Microsoft will continue on inertia for years. but it’s basically a walking corpse full of parasites at this point.

My hypothesis is that the least competent people use AI the most, and it’s a big multiplier on their incompetence.

A lot of Linux works out of the box now. If folks started selling preconfigured Linux machines like you can buy for windows, that’s all most people need. Valve is following a good strategy

We know he’s a monster and yet we do nothing to stop him. The laws are powerless. Simply shooting him is seen as gauche.

Teams is the worst. Microsoft keeps finding new lows.

Not excited for this to be used to squash union efforts (legally or not)

Using a summary written by a soulless lie machine is irresponsible

Most people seem to not even have any notion of how things can be better. They never even think to look up like “block ads”. They just take whatever fuckery they get

I don’t think we should let this guy just walk around. He’s clearly a danger to himself and others.

I mean, I imagine there’s still a window where you can ask for it for free, but you make an interesting point. For many people, it has lowered their cost of food. I’m not sure all of them could have found free food as easily.

Everyone who supported this bill is a climate criminal and should have a punishment proportional to poisoning every living person on the planet.

Her father said two of the three drinks she was accused of “stealing” were about to be thrown out.

Too many places throw out perfectly good food and that should be a crime.

There’s an app “too good to go” that lets you buy some discounted food at EOD, and there’s probably other similar things out there.

Where I used to work at a supermarket, I made friends with the deli guy and got a lot of food before it was thrown out. Management didn’t like it, of course.

I tip generously at my local bar and in return they sometimes give me free stuff. Got a whole sandwich recently.

There’s still going to be an opportunity cost. You can build massive renewable sources, but powering a data center with it is a shit use compared to other things.

Leadership are mostly idiots. They don’t know how work gets done. They think like “wow it produced so many lines of code!” and don’t know that’s not a useful metric.

My job had Microsoft do a four hour copilot demo for the entire team last week. (Surely an immense expense. They won’t pay for most people to be full time with benefits). The guy used copilot to make a regex to parse html. A little surprised zalgo didn’t show up.

None of the fines for these things are enough. It should be, like, the company is nationalized. The leadership is sentenced to years of community service and barred from working in the industry for life.

“Our new policy is simple: If you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it; you should. But we will not force you,” Hegseth said in April.

Hegseth is a profoundly stupid person who should not be entrusted to make any decisions. He should be removed from power to spend the rest of his obscured life cleaning up litter or something similarly useful.

That’s also a problem, yes. DRM free is best. I’m extremely reluctant to pay for a game I can’t play offline as much as I want. (Barring MMOs and the like, I guess. Don’t play a lot of those, myself)

All the wealth is being concentrated in the hands of too few people. I’m not going to buy a $120 game when my salary is down, or I’m just laid off.

It’s a demand pointed out the entire capitalist hellscape, of which epic is a part, not them specifically.

Sweeney’s a billionaire. He could be pushing for labor to have a bigger slice of the pie. But he won’t, because he’s a soulless husk.

I don’t have the personal budget to buy a lot of games. Pay me more and I’ll spend more. Otherwise, fuck all the way off
