- Comment on How do I move out of the USA with little to no money? 1 week ago:
If things got really really bad, money would stop being an issue in this discussion and people would be leaving on foot, illegally, North and South. The question is whether you’d rather risk being there with no opportunities than the US. Usually it takes civil war for people to get that desperate.
Right now, i would be asking, how’s your Spanish? Can you start networking about jobs in Mexico city today?
And, really, how much is money a factor? Are you low in funds but have skills that countries want, like cybersecurity type of experience or some technical degree that few have? It’s worth checking if Canada or Mexico want whatever skills you might have. Sometimes it’s easy to immigrate if you’re young, healthy, and easy to employ.

Literally every time it’s mostly just a way to preserve it between steps, and you could probably skip the dry and go directly to the next step.

Yeah literally the dry part is just “prevent microbes from taking over between steps”
You could skip drying for most of this if you just went to the next step and cooked it

How dare you infer I have no whimsy. Motherfucker I am chock full of whimsy and joy.
What is more whimsical, enjoying a fresh new world for what it is and exploring it and accepting their differences that you may not fully understand, or asking if it has gay marriage and democracy and destroying it if it does not already reflect your neoliberal values?
- Comment on Anon is a dungeon master 1 week ago:
So basically the DM created a world with a natural disaster incoming, and the players decided to instead destroy the indigenous nation, install a new puppet leader that adheres to American values and voting rights, and ensure gay marriage is legalized even though homosexuality was tolerated in this society, just marriage was a civil and financial issue.
Who’s worse? The DM, or the imperialist players?

I do think the entire dev industry, not just game dev but software development, leaning more and more on AI is having some serious consequences that not many see yet. I say that as someone who is in a company under a CEO that is drinking the AI Kool aid too, someone I interact with a decent amount. I see how leadership reacts to this stuff and how dev behavior has changed since 20 years ago to AI getting started a few years ago to today, and there’s some very visible issues.
Software developers, even the good ones, are being heavily pushed to use it and move fast and not look at code too heavily, either their own or their coworkers’. We used to rely heavily on peers reviewing each other’s work. They now claim that workflow is “dead”.
And they only hire half as many juniors, because seniors are filling the gaps so doesn’t and juniors aren’t as “useful” as they used to be. If you want to ask someone to build something out for the next month and heavily review their work to make sure it’s correct because you don’t trust them … You can do it with AI, except it’s done in a day, and people decide not to review it because it’s so quick and emits so much slop.
Now they focus on testing, making sure another ai reviewed the AI work, making sure unit tests exist, making sure it followed a well thought out system design (probably one of the smarter parts of mostly dumb ideas), and then they merge it themselves because no one else wants to look at slop.
I’ve noticed that a lot of stuff gets built out, entire fucking products with tons of working menus, and no one even knows who built them or how it works. Then you read the author and see cursor everywhere, and you find who triggered it, and they don’t even know how it works.
Worse, they don’t even know how to check for bugs or watch if things break. They wouldn’t know what would break. And worse, they don’t give a fuck if it breaks because they feel way less like they worked on it, and don’t care about it.
I’ve literally seen an app like that and told the dev hey that’s broken right now, and he said “ask the AI to make a new one”. For fucks sake, what? You want to reprogram something from scratch when you see bugs?
There’s zero ownership, people leave jobs earlier because they stop caring earlier, less people hired back because they only want seniors and people who are willing to do the work of 3 people, and CEOs are slowly letting people go because in their pipedream, AI does everything and they just sit and own it.
Even then, they’re fucking stupid because if I was the guy selling the AI service, I’d just replace every company I essentially already replaced. Why the fuck do I need an external CEO and a company name if they depend 100% on me? I build their product already for them. Why not sell it for them?
The entire software dev industry is slowly getting infested with this “let AI do it” mentality that is making all software worse. I’ve seen apps break these days that never would break before because they have millions of customers using them constantly. But now, who gives a fuck if it breaks for millions, because no one even knows how to check

I was hanging out with this late gen Y crowd, and literally everyone had their phones out and were messaging other people in the friend group who weren’t currently hanging out.
Kinda agree. We fucked society up with phones. I both admire that we can hold such a powerful computer and carry it in our pocket, and hate that it’s normalized.

everyone seems so shocked that it keeps insulting the players intelligence with nav and gps and constant reminders, but do people not realize this is the direction AAA has been going since forever?
I’ve always fucking hated this shit… But people seem to fucking love not having to think or explore in games, and they want to basically watch a movie but feel like they’re in it.
You take it to the obvious next step and reveal how little faith you have in people’s smooth brains, and while it was basically a step in the same direction, I guess people finally felt insulted.
Games used to be really fucking hard, and “iron man” was just the fucking default lol. You die, you die. Maybe that was shitty but they used to make games where beating it was way crazier.

I read through it and they have roughly 17 months of runway left to cover all their services. They don’t have “decades”.
Whoever this is claiming they have decades of pay is full of shit, and just saying they spend too much and have too much “bloat” when the non wikipedia stuff is like wikiversity and wikibooks, actual decent 100% free services with great intentions. Literally they are a non profit that survive on donations and spend 70% on payroll and data center services to offer us free shit.

Okay so I’m not too familiar with Wikimedia’s other offerings so I decided to look it up
wikimediafoundation.org/…/wikimedia-projects/
WikiBooks free ebooks, cool I should go through what they have
wikisource: freely licensed historical texts and docs, cool don’t need but sounds good to have
Wikiversity: free education via learning resources and projects, fucking awesome and wish I knew about it before
wikivoyage: free travel guide, cool stuff
…
You’re really arguing that all this is unnecessary bloat? There’s a lot of cool shit here that seems like it’s totally made with awesome intentions, to provide all sorts of free resources from a certified non profit org that is literally just trying to crowd source information and provide it back to the community for 100% free with no ads.
That’s like saying your city library takes up too much space and should downsize because fuck free stuff. Except your taxes don’t even go to this… just donations, and you’re literally telling people online to not donate to them because they have too much money and lying about how long they can survive on it…
Honestly, what the fuck is wrong with you?

As of June 30, 2025, the Foundation’s net assets were $296.6 million, which represents 17.1 months of operating expenses
lol not decades and mostly donations
Revenue: The Foundation’s total revenue increased by $23.2 million, to $208.6 million during fiscal year 2024-2025. The vast majority of this revenue came from donations (including grants from the Endowment), as well as investment income, Wikimedia Enterprise revenue, and other revenue primarily related to a cost sharing agreement with the Wikimedia Endowment, which, to keep the Endowment’s costs down, allows the Endowment to leverage staffing and other resources from the Foundation and reimburse the Foundation for this usage. Donation revenue increased $14.8 million, from $174.7 million to $189.5 million.
How much do you think payroll is? Major layoffs would likely begin in a year if people stopped donating i’d imagine.
Expenses: Our expenses totaled $190.9 million, of which 77.4% went to programmatic activities
That includes their data centers engineering and security payroll from what I read. The bulk of expenses is literally just to run the application smoothly, and keep these employees paid.
The only way to make their funds lasts decades would be to shut down a ton of shit and lay off employees, which would not be something anyone wants.
