never quit! First attempt.... I'll never leave his side! Second attempt.... Oh shit this is real! Fuck that! Yeah Haitians are nice people I shouldn't have lied! I'm sorry. I'm subjugating, quitting, resigning, whatever you want!

Oh that's it, just the two? Yeah I'm never leaving his side! Even if Haitians eat all my cats.

Missed several of George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on TV:

Shit ✅ Piss ✅ Fuck ✅ Cock ✅ Cunt ❌ Cocksucker ✅ Motherfucker ❌ And Tits ❌

Tits, meet toots! Toots, tits! Sounds like a breakfast cereal 🥣😋!

It's just an example. I did get useful code from all this effort but usually the first prompt gets the closest. Everything else is like a bad genie story. Exactly like this: https://youtu.be/lM0teS7PFMo?si=yMtEaVkpSrn9q5Ap

 

That's right! Your hearing is perfect! If you allow anyone from our secret staff members who come and offer you a brand new shower to just kick your groin once, you will get it installed absolutely free!

No questions asked! A guy comes in, offers you a new shower, installs it, and if they kick you in the groin and they happen to be one of our secret staff members, you get it all installed for free!!!

Ofcourse you do need to pay for the shower and tax. But the kick is absolutely free once installed right in the groin!

SO, it started quite nicely with a fully working program. However nearing the end... or at the end of my programming experience or asking it to program something for me, it wrote in some nasty nasty screen flickering shit. I couldn't stop it and it quickly just froze my screen where the only option was to push the button. I tried it a second time to confirm, but this time I was able to quickly go to a different CLI window and kill that sonobabich. Here is what it came up with in case you want to try it. maybe it only screws up my computer:

Basically, you run a PBS style fund raising campaign. But it's so effective because you got a gun, you are law enforcement and the donors all need to drive that one highway. Say you need $10,000,000.00 just stop 10million people who happen to have 1 dollar. Or if you stop 100k people who happen to have 100 bucks, or 10k people who have 1000 bucks with them, you're good to go!

So PBS just needs a good cop car donation and a couple of fake badges to get their funding too!

A car park built for £51 million in Oxfordshire is lying empty because a council cannot connect it to the main road.

Planning problems are preventing motorists from using the 19-acre park and ride scheme in Eynsham until funding is secured to link it to the A40.

Aerial photographs show the 850-space site devoid of vehicles, despite its finished glossy tarmac, bus stops and green spaces. All major construction work was finished in January, followed by landscaping last month.

Although the car park could be cut off from the main road until 2027, local authorities have contracts to maintain it every week, cutting the grass and topsoiling and seeding when necessary.

I searched for the email address and although it's a scam, it's white listed in some random place

 
 

Well I set up my email server thru cloudflare and managed to receive emails directly to my basement server. I could live with this and the various security threats incoming thru my unifi. But one thing is for sure, my wife won't have any of it. She's a total backwards thinking give me windows or I'll jump kind of Gal. So I found that I could run a dockerized Thunderbird instance and I thought ... Wow! I can just login to it from my computer or my phone, Surely this is it! I can have emails backed up from Gmail to my server and just access my server! And you know what? It works! I can access my Gmail on my browser! It's beautiful!.... But then I login through my phone and wow! I can access my Gmail! Thru my phone! Except the interface is the same as my desktop. It's literally a VNC to the server. I can login to it on my desktop and watch the mouse move as I move my finger on my phone! Great party trick, but....the text is microscopic. So is there another way to get IMAP and SMTP interface to Gmail, archiving all emails on my own server? I literally don't want any of my emails to live on a Gmail server, but I want to be able to send receive and search emails I previously passed through Gmail but now live on my server.

 

Unless they plan to drop some bombs over our heads I don't see how WW3 with the US involved would result in better accomodations for the ruzzians.

I'm a lazy gunless asshole typing away from my couch. But if some grade a asshole from ruzzia came to bother me, I probably could easily run downstairs and grab any one of many power tools capable of removing ruzzians body parts.

I believe the Ukrainian defense is going to kick ruzzians ass pretty good. Hopefully soon we'll see putin coming out of a smokey hole in the ground on a grainy YouTube video. putin is the real reason for the war. Removing him might bring up a few more people like him, but those can be removed since the public won't be behind them.

 

It used to be the Greatest advancement in Microsoft's purchased software ever! Plus teams...

Now I got One Note which should be renamed "Several Notes"

There's the one from the browser, the one from One Note student version, the pro version, the purple tab version, the gray tab version etc. and you can make any of them look different. You can have vertical tabs or horizontal tabs. It's like Linux except there's no actual functionality difference, it's just so different that you can't fucking follow what anyone else did on the same exact page. In the browser it might be highlighted with Roman Times font, yours might look like Arial font with no highlight but the background is light blue.

Anyway the app is a total trainwreck. It's still very useful but it's less effective if the thing looks and behaves so different that I don't understand where we're at on the page each time a member of my team presents it via teams.....

and thanks Microsoft for not having a simple button to maximize the page being presented. 5 minutes off every meeting is spent figuring out how to maximize the God damn content followed by or preceding a good 10 minutes of figuring out which is the mic or sound card or monitor you're supposed to be presenting on, followed by ...can you see it yet? Can you hear me? Can I hear them, I'll just rejoin, can you make it bigger? You can make it bigger if you remove the waste of space that is the big ass blocks with everyone's name on them! Ok how? Click here! No, go to view. I swear I've noticed it under preferences! No this is the browser version! Why can't It just install it on everyone's computer and all presentation rooms? Blah blah...ok we're ready to present but we're 5 minutes over. Thanks everyone who came!

Thanks bye!...bye!, bye! Bye guys!..... Hold on. A sec I didn't even come! What kind of company is this? The slide wasn't even that sort of material that makes me come. Well fine bye! I'll just come later to the Sears catalog.....who was that guy? It will check!

All joiners leave the meeting, the stage closes it's curtains abruptly....a woman still crying in the back corner...mhaaa! It's so good because it's true!.

The END
