  Things do happen in your life, nobody lives in a vacuum. You are alive and are experiencing things every day including the stuff that’s happening to all of us. Recent economic news, political drama, geopolitical events, etc are all fair game

  I used to think nothing happened in my life then I started to keep a diary/journal and realized that a ton happens all the time!

  Unit tests and good architecture are still foundational requirements, so far no bug reports with any of these updates. In fact a huge chunk of these ai updates were addressing bugs. Not sure why you’re so mad at what you imagine is happening and making so many broad assumptions!

  They’re all pretty fired up at the update velocity tbh 🤷

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, generative ai is pretty remarkably useful for software development. I’ve written dozens of product updates with tools like claudecode and cursorai, dismissing it as a novelty is reductive and straight up incorrect

  Logic and love don’t really mix well, life is a bit fuller when you embrace love and let yourself feel vulnerable even if you know it will end in tragedy

  Honestly, that’s fine. This may be a wild take, but they grew and their usage of excel obviously didn’t hold them back, what’s the issue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s probably one of the most common use cases for the Steam deck, I’ve played a ton of emulated games and had a great time. Its far from perfect, especially for newer consoles, but pretty much anything GameCube and below is at least runnable

  Archive.org is the best source of safe roms, who knows how long that will last though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you express romantic interest in someone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always assumed this is something that comes naturally, when I’m into someone I take a deep interest in then, ask then questions about their passion, follow up and remember when they tell me things, try to spend time together either in a group or solo, look at them, talk to them eventually about my interest.

  There’s no formula and it isn’t some mystical ritual or anything, just treat them well, smile at them, look at them, touch them appropriately and with consent, be engaged and interested in who they are. Don’t fall into the trap of feeling like all members of the opposite sex are a unified being, every person is different and the opposite sex is made up of people just like you, maybe with different bits if you subscribe to that type of gender identity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Life has no point, you’re just energy given form (literally, not metaphorically or superstitiously or some shit, mass and energy are the same thing)

  Hedonism is easy to fall into, and arguably fine, if you don’t find life worth living but can’t muster the enthusiasm to end it, you should try to change your environment.

  For me, life is worth living for stories, I love books and the experience of being something different for a time. I have built my life around lazy evenings on the sofa with my cat on my lap reading a book, or playing a comfortable game, nothing else matters to me at all. It’s easy to be content if your requirements are minimal.

  Life is an odd phenomenon, we’re blessed or cursed with consciousness, may as well do something you enjoy. If you don’t know what you enjoy then try more stuff.

  I wonder if we’ll start seeing labels like that on a lot of media, books, voice overs, movies, tv shows, youtubers, etc

  It could be worth making some sort of certification, certified AI free like free range eggs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming you already own a home, and the stock market stonks upward forever, yeah. Otherwise you’re renting and in 30 years when rent is 15k/month you’re outta luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A million dollars doesn’t really change your life much, the biggest difference is probably owning a home or having more money invested, but you’re still going to have to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who here does NOT have intrusive thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty rare for me to think of things I’m not keen on thinking about, redirection is the key. Treat your brain like a toddler trying to touch the stove, saying no doesn’t work, you have to give both something interesting to distract them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Default instances would go a long way, I know there’s a lot of hate for lemmy.world but defaulting to the biggest instance or a random one in the top 10 would help ease some of the early friction. Users can choose an instance later when they get more comfortable with the platform.

  Federation is neat but the average person just wants to scroll and chat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would let a chip be installed in my brain if it would allow me to erase memories of the games I have played to play them again as the first time.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want to be in a post capitalism society with incredible AI that I could ask to continue a game I’d played before with a twist.

  Give me pokemon red in 3d, but make more puzzles and more pokemon and the npcs more interactive. That kinda thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Kodak came back with a Camera tomorrow, what would you be awaiting from a company like them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If the question is how do you revive a company with a dead reputation and little sales like Kodak, but tailored to that case specifically:

  Kodak, and every other retail company, creates products that rely on not only their product, but also their brand. Companies with semi useless products sell them all the time

  K-cups, somehow took an infinitely reusable thing like a coffee maker and turned it into a tiny plastic trash cup Dasani water is awful tasting, terrible for the environment, and expensive, but they go where they’re needed

  And a million other examples, selling a product isn’t about being the best or even having something good. It’s really a matter of branding and marketing strategy.

  Rebrand kodak to a bespoke camera with a bunch of little camera accessories, a small preview screen but a bunch of little knobs, lean into the fact that it’s not a smart phone. Print on the device like those urban outfitter cameras, make a snapchat style camera that will only keep photos for a day, do something different and target a specific audience and they could be revived as something different. Work on making a camera that can’t be reproduced by ai, human authenticity fingerprints for images or something.

  Kodak as it was will very likely never make a comeback. They didn’t keep up.

  Some of them perhaps, but the home is understated if anything, especially with interest rates in the 7% range. They’re also not accounting for taxes, utilities, repairs, and insurance
