Literally the first thing I do on every new computer I've used in the last 20 years or so is change the setting to show all file extensions. It's always been scummy of Microsoft to hide those details and can only be justified at all by the notion that they want to make people dependent on their icons...which is a decent business justification and a horrible moral justification.

Just a squirrel tryin to get a nut man, don't hate.
That's just cause AI can't make it's mouth into the shape of an O while it says "Feb-ROO-ary.
I use it to scream into the void and be completely uncivil because I'm civil and soft-spoken in the rest of life. In other words, I go to the dumpster when I feel like treating Trump supporters like trash :)
To do, or don't to do...that is the question.
Oh, apologies my good Lemming but you're mistaken. We make affordable ones here but the auto companies decided they'd make more money if they artificially keep supply low to keep prices high. Car Graveyards
This reminded me of Akuma's death symbol from Street Fighter and it's actually pretty close.
What if it IS a search engine? Maybe there's a site out there that posts every question to a random fediverse sub!
Matter of fact, let's make one. We'll just use scripts to post every question to social media but program it to say the wrong thing first so that it gets instant results when everyone jumps on the "person" who was wrong. Brilliant!
That's really not true at all though. Look up "Food Pantries in my area" and see how many places offer food in your area. The blind man would qualify for lifetime disability checks. Food stamps are a thing, charities and churches do this kind of work as well. My city has an emergency rent program and there are, of course, homeless shelters and soup kitchens as well. It's really that society's mechanism for meeting the needs of the hungry are part voluntary (charity) and part automatic with entitlements (not a bad word!) and sometimes people fall through the cracks.
This is why getting people connected to resources is such a big deal.
I was checking out Archer for streaming the other day and noticed the episodes were 22 minutes long, which means 8 minutes of commercials in that half-hour TV time slot, or 26.666% of the total time.
That's why I stopped watching TV in the first place, they're essentially offering to "pay" you 22 minutes of entertainment for every 8 minutes of ads you'll watch and that's just completely not worth it to me. Would you pay $2 to watch an hour-long show? If so, to watch ads instead, you'd pay them 16 minutes of your time, and your labor would be paid at a tad less than 8 dollars an hour in entertainment as currency. If you'd only pay a dollar, halve that.
I play games so that my entire 30 minutes is fun and I'll pay for it with the money I make at my job rather than paying the TV industry in minutes of my time..the thing I have the least of. It's this really weird setup that's just become accepted where they pay us out in entertainment at near minimum-wage rates for time spent trying to program us.
(Archer aside....on shit that ain't even that entertaining)
The whole fuckin thing isn't worth it.
That's a little over 3 per waking hour.
