Yeah, not sure if OP knows just how accurate this statement is. That entire film is an unfinished fever dream.

Thank you for the warm wishes. The world is changing, my world is changing, and so am I. Balance is my goal for now.

I just discovered Esoteric Ebb this week and I’m really excited about it. Unfortunately I am stuck to console for the time being. We will see what the steam machine looks like when it officially releases. I’m hoping that will be able to bring me back into the PC market.

A couple of thoughts on this as a union electrician: for starters AI is absolutely having an (arguably negative) impact on manpower fulfillment. In my area the massive expansion of data centers is causing a manpower shortage for all projects not funded by massive tech companies. This is complicated because it’s inflating income for tradesmen due to demand, but it’s also pressuring workers into ridiculous schedules (think 4x10s, 2x8s, and most Sundays) and is forcing contractors that aren’t running data center work to completely rework their payment structure and bid practices. Many of these sites are also a 1-2 hour commute for a large number of tradies. A lot of these guys have been gaslit for decades into thinking working more OT somehow makes them a better person.

Beyond that, while I haven’t personally seen it yet AI will absolutely begin worming its way into design; a process already riddled with issues and errors largely due to time constraints. Clients are going to want work done faster and cheaper, which will pressure design teams into using AI tools in the name of expediency, which will lead to more errors in the construction process, leading to inflated costs and likely problematic installations.

That’s not even getting into the future of AI robotics which absolutely will be impacting our tradesmen directly in the near future.

It’s coming for us too.

I wish I was in a place to enjoy Disco Elysium. By all accounts it should be right up my alley, but between its vibe’s similarity to the state of the world and being a father to young children I have failed to engage with it numerous times now.

This is really a shame. The Helldivers community was really positive and supportive for quite a while after launch. I haven’t played since early last year so I have lost touch, but this is sad to hear.

I have noticed a shocking lack of reading comprehension on Lemmy recently. Between that and the rabid hatred for all Americans I’m really starting to consider dropping the platform.

She wasn’t fired though. She was just moved to a different (totally not ominously named) department.

I disagree. I think public shame is an excellent deterrent. Maybe next time they’ll think engage their brains before defending such an evil platform.

I also like Crockett, but to be fair I haven’t seen much about Talerico I don’t like beyond his Christianity. To be fair in that regard he at least talks the talk of a genuine Christian, rather than the hate mongering bigotry you normally see.

I said every comment. Your comment warranted the use of language, please learn to use it.

I don’t have time to write a rebuttal to every mouthpiece with an opinion. Down voting is a quick way to disagree.

You’re wrong. Everyone needs to be nice and mirror my opinions.

Mid is exactly how I have seen Marathon described by the server slam feedback. People vasalating between whether or not they like it immediately after starting to play it is not a great look.

I just don’t understand what Israel has on the US et al. Like how is this tiny dependent state “forcing” the United States into anything?

Me personally, or the 300 million other people that have no direct control over this situation?

I’m sorry, is there something specific you wanted me to drop my entire life to go do that will put an end to this shit storm that has been decades in the making? Or are you just being an absolutist piece of shit for no reason?

Also when the Iraq War started I was in middle school, so shame on our preteens for not putting an end to the rise of fascism!

Damn you people are just awful. There are millions of Americans trying to organize against this shit. Just continue to get fucked, please and thank you.

Fuck. Off.
