- Comment on US tech firm Palantir extends deal with French intelligence agency 1 day ago:
Doomsday cult Palantir? I guess there are no scruples anymore so long as the other guy has what you want, I personally would think twice about having dealings with a company where the founder is giving private lectures about the antichrist.

Why not, the big house of imaginary money should exist beyond time and space.
- Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not) 4 days ago:
It’s not even just the laws, it’s very expensive to move.
- Comment on Evidence That Humans Now Speak in a Chatbot-Influenced Dialect Is Getting Stronger 1 week ago:
Undoubtedly, but cheery sycophant isn’t really my bag. I would suppose the people most affected would be the ones chatting with bots daily and not those reading articles. Regardless, I already behave like a bot because of my AuADHD I don’t think I need to start speaking like one lol.

Fucking try me, I’ve done it my whole life so far. I really don’t care what you find odd about me.

It said humans as in everyone, just giving my anecdotal evidence. No I’m not speaking for everyone. What a sad statistic by the way.
- Comment on Pebble maker announces Index 01, a smart-ish ring for under $100 1 week ago:
I’m practical I suppose. I have a tool that does this already cheaply, why do I need a product likely made by slaves in a sweat shop, with materials people are going to wars over, that will end up in a landfill because it broke or is deprecated in less than a few years?

OR I can use a pencil and paper for pennies.

Doubtful since I’ve yet to use one, but whatever.

Daniel Day-Lewis overacted enough in that movie that it evened out.

I only just watched them this year, they are actually quite good and more geared towards adults.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 week ago:
I suppose it was around then yeah, I just remember being amazed at how fast the whole site turned on her, then I realized how easy it must be to astroturf reddit. It was under the guise of free speech, but the changes she made/were making were positive for the health of the site. The whole idea that free speech = I can say whatever the hell I want to at any time and you just have to accept it was/is bullshit, we live in a society dammit. /george

Right I remember how Reddit ran Ellen Pao off as if she was the wicked witch of the west.

Sounds great in theory, but I feel like the minute one of those places becomes a viable alternative it will be sold for a pile of cash.
- Comment on Even millionaires don't feel wealthy these days 2 weeks ago:
I guess everyone else is just royally fucked then? This is bonkers, a million dollars is still a fucking lot of money. If you’re spending 3/4 of it on a house and 1/10 on a car then maybe not so much yeah.
- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I gotcha, I suppose there’s two types of people in those situations: those who will put down the games and see them as a distraction or waste of time in the face of all the other things they have to do and all the serious/bad things going on in the world, or those who dive full on in and escape the world through gaming. Another perspective, games used to be light and fun, hella challenging, but still fun, you could pick them up and put them down. Nowadays if you stop playing a game for a week or two you almost have to start over, at least that’s how it is for me with my sieve brain. I’m also in the US.
- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 4 weeks ago:
I’d definitely agree with that, I was a much bigger gamer when I was a kid/teen/YA, the only real franchises were Pac Man, Mario and Donkey Kong, so the field was wide open with all sorts of new and innovative games, the sorts of games that are still coming out but just harder to find. I feel like there’s a lot of people just looking a the AAA titles being announced in the presses and then just being underwhelmed when there’s a lot more going on, but as you said there’s a lot more to life as an adult so that can be too much time. On the upside, a lot of those indie games are much shorter so you can find time to play them.
- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 4 weeks ago:
There is just so much choice it’s insane, every day there’s dozens of new games out. There’s some real gems in the indie game space, I feel like gaming is kinda following how music went now. All the major labels are putting out crap, you have to look at the indie labels for good stuff.

“Graphics are good enough now that literally anything in your imagination can be brought to life”
“Ok, lets make everything look as close to reality as possible :D”That reminds me, I saw some Pac Man collection the other day, the old 2600/7800/arcade games, it was a few games and some history stuff, it was 17 GIGABYTES, FOR PACMAN.

Maybe you could try putting some more money into great writers and storytellers instead of GRAPHICS GRAPHICS GRAPHICS, but no.

Still can’t believe we lost Al Franken meanwhile shit like this was going on. Are you fucking kidding.

Inifnite potential? Like NFTs? Subscriptions? I suppose… I’m beyond not interested in buying digital things I don’t even have the rights to, but I seem to be in the minority.

Sure, but it will have to change eventually, we can’t keep pumping out more and more throwaway shit year after year, there will be a critical mass, or maybe we just die buried in our own garbage.

Sure sure, there’s already an animated show on Fox (regular network, not news) called Universal Basic Guys making fun of the idea when it’s not even being seriously considered yet. Here’s maybe a news flash for some rich folks: MOST people don’t mind working as long as they are PROPERLY COMPENSATED.
