great

I've seen other people talking about them being AI nutters, so that seems the likely explanation

yeah but I refuse to use source control that's hosted on premises. that's just a tragedy waiting to happen. and as soon as you want to back up something like that without doing like... full VM snapshots it becomes hell on earth.

I would like this idea if there was any possibility of ever predicting what cloud hosting would cost for anything ever.

I've been using bitbucket for years but I've been mad since they ditched mercurial and then clamped down on their free tiers

mercurial is still superior and there's a timeline where mercurial was picked over git where trump didn't become president

GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation GitHub will be part of Microsoft’s AI engineering team

can we finally leave git behind

“Crime” as conservatives talk about it has literally been a conservative dogwhistle our whole lives akin to “protecting our children”. They care about neither genuinely, otherwise they wouldn’t be worshiping a pedophile who is also a convicted felon

if ai platforms charge for access and people are using chatgpt for virtual girlfriends, does that make openAI a pimp for incels?

wtf onion

making that mandatory splash screen even more of a liability for their reputation

Canadians travelling to the US advised to not fucking do that OTTAWA - Canadians thinking of planning a trip to the United States are being advised by the Government of Canada to perhaps consider going anywhere else on the entire fucking planet for their summer ...

I meant more about how it's possible to make a game with their platform that won't be torpedoed by their business goals of injecting ads into literally everything everywhere at all times

next time I commit a crime I'm just going to say "it was because of hamas" because it seems like a good way to get away with literally the most heinous shit

lmao

epic will one day turn the screws, but they'll do it in a predictable way, and the tool will at least be worth it to some extent.

unity's business goals are impenetrable and you basically can't trust them to not screw you directly.

yeah. unity's inability to decide what it wants to be, or to support any particular thing directly, really just makes it a shitshow across the board. Frankly I wouldn't bother with Unity for anything anymore; Godot is better in 2D, Unreal is better in 3D, pretty sure unity exists for ad/shovelware.

imagine making a subscription based games site, trying to position yourself as the new way to read about games, and then posting articles about a game where you don't link to the game or developer at all, when doing so might be the thing that actually helps them.

wish I'd have known that those things were going to end in my 30s

and black metal

Hell yeah dude

I am jealous.

if AI was as good as these people think it is, there'd be no need to adapt, it would just slot in where it made sense.

we arent at our high for the day yet 🙃

29c here too... but feels like 37 due to humidity

clearly you need to hide your murder knives better

is this a cry for help andrew

and like, pin-through electronics are so simple I could repair them with just a layman's experience and understanding.

but smd and smaller basically cannot be repaired without specialized equipment, but most things are just systems on a chip with connections so small they can't be repaired.

it's one of those things where it's like... does it matter? at the end of the day, things can no longer be fixed. planned obsolescence is mostly a software thing but it's true that without software the hardware is useless

you might think this is a false equivalence but miniaturization is both why devices use less power and why they are less repairable

if your old crt tv broke in the 90s, any electrician could fix it

if your flat screen tv dies, 9/10 odds it is just trash now
