  • What's one book everyone should read at least once in their lifetime?

  • I don’t agree at all. The first book was great, no argument there - but the series matures with Le Guin as it goes. It’s a truly magnificent breakdown of the fantasy genre.

  • A former boss told me it was his favourite book. He didn’t like it when I laughed at him because I thought he was joking.

  • Judging by your username I don’t think that’s a problem in your profession.

  • Yes! Free oestrogen is not actually a particularly good thing if you’re not on antiandrogens and pointless if you are. E-maxxing is sadly money down the drain.

  • The last few financial crises have led to massive wealth transfers to the 1%. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the more accelerationist of them are trying to engineer them at this point.

  • Valve says it isn't subsidizing the Steam Machine's $1050 price because of its "religious" refusal to "build a more closed system"

    Jump

  • That workarounds exist doesn’t change the fact that Valve shuts them down when it can (as noted by that repo). It doesn’t change that Valve claiming to not want to create closed ecosystems rings extremely hollow.

  • It’s a closed system that doesn’t allow owners on other platforms to access the mods (Valve actively shuts down anyone attempting to make it possible). Many mods are only uploaded to Workshop.

  • I guess Steam Workshop is a vivid hallucination of mine then.

  • 60% of TikTok videos are AI slop; 21% of YouTube ones

  • Is that of newly uploaded content or overall? Because the latter is terrifying considering YouTube is 20+ years of content.

  • Computer class in high school back then for me was treating them as glorified typewriters. I fooled around with some VBScript as that’s all we had available (I was very fortunate my grade school teacher taught us LOGO) and I managed to script kiddy my way into admin access for the internet filter for my friends so we could play stuff on Newgrounds. My career advisor told me to get a science degree because there was no future in computers, haha.

  • What is the grossest thing you've been sprayed with?

  • Next to the train station I commuted to in my first job, there was an area for trucks carrying livestock to empty their waste. One particular truck was not carrying actual living livestock but dead calves (the unwanted male ones) when it pulled up near me as I was waiting for the train. Unfortunately the driver pulled the wrong lever and dumped the contents of the truck on the ground. I got sprayed with the worst thing you can possibly imagine. The smell alone…

    And people wonder why I’m a vegetarian (it wasn’t the inciting incident but it helped my conviction)

  • A symptom of treating all return codes as an error code.

  • Apple tried to blame the EU for its Siri AI mess, and the EU called them out publicly

  • Right? The framing on this is diabolical - like I trust big American tech companies with that kind of access anymore than anyone else? I don’t want any of them giving an LLM access to my info.

  • GitHub just switched Copilot to metered billing, and developers are watching months of credits vanish in a single day
