Oh absolutely it’ll take time. Decades is probably about right. But we can hope.
- Comment on Australia and EU on verge of striking free trade deal long stalled by beef, parmesan and prosecco 1 week ago:
Depends on the future. Our traditional allies are turning into fascists, our comparative small size means we’re not capable of going it alone.
I personally would like ties to EU nations all things considered.

Crazy how he manipulated people into fucking kids like that.

If it helps, chaos theory still slaps really hard. Highly recommend a replay if it’s been a while.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 3 weeks ago:
Every time someone uses lumen the frame rate drops by roughly 2/3rds, it’s nuts.
- Comment on Sony Patents Buttonless Adaptive Controller With Customizable Layouts 4 weeks ago:
Yeah nah, steam controllers were doing similar shit for dpads a decade ago. Even with indentations, it just wasn’t enough to actually feel where you were on the controller.
- Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained 4 weeks ago:
Oh actually are they? I admit I assumed they were doing the standard bullshit of everything is free to get you integrated, then they start charging. Actually maybe that already happened and this is the result of that.
- Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained 4 weeks ago:
How would that even work as well? The ads will be in the website, doesn’t most stuff run through API calls? If you force everyone to start paying per call, the business model falls apart instantly.

Make it less shit dumbass

Hey so question, how come we have to push so hard for a child porn machine to be called a child porn machine?

- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. People keep going on and on about how democrats would never get away with this shit, it’s because that’s the role they play. They tall poppy the actual good people out of the system, and present themselves as the good option when the only other choice is a rampaging fascism.
Like, I get the frustration, but at this point if feels too in the nose to miss anymore. Like people are getting gunned down randomly in the streets, it’s not that complicated.

You are speaking my language
- Comment on Choosing to live fucking sucks sometimes 1 month ago:
I feel that, in theory I’m mostly the same, but it’s the traumatic events that really deliver the haymaker and get under my defences unfortunately. Things slowly taking away my ability to function won’t kill me, but they do make the big events more powerful over me.

- Comment on One of the most detrimental things to a productive society is when people think their actions don't make a difference 1 month ago:
That’s kind of how I feel lately. I’ve always tried to act well, be kind, etc, but sometimes all I feel like is I’ve exhausted myself for no reason. Society is too big to see the consequences of your actions I think.
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 1 month ago:
Yep, that was exactly the reason.
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 1 month ago:
There’s a problem in movies that I keep thinking about in relation to this.
Movies often use music from other movies in early cuts to get something rough together. They time the scenes around the music, they work with it for ages, and finally it’s time to make an original track to replace the rough copy.
But they have to use something that’s the same tempo, because of how the scenes were timed around the old music. And it has to fit in the same vibe, because that’s what the old music felt like.
So you end up with a piece of music that’s usually pretty close to what they made, and a lot of Hollywood osts sound almost identical. When I see people talk about using gen ai for placeholders and concept art, I see that same problem turning up.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 1 month ago:
God that sounds nice actually, I miss it terribly

- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 1 month ago:
Oh absolutely, the strategy has always been to secure the market, make it difficult to leave the service, and jack up the profit. The only thing we can do is recognise it happening and work to make alternatives available, work on our own skillsets instead of relying on their tools.
Which is a shame, but the mask is off as of late, and we can’t do much about that.
