I beat The Ascent last night so I'm a cool cyberpunk lady who was just "promoted" to independent contractor. I'm no longer under the thumb of yCorp, I have a deep bank account, and I have a large stockpile of weapons and augs. For living in a cyberpunk dystopia I'm honestly doing pretty great!

Artisanal slop.

This breaks decades-old norms meant to vet candidates for criminal history and conflicts of interest.

Come the fuck on. The FBI background checks are a "norm" too? Do we have actual laws for anything?

“While 98% of the fans are welcoming this, there will always be people like you,” Harada replied. “I understand and sympathize that it may not suit your personal taste, but if you prefer the old design, past works already exist. I am not taking those away from you.

“Also, you refer to yourself as ‘Anna fans’, as if you represent all Anna fans, but you should express your opinion as an individual.”

“You threaten to quit if she isn’t brought back, you complain the moment she is brought back,” he explained. “You demand that she be reverted after she has been completely redesigned from scratch, including her model and framework. And if she actually were reverted, you’d just say, ‘that’s recycling’.

“Either way, your method of expressing your opinion and the content of your argument are entirely unconstructive, utterly pointless, and, above all, disrespectful to the other Anna fans who are genuinely looking forward to her.”

I appreciate you Harada.

Sure is great that they patented the Nemesis system just to do nothing with it for the better part of a decade then shut down the studio that invented it. Brilliant use of talent and the US patent system there.

I don't know what I was expecting exactly but it wasn't little wax scales coming from their abdomen

Where's

Using Solutions that Already Exist

No, seriously, you don't have to build everything from scratch by yourself. Other people write code too.

34% relative humidity. Not great, not terrible.

I could have guessed he was over 60 because he wasn't live streaming the whole thing. Just an old school asshole, not an influencer.

Also my collection of hobbies seems to match up well with the people who nuked their post history after the API-ocalypse. Even when I get good search results I click through and... so many deleted comments...

8GB wouldn't get me through a cold boot and the stack of corporate mandated spyware security agents.

Nestle v Nestlé

The accent mark is how you know it's the evil one. Like a thin little mustache.

Eat more chlorine. Got it.

What a weird thing to do! They can sue each other until the cows come home for all I care but dragging the community into it like this comes off as petty imo. Musky even.

The person posting about a RAT is either unwell or trolling, dumping paragraphs of nonsense and screenshots that don't actually show anything. Don't let it get to you.

You can run ClamAV if you feel you need to, it's fine. Install packages using your distro's package manager. Don't install random binaries or package repositories until you understand where the software is actually coming from. Job done.

Congratulations on going above and beyond! As a sign of the company's gratitude, here is another pile of shit with an even more unreasonable deadline! You got this, Mr. Rockstar!

It's a wheel weight. Somebody has a wheel that is now slightly out of balance.

Billy Mitchell is an asshole and Karl Jobst is yet another YouTube outrage peddler, just video game flavored this time. I have a hard time mustering sympathy for either of them.

You're telling me I can now comfortably play Satisfactory from my couch? This is going to have a profoundly negative effect on my health

"Our goal is that by 2030, we'll be putting more water back into the watersheds and communities where we're operating data centres, than we're taking out," says Will Hewes, global water stewardship lead at Amazon Web Services (AWS), which runs more data centres than any other company globally.

How can this possibly make sense? Mine owner says, "by 2030 we'll be putting more gold into the ground than we're taking out!" I can only assume this is some carbon credits style of nonsense.
