Aw gross tig buddy cartoons yikes.

Can you share those links so I know what sites to avoid?

Not really what Valve did. Valve kept doing cool things that benefit the customer, while the competition actively drove them away.

I don’t follow social media. Is BlueSky feature rich and only getting better?

I used to be like you, laughing and enjoying life.

The new director of technology we just hired a few months ago flexed about how he’s now hit 6-digit donations to Star Citizen. It’s still early and he hasn’t shown any results, but if he’s following the Star Citizen path of growth, my department is fucked.

You don’t like a really solid 20 hour assassins creed game stretched to 100+ hours of grind?

I went to see HR a month ago and they had a post-it of their password for their password manager. We use passkeys too.

And this was after security training.

That was my take too.

Security training was something you know, and something you have.

You know your password, and you have a device that can receive another way to authorize. So you can lose one and not be compromised.

Passkeys just skip that “something you have”. So you lose your password manager, and they have both?

Tinfoil hat conspiracy coming up – the large quantity of layoffs meant security has been tossed aside.

1. Employed engineers not having the bandwidth, resources, time to bake in better security. Literally having to do more with less.

2. Fired engineers may had tribal knowledge on how something worked. Now only God knows.

3. Unemployed engineers are bored engineers. Not saying they did the deed, but maybe they discovered it.

Lucky you. I just had a crazy person who stopped logging in after they got banned for two days. :-(

How am I supposed to leave 10 car lengths while speeding through a school zone? Explain!

Absolutely. He’s just moments away from having a Roseanne Barr moment in his career.

I like it. The guy who played Al Boreland now lives a quiet life.

Tim Allen went pro-Trump, whined about snowflakes and not being able to make jokes anymore, watch Disney replace Buzz Lightyear’s voice and lose a bunch of other roles, and now is “politically neutral”.

Every conference/tech showcase is carefully staged to maximize investments.

Well, often times not Tesla.

The AI responses are so incredibly bad.

I searched for a video game walkthrough that has a similar name to a movie, and it GAVE ME THE MOVIE PLOT.

What a shit show.

I can’t say I’m liking DDG. The first page gives me the same domain links. Like when I search for “eye washing gifs”, the first three links is the same website. Where I’d expect it to give me three separate websites (and combine searches).

It does that for a few searches.

But then again, I’m not even liking Google.

Google: “Well surely, he couldn’t tank TWO massive social media engines in one lifetime!”

My fantasy is that PC games become similar to roms, where it’s a single file. Maybe encoded is the system specs, OS, etc.

Then the “emulator” just works.

Of course, no financial incentives and a lot of work just to exist. Not to mention, it’ll be impossible to do for modern games. But maybe every game that’s older than 10 years old gets this treatment.

Also I’m not a OS engineer and maybe this is what Proton is doing with Linux.

Then pure decentralized gaming on any OS - computer, browser, raspberry pi, “smart Fridge”, whatever has the specs. And the game just works.

Absolutely! It’s representation!

Having gone to Tokyo’s Akihabara and gone to the depths of anime waifu hell…

I mean have you seen gamers?

That was their biggest struggle.
