It’s like rimworld but implemented in the most janky incomprehensible way possible.
Last I checked you had to manually assign people to bathrooms and each one only took like two or three people. Stuff like that is found in basically every aspect.

So fucking stupid.
They need to provide notice they are coming every single day, and just not show up until they randomly decide to.
365 notices gives you 365 random inspections. If you plan one every single day, they can’t complain you didn’t give notice.

- Comment on Huh? 1 week ago:
I know a guy who removed his motorcycle’s muffler and rode around for a couple of days. He can’t really hear in his right ear much anymore (because that’s where the pipe was cut off, to the right of the bike.) I did ride for a time, but always wore earplugs even if I wasn’t going on the highway.
I don’t really like large crowds or bars either man. I like 1:1 conversations and interactions. My heavy bar scene and parties only lasted maybe a couple years and I was always a +1.
My wife took me to a wedding where her cousin was getting married and the volume was cranked to 11. I sat through a two hour catholic service before the party which was fine. We got to the party afterwards and I just wanted to go back to the room and sleep. We were traveling, I was sick from what I thought was the food or having some of the local water but it later turned out to be full blown covid but I was trying to be supportive and there for her because her enormous extended family was just meeting me for the first time.
I was in line for food since we hadn’t eaten, and the speakers were to my right. The noise was so loud you couldn’t hear someone yelling “what” at point blank range. I only stood in that line for a minute before leaving and my wife gave me so much shit for leaving, even though it was after her own father left. I wouldn’t be surprised if some or even most of my tinnitis came from that one party. I’ve never told her about this suspicion though, but I still remember it as I notice my ears ringing, right now. The right is substantially worse than the left.
Anyway, fortunately the tinnitus is extremely mild and I generally don’t notice it. If I start thinking about it, it gets worse and very persistent until I manage to distract myself. It’s always there, pulsating to the beat of my heart, and will not go away until I die or go deaf.

Weird, my friends and I may occasionally talk about the bad stuff, but there’s always something good going on. We can be excited for upcoming things too.
I like being able to have conversations at bars and restaurants. In my bachelor days when I was dating an amazing person she knew all the good bars and restaurants that you could actually have conversations in. We always knew going in to a social thing if it was gonna be a good conversation or just yelling and “what?”
Plus the ear damage from the loud shit is no joke. Tinnitus started for me by mid 30s and I never listen to loud music or do stupid stuff, beyond bars and parties.
- Comment on YouTube's long unskippable ads may have finally met their match 2 weeks ago:
The EU consumer laws you see get wider adoption tend to have copycat versions show up in other regions, usually too many regions to make it worth splitting the codebase.
GDPR is still basically just EU & California (with it’s specific version that overlaps substantially.) The rest of us are boned.
Apple’s side loading is just EU as far as I know.
I know some things have been widespread like USB-C, but those are few and far between… and I still buy devices with microusb and other dumb connectors because of course people are still selling them in brand new products years after the EU ban.
- Comment on Federal Agents Shoot 2 in Portland, Ore., Police Say 2 weeks ago:
Is there some kind of law stopping the publication of the names of the murderers? All we ever see is “ICE agent” at best, or similar.
If a local cop shoots someone, their names often end up in news articles. I always wondered why the federal side doesn’t.

At best they will code the restrictions in for users in vietnam.
At worst they’ll block it in the region.
It just comes down to what costs more for them. This won’t improve things in other regions.

- Comment on Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder [TWIV] 5 weeks ago:
Yes, it is creating a change and a change creates many pain points. The same old story of leadership bullshit ideas vs how the work actually gets done is something that will have to be addressed no matter what.
Pandora’s box is open and will never close again. The perception of executive leadership is that it eliminates work, because they have no idea how the sausage is made now, even if they were artists for decades before becoming executives.
Any company that fires their artists today is gonna be hiring all those positions again anyway
- Comment on Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder [TWIV] 5 weeks ago:
So the generalized impression I get from the article is that gen ai creates more work for artists.

That’s a big part of the reason why “AI slop” looks so bad. Inference is fundamentally not how people create complex and delicate art pieces. It’s like constructing a house by starting with the paint job and ending with the framing lumber, then asking an architect to fix where you fucked up.
This is just the whole robot sandwich thing to me.
A tool is a tool. Fools may not use them well, but someone who understands how to properly use a tool can get great things out of it.
Doesn’t anybody remember how internet search was in the early days? How you had to craft very specific searches to get something you actually wanted? To me this is like that. I use generative AI as a search engine and just like with altavista or google, it’s up to my own evaluation of the results and my own acumen with the prompt to get me where I want to be. Even then, I still need to pay attention and make sure what I have is relevant and useful.
I think artists could use gen AI to make more good art than ever, but just like a photographer… a thousand shots only results in a very small number of truly amazing outcomes.
Gen AI can’t think for itself or for anybody, and if you let it do the thinking and end up with slop well… garbage in, garbage out.
At the end of the day right now two people can use the same tools and ask for the same things and get wildly different outputs. It doesn’t have to be garbage unless you let it be though.
I will say, gen AI seems to be the only way to combat the insane BEC attacks we have today. I can’t babysit every single user’s every email, but it sure as hell can bring me a shortlist of things to look at. Something might get through, but before I had a tool a ton of shit got through, and we almost paid tens of thousands of dollars in a single bogus but convincing looking invoice. It went so far as a fucking bank account penny test (they verified two ach deposits) Four different people gave their approvals - head of accounting included… before a junior person asked us if we saw anything fishy. This is just one example for why gen AI can have real practical use cases.
