From the people I can observe more closely, it’s easier to read body language in person and make guesses based on those results. Naturally, my observations of people who I don’t really know are going to be off more often than not. As snapshots of human behavior aren’t always going to yield anything useful, people can play up all the behavior most would consider ‘proper’.

“There’s something that most people unconsciously project in actions, direction of gaze, and other non-verbal cues that often tells me a lot about them before knowing them. Most of the time it’s not bad stuff, just things that people occasional do or feel.” That really isn’t a psychic power, it’s more about observation and figuring out when social cues don’t add up. I don’t believe in psychic powers, as they haven’t been proven yet! I do believe in observation, reading body language and interpreting that. You can get a lot of information from people from that alone. I just said ‘vibe’ because I don’t know how to quantify the idea sometimes.

I didn’t feel anything was off with this dude; nothing seemed amiss, which truly caught me off guard. I guess you could say that pedos and other predators have a ‘something is amiss’ vibe, as I’ve picked them out before knowing a person long. Like certain customers or fellow co-workers, politicians or other people that spend way too much time on camera. There’s something that most people unconsciously project in actions, direction of gaze, and other non-verbal cues that often tells me a lot about them before knowing them. Most of the time it’s not bad stuff, just things that people occasional do or feel.

Same, not a famous porn star, but then again I only saw him through the lens of other people. Austin is great at masking the reprehensible part of himself, which is quite a worrisome skill to possess; I’m glad they caught him because the harm CSAM causes is immense.

WTF?! That’s completely out of left field, the last dude I’d expect to be tried in court for child pornography charges.

It’s nice to see these small victories against disinformation engines such as Alex Jones.

Damn, that’s lame! Domino’s used to be cheaper than Pizza Hut and decent pizza. I’d be annoyed too. If not for the sensitivity to food smells, you’d have saved money!

Once, before the brainwashing took hold, Eric likely had some original thoughts. Now he’s just a younger version of his father, a sad creature doomed to be nothing more than a puppet.

ROFL, The delusion is so strong they can repeat bullshit without wincing.

Yeah, there is always new Kool-Aid for executives to consume. I just wish more research, discourse, and testing were done before these concepts became either a scam or a true innovation. Of all the things that you’ve mentioned, there are only a few things of which I have no knowledge of; as a lay person, my familiarity with some of these tech developments is due to the major media coverage some got. I’ll have to look into the unfamiliar tech innovations.

They’ve gotten drunk on the hype of AI (LLM in disguise); I can’t wait for them to make a costly mistake that wakes them the fuck up. Or dissolve into a formless mass of corporate sludge.

Yikes, that dude is such a slimy git! Being a bag of crimes isn’t particularly erotic (maybe to the unhinged GOP they might give him some pay to see what’s hanging). ROFL

Honestly, I’d accept something much better but not a massive upgrade. The thing enough power under the hood to make it easier for devs to port their games. Making the Switch an attractive choice and for games to run smoothly on their handheld/console. I would prefer Nintendo bring back home consoles, as it would be easier to make a strong performer.

My hope is that they make a true contender, however, this might not be Nintendo’s plan. They very well may choose to make another gimmick; perhaps Nintendo will refine a gimmick this time with their next hardware release?

Eh, if there’s no announcement, I can’t be bothered. As of late, the Switch has been showing its age to me. I don’t want to buy games for out of date hardware; I will play the games that I own, but not buy another game until Nintendo gets vastly improved hardware out there.

Good, Microsoft needs to face the consequences caused by their preventable security lapses. Keeping corporations honest by punishing their security lapses with strong penalties is needed! Companies and services collect so much personal data that they need to have stronger security to deter malicious actors from attacking their systems. Cybersecurity needs to be made a priority in this age of cyber-terrorism, identity theft, scams, and fraud.

ROFL That is the point, failing to adhere to any court orders means there are consequences for that violation. These MAGA fools need to feel the consequences of their actions to understand they can’t play stupid games, it results in stupid prizes.

By being a chaotic and unsuitable person for public office, is the cause of people waking up and realizing they made a mistake in believing in Boebert. Consequences for playing stupid games, are always paid in full eventually!

I have an iPhone, this is the main reason why I am waiting to see what my options are post paying off my phone! Maybe in a few years time Linux on Mobile matures enough to be a daily driver, I could get a phone which would allow for easy custom OS flashing. I have flashed custom OS on my phones before, it’s not hard to do if you’re able to unlock the device. Honestly, I would prefer there be a real competitor in the phone space who used a Linux Distro as a mobile OS. Someone to drive the development of an open OS on mobile, someone who could back that growth to make sure progress is made. However, in the Android/iOS market, it would be a challenge to get into it, proven by Microsoft’s own failure. Which was due to not having a solid release candidate, app ecosystem, and failing to get significant market share in the mobile phone space.

I like System 76’s hardware, so that’s another reason for wanting to get a laptop from them. If Tuxedo had a USA branch, I would’ve likely gone with their laptop and eventually desktop when it was time for an upgrade. A YouTuber has shown off their Linux Desktops and I do like them quite a bit!

Huh, well that’s good to know! I might buy my laptop from System 76 since they are based in the USA instead of Tuxedo. As Tuxedo is based in Germany, the shipping cost is higher, and it will take longer for me to receive my laptop. If I were based in the EU, Tuxedo would be a no-brainer choice. As far as Pine64; After reading about their smartphone offerings, I’m a bit leery of committing to them as an option. It’s more for mavericks in the Linux space. I am more of an average user who can follow instructions, my knowledge is not a deep well and I could very well get over my head quickly. I still have to pay off my current device anyway; once that’s done, I could make a choice on what my next smartphone might be once it reaches EOL.

This is exciting because a Linux powered phone has been my dream for a while now! I’ve been keeping an eye on Purism, waiting for the day they put out a phablet powered with their custom distro and 5G UC support. To support them, I am strongly considering buying their Librem 14 laptop for on the go creative writing!
