I thought it was a goosebumps too and was upset it wasn’t so I decided to have a chat bot name one for me
Title: “Goosebumps: The Skeletons of Scream Park”
Chapter 1: Chills Down the Spine It was a dark and stormy night as Sam and Emma approached Scream Park, the creepiest amusement park in town. They had heard rumors about the park being haunted, but they were thrill-seekers, and the promise of the world’s scariest rollercoaster had lured them in. Little did they know that their lives were about to take a bone-chilling turn.
Chapter 2: Enter the Skeletons As they boarded the “Bone Rattler” rollercoaster, they felt an icy breeze that sent shivers down their spines. The rollercoaster roared to life, but there was something strange about the riders in the other cars – they were skeletons! Sam and Emma’s screams mixed with the rattling bones as they plummeted down the tracks.
Chapter 3: The Haunting Begins After the ride, Sam and Emma tried to escape the park, but it was impossible. Everywhere they turned, they encountered more skeletons, and they couldn’t find the exit. The park seemed to have a sinister, bone-chilling secret.
Chapter 4: Uncovering the Truth Desperate to uncover the truth, they discovered an old, dusty book in the park’s library. It told a story about an ancient curse that had turned the park’s visitors into skeletons who would never leave. Sam and Emma had to break the curse to escape the nightmare.
Chapter 5: The Race Against Time With time running out, they embarked on a treacherous journey through the park, facing terrifying challenges and solving riddles to gather the ingredients needed to break the curse. They realized the rollercoasters were the key, and they had to ride each one to find the cursed amulet that could free the trapped souls.
Chapter 6: Confronting the Curse In a climactic showdown, they found themselves face-to-face with the sinister skeleton that had cursed the park. They had to outsmart the curse and use the amulet’s power to restore the lost souls.
Chapter 7: Breaking the Spell With a final burst of courage, Sam and Emma shattered the amulet, releasing the spirits of the trapped visitors and ending the curse. The skeletons slowly transformed into grateful, living people.
Chapter 8: Escape from Scream Park As the first rays of dawn broke, Sam and Emma hurried out of the park. They were relieved to finally leave Scream Park behind, but they couldn’t forget the chilling adventure they’d had. The park was now closed for good.
Chapter 9: The Aftermath In the end, Sam and Emma realized that some thrills were better left unexplored. They left Scream Park with a newfound appreciation for the simpler joys in life.
Chapter 10: The Bone-Chilling Memory Though they had escaped the curse, the memory of the skeletons riding the rollercoasters haunted their dreams, reminding them of the spine-tingling adventure they’d faced at Scream Park.
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
The way ads are displayed effects how effective they are which in turn effects how valuable they are. More people turning to adblockers reduces the effectiveness of the ads and devalues the advertising method as a whole, more adblockers being used, lower effectiveness. YouTube then has to resort to putting in effort to combat adblockers which itself costs even more, ads have to become more intrusive to retain their value so YouTube can maintain it’s own servers and pay it’s content creators and it becomes an endless cycle of “fuck you I want your service for free and you are trampling my rights for trying to profit off me using your product”. In return all YouTube asks of you to obtain an ad-free video watching session for a month is $4 ($22/month split among 6 users)
I tried looking for the Mars Rover that is using a compute module and couldn’t find any that were using one which makes sense because it’s not radiation hardened and they need to operate well outside of the temperature range that the modules actually tolerate. They seem to all be using a radiation hardened version of an IBM power PC 750 that is manufactured by a company name BAE. Ignoring that fact though the Mars Rover does not meet the same low latency processing requirements that this meme is referencing so we can move along further.
“Most Ukrainian drives use it too” while I can’t quantify these numbers it does appear that the Ukrainian military uses orange pi’s for their “kamikaze” drones which is good for that application as it’s easy to source and doesn’t require any heavy demand. As for everything else I was able to locate on the subject, it all appears to be typical DSP processors Analog Devices SHARC’s and the TI equivalents such as the TMS320F28335As for the Iris-T I could not find any information one way or another there. It’s indicating high velocity and use of radar so I can’t imagine they are using anything other than a DSP processor as you are going to need to shave every single microsecond of response time to maximize your effectiveness.
That’s why Google announces the end of things unlike other companies who will just silently let them fall into obscurity. They don’t want to mislead people
Not the guy you are asking but I think I could give some insight. I don’t think it’s going to “fail” in every regard but it’s going to decline significantly and become an echo chamber for the extremeist types that are driving everyone away. After all the more reasonable and normal active types have left the extremists will likely turn on each other over very minute details that don’t exactly correlate to their specific world view and it will likely turn into an all out brawl.
That being said Reddit is very likely to pull more stupid anti-user bullshit and send a few more waves of users to Lemmy and spike the numbers some more at which point hopefully has all their mod tools figured out and communities get solved to actually allow for niches to be usable.
The success of Lemmy lies entirely on a perfect timing of Reddit fucking up again before the infighting becomes too bad and people returning to Reddit warn people away from going to lemmy

MacOS is a literal dumpster fire. The vast majority of their haters just got an immediate obsolete call. and Windows 11 has been absolutely amazing. I can’t tell if you are being satirical
TL;DW: Vox details all the reasons why a large fraction, if not a majority, of urban deliveries can and should be delivered by cargo e-bikes instead of delivery vans.
I think it’s important to point out that the video states that vans contribute to a big chunk of vehicle CO2 emissions. What they didn’t really care to touch on is the fact that probably less than 1/3 of those vehicles are being used for actual package delivery
Doesn’t appear so, seems Google is okay with them unionizing. According to a ruling from a while back Google is required to bargain with the union just as much as cognizant is but it appears cognizant is the one which is unwilling to bargain with the workers. Google’s track record with workers leads me to believe that they have no issue with workers unionizing.
Yeah I read this article and other sources on the subject that give more details. Google has said they support them organizing but it’s not up to them. As far as I’m aware Google is the only tech giant that has an employee workers union
Amazon Warehouse and delivery drivers unionizing is not similar to the situation that the YouTube Music workers are dealing with and aren’t the same as what the Alphabet union is but I’m glad you feel like undermining alphabet users achieving what they have but you are fully into recognizing two Apple retail stores barely passing and neglecting to mention their constant Union busting and propaganda. Thanks for supporting workers!

I’ve never paid for it. Most Windows 11 users have not paid for it. You can buy a license but they also gave it away to effectively everyone and anyone who wants to can run it without buying it so long as you don’t mind the “activate more” watermark and less appearance options
So people having the ability to use it and cover week their needs without having to pay money to Microsoft for Windows 11 then that means Microsoft needs to recoup those costs somehow. I know you want to move those goal post but the reality is still what it is.
More than likely they didn’t buy a Windows 11 license. It’s far more likely they bought a Windows 10, 8 or whatever the hell license from previous versions. Only a small percentage will have bought 11
All I see is sources that say Windows is less problematic and less expensive long and short term. I found one source that says otherwise called JAMF and that actually turned out to be, well, as they put it “Helping organizations manage and secure an Apple experience that end users love and organizations trust.” So I’m gonna have to omit this guy for bias
