im not sure it exists. the constitution was being violated as a matter of executive policy.
- Comment on Mathieu Comandon Explains His Use of AI in Lutris Development (my interview!) 2 weeks ago:
I thought the issue was he was no longer going to identify ai code more than it being used.
- Comment on Lentils; Which, why in what? 2 weeks ago:
I like the hucked ones dissolved in stuff so red and orange. That being said any type is not bad to add to a dish but I love mixing stuff and the more it mixes the better for me.

- Comment on What's the deal with people liking old devices? 2 weeks ago:
yeah thats pretty old. honestly though i can get by with 16gig of ram and 720pm and ssd with any processor that would be on something that had that. Its only recently that I kinda want 32gig and maybe a bit more resolution.
- Comment on [Jason Schreier] AAA game budgets estimated around $300 million. These budgets are almost entirely dev salaries + overheard and have nothing to do with executive compensation (which is mostly stock) 2 weeks ago:
I mean he did after a few years but in order to have the time to make it a go he needed to devote all his energies to it. Do it full time. This was way back when books and publishers was more a typical thing. I assume its even harder today.

saw this on the local news.
- Comment on Using a VPN May Subject You to NSA Spying 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it was pretty big. So much of modern times it just boggles my mind for anyone who grew up in the 80’s. We are literally how we portrayed russia or what we would become like if we let communism win. A whistle blower had to flee to russia. 100% bin laden won. Half my life has been in this millenium and there is a stark difference before and after (even with there being plenty which headed us in this direction).

Did they stop spying on americans. Im pretty sure snowden is still living in russia.
- Comment on 80s and 90s commercials... they just hit different, don't they? 2 weeks ago:
yeah. I predict it will be like the only thing you hear on the radio. People will be singing along like: “Good things from the garden… garden in the valley… valley of the Jolly Green Giant.”

kinda reminds me of piers anthony advice to writers when they asked what is most needed to become a success. He said a partner who works.

i think commercial jingles could be the next big music fad!

- Comment on 'Something really shifted': Inside the software company that laid off 40pc of its staff 2 weeks ago:
nah it means blame something besides the company is doing poorly.
- Comment on What's the deal with people liking old devices? 2 weeks ago:
I can’t think of a new thing since covid that seems any better than the stuff before. Im really not sure if your talking less than a decade old or 30 year old tech honestly.
- Comment on 'Something really shifted': Inside the software company that laid off 40pc of its staff 2 weeks ago:
So if you say you are laying off employees as necessary for cost cutting. One of the problem with fake jobs is companies that are seeking employees are seen as healthy and growing so it looks better for them to be seeking them. Cutting looks bad. Right now though we have this gift to corps. Its a horrible global economy but if you say you are laying off because you can make it all up and more with ai then your stock won’t just not fall but actually rise and you will be looked at as next gen smartz super good company. If its not clear I think many layoffs now is kinda being blamed on ai when that is not what its about at all.
- Comment on If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices? 2 weeks ago:
sorta but the idea is the market would be more like 5% but maybe 10 depending on the interest rate. Essentially enough that it does not go under but actual profit should be about the same as a certificate of deposit from a bank.

I mean I don’t even see where the government fits into the account outside of local cops.
- Comment on The artificial gravity generators never seem to get destroyed in space battles. 3 weeks ago:
I find not many things are destroyed unless integral to the plot but there are times where it does because the story wanted it to. I think its more incommon with video games though as it makes a nice alternate gameplay thing to have in.

I often though about if for some reason I had a lot of money if I should try to make common things and sell at low margins over a charity setup. Like target 1% above inflation for the companies profit when targetting the price of the items.
- Comment on Gary is part of the super-rich. He believes wealthy Australians should be paying more tax 3 weeks ago:
gates and buffet have said this and they both held the richest man slot at one point. So has sorros and bloomberg (at one time and not that long ago), and even one of the disney heirs.
- Comment on What happens if an instance gets down? 3 weeks ago:
I think it depends on the backups. Im not sure how much is missed because I see very little gathering of info in communities. Like the reddit sto forums main value was in the sidebar and faq which listed all sorts of links to resources and faqs. If you wiped the whole thing but had those backed up it would allow anyone to quickly get into the game and the community could converse and answer questions not in the faw or resources that maybe would get integrated if it was important enough. Most communities I come across here you look at the sidebar and it does not even explain what the community is about. This one does but its not to common. So if the person or persons who mind this one have a backup of the sidebar then its good to get it going on a new instance if needed.
- Comment on The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it 3 weeks ago:
we need to collect taxes and if cuts need to be made it should start with the military and not go to other things till its disbanded. social safety nets should get cut last.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 3 weeks ago:
I use stock android but hate smartphones and only own it because of a previous job that required one but gave a monthly comp so you had to get one. I keep minimal apps on it. have it shutoff most times. I use it for phone calls and camera mostly with maybe maps and calendar. I have f-droid to avoid google apps but the stock camera works better than my alternate app so I use that for photos more.
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 3 weeks ago:
US schools do not always have cafeterias and many students don’t use them. They cost money and bringing a lunch is cheaper. I know there are movies/tv with kids bringing their lunch and trading items as well as buying things from the cafeteria. Sometimes its setup were the parents paid for them to get a meal every day with a kind of pass or another style where its kinda billed to an account. So im guessing you have seen media that made you think kids always use a cafeteria but man you someone avoided the ones showing kids bringing lunch. Anyway some kids use when there is one and some don’t.
