How do you people think games are made? The entire field is notorious for its working conditions

You mean the idea that if wasn’t created completely by people? It matters to you that some unpaid intern wasn’t forced to work overtime writing the most boring bullshit scaffolding code?

I didn’t say that. It should be more specific to have any meaning to the consumer.

Steam should combat shovelware whether it’s AI slop or human slop

Of course, that’s why we need better guidelines. It’s like beauty ads that have to declare they used Photoshop. Every photo is edited if you don’t make it clear what you mean

Climate protesters in Britain got years in jail for even planning to peacefully protest on a motorway. Fascism is already here, folks. And fuck The Sun

Let them. Trust me, you’ll feel much better
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 1 month ago:
The point is they should be fighting AI, not open the door even an inch to AI on their site. Like so many other endeavors, it only works because the contributors are human. Not corpos, not AI, not marketing. AI kills Wikipedia if they let that slip. Look at StackOverflow, look at Reddit, look at Google search, look at many corporate social media. Dead internet theory is all around us.
Wikipedia is trusted because it’s all human. No other reason

Not what you asked for, but my music taste was shaped massively by Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series
- Comment on Wait, that game is still playable online? 1 month ago:
Best MOBA imo, no idea why it flopped (except pushing a pro gaming scene for an arcade version of the genre)
- Comment on Wait, that game is still playable online? 1 month ago:
It was 99% cheaters, last time I checked. Has that changed?
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 1 month ago:
Context menu bloat was solved iW11 by hiding all those actions you do use behind a “more…” button 🤦♂️ Microsoft sucks, it’s not even funny
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 2 months ago:
But why? People just want to talk and chat. The technology has been around for ages! Let users host their own servers
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 2 months ago:
As a former software engineer turned product owner turned manager, thank you for including other perspectives. When complaining on the internet, engineers typically think other people should be doing all the specification work and they just implement it, without realizing that in the pre-agile days, the bureaucracy was soul-crushing. We need engineers to discuss all these technical details like permissions and whatnot, they’re the best people for the task! But at parties, engineers talk about this as if management is stupid for not working it out for them. No, software engineers shouldn’t try to reduce themselves to code monkeys. You’re problem solvers, you’re engineers.

- Comment on Europe’s GDPR privacy law is headed for red tape bonfire within ‘weeks’ 3 months ago:
Ban privacy invasive business practices instead of putting the burden on citizens to opt in/opt out. This is about rights of a European citizen not to be constantly under surveillance, not about consumers rights to sign a contract signing away our rights

- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 4 months ago:
None of that affects the average user. I’m talking about the experience as a browser. No ads, popups, cookie walls, newsletter signup, none of that. Much better than I’ve seen with Firefox plugins. I don’t use their VPN or crypto, it doesn’t affect me at all. Crypto is always shady but it’s a choice to engage with that, and they do make it easy to avoid completely
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 4 months ago:
Haha, that’s quite alright. I knew I wasn’t going to win a popularity contest here, I just enjoy Brave for what it does and I wish uBlock Origin was just as good
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 4 months ago:
That doesn’t make it a bad product. I’ve never interacted with any of the crypto or donation stuff. You go into settings, click “no thanks” and are never bothered by any of that ever again. So no, these stories people repeat ad nauseam don’t take away anything from the product. Why don’t other people demand better from the alternatives? If there is one better than Brave at fighting popups and stuff, I’m all for it
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 4 months ago:
I don’t know what that has to do with my question? I am not defending anything like that
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 4 months ago:
Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?
