So they admit the moon landings are real.
- Comment on Self sacrifice is honorable 2 weeks ago:
Unions are definitively better than wandering into the forest and dying of exposure.
They still don’t beat just wandering into the forest no risk of dying tho. Have you seen 'em sequoias?

The trick is to not have to actively do anything, but rather take advantage that employment termination means you legally can not actively do things. A case I recall from a friend was a coworker of his who simply happened to be the only one to know how a particular critical system operated, because the rest of the staff never bothered reading the documentation for emergency. He was not paid for his overtimes for long enough and when he eventually stopped taking overtimes, they fired him for some AI-grade hallucination like “lack of commitment”. Four days after he was fired, they tried to order him to come back for an emergency like he owed them that maintenamce. Though cookie, the company and he signed an employment termination agreement to both their satisfactions that he has no legal obligation to the company.
From what I recall, the recovery procedure was three lines over a telnet connection. No one could even bother to open one (1) tab with the doc and type “HyperTerminal” in the Windows menu, lol.

There is one: being happier than your bully and have it that other people openly point that out to them.
But hey, pretty decent second place!
- Comment on Anon is a paramedic 2 weeks ago:
Oh that’s definitively more complicated and much less actionable, you’d have to engage with them a lot to change them in the right direction, or just Hope™ that someone else does that job for you.
- Comment on Anon is a paramedic 2 weeks ago:
Let your vengeance be living past, well and better than.
- Comment on Steam Machine 2 weeks ago:
I was scrolling down when I found this and my brain went “but the Steam Deck—” and then at the very bottom the steam deck pops up into the viewport and I almost spit my Sprite at the screen from the laughter. Very well done.

But see here’s the thing, English has no rules for plurals, so “accordingly” basically means “by vibes”.
- Comment on 🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙 1 month ago:
But the plural of index is indices in Latin, so shouldn’t the plural of Kleenex under those rules be Kleenices?

I like your logic.

A chain with an iron ball would be far cheaper tbh.

Friggin’ CO₂ always causing issues.
- Comment on Gotta go fast 2 months ago:
It should be, if even that, but as usual there’s people who take jokes far too far. Like, I’m sure there’s a Church of Flath-Earthism recognized somewhere. In the US. Southern US.

Fair point it’s been so long since I last took a chemistry course that if I knew anything cool and hidden about water, I’d have trouble resurfacing it. I do know they call it “dihydrogen monoxide” in some reports tho.
- Comment on Gotta go fast 2 months ago:
Fair point magnets are basically a superpower by themselves.
- Comment on Gotta go fast 2 months ago:
That does make sense, but then again, it’s been 2000 years and we can’t find something that boils, expands and compresses better than water? Or is t just because water is commonplace enough in comparisoan?
- Comment on Gotta go fast 2 months ago:
Instasaved!
- Comment on Gotta go fast 2 months ago:
It’s incredibly silly that even tho we advance the scale of power, with electricity, solar and even nuclear, all we use it is to boil water. We just can’t seem to be able t build any a more advanced mechanism, it seems.

Oh you have to deal with the actually gnarly parts of git… sending my condolences.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
Wow, calling asking to identify if something is a thing by the name of the thing that it’s being asked about is “bully culture” now? This is a whole new low level of argument in the pro-AI take.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
The fact that the thread is titled “is lutris slop now” is a clear indication that the intention of the poster wasn’t to contribute anything constructive but to attack the dev and put them on their back foot.
No, it was literally an important question to have answered. And booooy did the dev answer.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
But in the end they are just tools to automate things
No. They are, specifically, tools to automate things in the most destructive way possible.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
You can do that with 99.9% less damage to the environment and the working class with
git -f rebase, or even the old tried and true method ofrm -rf && git pull …. - Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
AI does generate societal damage, but that’s mostly because of how companies abuse it and less because of the technology itself.
Don’t excuse the technology. It was created to be useless and wasteful. Every question on an AI engine helps burn down entire forests. Every AI that is kept awaken and serving dries the lagoons and rivers of an indigenous tribe, if not a small town. Every model is built upon the sustained theft of art, code and identity, to the point the main financers are proud of it and using it as legal justification.
People who are evil, made a tool for evil, and those using the tool of evil are doing little more than enabling evil. Number must go up.

Professionally I don’t feel like I have a choice, if I want to stay employed in the field at least.
On the contrary!
I’ve seen quite a number of “AI cleanup specialist” job offerings so far, and even a few consulting positions on training juniors away from using AI in development.
(No, I have not seen any position open on training management away from using AI…)
