If I had known how bad it’d get I would’ve chosen a different field to work in. Sure, I can avoid it in my private life but on the job it’s like I’m in some kind of hostage situation.

“Oh hi there customer! You know our product your users are accustomed to will only come as a subscription from now on and it’ll also be really bad and force full screen ads. We’ll push two updates per day because our unpaid interns are so agile. Bugs? Oh, no, we call those ‘micro disruptions’. They’re a feature but don’t cost extra! How much the license costs? Well, how much do you have? Yes, it’ll be that much.”

Also parental controls are ass. Yes you can block (most) pornography but you can’t tell a social media app to not blast a teenager with misinformation. It’s like a playground but with glass shards everywhere. You can forbid the kid from playing there altogether but they’d feel excluded while all their friends are having fun. Somehow there doesn’t seem to be an option to remove the fucking shards though.

Potato, potato.

You’re winning so much that you’re starting to say oh no it’s too much winning, ah, please stop.

When the end times are here and you find yourself bored you can come by my cave and check my collection of cool rocks and sticks.

I’m just glad that as I get older I’m more content with simple things. I’d be ok giving up most tech things and I say that while working in IT myself.

To be fair if you make an AI and ask it to be an authentic catholic priest you’d essentially have to reward it for such actions because it understood the assignment. Now why you’d make such an abomination in the first place that I don’t know. The ways of the lord and all that…

My favorite part was their demonstration of 3d sound in the video. Yes, this works great on my headphones watching YouTube.

Thanks for letting us know.

I disagree with this being a good test. Where on earth would you find a wall on a road with a fotorealistic continuation of the road printed on it? This would trick many human drivers. Self driving cars fail in many realistic situations that are a lot more concerning. This is just clickbait.

But a consistent amount of enshittification shocks

I think the proper term is enshittification sharts

I’ll kick a chicken and fart in their mouth right now if it means food is cheaper!

my man are you aware of plants? try some goddamn beans instead of farting into chickens. do not eat the beans if you’re set on the farting thing though. don’t want to make this worse.

It’s pretty much dead to me. I know it was always ass but at some point the OC/spam ratio gets too bad to bother. Lost memes were a good time. Now I’d have to sift through 80 incels calling eachother tranny to find a single post with a shred of an original thought behind it. Eh, maybe it’s the same and I just got too old for it. Doesn’t matter in the end.

It was also raw as fuck. That allowed for some very honest interactions but also introduced a shitload of trash to filter through. Then the whole political influx came in a decade ago and fully ruined it. lemmy seems like a good middle way. no senseless karma farming but also some tools to moderate.

“Nintendo WILL announce the Switch 2 in March. Everything I’m hearing dating back to Gamescom last year has indicated something was happening in March. That talk has resurfaced in the past few weeks, and it is indicating that the Switch 2 is set for a reveal or an announcement in March.”

That’s from the same RELIABLE leaker from a year ago and that’s just the first one I saw. The amount of leakers who claimed it would get announced over the last year is comically large. I guess if you post this once a week eventually you’ll be right. I mean, yeah an announcement seems likely at this point but there’s no need to bring Randomguess McGee into the conversation.

Imagine you’re in LA and a small community of survivors has formed. All of them need to eat and drink. Each of them could fuck up (leave door open, get infected and hide it, etc.). You sit down to make a list of all the skills they have and after hearing “improv theater” for the tenth time you change your mind about OP.

Even used the lever to do so.

and so it begins

I for one appreciate that ubisoft chose the top down view of poop as their logo. it’s the perfect symbol for everything they represent and they’re incredibly brave for wearing it proudly on their chest.
