Always have been, apparently

kat_angstrom ,

Pffft, joke's on you, I read that in less than 1 second

kat_angstrom ,

I'm 4hrs in and it's been a very rewarding experience so far! More heart than the last Assassin's Creed I played, which I don't even remember which one it was

kat_angstrom ,

Boycott is a strong word, but I know that I and many, many others decided not to purchase Disco Elysium based on how all that drama went down. And I know I'll never buy HiFi Rush after the way Microsoft closed that studio while simultaneously lamenting how they wish they had more games like that, because I don't want to reward bad behaviour.

Same reason I haven't bought anything from EA in a decade, and I'm really on the fence about supporting Ubisoft at this point too.

kat_angstrom ,

Great deal. Thanks, marketing!

kat_angstrom ,

So, the more drunk you are, the more ethical it is.

Good to know

kat_angstrom ,

Yeah, this has definitely happened before, we just don't hear about it in the news. I am personally aware of a Canadian non-profit whose Google accounts were nuked with no notice or explanation last year, leading to massive disruptions for 150 staff and even more clients. They never found out why, and had to restore from backups onto a brand new Google business account

kat_angstrom ,

Nobody knows. Shape changing man

kat_angstrom ,

Yup, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine theme song as my alarm, 5 years and counting

kat_angstrom ,

This helps nobody, and whoever thinks it's a good idea needs better time management skills.

kat_angstrom ,

Most of the VPs in my local Corpo are all politicians. They speak in buzzwords and value hearing themselves speak over hearing any feedback from people lower than them in the hierarchy. The disconnection between upper management and everyone else is greater than it's ever been and it's only getting worse.

kat_angstrom ,

I don't care about AI.

It's not because of posts like this; it's not because of the endless hype cycle. It's not because hundreds of billions are going into it and it's not because everyone's doing it; it's all these things combined with the fact that I don't have a use case for AI in my life. I don't need AI's sanitized, corporatized opinion on anything, and there's nothing a chatbot can do that a human can't do better.

But that's just me. If you and others like it, Cool Beans.

kat_angstrom ,

May I inquire what you think we'll be using it for?

kat_angstrom ,

I'm already amazing at emails and summaries, I can write my own code but rarely need to outside my job, I don't have a use case for translation, I don't use my current phone assistant and can't see myself using a "true" virtual assistant.

Got any better scenarios? Cuz all those use cases fill me with apathy.

kat_angstrom ,

Beautiful! Love it! :D

kat_angstrom ,

Oh, because I hadn't upvoted it yet.

kat_angstrom ,

Isn't there literally a movie about this, that she's stolen the plot of?

kat_angstrom OP ,

Thanks! :D

kat_angstrom OP ,

Lmao I love that pic

kat_angstrom ,

Hadn't seen this one before! Got a link to the original?

kat_angstrom ,

Oh, perfect. The Gollum videogame was wonderful, and everyone loved it. Hopefully it's 3hrs of similar quality

kat_angstrom ,

If it's like a lot of other tech companies, likely this was posted in a questions thread during a large meeting, and while everyone can see the questions being posed, Execs pick and choose which questions they're interested in answering, ignoring the ones they don't like. It's a good way of determining employee morale while avoiding all accountability.

kat_angstrom ,

I would be intrigued to see more angles

kat_angstrom ,

Most people have the will; but our civilization's leadership doesn't have the interest because the status quo serves their needs adequately.

Nothing will change until we have either a full collapse, or a general strike.

kat_angstrom ,

That's some hostile workplace kind of BS, and shouldn't be tolerated. Document everything, names, dates, info etc.

kat_angstrom ,

But what percentage of fake birds are real fake birds?

kat_angstrom ,

I've never heard of anyone screaming because they had to scan their own groceries at a self-checkout. Is this a common thing?

kat_angstrom ,

Yup, it's a little known secret of our economy that roughly 15% of the populace makes over $10,000 a month evaluating restaurants, aka, eating at them and filing reports.

Those reports are essential for us all, and I for one have been perpetually grateful for the knowledge I have gleaned from them.

kat_angstrom ,

I reached out to The Guild of Restaurant Evaluators to ask, and they told me it was a trade secret. But then when I asked the Restaurant Evaluators Guild, they told me it's for "legal" reasons. But they put "legal" in quotes. The Evaluators Agency told me it was because nobody trusts 21 year olds, but let's face it, of the "big 3", nobody trusts The Evaluators Agency compared to the other two.

kat_angstrom ,

Beauty! Love it!

kat_angstrom ,

Build personalities from childhood onwards, so as they get older they already possess personalities instead of being vapid empty shells of humanity

kat_angstrom ,

Our civilization is more than capable, but those who have money and power are unwilling, because that’s not something they’re interested or invested in.

kat_angstrom ,

What if that food is extremely well-balanced in terms of nutrients?

kat_angstrom ,

Can’t quite tell but looks like an earwig to me

kat_angstrom ,

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

kat_angstrom ,

It’s the most common name in the world, so it won’t take long to find one.

kat_angstrom ,

Beautiful! Love it! :D

@lemmy_stitch

...I think this about sums me up most of the time. Not my design, but it works!

kat_angstrom ,

Lol love it

kat_angstrom ,

Richard Simmons or Pauly Shore, I can’t quite tell

After 3 years I finally completed Hyrule from legend of Zelda a Link to the Past ( lemmy.world )

Before anyone ask I’m not planning on doing the dark world anytime soon. This project was one of the first I started and after many breaks and other projects I finally laid the final stitch. Now to clean and dry then frame it.

kat_angstrom ,

Beautiful!!!

kat_angstrom ,

One of my favorite moments from last summer was sitting on my back patio watching a hummingbird flying circles around my back yard in the dying light of sunset, gobbling up insects with every lap. Adorable.

They also repeatedly killed wasps that were attracted to the sugar water from the feeder I set up for them, that was pretty fun to see

kat_angstrom ,

Heck yeah! I’d even do it for free

Just gimme that chance

kat_angstrom ,

For consumers, “enshitification” is a reminder of how things get worse. For companies, apparently it’s a delightfully new lower bar to aspire to. This is some Darkest Timeline kinda BS

kat_angstrom ,
