  • DJ Shadow + Run The Jewels was right on the money, a decade ago.

    Nobody Speak

    Ayy, get running, start pumping your bunions, I'm coming

    I'm the dumbest, who flamethrow your function to Funyuns

    Flame your crew quicker than Trump fucks his youngins

    Now face the flame, fuckers, your fame and fate's done with

    Also with the spate of latest Congressional hearings... music video ain't too far off reality either.

  • Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST

    Jump

  • Yeah and they largely all fucking suck ass for about the last 5 years.

    There's a difference between slop that appeals to an imagined 'median consumer' that will make a boatload of money, and ideas that are actually unique and new and captivating.

  • Everything's fine. Nothing to see here.

  • You're thinking like a person who values accurate information more than feeling some kind of 'cool' and 'trendy' because now you can vibe code and we are a forward thinking company that embraces new paradigms and synergizes our expectations with the potential reality our market disprupting innovations could bring.

    ... sorry, I lapsed back into corpo / had a stroke.

  • It almost certainly is, in as much as the one time and ongoing cost of not having some kind of data analytics team or system is $0.

  • I have been saying for years now that the kind of work that LLMs are best suited for replacing and also would by far be their most cost effective use case from a business stand point is...

    Well its the most expensive employees who basically just spend most of their time having meetings or writing emails about things they only understand at a very birds eye view level.

    You know, C Suite, upper management.

  • Everything's fine. Nothing to see here.

    Jump

  • Clearly you've never worked as a data analyst, or you would know that the vast majority of upper management and C Suite are, in fact, all fucking idiots.

    They're generally where they are because of mutual secrets and nepotism, for who else is on their contact list.

  • As an unemployed data analyst / econometrician:

    lol, rofl, perhaps even... lmao.

    Nah though, its really fine, my quality of life is enormously superior barely surviving off of SSDI and not having to explain data analytics to thumb sucking morons (VPs, 90% of other team leads), and either fix or cover all their mistakes.

    Yeah, sure, just have the AI do it, go nuts.

    I am enjoying my unexpected early retirement.

  • Yeah. Its like... welp, went down the wrong path in that dialogue tree, undo, ctrl z, load previous save!

    An open source repairable printer.

    Jump

  • Ah you beat me to it!

    Yep.

    This is the real reason that an open source printer would get a ton of pushback... it would make it so that law enforcement agencies can't use the detailed, near invisible, functional serial numbers that snitch on all their users.

  • Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software

    Jump

  • Guys, what you need to do to be competetive, to foster competition... is keep using all our products and services.

    Setting up a fund to get new people involved, to get some more money to existing software devs who work on comparable products and servicrs that could be expanded and improved?

    No no no, thats uh, that's anti-competetive, is what that is.

    Mhm.

    Yep.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • ... I've never even heard of it.

    But I do love the old paper mario games!

    So wow, now we have a real life example of actual organic word of mouth spread of a game, as opposed to just being a passive advertisement sponge!

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • Great news!

    They are!

    ... Just typically not the overproduced and overpriced corpo ones.

    Wanna drive down AAA game prices?

    Stop paying them!

    Support your favorite indie or AA game today!

    Don't like games with predatory microtransactions?

    You'll never believe this, but you can also just stop playing games with them!

    Get all your friends onboard with the plan, fight the man!

  • Google Says People Are Copying Its AI Without Its Permission, Much Like It Scraped Everybody's Data Without Asking to Create Its AI in the First Place

    Jump

  • Wow, they're seriously saying this with a straight face, huh?

    Oh hi Google, my name is Epic Games, and I see your recently trained a new 'AI' of yours on Fortnite.

    Let me introduce you to my friend Fromsoft, who is pretty sure you uh, copied their notes from Dark Souls as well.

    ... How are all these people this fucking stupid?

    There's no possible resolution to the paradigm of 'I can steal everything but you can't steal anything' other than total chaos.

    Total chaos ain't a good standard for a legal system trying to figure out IP law.

    This is completely ludicrous.

  • Microslop

    Jump

  • ... at the height of their arrogance, the climax of their hubris, they decided that their own spaghetti was so substantial, so impressive, of such bulk, they confused it for divinity; they believed that it could organize and improve itself.

    Such was the nature and extent of MicroSlop's trangressions against the very nature of noodles, against those ancient ones who wove together the very fibers of reality itself.

    Pro-Trump CEO Left Reeling as His Dream E-Bike Company Files for Bankruptcy Under Trump Trade Policies - WTF Detective

    Jump

  • Yeah this is basically:

    I failed at running a business, so now I am a contractable advisor / lobbyist.

    You'd actually have to be a moron to use such a contractor, but its actually pretty common, because nepotism is more important than competence or innovation in America.

  • Jeff Gerstmann tries Bazzite

    Jump

  • I'm not annoyed that you don't love linux, I'm annoyed that you don't understand what words mean and think you have a higher level of relevant experience than you actually do, that you are going out of your way to feel insulted.

    It points toward you being the kind of entitled and emotionally unstable person that people who actually are experienced with linux tend to have PTSD from consistently dealing with.

    And your subsequent comment I am here replying to confirms it.

    I didn't tell you to not be an idiot, I didn't call you dumb, I gave you the blueprint of a way to become a more experienced linux user, or a functional alternative to that.

    Nobody in this thread called you dumb or an idiot, unless I somehow have someone who replied to you already blocked for some reason.

    Your ego is too large, that is why 'linux people' don't like you; you're the arrogant entitled asshole who is unwilling to either learn or accept your own limitations.

    Normally, in IT departments, acting the way you've acted would get you flagged or categorized as a more hostile or combatative client... here on lemmy, nobody is being paid to deal with your ego.

  • Jeff Gerstmann tries Bazzite

    Jump

  • Uh... I mean, kind of? Not really?

    Bazzite makes significant use of Proton, which yes Valve primarily funds, though... probably more to the tune of millions to tens of millions, over its entire history so far, not... billions...

    But as I said, its... mostly Fedora, with a good deal of prepackaged tweaks and prebuilt flatpaks and other systems they either manage or contribute to as a kind of functional ecosystem.

    Fedora != Valve.

    Anyway, I daily drive Bazzite.

    I probably can help you, I've managed to fuck and unfuck myself by breaking and then fixing Bazzite more than once, by doing things they say you probably shouldn't do, and then using their provided wiki/tools/macros to fix things... and they've refined and improved their rollback command macros and such over the years.

    But, you don't want to be helped, you want to complain, so, best of luck with that.

  • Meta reportedly wants to add face recognition to smart glasses while privacy advocates are distracted

    Jump

  • Either that or IR still blows out the range of a lot of cheaper/older cameras, or at least would have much of your face rendered as basically a white or black blob/bloom, so long as the emmiter is at the right angle/distance/strength relative to the camera.

    But... there are a hell of a lot of different cameras, some of them do basically negate or otherwise filter or adjust for this... no clue how generally prevalent those kinds of cameras are these days, if the meta face stealer goggles will have them or not.
