It is kind of embarrassing that I read all of this and the only thing I have to say about it is “I agree completely”. My own self from back in university days or even high school would be shocked. I guess churning through your thoughts and being able to express them effectively really is a skill you can lose over time.

Sounds like I2P without the privacy.

Copilot business subscriptions have fairly granular usage tracking, so they’d probably just replace you right away with someone who isn’t quite so reserved. Looking at the comments here and in other places, there is certainly no shortage of such people.

Job Requirements:
Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption
Nice to have:
Passion for games and game preservation
AI Mandatory, game preservation optional. Glad they got their priorities straight 😅

Don’t most Linux distributions not enable full disk encryption by default? How would that have improved the situation in this case?

AT&T is the one with the device-specific whitelist. Verizon doesn’t have a specific model white/blacklist but it does have lower compatibility because of the bands they support.

- Comment on DuckDuckGo Launches Public Vote on AI and User Choice 2 weeks ago:
I guess it’s some sort of sick performance art by showing that even though the >90% voted no AI, DDG will still have AI turned on by default in its main site and corral the >90% into the hidden away subdomain.

I don’t use macbooks very often because I don’t own one, but whenever I do I can’t believe that the trackpad doesn’t actually move. Whatever combination of pressure sensitivity and haptics they have crammed in there is nothing short of amazing.

すこれ is pronounced su-ko-re, すこあ or スコア (su-ko-a) would probably be closer to what you want if you want the word “score”.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 5 weeks ago:
It’s GOG financially viable? Good question, no one really knows.
All CDPR earnings reports put GOG revenue/profits in its own separate section, so it’s actually very knowable: It hasn’t been losing money in the last few years but its profits basically negligible compared to the rest of CDPR studio’s profits.

They removed the explicit Good Old Games abbreviation back in 2012. It’s just GOG.com now.

So insane that people have to go back to the primitive workflows of… 2021 🤣

Yes, like we went over before, it’s literally OK to use AI if the studios that I support use it to generate things that I like.

His grammarly.ai subscription must have ran out.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 month ago:
What AI does here is allowing small teams to get art done what otherwise would eat up their budget, aka they literally couldn’t afford. No artists were harmed in these cases because if AI didn’t exist they simply wouldn’t have been hired.
That excuse can be used by big publishers as well, no?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 month ago:
Right, so the barrier was that they had to pay for this “outsourced bulk art”, and now with AI they don’t have to. It looks like we are in agreement when I say “I’m glad AI is democratizing the ability for the little guys like you and me to not pay artists for art”?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 month ago:
And little tools like that give studios like this an edge over AAAs. It’s the start of negating their massive manpower advantage.
The implication here is that you can gain manpower without hiring more men, no?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 month ago:
100% agree. I’m glad AI is democratizing the ability for the little guys like you and me to not pay artists for art.

We already have tools to rank titles and if it is AI slop, a low effort copycat game, the ratings will reflect this regardless of the tech that may or may not have been used.
It is not enough for me. I want to know if AI was involved so that I can avoid it even if it is good.
- Comment on LLMDeathCount.com 2 months ago:
I’ll try to exercise my “assume good faith” muscle here because I think the above poster is at least genuine about what they are posting: I believe this poster wishes that the people who oppose the proliferation of AI at the cost of human connection would “put their money where their mouth is” by reaching out to the people that this poster feels are unfairly ignored.
