I’m very grateful that my Sphynx is an overactive nutcase. He free feeds and gets wet food at 6pm every day and is at his bowl every 20 mins when he’s awake. He’s so fit and jacked that it blows my mind haha
We have one of those cat wheels and he’s on it for a decent amount of time every day
This comment needs to be made into a plaque for the Lemmy Hall Of Fame. Thanks for this!
CALL J.G. WENTWORTH!
I’ll one up you.
Google’s “principal evangelist” for Gemini did a 2hr presentation for almost 1,000 people at my company on Google Meet a few weeks ago.
40 mins late due to nobody knowing how to get more than 500 people in a meet.
He then spent 90 minutes showing everyone how to do shit that literally everyone knows how to do with AI nowadays; touch up old photos of your grandparents, make shitty marketing mascots and logos, etc…
Here’s an image I took during the presentation. For a laugh, look at the background text:
A C-Suite exec got impatient and asked when we were going to cover how to use agentic tools and he said “oh I’ve got a little section at the end for that.” Ffs
Literally nothing useful happened during this meeting and nearly 1,000 employees were idle for no reason. A complete and utter waste of fucking time. Gemini dude didn’t even bother to consider what use cases we might be looking into, he just did a boilerplate ELI5 of AI that would have been outdated in like 2022.
Absolutely insane.
Cars didn’t need apps in the 1900’s and they sure as hell don’t need them now.
The original Xbox was a powerhouse. I had so many CDs saved on that hard drive and it never even mentioned any storage restrictions. Shredding runs on Amped 2 woth my own music was so sick.
They were way ahead of the curve back then. They’ve just enshittified in the meantime.
Which is a shame, because TES’ lore is incredible.
Want to know another easy way to save costs on the workforce? We’ve all known this option since 2020. You close your brick and mortar office and let people work from home.
If all you’re comparing it to is Windows then yeah, I guess.
Cogmind is such an amazing game! Add Caves of Qud and Dwarf Fortress to the list as well!
Forever games indeed.
Honestly, we’d be better off at this point.
I hate being so pessimistic that I agree wholeheartedly with this.
This needs to happen but I don’t have faith in the CRTC to do the right thing with the money.
Right?
Like, says who and on what historical basis? People said similar shit about crypto and we all know how that turned out.
most apps won’t work.
You need to do everyone a favor and stop spreading this nonsense. It’s absolutely false. Every app I’ve installed on my phone works fine, including banking apps. I use cards to make payments instead of NFC. That’s literally it.
I’m tired of people painting ROMs and Linux as if you have to step into the stone age if you want to use them, as if it’s a massive inconvenience.
If having to use cards to pay is enough of an inconvenience for people to rather lick Google’s boot… I don’t even know what to say.
I mean… If there’s any possibility of recovery on the table then you’ve got a hell of a lot to lose. 400k is life-changing money.
You will come to regret wasting your life on work.
There’s a steam plant for my local hospital about 300m from my house. When I’m in my basement trying to record drums, I can audibly hear when the plant is running. Super low, sub-50hz hum. It gets into all my mics.
Fortunately my bedroom is on the second floor of the house so the resonance doesn’t keep me up at night.
I haven’t wanted phone/sms service for over a decade. If I could have data only, I’d sign up in a heartbeat.
I’m loving all the Qud posts lately. Incredible game.
