I had so many girlfriends in this game I felt like such a king. Had maybe 8 so basically anytime I logged in. One time I was in the hot tub with one and then another logs in and teleports to me. She was all “who is this” and then my stomach dropped and I turned off my computer.

To be 11 again.

My friend worked for Ubisoft Montreal and you know how much they paid a senior game dev to work 80+ hour weeks? $56k CAD. Fuck them and fuck their games. Dude was worried about the cost to do his brakes because he already did groceries and they wanted everyone to start showing up to the office again to work.

Best VR fighting/sword fighting game I’ve ever played. Haven’t touched it in a hot minute so excited to try out the full release.

The controller was not ergonomic and designed for cool alien looks rather than actual accessibility or usability. That’s my beef with the controller.

That said as a kid I thought it was the absolute coolest thing.

The majority of Israel is decent. The prime minister is literally a criminal who has been protested for years before this conflict. He tries to override the constitution and take power away from Israel’s Supreme Court.

He’s cozied up with the religious extremists who keep him in power. The overwhelming majority of young Israelis want Bibi gone.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Well yes of course. It would be a very strange thing for you to take what I said as “all Israelis have good intentions it’s just Bibi doing everything”.

@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

No that’s an extremist take. I’ve been there many times, have family and friends there. They’re all horrified by the civillian casualties and are out protesting.

Those articles pulled a lot of weight because my province over the last few years have removed all purchase incentives for EVs. The gov used to give up to $10k CAD rebates for electric vehicles. They recently got rid of it and after the election next year, they’ll fully get rid of all remaining incentives.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Do you see EVs being mainstream anytime soon? There are no places to charge (spare for a few big businesses in the bigger cities) and EVs are often double the price of their gas counterparts.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

The smaller affordable EVs are not available in the North American market. The only choice North American consumers have is the large over the top unaffordable EVs. If consumers literally have no choice, surprise surprise they do with what they have access to.

Incentives in this sense really do nothing except subsidize luxury cars for the rich. Cheap EVs are available all over Europe and China but they are purposefully kept out of North America.

There is no political will or interest to actually switch over.

I’m not a scientist but work alongside some stuff that was amplified in politics recently and adjacent to scientists and for my wife and my safety, I never tell anyone where I work or what I do. If anyone asks, I work in IT and most people are okay with that.

We risk vandalism, violence, and harassment otherwise. People are angry and ignorant and desperately want blood.

I’m really sorry to hear that. Love your neighbour shouldn’t have any sort of political slant to it but I guess we don’t live in that world. We couldn’t put our menorah in the window during chanukkah this year for the same reason. Some people can’t differentiate Jews between Israel’s government and I’m not taking any more chances getting my living room window shot up by BB guns again.

I never finished Zero Dawn but I’m about 40 hours in. Combat mechanics are wonderful. Doesn’t get boring for me. But the design of quests being numerous “run 3km this way, find a thing, get out” grows old.

I’ll pick it up again later down the road and finish it eventually.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Agreed. I’m not super computer geeky compared to this website. A bunch of people here would probably not even consider me techy.

That said, I hated the command line and would actively avoid it as often as possible. Once I started using it (just to paste code from tutorials) and then later to cd into folders so I can run an old game .exe with WINE, and then to straight up command line tools for converting .bin and .cue files into workable ISOs (also for old games), I started seeing with the command line is so sick.

I’m converted. It’s great. It’s not as spooky as it looks. Make the background 50% transparent.

I’m in the market for a new car in Canada. I don’t want a gas car. Environmental reasons aside, they just cost too much and have too many moving parts that can wear out.

I can afford most any gas car I want. The moment it becomes electric I cannot afford it. A $10k BYD looks nice, but my government decides I actually need to pay $45k starting instead.

I get there’s protectionism of local industry, but clearly the market doesn’t want what the industry is making. We are held captive to whatever the industry thinks we want. It’s not a real free market. We are prescribed options to bail out the fledgling automotive industry (whatever is left of it after outsourcing everything to Mexico and SEA)

My company has a mandate to sell 50% of our buildings. We also have a mandate to return to office. They’re having people sit on the floors with their laptops because there is not enough space.

Why do people hate people? - A question by 'curious kid' Daisy, age 9, Lake Oswego, Oregon (theconversation.com)

Understanding hate as an emotional response can help you recognize your feelings about something or someone and be curious about where those feelings are coming from. This awareness will give you time to gather more information and imagine the other person’s perspective....

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

In my unscientific opinion that will undoubtedly get shouted down by someone here, people hate people because they hate themselves or aspects about themselves.

The ego is fragile and cannot often handle direct known criticism, so people mirror their self hatred to others. Over time as this is practiced, the brain justifies reasons as to WHY they hate certain people. This helps the brain make sense of why they feel the way they do.

Exactly how my office is doing things. All of us are tracked by our phones to ensure commutes and then by IP address pulled from Entra ID and company-wide VPN. They cross reference it with our seat booking system.

We were 100% remote for all employees since March 2019. Managers now encourage us to go out and buy food at the restaurants nearby (some even “jokingly” ask for receipts which some people keep).

It’s more important to hold up the economy than lower emissions and improve morale, employee happiness, and productivity.

Imagine reading in a national newspaper that a government official wanted workers back downtown to fix the downtown economy and then learning 3 days later that you must start showing up to an office to sit on Teams calls with your nationally dispersed team.

I use it quite a bit. I don’t trust big companies who commercialize AI so I run my AIs locally on my old retired gaming desktop that I’ve turned into a homelab/media server.

I use Kobold.AI to self host an LLM like ChatGPT (Dolphin-Mistral7b if you are curious). I mainly use it for low effort knowledge searches for stuff that is easier typed out long and descriptive (since google struggles with this). Since it’s AI I have to be careful about what I search since I’ve seen it make stuff up but for the majority of what I use it for (Programming syntax, Linux troubleshooting, general questions) it’s pretty good.

I also have Stable Diffusion running as well using the ICBINP model (which is pretty decent for photorealistic images). I use this AI to generate social media display pictures and porn :) it’s fun because it’s a surprise at what you’re going to get but sometimes it generates absolute horrors. Anatomical horrors. Those are genuinely horrific. Other times it’s really good.

I had to prepare a high level report to a senior manager last week regarding a project my team was working on.

We had to make 5 professional recommendations off of data we reported.

We gave the 5 recommendations with lots of evidence and references to why we came to that decision.

The top question we got was: “What are ChatGPT’s recommendations?”

Back to the drawing board this week because LLMs are more credible than teams of professionals with years of experience and bachelor-masters level education on the subject matter.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Haha and then the conversation would then be “Yes but can we see ChatGPT’s research?”

All you need to succeed on this planet is the self confidence to say things. It literally does not matter the accuracy. It’s how you express it. I wish I knew this when I was younger. I’d cut out all the imposter syndrome that held me back.

You joke but several sections of our HR department got cut and replaced with Enterprise GPT-4. We talk to an internal chatbot now about HR questions and some forms.

It did the opposite lmao. I asked it what my vacation leave was because you need to verify leave amounts before you’re allowed to request any additional leave. It said I had 0 in my balance and I know for a fact I have at least a week left 🤪 took almost a month to sort it out. Had to provide balance screenshots and everything. I’d be probably fucked if I hadn’t manually screenshot my leave amounts beforehand.
