  AI first company? You mean investment scam?

  because other places aren’t hiring at a similar salary and benefits just putting out ghost listings to scare their employees into accepting the crap they’re dealt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You should not be working 60 hours. No one should be. Being over-employed is just as harmful to your life as being unemployed, sometimes more so. You need time to do the things you originally went to work to be able to afford doing, otherwise what’s the point?

  Society: Sunlit Valley, a Minecraft modpack based on Stardew Valley. It’s relaxing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get tired pretty quick of games where the multiplayer aspect is considered important to enjoying the game. If your friends are with you, you can enjoy literally sitting in the dirt doing basically nothing, just chatting. If your game requires me to also drag friends into it like some cultist, just to make it pass the bar into ‘fun’ then the game is a failure, plain and simple. They don’t get credit for the fun I brought with me to the show I paid for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you like to playtest a new indie game? Just completed first playable version of my psychological horror/moral choice simulation.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I played another guy’s game (game dev thesis project) based on the Milgram experiment. It definitely didn’t have this level of graphical fidelity. I’d be happy to give some feedback. I’m running Bazzite at the moment so if you need someone to look at for proton compatibility, etc. I’m happy to be the guinea pig there as well.

  Does anyone actually still do that? I haven’t heard anyone identify with their system since I was a youngling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Somehow I think ducks would have an accent like the old ‘transatlantic’ accent used by actors from the 1940s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The King" (Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tried the demo a ways back. Seemed okay. Way more into the use of Gealdyr as soundtrack than the game itself, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I finally get a long term career and become financially independent?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I hate it, the old truism remains: ‘it’s not what you know, it’s who.’ I have done the job search thing and I have done the 'friendly recommendation thing. Searching and applying took months, led to very little response, and even less good response. Being the guy who a former manager thought of when a client says ‘Stop sending us idiots. Send someone reliable,’ got me straight into softball interviews and into work within a week or less. Talk to people in your area about finding work. It takes you from the pool of 20,000 people and robots that applied on indeed and puts you in the pool of 2 people who know the back door into their system.

  However, if anyone who works in HR is reading this, don’t do this crap. Just do your damn job yourself. Automation makes you worse at your job and convinces your boss you can be replaced with AI. There are no winners when you do this.

  Isn’t it snails where ‘male’ and ‘female’ is decided by who wins the slow-motion penis-knife fight?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does markdown treat linefeeds as spaces?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ending a sentence with two spaces differentiates the end of the sentence, full stop. Kerned, monospace, serif, sans, heavy weight, light weight, double spaced lines, single spaced lines, whatever. Two spaces at the end of the sentence helps make the end of a sentence clearer in every case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people using the "þ" character?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hanlon’s Razor. Which is more likely, someone not understanding AI? Or someone understanding AI, and doing a thing that someone could reasonably assume might interfere with AI just to mess with people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people using the "þ" character?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I understand it’s a way to subtly screw with AI. Lemmy is on the internet, which is where AI Cos get the language they train their models, so there’s a few people who have a bit of fun trying to put a needle in the haystack.

  I always liked the thorn though, ever since I learned about it on QI. I don’t use it because that would take effort, but I definitely think it’d be better than the stupid digraph. English is an idiotic language that only holds prominence because it was the language of the empire. Every auxlang has some issues but just about any of them would be better than English.

  It’s been a minute but i think i know what might be bugging you about the controls. If it’s the having to move and look with the same control, check the settings. There might be a way to adjust it.

  As for other options…

  -The Farming Simulator games are great for controller.

  The movie Incubus is entirely in a constructed language.

  The game Chants of Senaar is built around languages you slowly translate/‘learn.’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shops for diamonds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the ideas I had years ago was to get an uncut puck of lab diamond, (at the time this was ~$1500 from one place, probably cheaper now) find a lapidary and get them to cut out a literal diamond ring, a ring made entirely of solid diamond, and then my spouse could say ‘That’s not a diamond ring. This is a diamond ring.’ in a cheesy Aussie accent.

  You don’t have to share your details but could I ask what yph mean more specifically by ‘wearing certain clothes and helping people?’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  State capitalism is closer to communism than crony capitalism seen elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, manipulating people is technically a ‘function’ to which one can apply clothing. It’s not a good one, but it is a function.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s kind of why I think ‘country’ and ‘communist’ are not really compatible. I don’t think it is possible to have a faithful execution of communism at the scale of an area like China. They’re obviously closer to communism than some places but also just as obviously not there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One way to look at this is the concepts ‘communism’ and ‘country’ don’t really work together. The modern nation-state requires a level of bureaucracy and scaling that is not really compatible with communistic ideals of egalite. It should also be noted that there isn’t really a completely anything country. China calls itself communist but uses capitalist elements. America is arguably the most anti-communist country but uses plenty of centralized regulation and subsidies. And each has a subset that is deeply in favour of more or less of each of these elements. The idea of having anything ideologically pure is the real childish notion here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨22 months later⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not wrong. The color of the background is important to how you see an object. Using the same month would highlight the effects of the war instead of washing them out in the seasonal change. Using this practically is asking people to point out the obvious problem and hurts the point being made in the eyes of anyone looking at it with less than 100% uncritical support, which is the exact group something like this could be used to convince.
