• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of some stuff in Charles Stross’ Accelerando. The book mentions how AI was rapidly filing patents and lawsuits and all this stuff by itself constantly. It was terrifying as a fictional idea, but here we are, it’s real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fuck this asshole⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “…illegal protest…”?

  Oh right, the US Constitution doesn’t exist any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can A person find out if they were hired as a DEI or fired because of it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The point of DEI is to overcome bias. If you are hiring, and you have a white guy and a woman of color, and the woman is a better choice, are you actually able to recognize that fact or will you be biased in favor of the white guy without even realizing it? And yes, the “without even realizing it” is literally the most important part, and the reason DEI programs/training are necessary.

  So being “hired as a DEI” means you were hired for your qualifications despite being at a disadvantage due to social biases, and being “fired as a DEI” means you were likely the victim of overt discrimination.

  Our ancestors have been using sharp sticks, heavy sticks, and sharp rocks since they could walk upright, so I’d support that, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amplitude announce Endless Legend 2, an oceanic 4X with Manor Lords outfit Hooded Horse as publisher⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Together? Because I’ve never been able to play any of their games without major desync problems. The same desync bug has been in every one of their games since the beginning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Should Twitter links be banned from lemmy.world?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is an excellent point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Should Twitter links be banned from lemmy.world?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Twitter no longer exists.

  But X links should, indeed, be banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yep, you did.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems to me that they were both right. If I didn’t know better, I’d be inclined to think that the wealthy and powerful used their works as a roadmap instead of a warning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It shows you love them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The CCP is right wing, so they’re getting a double-scoop of red-hued authoritarian desert. Nothing contradictory there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Fincher used AI for the 4K restoration of Seven⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are the existing home releases different? It sounds like Finchers problems are mostly image quality issues, not changing the actual content of the film like Lucas did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Jury nullification is a Constitutional Right.

  Not that the US Constitution is worth a damn in 2024.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What your coffee preparation method says about you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ?

  Downvoted for lumping tea in with coffee. How dare you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What your coffee preparation method says about you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what, this is really accurate. I won’t touch Ubuntu or a pod machine. I will use an old percolator, if necessary, but it’s not something I would ever pick over other options. I also bounce between other distros just as often as I bounce between coffee brewing methods!

  I wonder where openSUSE falls on this paradigm? Moka pot, maybe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 days to die is no longer Early Access, but still looks like this⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always been a very ugly game. I never expected that to change… but games are a lot more than graphics. Minecraft still looks like Minecraft, after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Borderline?

  There’s still DuckDuckGo, or Kagi if you are rich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Experience is priceless, but this is just justifying exploitation.
