Forget all the other traditions, the true meaning of the season is a battle of rhymes with a skeletal horse

Eternally relevant

Those people aren’t deleted from existence, they still produce just as much carbon they just don’t have jobs.

Productivity gains are meaningless when it just means that bosses will demand more work in less time

One would think that with their resources, Google/YouTube could actually vet the ads they run on their platform before they run them. At the very least, check the ads coming from unknown companies

I think the more likely situation is that they’ll have AI pregenerate a bunch of possible quest lines and then have a human curate them. Prevents things ending up as complete nonsense but still allows for a massive range of possibilities that seems endless while using a lot less processing power. Also pre-empts any situations of players trying to break the AI running in the background.

The issue is that so far, AI is really just pattern emulation. I imagine it’s fine to flesh out cheap “Kill 10 boars” sidequests, but LLMs are not very good at original or meaningful stories and frequently break down into nonsense over long narratives. It’s more likely you’ll get the sort of simple self-made stories you see in procgen or rogue like games

Can I ask how the transition was? Did it keep everything about your account intact?

Of course he has a bunker

I use SmartTube on my Android TV and it hasn’t run into any issues so far. If you can install 3rd party apps you might want to give it a try

All the time, it’s great for riding the train or focusing at work. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones but they’re slower and harder to connect so I prefer wired over them. Also since wired are cheaper and don’t require batteries I can keep a spare pair in my car or at my desk so I never have to worry about forgetting and not having them

All these startups are owned by venture capital firms, who will eventually sell to one of the handful of companies that own everything, OpenAI is no different and Altman is like every other tech CEO that sells out

The best way to prevent LogoFAIL attacks is to install the UEFI security updates that are being released as part of Wednesday’s coordinated disclosure process. Those patches will be distributed by the manufacturer of the device or the motherboard running inside the device.

Supposedly today? Depends on the manufacturer

This has been happening to me for a while prior to the latest update. At least a month, as I noticed it when posting about the Lost Caverns of Ixalan spoilers. I thought it was just a feature that Sync hadn’t implemented yet. I can edit comments just fine but posts, both on my instance and on other instances, are unable to be edited. I’ve logged into the web front end and confirmed I can edit posts that way, so it’s not due to specific instance rules.

Elon is not free speech, he regularly bans, fires or bullies anyone that disagrees with or makes fun of him.

If 10 farmers can make enough to feed 100 people, and new tech comes out that makes it possible for 5 farmers to make enough to feed 100 people, the ideal scenario is that now all 10 farmers should only have to work half as much. What usually ends up happening is that half the farmers are laid off so the boss at the top can pocket the extra money.

This is how we end up with enough resources to feed, clothe and house everyone but still have people living in poverty. Because the system is no longer designed to provide for people, it’s meant to make profit for capitalists. It makes technological progress a negative instead of the positive of should be.

If this dude “loved every minute of the 80+ hour work weeks of the early 2000’s”, feels like I can safely ignore anything he has to say about work

More issues caused by features no one asked for but done anyways so investors can see “growth”

For Microblogging so far I’ve used Mastodon because it seems to have the most feature complete apps from what I’ve seen (Megalodon and Tusky are both good). For the most part they interface together, I follow people on Misskey.

While it’s got a good amount of activity I don’t use it as much as Lemmy since the advantage here is that things are sorted into communities so it’s easier to find good content. You can follow tags on Mastodon, but because it has no real algorithm and the “toots” are less substantial than Lemmy submissions I find that you get a lot of banal status updates. It also has to compete with Bluesky which has more name recognition being made by ex-Twitterites that also draws more users away from it. If you can find good people to follow it’s good but I think we’re still waiting on a critical mass of people to move from the former site.

People don’t have issues paying. As you said, if it was a user-run co-op, people would be fine with it. But as it stands right now the services keep raising their prices just because they can while all the money goes to the bosses and shareholders while the actual people who do most of the work get whatever is left over
