Where’s my love interest? Why is everything setup to be so shitty in terms of geopolitics and the economy and such? And finally, the viewers better be laughing at my jokes at least.

I very much appreciate the advice. Definitely do dread going in, I’m constantly bounced between bored out of my mind and insane sprints, partially because I’m competent and the way things are organized there’s no one really strongly pushing back against short deadlines on my team, but it’s also partially because we don’t get a choice often either due to data migrations or what not. I fear my motivation and talent will be crushed if I stay here too long. Unfortunately I also lack the perspective of a different job/environment to know what to appreciate about where I’m at.

I hope so too, I guess we’ll see. Maybe I should get a new job.

I long for retirement (I’ve just started my career)

I personally really hate web apps and would rather have native apps for everything. Even some apps that feel off UI wise I find annoying but better than website. And yes I’m an Apple/Gnome user so I guess that makes sense…

How do you see downvotes? Is it a feature of your app?

Edit nvm I guess I never even checked to see if that was an option lmao

Ah thanks, so this is essentially another step in having the full chain open source, that’s pretty cool.

Open source firmware seems good from a security perspective, motherboard manufacturers seem to really suck balls. Could someone more knowledgeable about core boot explain it a bit to me if they’re willing? I don’t know too much about it besides I think I remember hearing framework uses it?

The humans are making those decisions whether you use AI or not. There’s lots of bias in training any form of model, and many people doing the training dont likely prioritize. Yes there is actual training bias like leakage and sample distribution issues that everyone knows, but the implicit biases are far more insidious. Look at all the facial recognition software or the countless prison ml/ai applications that are ridiculously biased to minorities. AI is no better and arguably worse. Are you going to ask the AI how it got to its answer? Because it can’t tell you about its little weights.

If the os goes the way of windows and android I will suck up it up and switch my laptop and phone to Linux and graphene. It’s nice having one of my computers be able to access proprietary software I might use but I refuse to be socially engineered into buying things in my core device usage.

Yeah stiff competition for sure. It’s unfortunate that it feels like big scale games of that quality are so few and far in between and much of the AAA size games end up being garbage. I’m somewhat hopeful for Witcher 4 despite being burned by cyberpunk, but we shall see. And divinity will be exciting whenever that releases im sure.

It was definitely worth of goty for me, but I still think bg3 is my favorite game personally, I’m a huge sucker for crpgs, because I play a lot of tabletop. I do agree with the art style gripe. I feel like there are prettier games out there, E33 felt idk how to describe its look, jank? I still think something like Witcher 3 next gen or cyberpunk 2077 or Alan wake 2 look way better.

I have said Fuhbee for sure, never have I said Mefive though that one’s fucking hilarious

What I wanna know is, how tf?

I would accept this if squeal didn’t exist. Silver Star for squirrel

Now that’s a new one for me

That’s because the young people are dumb as shit unfortunately (I’m a young person). Internet has destroyed our brains and the ability to have social interaction, much easier to develop an apathy for politics. My friend group is pretty leftist so naturally I was somewhat surprised to see the apathy of people my age when I moved to a place with more people even in a pretty liberal city. Heck even those who say they are “liberal” have some baffling takes. One girl said to me “well I can afford the cost of inflation right now so why do I care what’s happening with increasing prices” and I was just dumbfounded at the shortsightedness and also lack of caring for others who can’t.

As a side anecdote it’s pretty depressing how going to a grocery store line in the city no less there’s just giant lines of people waiting for self checkout because people don’t wanna talk to cashiers lol despite those lines being way shorter. I think it’s part of the overall culture that leads to this “eh fuck it imma head out” stuff. I don’t even think it’s majority the “let’s spite the dems” crew.

I worry about sound quality and everyone hearing what I’m listening to with these but I’ll take a look at them. Maybe they’ve gotten better since last I looked

Yeah I mean I carry a pick around everywhere anyway it’s just a bit inconvenient. Do you know of any headphones that sound good and either A have good ANC/pass through or B are actually IP rated? I have momentum 4s because of sound vs other wireless, I’ve heard Sony has good passive audio but also kinda suck as gym headphones potentially. My momentum 4s have no breathability so my ears get sweaty, my earwax heats up and the headphones are getting destroyed from a few workouts before I gave up and went back to earbuds for now.
