- Comment on Microsoft starts testing Copilot Vision update that can “see” your screen and apps 2 weeks ago:
It’s called recall or something. If you are trying to find something you saw before but can’t remember, it remembers for you.
Copilot, what was the video on Pornhub I saw a few months ago, with the brunette who looks like Jessica from accounting? And she had like 4 guys in her at once and was eating spaghetti?

I would say I care more about other causes, and also it’s not like I was somehow an Azure customer anyways. You gotta pick like 2 or 3 causes to spend your energy on or you’ll just be in a bad mood all the time

I use it as a form of google, basically. I ask it coding questions a lot, some of which are a bit more philosophical. I never allow it to write code for me, though. Sometimes I’ll have it check my work

I’m not giving up, I’m just going to focus on the issues that are personally important to me

I could probably find a thousand things you spend your money on that hurt people in some way, but I’m not going to hold you to that insane standard because I don’t believe in ideological purity tests

I liked the first one, but I agree the 2nd is much better arranged

Call it caring fatigue. There are causes that I care about and that I spend my time and energy on. But over the course of 2020-2025, every little thing-of-the-week issue that popped up demanded that I stop buying socks at target, or burritos at chipotle, canned beans or pens or video games or cloud services or t-shirts or shoes or plastic cups or what have you. I just don’t have it in me to pretend to care about everything that everybody else cares about all the time. I’m picking my 2-3 things and sticking with them

Straight up though the world peaked in the 2007-2010 in terms of culture. Everything has just gotten significantly worse since then and I feel bad for the zoomers and gen alpha who have to grow up in the 2020s
- Comment on Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake New Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Serious question: What makes Dragon Quest special? I’ve played turn based RPGs from that era and there never really seems to be any distinguishing characteristics between them

- Comment on I'm an American software developer and the "broligarchs" don't speak for me - ratfactor 5 weeks ago:
I’m also a software engineer and I can’t stand most other people in this field. I got into this field because I love computers and was tweaking garry’s mod scripts when I was 12. I read scifi books and enjoy reading about the lore of the tech industry.
I would estimate that AT LEAST 75% of people in this industry are ladder climbing yuppies who got into it for the money. The gym rat, tesla-driving podcaster types who have invented their own language about syncing up, achieving alignment, creating action items and eating dog food.
I do not socialize with my coworkers because they are the most obnoxious fucking money-obsessed pieces of shit I’ve ever met

- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
The incentive to build new housing is to then turn around and sell that housing, they don’t need an incentive, they need permission.
- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
No, it’s because of a lack of new supply. Most houses are owned by the people who live in them, not land lords
- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
The only reason rent would decrease in response to economic conditions would be if they started building tons and tons of houses and supply began to outpace demand. OR, your country were experiencing deflation, which is bad
- Comment on Council housing when? 1 month ago:
You’re wrong, building more housing is THE solution. The vast majority of homes are owned by people who live in them, not landlords. Building more housing is literally the ONLY solution.
