Ah I see what you mean.
- Comment on When people say the AI bubble will burst, what exactly does that mean? 2 days ago:
Or we work lul
- Comment on Consumer Financial Protection Bureau moves to place Google under supervision 2 days ago:
There are many other ways to fuck with government organizations, take away their teeth and funding and they’re essentially a lame duck, then when the delayed effects are felt in the next admin, it’s blamed on them instead of looking at how it got so bad.

- Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? 2 weeks ago:
Not so much defending heavy taxation on the working class specifically, instead focusing solely on why the wealthy and mega corps have to have a low tax rate
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 weeks ago:
Oh OK lol
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 weeks ago:
Because being in the in crowd is more of a status symbol at that level then for things like cars.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 weeks ago:
And it’ll be so revolutionary… Somehow
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 weeks ago:
Status symbol

You can use teams in a browser, that’s really all it is on dekstop anyway.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 weeks ago:
It’s a hard sell to say they aren’t at least complicit, BUT realistically what could they do?
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 3 weeks ago:
Definitely pure convenience and flavor.
Wife bought one (even though we have refillables) and damn if it doesn’t taste really fucking good, hits perfectly without needing to fuck with it.
Still don’t think we should make it a regular thing because it’s so wasteful
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 3 weeks ago:
Personally, I had Slack then teams mobile for work because I didn’t mind helping outside normal work hours on one off stuff.

Notepad++ is still good :p
- Comment on Is Lebanon part of Israel’s promised territory? 1 month ago:
This response sums up my feelings as well.
- Comment on Is Lebanon part of Israel’s promised territory? 1 month ago:
I understand the sentiment, but does that really justify killing innocent civilians at a music event?
- Comment on Preference 1 month ago:
My laymen understanding is they slowly break down and become less effective but not dangerous or negative.
- Comment on Preference 1 month ago:
I have a bit of an alternative, I used to get headaches a lot as a child, the meds absolutely helped as usually I’d take them so I could sleep it off, which almost always did clear it up.
I’m not sure why I was so frequently having headaches, but it definitely dropped off a lot once I moved out and started my own life, now it’s only maybe once or twice a month.
- Comment on Preference 1 month ago:
Is that technically an allergic reaction?
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 patch introduces a casual mode, which stops your sick pawns from blowing everyone in a town up, among other things 1 month ago:
Unless there’s a multiplayer aspect where it gives an unfair advantage, while it might be a bit unsavory and potentially predatory, I think being able to get those mtx in game “legit” without it being a slog is honestly much less shitty then other MTX I’ve seen.
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
Nah yeah I don’t disagree, I’m not a fan of gambling, I just know it was prevelant within Eve and generally prefer systems that are potentially more fair.
Similarly, I’m not a fan of prostitution, but I’d be in favor of legalizing it in the US so that they have more protection under the law.
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
There is a lot of transactions that end up taking place “off game” with things like casinos/gambling being a specific example for EVE. Rather then having to trust that you’ll get your isk (I never played but watched the down the rabbit hole on EVE, which is great BTW, and watched from afar throughout the years).
With a smart contract system, there wouldn’t be the same concerns that things aren’t being distributed properly, unless there’s a bug in how the smart contract was written, which absolutely can and has happened, but at least it’d all be publicly viewable. That’s one thing I very much appreciate about the idea of crypto in general, transparency in where money is moving.
I’m sure there’s other potentials but that one stuck out to me as gambling was a rather large part of eve history.
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
Extensibility, lots of collaborative development work across the crypto landscape rather then only being done by the company producing the game.
A quick obvious example mentioned was smart contracts, a company attempting to create that functionality from the ground up would be a lot more work then hooking into an already existing infrastructure where many lessons have already been learned from prior failures.
It doesn’t actually state in the article (because the writer was mostly just whining that crypto exists) but I am curious if the idea would be for the tokens to be transacted or utilized outside of the game itself in some fashion while still being completely track able.
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
Lmfao using smart contract functionality for an in-game currency actually makes a ton of sense. It’s basically just a more extensible version of any in-game currency.
The caveat I think of is fees required to transact being a potential issue, otherwise the article just screams of “I hate block chain and refuse to see how it could be used in any way”
- Comment on Google Wallet will let you make a digital ID from a US passport 2 months ago:
I’m sure it’ll be killed and rebranded the new Google pay and the features will be dropped. Then in 5 year rinse and repeat.
I still have a physical Google wallet card from like 2013

The funny thing with that, I haven’t seen a term taken like that from a tech company though.
- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 2 months ago:
I assumed leftzero@lemmynsfw was you? Since you replied to my reply to them as if it was you.
Maybe not tho lol Idk, both have zero in the name so it made sense xD
- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 2 months ago:
I guess? I would also guess your genAI is more of the NSFW variety then an LLM given your alt and what I’ve seen federated from your server xD
So I definitely treat LLMs like enhanced search, have gotten wrong info but it pointed me in the right direction, in those instances it’s still helpful as long as you know it very well will provide inaccurate info
- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 2 months ago:
I’m a different person then who you were replying to, I know that LLMs do hallucinate/lie/make up sources, but you can quickly check if the sources are real
- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 2 months ago:
Spoken like someone who never even tried to use an LLM and just parrots the bad things they hear online.
Lemmy is full of LLM haters, I get where they’re coming from but they take it to the extreme every single time.
