- Comment on How to know if that job will crush your soul 1 day ago:
Do you have evidence of leaders in the organization making hard choices to do the right thing?
This went from a hard yes to a soft no and I don’t know if it’s soul crushing but it feels super crappy.

Of course it’s different then twenty or thirty years ago, always is always will be.
- Comment on The hill I will die on: I really don’t like ‘like’ – or other imprecise and redundant speech 1 week ago:
As a francophone I must cope with a diaspora of language snobs. Their ilk systematically go die on the same hill: hubris (it’s a Greek word look I’m of the privileged class fuck off shit eating peasants). Redundancy is a fundamental and necessary quality of the human language. It’s how we set the table for communication and restore its message despite imperfect transmission contexts. Imprecision is a fundamental and necessary quality of the human language. It’s how we approach and explore complex subject matters in real time we don’t fully grasp yet. It can be how we leave some information out for various reasons as well. So je vous emmerde monsieur de Bernières. The language will thrive and morph despite your protestations. The thesaurus and the dictionary will reflect these changes, not the other way around.

If I had to guess I’d say some corporations specialized in fucking up ecosystems bribed him. As a result they will enjoy a short term increase in profits (or at least in stock market valuation) from being able to conduct business unchecked.

It takes a while to complete a first run especially if you’re not especially skilled. I’m a forty something that always had shit coordination and I managed to complete runs after a while. My advice would be not to obsess too much on that and enjoy the various side stories unfolding between runs.

- Comment on Snap Inc blames AI as it lays off 1,000 workers 2 months ago:
Imagine the unfathomable power of a company who would harness the velocity of rapid AI advancement or somesuch AND keep their employees. The world isn’t ready for such raw productivity. It would be too easy to get ahead of competition. Understandably they steer clear of such lawless behaviour. Gentlemanly sportsmanship, truly.

Hey, good to know Apple’s music has been DRM free for a while! I’ve bounced off iTunes many, many years ago.
- Comment on The World Is Basically Begging for Another iPod 2 months ago:
Look. We already have a little computer in our pocket. Besides Apple can go fly a kite with their DRM audio files. Just let me own my phone.

Friendly reminder that Google is making moves this year to make installing apps away from their store as painful as possible.

That’s so much fun! Even though some of those works use cutting edge browser features, their free spirited mindset brings me right back to the primordial web.
- Comment on Number of AI chatbots ignoring human instructions increasing, study says 2 months ago:
HGModernism has a video about “lying” LLMs which is interesting. Basically an LLM is calibrated to find the shortest route to a an answer. It has no conception of obedience. Say you tell the LLM to use your script to solve a problem. Say the LLM will spend more energy figuring out and using your script than whipping up its own one. The LLM will therefore pretend your script is broken, generously make a new one and use that instead.

Personnally I’d argue that there is no hard limit to the size of a community and to the number of communities a single person belongs to. Neighborhoods can have community gardens and kitchens, hobby farmers can share their crops with family, etc. At the provincial level, I find supply management to be alright for cutting speculation out of the equation and insuring a livelihood to local professional farmers.

less parkings more community gardens
- Comment on Microsoft’s ‘unhackable’ Xbox One has been hacked by 'Bliss' 2 months ago:
Seven years after its launch, Microsoft engineers would still assert that the Xbox One was “the most secure product Microsoft has ever produced.”
Microsoft always at its peak when working against its users. For a console released in 2013 to be broken into only today is quite the achievement. Imagine what MS could do if their users weren’t their product.
- Comment on Android: sideloading blocked and open source updates withheld to twice a year 3 months ago:
I don’t want to be a party pooper but I can’t help feeling that buying Google’s hardware to avoid Google’s software might not pan out in the long run.
- Comment on Android: sideloading blocked and open source updates withheld to twice a year 3 months ago:
The sad part is that LineageOS, GrapheneOS and basically all Android alternative OS are built on top of the AOSP, which Google controls, and they’re staling updates to twice a year. These stalled updates may include critical security patches or device compatibility support.
Furthermore many android devices prevent users from entering a boot state which lets the owner install the OS of their choice, making everything more complicated.

- Comment on Pokémon Pokopia | Review Thread 3 months ago:
It does not. You need a Switch 2 to play this game. There’s some game share Nintendo feature that allows a Switch 1 to play it if it is being shared locally by a friend with a Switch 2. Some magazines are having fun wording this confusingly and getting people’s hopes up but it’s not happening. Console makers aren’t in the business of extending devices’ lifespan.
