The last time I used skype, it was to monitor my 3d print because I needed to finish a project and my last attempt went all spaghetti.

So as I was at work I’d log into my computer from my phone, call myself with skype, and check to make sure everything was still okay.

Then I discovered octoprint.

Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There’s more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon…

But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I’ll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.

It’s the “STOP LIKING WHAT I DON’T LIKE” meme, come to life. And I’d rather let people have their fun. Doesn’t cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.

I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn’t know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.

They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.

Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”

A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.

So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”

They had an app store?

Depends on what I’m playing.

I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.

I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.

Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.

The problem is not the price.

The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.

“When you are of working age and you have no more days off this week”

FTFY

No need for pointless generational divides, we’re all exhausted from this hell life.

I would like that, the structure would not.

For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.

Saturday was really warm here, like “t-shirt and jeans weather” warm.

I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.

I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.

I decided “fuck this I’m going home and practicing archery.” so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees.

I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something. It doesn’t help that my current residence has no windows, so all light is artificial and to get any sun I have to actually go outside.

But the business analysts are the most profitable group, anywhere! If you don’t believe me just hire a business analyst to analyze things and they’ll prove it to you!

My family usually get an “okay I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you later” and that’s about it.

But by then they can tell I’ve had enough of people today and want to leave so they’re never surprised.

And if anyone wants to think I left because they arrived, so be it. I am not the shepherd of my family’s emotions.

I can’t just leave without saying anything though. Not unless they pissed me off.

I’ve got a pretty nice system.

1: PANIC

B- Go

You may notice there’s no conversation before the final step. This is because my anxiety doesn’t allow me much talking until I can decompress.

It’s worked so far.

“It was great seeing you again”

“but… You just got here five minutes ago”

“SO great…”

I had put so many hours into trying to sort my bases for NG that I didn’t even want to try and start over for NG+.

If I ever DO decide to pick it up again, assuming the save is still compatible I made a separate save file before finishing the game just to be sure.

Who knows, maybe someone will make mods to make it the game we all wanted it to be and I’ll give it another go.

Star field couple have been a lot of things if people who haven’t picked up a controller in decades hadn’t decided to try and make it as generic and casual as possible.

And maybe it’s just me, but the second I

, I lost all interest in playing the game itself.

They made the content of individual plays not matter to me, so once I did a few speed runs to the finish line I just deleted the game and haven’t played it since.

Also i could never figure out their base management system. I was hoping for something like “fallout 4 settlements in space” but all I got was “way less complicated Satisfactory”.

I stopped playing about a month after it came out, so there’s a chance they fixed some issues that I didn’t know were issues, but I still haven’t had the desire to try playing it again.

Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world…

Oh look, it’s that time of the decade again.

More half life 3 rumors.

Wake me when Gabe holds a copy in his hand to announce it to the world, to be released immediately.

A person can dream.

Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.
