Wait, are CSC Service Works paying for the electric, laundry detergent, etc… or is this just a convoluted way of leasing the use of a washing machine?

Surprised she didn’t freak out with the line below. It’s already gone on a killing spree…

That suggests his recent actions haven’t been delusional?

Like most of my work’s processes… Shit goes in, shit comes out…

Using a password manager would avoid this. Everyone should ideally use unique passwords per service, that way a single account can’t compromise the others.

The loss of personal data however is fricking annoying. If a company has no legitimate reason, I avoid signing up to them.

Looking at you Nvidia, Razar, etc…

There’s only so many 3-word slogans for “I’m a douchbag”

“When a mummy & daddy love each other very much…”

Whilst I agree in the spirit of the petition, the wording isn’t great.

Server infrastructure has significant opex costs to run & maintain - it’s impractical to demand publishers to keep them alive, especially if the running cost far exceeds the player demand & potential revenues. What happens if that publisher goes bust? What happens if a significant security vulnerability is found?

Might be better to have legislation for software publishers (not just games) to both plan & implement a sunsetting strategies when they intend to retire software.

Eg. If the online component was just performing license checks, make software publishers remove the DRM. If it’s to host a DLC store, release all DLC items for free & remove the store. If its for multi-player mechanics, release both the client & server software as limited open-source license so the community can maintain those assets going forward.

Why are the walls so bare?

The box was clearly designed for a larger egg. The fact they made the image the same size doesn’t neglect the fact that shrinkflation has occurred.

The only reason the box size hasn’t changed is to fool buyers on the potential size of the egg. If it was box was correctly sized, most people would have selected a different egg.

That’s assuming (a lot) about the 30 year old knowing more about “what women want” compared to their 16 year old self.

When I was a kid I always assumed there would be a point in life where I’d feel like an adult. You don’t, you just get ground into the mould with responsibilities & stress!

The only difference between me aged 30 & 16 is grey hairs & white knuckles. I know jack shit about “what women want”, other than “don’t be a dickhead”.

And a rate limit

That parody was awesome! If they turned it into a full movie I’d be the first to buy tickets to see it.

Wouldn’t the YouTube algorithm add an unintentionally bias into the training data?

A lot of YouTubers talk about how they’re having to adjust their content and style to maintain viewership numbers. Hence all the click bait thumbnails & captions.

Never really knew that until Hbomberguy highlighted it within ROBLOX_OOF.mp3

Execs don’t give a shit. They simply double down on the false cause fallacy instead. They wouldn’t ever admit they fucked up.

Last year the company I work for went through a run of redundancies, claiming AI and system improvements were the cause. Before this point we were growing (slowly) year on year. Just not growing fast enough for the shareholders.

They cut too deep, shit is falling apart, and we’re loosing bids to competitors. Now they’ve doubled down on AI, claiming blindness to the systems issues they created, and just made an employee’s “Can Do” attitude a performance goal.

You’ve clearly not worked in enterprise recently. Everything is about the Cloud, AI, and reducing Opex spending currently.

As someone whose had the priviledge working both in a call centre & retail for several years… you’re wrong.

Most is local colloquialisms, where regions sometimes substitute words or phrases for others.

And then there’s the “native English speakers” that are straight up idiots, and butchering the language constantly…

The amount of South Londoners that say “arced” instead of “asked” is too damn high.
