He’s head writer, yep. It’s gold stuff. I rate it up there alongside his Cunk series.
I’m one of the weird folks who thinks his comedy is better than his sci-fi drama Black Mirror.
- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 4 hours ago:
Doesn’t that have more to do with Gamepass eating game studios’ lunch though? And a lot less with AI? Just regular ol’ dumbass management decisions.

It’s from a very short show, total of five episodes for three seasons called A Touch Of Cloth.
- Comment on Romero Games reportedly met with Microsoft just a day before the publisher pulled funding for the studio, and there was 'no mention' of the decision that put over 100 people out of work 11 hours ago:
Microsoft probably were thinking “He’s just making another Daikatana, anyway.”
- Comment on "This Is The ONLY Home Server You Should Buy" Or, why older computers may be better for the environment | Hardware Haven 16 hours ago:
No, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap.
What are you using graphics on a server for instead of just CLI?

You just can’t buy too old or the inverse happens and the performance per watt drops. I think you’re right that 2012 is about the cutoff. Maybe 2007 for certain items, like my 2007 iMac. But if you’re getting back to the Pentium 4 era you’ve gone too far and need to turn back around.

lest the shareholders kick you out
Aww boo hoo how hard it must be to get kicked out with… *checks notes… A golden parachute.
(To be clear I am not chiding you, I can read your sarcasm here, I know we agree on this, just adding to the absurdity)
- Comment on College grad unemployment surges as employers replace new hires with AI 1 day ago:
Economists say businesses are now replacing entry-level jobs with artificial intelligence.
Oh good so there’s literally no way to climb the corporate ladder, now. I wonder how they think senior-level jobs will ever be able to be filled when the old ones age out and they’ve never had anyone entry-level to train up to a senior position? Or are they really so stupid as to think that the AI will eventually replace senior roles too? Or maybe it’s not that they’re stupid but they need it to happen so badly whether the AI is worth a shit or not that they’ll throw everything they can at it to try to make their wet-dream of unquestioning digital slaves happen?

Exactly, I doubt the person or persons who developed ICEBlock are getting tons of income from the project compared how much it costs to host and run the project, but the project is immediately creating a positive impact in society.

and as far as I’m aware, I would probably be unable to buy a PC or console ever again.
I don’t have any suggestions but I am so, so sorry and I really hope things turn around for you for the better.
- Comment on Looking for work? Need a job with good pay and benefits? Have any sense of ethics? ICE is hiring and has low standards. Sign up for ICE and be the most incompetent agent in history. 3 days ago:
The problem with some of these is that once you would end just being extra-judicially targeted yourself.
You don’t want to end up like Gomer Pyle getting beaten with socks full of soap. Your coworkers will know your name and have tools to find out more info on you. Don’t turn yourself into a massive target unless you’re comfortable with that.

But you can’t self-host it??? Blaspheme!
Just kidding, nice to know there’s something out there.
There’s also Duolicious but there was literally no one within a hundred miles of me and most of the people using it were about half my age so it felt fruitless to pursue.

Plentyoffish mostly stinks but still has a free tier where you can message one person a day.
Also, on the page where you look at people who have viewed/liked you, the photos are blurred but if you use the Web Developer Inspection Tool:
Right click on one of the images of who you want to see and click “Inspect”:
From here, you can usually find them in your list of potential matches, in your “meet me” swipes, or in the recently online list. This way, if someone swipes right on you, you can find them without paying and can decide to match or message.
Cheers and good luck!

This is where we are at, not risk to US relations, a risk to relations with Emperor Trump.
