I’m concerned about the pollution and noise issue. They seem to disrupt the local ecosystem as well as people living around them terribly.

I got super confused for a second because I thought this was straight up GOG and thought it was because of that Nazi email that got sent out the other day lol

I think the key part is the copy part at the end there.

For example: a bunch of 3DS games are dying due to age. So physical media can br lost just like digital.

If im recalling correctly, it’s due to the quality of cartridges and how the games were stored on the carts(?). In which case getting a copy online is your next best bet. I feel like this whole rental system is the same deal. If they remove the ability to access the products you paid for, then you’re perfectly fine to go grab a copy from somewhere.

The biggest reason to buy physical in my eyes is that having physical and digital versions of something acts as a failsafe for everyone when it comes to media specifically

This reminds me of the golf ball car thing. I think it was mythbusters that tried it?

I started my job just a few years prior to this AI boom. With a shitty company and now AI on top, I’m really trying to think of other jobs I would be okay at/with doing.

Only now?

Hmm teachers come to mind. Entertainers. Reception and help desk maybe? Surely there much be more

You would think they would have figured out a better solution rather than pesticide usage by now.

I’m so glad they test before they go ahead and use these chemicals /s (they did but obviously not well enough?)

I hate LinkedIn. Feels so scammy and fake.

Somewhere in between the bottom two.

I think the main thing that annoys me is trying to pick apart if something is Ai or not.

There’s more photos here. Looks like they have 41

Thanks I hate it

Thanks! I had no idea you could connect that controller to a PC thats really cool. My PC should be able to handle it find so I’ll have to check it out!

I still remember the day that one coder decided to try and fix Dolphin and managed to make it going from rough to amazing in what seemed like it was overnight

You ever play any GCN in your travels? Wondering if I’m better off hacking my wii (due to the GCN being natively built in) or if emulation through something like dolphin might be better.

Never got to experience the gamecube all that much so im open to ideas. I do have one of those nice wireless wavebird controllers which has me slightly gravitating to hacking the wii

Absolutely lol

I realized recently that I enjoy reading peoples janky personal messages online. You know it’s a real person. Or at least it probably is.

My job recently shifted me to a new task. The hired 4 or 5 people to do my old work.

What I’m trying to say is that they’ll fire as many people as they want and or say that even though the work is being done “more efficiently” they’ll just offload more and more work onto employees anyways and do whatever they can to pay them less

This video has really interesting perspectives on this topic. It includes quotes from various military leaders at the time, with their consensus being that nuclear strikes were not needed to force the Japanese surrender.

I think the big issue is the personification of AI. They’re not people and dont have the same amount of reasoning as a person.

Ai should really just be used for specific use cases like a tool. A hammer is just for hammering.

I guess the main issue is at that point AI should specifically be used more like a computer application rather than a Swiss army knife. So the way it’s commonly used in its chatbot format isn’t necessarily a good or safe way to implement and use it.
