• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Return to office is ‘dead,’ Stanford economist says. Here’s why⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cons: *Added stress of fighting traffic for no reason *Added expense of gasoline for no reason *More burning of fossil fuels for no reason *Worse bathrooms that you have to share *Worse kitchen that you have to share *Worse dress code *Less ergonomic office chair *Worse monitors *Slower Internet (in my case, at least) *More annoying disruptions from coworkers *Less peace and quiet needed for concentration *Have to sit in traffic yet again after you get off work

  Pros: *Managers get to feel more important when seeing all their little worker bees’ butts in their chairs. *Promotes shitty “office culture” *Corporate real estate owners get to keep collecting rent

  False.

  I’d like to get one of these to take on trips. It’s a shame it can’t be used on the plane, but it would still be nice in the hotel room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Is Halving The Number Of PlayStation Live-Service Games That It Aims To Launch By March 2026 - GameSpot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Read the room. Everyone hates these games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know. Handhelds are nice for travel, but they can hardly match the raw power of a dedicated home console.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelenskiy pushes US for more aid, invites Trump to Ukraine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That might be the case, but I think Trump supporters will see the invitation as international recognition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelenskiy pushes US for more aid, invites Trump to Ukraine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Inviting Trump makes me lose respect for Zelenskiy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Fiber goes big with 20-gig plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have their 1gbps plan, but I don’t see how I could utilize anything faster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI in big budget games is inevitable, say dev vets from Assassin's Creed and Everquest 2: 'Developers hate it … the money is still going to drive absolutely everybody to do it'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the idea of using it to give NPC’s intelligent things to say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm surprised there's not more cartoons with mimes as protagonists. It would probably cut down animation costs and you wouldn't need a voice actor.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There have been plenty of silent (or mostly silent) cartoon characters, even if they weren’t actual mines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another spoken word album is coming from Bill Shatner⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw him speak at a Comic Con. He seemed like he has an endless supply of anecdotes for us. It was very entertaining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Steve Jobs killed Flash. It was premeditated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's Alexa fumbles its facts by falsely claiming the 2020 presidential election was stolen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re probably right. In this age of impressive AI, Alexa is still dumb as a polished rock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta's new AI assistant trained on public Facebook and Instagram posts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s trained on Facebook and Instagram posts, it will be a troll and an idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone for text-based games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Very cool! This brings back memories of that time I was eaten by a grue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I also cannot play 1st person games for this same reason. But oddly enough, VR games actually make me feel less motion sick than flat 1st person games do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IBM Software mandates in-office work for employees living within 50 miles | "Software Executive Focals" will be laying down the law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta justify all those facilities expenses!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT is losing some of its hype, as traffic falls for the third month in a row⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They definitely nerfed it. We will probably end up in a situation where corporations and the rich have access to god-tier AI, and everyone else has access to mediocre, ad-supported AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas grid paid firm to stop mining crypto during heatwave⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I need to get into the business of being paid to not mine crypto. Sounds lucrative, and I have the skillset already.

  It’s okay to be a purest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  He has so thoroughly ruined Twitter that you can’t help but wonder if that was his goal from the outset.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is saying "Don't need to know hebrew to know the Holocaust was bad" antisemetic?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No. It’s a fact. You also don’t need to know any other specific language in order to know that the Holocaust was bad.
