I play darts, we used to write on whiteboards with sharpies. Now nearly every club has a computer with some kind of software. Usually this software is closed source and sends all the data to some kind of server. We as players have no choice if we want to play the tournament, we have no control. Many clubs also use the computer for training. So everyone can see when you are playing, where you are playing and how you are playing. Great to see how good your next opponent is. Also great to track people. But way worse is the fact that everyone just talks about their average. Oh I played so bad my average was under 60, I still won 3-0 but I was so bad. I hate this. I want back the times where I play shit, win the game with a nice finish and can proudly say it wasn't good but a nice finish and we stop talking, not hear from someone not even in the room how bad I played.

Kinda a niche topic to rant about I know, but no one in this hobby seems to get my concerns.

That must have been the best feeling ever when he came back, loosing a pet is hard but if it comes back it's probably the complete opposite. You got lucky that day.

Hexagons are the bestagons.

There were people profiting from the dot com bubble, from the crypto bubble, I'm pretty sure there will be people profiting from the AI bubble crashing. But surely not the average people, it'll be big corporations which profit no matter what.

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

Sadly not outside the us tho...

That's a great question if also been wondering for some time now. Obviously I can pay in cash, and only in XMR, no problems there. But when my cash runs out, how do I get the cash out of my bank account privately? I can't go to an ATM with XMR or Google/Apple pay. Also then they know information I don't want them to have. If I use my bank card the bank still knows where I am and how much cash I spent in a specific time frame. Anyone hast ideas on how to withdraw cash private?

They sure did profit from all the bubbles, but how would they profit from the AI bubble bursting?

Holy shit, that sounds like you spend a lot of time thinking about that. First of all your relationship sounds like a dream. Hope it holds forever. I definitely got a lot of inspiration from your post, even tho I'm not looking the reaper in the eyes. Lots of good points how to plan our passing for the remaining people. Death can always happen to anyone unexpectedly. Always good being prepared. And I guess those are some good steps. Spending time with your loved ones is obviously important even if you are not the person facing death but if it is an elderly person.

Or make sure the next big thing is also using GPUs

Usually nothing but silence, but if I can not sleep or am thinking to loud I try to distract myself with some glitch in the matrix or anything by as the Raven dreams.

Don't give them any more ideas how to invade our human rights.

TIL a funny story I'll definitely bring up at my next party.

Nice how octal ends with 42.

Woah best news I've read today, that's awesome.

And once they are done tackle cancer next pls; F*ck cancer

Thanks for the answer, best option then is probably to always use the same ATM where I live and at least be a bit less traceable that way. But yeah this system sucks...

Might solve overtime since you always record it, or do you? If you record the overtime you spend on internal projects it's gonna have a bad impact on your ratio of client work to internal work. What you spend 20% of your time on internal projects, your colleagues only spend 10% there - but I work 50h/week instead of 40, but no one looks on this.

Another problem is when your company doesn't have any work for you and you gonna figure out where to book the 8h of doing nothing but waiting for work that day.

Yeah working with timesheets sure is fun work.
