  Many years ago, before we automated our deployment, we got our devs to do it manually. The guy that wrote the instructions in bold red letters at the top, put something like “log in as X” and no one would follow. He asked me what to do, I said, “put it as step 1 instead of bold letters at the top”. Never had anyone mess up afterwards. Thank God we automated it though.

  Our brains work in weird ways.

  I remember a story where he put millions into a mansion over several years and when it was done he wanted to change it.

  I’m sure he’s made bank over the years but also sure he’s blown a lot of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finished SMW: The Crown Tale⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m almost sure it is. I have the Retro Flip 2 and now I got the SNES colours too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the analogy is a bit crude but quite bang on.

  I think it’s a good skill too and I have been clinically diagnosed with anxiety.

  So many possibilities just flushed down the toilet…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This meme goes way back⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe he looked at her eyes while she was walking towards him and as he was being slowly entombed in stone, he decided to use his last bit of life to check out dat azz.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Techno feudalism, here we come⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You guys are thinking this from a selfish perspective. You have to look at it from your employer. If they don’t do it. Other company’s will. Then they’ll feel left out. Have you been to a yacht party where you’re the only one that hasn’t fired your employees? Goddamned miserable. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm genuinely sad about the Marathon situation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno, I heard about the history of Bungie and what Pete Parsons did to the company. There should be no surprise. He destroyed it and Marathon is just another indicator it seems.

  I feel bad for the artist and hope they get more than just “exposure” after this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to move back to those a few times instead of using WSL during the early days. There were quite a few growing pains.

  Fixed it fully by installing Linux.

  Anyone else hate this lazy response to anything gaming related?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gig Companies Violate Workers’ Rights: Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Favor, Instacart, Lyft, Shipt, and Uber claim to offer workers flexibility but end up paying them less than state or local minimum wages.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever these things come up you always hear “then the company won’t survive!”

  CEO and managers make bank somehow but it doesn’t matter that the workers can’t live on that wage. It’s always so weird how when workers actually take a pay cut, that the businesses get used to it. When the CEOs get bonuses they have to get used to that too.

  They don’t it’s a “Black Mirror”.

  it seems I’ve bought it too. Not gonna lie, after reading the description… I have no idea what I’m getting into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will buy indie games at full price, thank you very much.

  online human friends still can’t compete with seeing them in person … wtf a chatbot gonna do to fix this?

  Not saying we shouldn’t talk to friends online and stuff it’s just that real humans are having difficulties filling these gaps.

  Also, why the fuck would I want a friend like that’ll snitch me out and be used to sell me shit? I swear, he wants us hooked on these things and be like, “Subscribe now or your friends will be shut off forever!”

  Same, it counts my steps and it measures my runs/swims. It’s a Garmin. I don’t really have it configured for notifications or anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Obama called out Fox News before, I remember something like all the other news organizations backed Fox News. They claimed an attack on any one of them was an attack of all of them or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DeepSeek and chip bans have supercharged AI innovation in China.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For coding, I treat it as an overly enthusiastic junior-mid.

  It’s also great because I’m learning terraform and I just don’t want to look up the syntax. I just tell it to add something and it’ll do the lookup for me.

  It gets it wrong sometimes which is where I need to do the lookup but it definitely has its uses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There was article written by their former marketing director or something stating that the CPU, GPU and stuff are still sourced from China, and other places as well. They hide it from you. So like it’s an eye-watering price for old specs and doesn’t really deliver what it says it does.

  I loved the video. It’s very obviously taking the piss but I think this has been a sore spot to many Lemmy users that the humour isn’t gonna hit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart Should Cost More - YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s got a little something for everyone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is the real crime here …

  Embarassing rich people or losing profits. Their lives are what really matter, wouldn’t want them to be inconvenienced in any way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obama wasn't a hero; he just wasn't terrible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what you guys expect out of your politicians. They’re not supposed to be heroes.

  Also, the fact that these come up now and are bringing up how unimpressive the Dems are are strange to me when mango Mussolini are causing havoc.

  Were people deifying Obama like Trump? It seemed like most people were upset with him most of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A complete random story but, I’m on the AI team at my company. However, I do infrastructure/application rather than the AI stuff. First off, I had to convince my company to move our data scientist to this team. They had him doing DevOps work (complete mismanagement of resources). Also, the work I was doing was SO unsatisfying with AI. We weren’t tweaking any models. We were just shoving shit to ChatGPT. Now it was be interesting if you’re doing RAG stuff maybe or other things. However, I was “crafting” my prompt and I could not give a shit less about writing a perfect prompt. I’m typically used to coding what I want but I had to find out how to write it properly: “please don’t format it like X”. Like I wasn’t using AI to write code, it was a service endpoint.

  During lunch with the AI team, they keep saying things like “we only have 10 years left at most”. I was like, “but if you have AI spit out this code, if something goes wrong … don’t you need us to look into it?” they were like, “yeah but what if it can tell you exactly what the code is doing”. I’m like, “but who’s going to understand what it’s saying …?” “no, it can explain the type of problem to anyone”.

  I said, I feel like I’m talking to a libertarian right now. Every response seems to be some solution that doesn’t exist.
