Remember when Russia had all those cyber attacks and suddenly, a huge chunk of Reddit stopped spewing hate?

(us giving energy to Anonymous)

That’s a pretty good idea. Musk is a fan of Roman history. Do a Decimation Elon! Fire every 10th developer! That’ll bring the system back up!

It is when it comes to Twitter. They’ve tinkered with Grok to block reality to better suit whatever Musk believes is true.

That’s probably the closest to support/press there is from that shit hole.

Every single company.

All it takes is your favorite company to suddenly be run by a CEO who wants to maximize profits or increase shareholder value, or worse, think they’re God’s Gift to the World. Or in the flip side, they’re fighting for survival so they have to make scummy decisions to keep afloat.

That’s what my dog does.

He tears into the couch in one side of the house to get you annoyed, then runs to eat cat litter, then runs upstairs to take the kid’s toys.

Do enough chaos to get something and tire us out.

The comments here are smug as fuck.

That’s how Reddit was in the beginning.

Back then, you used to show someone “the front page of the internet” and it would literally be jailbait and tech news.

The defense of “it’s so easy just pick a server” is getting exhausting.

The average person wants something that works.

Around 2010, I worked for a company where one project was to increase the social profile of our company. We hired a marketing company to help us improve how our CTO, CEO, CFO, all the C-level folks looked to the public. Pretty much, throwing money to make these people get famous, so the company to could make money from all the news.

A year later, CFO was on talk shows discussing his new book, which was a NYT best seller. The book was garbage and full of content scraped from a dozen other “thought leaders”.

The thought leader circlejerk where hundreds of them have ghost writers write their shit, all of them tell the same 10 stories, all of them quote each other, all of them buy their way onto NYT best sellers list because some thought leader friend wanted to do the same so they inflate the sales. Then the Ted talks, the podcast tours, the constant INNOVATORS bs. Yuck.

But I want AI to convert my mp3s to Oggs and vice versa 😭😭😭

Not some stupid “conversion library” or whatever that is

Not me! I got Kingdom Come for either under $5 or free last year.

So I expect to get the sequel at the same price in about six years.

Also the whole Gamersgate backlash that the lead was actively encouraging, and now the dev arguing against the anti-woke crowd… Yeah I’m not in a rush to give them money.

Thanks for the write up! I had no idea this is why Suicide Squad was such a letdown.

Wonder woman is, in my opinion, an odd choice for a video game. I think it could be really good, and her rope would translate well to video game mechanics, but it doesn’t feel like Wonder Womans time to shine right now

Id argue that I felt the same about Batman not being translatable to a game during the 2000s. Video games based on comics were absolutely awful. Superman 64 was a nightmare, and Batman games were beat-em-ups or platformers.

But really smart creatives made the Arkham series work. So I’m optimistic that in the hands of strong visionaries, it’s absolutely possible.

Now, do I think WB has the capacity to make a good Wonder Woman game? Haha nope. Not after what they’ve shown in the last few years.

Some people need to be separated. This isn’t about censorship, it’s about group dynamics.

Let’s take it from both angles - just to avoid politics. A disruptive kid in a classroom affects every other kid. Get rid of that kid, and suddenly the whole classroom improves. Everyone can agree to that.

The other side - a company has a pro-union worker. Shitty company doesn’t like not controlling their workers, so they find a way to fire them.

Back to the Nazi, separate them from the rest of society. We don’t need them.

I regret not making friends with the neighbors who owned chickens. They’re sitting on bird gold.

In a room full of dickheads, it’s often the loudest dickhead that gets their way. Often it’s the CEO.

Pretty much. These commenters seem to believe engineers are given all the resources needed to deliver everything in time in perfect condition.

I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.

After watching Trump boost his crypto scams, I absolutely believe that the X wallet or whatever has the means to successfully fleece morons.

(me wishing CVS/Rite aid/Walgreens didn’t destroy all the mom and pop drug stores)
