Ditto for us in Australia

Concrete goals, and reasonable steps to achieve them.

I feel like lately we’ve hit a weird speculative investment period in tech, where we have a bunch of tech that’s created because it can be, but not because it’s needed. Do LLMs, crypto currency, or NFTs have actual uses? Very possibly, but nothing concrete enough to satisfy the bubble that formed from them.

We live in an age of unreality. Give us something achievable and genuine, we get excited. It doesn’t have to be complicated, just real. Hell, I’m excited as fuck over solid sodium batteries, and that’s boring as shit.

I don’t know if he’s had a rational thought in the past decade, if that.

I legit have never been more happy to be unemployed.

Jesus. I thought this was an onion article.

Oh, as in the loss of sales from the new games isn’t worth the potential gains later on by developing the platform? I can feel that.

Yeah, also been saying this for years. Loss leading into jack up the prices.

Admittedly I thought it would happen a bit later, usually I expect them to try to force out the competition, then go for the prices. Guess that’s not an option when steam is around.

It is, but by god don’t grind your face against bosses that are too hard. I was having a bad time when I did three major bosses in a row, now I’m fucking around and exploring it’s much more enjoyable.

I’m still running windows for now, but even then Vulkan has de-fucked a few games for me. Given the option, always Vulkan.

I don’t hate the technology, I hate that I cannot chose where and when to use it. Consent is quite important.

God I hope so, but the next thing will likely be even more stupid than this, NFTs and crypto.

I agree with this. We already have a situation where we don’t have feasible alternatives to the primary method, Google search comes to mind. With Linux, even if every company in the world goes down, nerds will still want to play with the technology.

Well can’t have all the wage slaves escaping to Mexico

The fuck you gotta do to recognise war crimes these days

Oh for sure, I was kind of meaning the whole concept of worth and how we’ve become this weird cult of potential worshipping tech priests, but yes also that.

God I’m fucking sick of this loss leading speculative investment bullshit. It’s hit some bizarre zenith that has infected everybody in the tech world, but nobody has any actual intention of being practical in the making of money, or the functionality of the product. I feel like we should just can the whole damned thing and start again.

God he’s nice to have around

Random story, in one mission while I was searching a database for a client, I fat fingered the name and it gave me back a different person’s record

IT WAS MY FULL REAL LIFE NAME

Spooked the shit out of me.

Honestly with how that company is going you might be better off getting a cheap rig and installing your favourite flavour of Linux. I’m still salty their implementation of surround sound and video decoding can’t use the actual power of the chip it’s running on.

Fuck me sometimes I felt like I was the only person on the planet to play that game
