This is a horrible idea and everyone involved in its conception and implementation should be barred from working in technology ever again.

It’s an injustice to hold someone like that for so long and then just let them go like nothing happened. They should be given money and support (therapy, tutors, job placement, whatever).

Some people love their country like a child loves their parent. Uncritical. They can do no wrong and are the best ever. Don’t be like that.

Some people love their like like a peer loves a peer. You see their flaws and want them to be the best they can be. Be like that, even when it’s uncomfortable and difficult.

Venture capitalists (idiot husks with more money than brains, but tremendous ego and unjustified confidence) give world-changing amounts of money to a lot of stupid shit and hope at least one of them somehow turns into a big payday. Sometimes they break laws (eg: uber, airbnb). It’s a horrible way of running a society.

We could be solving homelessness, hunger, diseases, the climate crisis. Instead, these fucking idiots are pouring millions of dollars into shit like “an AI to listen to music for you”.

I’ve been saying that for years. Now I have about 250 albums drm-free on Bandcamp. A good chunk of that money went to the people making the music, too.

I know there are people out there paying a subscription to Spotify who listen to the same dozen albums over and over, too.

Imperial system (or whatever the US system is called ) should go away. Let’s all just one standard.

Unfortunately, since I’m from the US, I only really know this one, and it’s hard to switch when nothing else has switched. I’d put up with the pain of switching though.

Please start live streaming your actions in public for us all to watch. You don’t have any abusive exes or family members, I hope. Also I trust you’ve never said anything to irritate right wing fanatics. Maybe if it’s a little more personal, you’d have a little more empathy.

Also, of note, not all limits are from the law. Peer pressure and private businesses saying “You can’t do that in here” are also tools.

Something being legal doesn’t make it good.

People want to be able to go out into the world without being filmed. That was the case for thousands of years. It is not unreasonable to expect limits on recording in public.

Now one of the worst organizations on earth (meta) wants to record everyone and everything for their private benefit. People are mad.

People assume it’s all terminal all the time. I haven’t needed to open the terminal for months. It starts up. With the GUI I open the browser. Maybe steam, too. Do stuff. Shut down.

He left you unattended in his apartment? Bold.

Don’t just stay there all day. Go home. Make plans for a third date. That’s weird to just stay there.

I don’t disagree with your post but I’m pretty sure the joke in the meme is the one calling themselves a nice guy is actually an asshole. That’s revealed in the “stop ignoring my DMs” ending. So it’s not actually a pro “nice guy” meme. Which you probably got, but maybe missed it?

The problem is capitalism. Specifically, the consolidation of power in a small number of decision makers.

Break up the big companies. Stop letting them do mergers and acquisitions. You don’t even have to do something radical like dismantling capitalism entirely.

How did this get normalized?

The average user doesn’t know or understand technical details, and don’t believe they have any power to change anything

Also capitalism means a small number of assholes make most of the decisions for reasons that benefit them

There should be consequences for trying to pass all these horrible and doomed bills. Unfortunately the people keep voting for the people writing them.

I feel like you could make an argument that “money” is ambiguous here. Bobby has more monetary value, but Amy has more items that are considered money. In a contrived example of like a DND puzzle where you need to put money on a floor tiles to disarm the traps, Amy can disable 30 and bobby only 4

I understood that reference

One of the things that makes open world games and especially Elder Scrolls so successful is the sense of exploration and place

Someone wrote that comment elsewhere and I needed to quote it in order to argue that Bethesda doesn’t even do a good job of that. Level scaling really kneecaps it

I have used copilot a couple times to be like “I have this scenario and want to do this. What are my options?”. I’d rather have a good Internet search and real people, but that’s all shitted up.

The answers from the LLM aren’t even consistently good. If I didn’t know programming I wouldn’t be able to use this information effectively. That’s probably why a lot of vibe coding is so bad.

Upvote things I felt like were worth reading. Down vote things I didn’t think were worth reading.

Per-encounter resource used are generally better for me, yes.

It’s one of my big problems with DND. Almost the whole thing is centered around per-day so there’s this constant pressure to avoid actually using anything. Like, you could end the fight with a 3rd level spell, or you could slowly end it without spending any resources. It takes longer to play but is otherwise mechanically superior. Deeply anti-fun for me.
