I mean, Ukraine is losing. What kind of deal do you think they can negotiate?

lorty ,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

They are literally losing territory. They even lost Avdiivka earlier this year, one their biggest fortresses. Are you seriously arguing that they are somehow winning?

@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Yes, the russian army has been losing the war for two years. That's why Ukraine continues to advance backwards!

Maybe if you were producing three times more shells than the whole of NATO, you could pull that off.

The movie was great until that lame "solution" to the alien problem.

Why go after one of the few communities that actually have traffic? It's not redundant if people prefer this format.

WW3 will be fought by F-16s and A-10s.

It's called planned obsolescence and is a well known aspect of modern product design, no conspiracies required.

Backend developer: "The new functionality is done!"
PO: Looks at tests "Seems good, ship it!"

Frontend developer: "The new functionality is done!"
PO: Looks at his screen "This spacing could be a little to the right, also I think I didn't really like this text, also it should probably auto-scroll to the top and this button should change colors when I click it and also don't forget to change the error messages I was happy with before and also I think it should......"

I want BOTH

Yeah I can see how a lib could interpret it that way.

Same, I was infinitely disappointed.

If the US won't be at the table, then Russia won't either. Ukraine has no autonomy so any deal with only them is toilet paper.

lorty OP ,

I was thinking of the new foldables, but they certainly inherit a lot from old flip phones.

lorty OP ,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

The fact foldable screens exist is crazy to me. We even have phones with no visible crease now.

lorty OP ,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Yeah I'd have preferred one of those but they are way too expensive.

Her shallow analysis of games wouldn't ever had made news if it wasn't for the chuds harassing her and her project.

Guess on this issue he's aligned with the US, Germany and UK.

The "anti-woke" crowd has been brewing hate for pretty much every single game that has come out in the last 5 years that doesnt adhere perfectly to their ever moving standards. Groups centered around hate eventually have to lash out at some scapegoat.

The sweet baby inc company itself isn't something worth defending. They are what a bankrupt system spawns when it wants to pretend to care about morals and minorities. Strangely enough, for the kind of company it is, this would probably not have become gamergate 2 if they had given their employees some social media training or flat out told them to not engage.

Either way, due to how it's been framed as an anti-woke crusade from the beginning, I don't expect it to go anywhere. The original gamergate had that surface "concerns about ethics in gaming journalism" that dragged ignorant people into it, but it won't happen here.

Uses the word punk but has nothing punk about it. Would be a lot more interesting if it was used as set dressing for a story about an environment friendly society that's just as opressive as ours.

@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

IIRC all the *punks we have today are about aesthetics, but cyberpunk itself was more about criticising hypercapitalism brought about by rapid advancement of computers rather than trenchcoats and neon signs specifically.

lorty ,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I think the only variant that sort of kept the critique is steampunk, due to the always present inclusion of the horrors of 19th century industrialization and worker exploitation. I have literally never seen anything solarpunk that was any diferent from "green society".

Isn't that more because of the lack of fungi that could break down wood?

If we are being honest he'd just buy it somewhere else. Don't be hard on yourself.

Of what I've heard from other tech people working in similar companies (crypto based or not), you'll probably not be there for long. They tend to be revolving doors for programmers, but at least you'd have money and experience to hopefully get a less shitty job.

One step closer to peace, I hope.

How to constructively protest against AI voice transcription at work?

As a medical doctor I extensively use digital voice recorders to document my work. My secretary does the transcription. As a cost saving measure the process is soon intended to be replaced by AI-powered transcription, trained on each doctor's voice. As I understand it the model created is not being stored locally and I have no...

This is really weird. Is it common in other countries for doctors to not input the data in the system themselves?
