Not like the story will end. This one’s in the same cabinet as combatting aging.

“Just a a few years away” means, “We are attempting to grift a billionaire”, and it won’t be achieved. I wish the company many well funded years of unprofitable operation.

Yeah. It’s just profit, whatever makes line be as up as possible. I doubt there’s any regard, good or bad, for the user’s experience beyond that.

It may be more profitable to have regular success stories getting churned. The algo looks out for the best interests of the company’s profit. Sometimes things line up.

It’s all conjecture. I suspect the algorithm puts it towards the bottom of the stack because there’s more money in casting a conventional net.

Yes, they literally are fuck algorithms. 🤣

Not a fan of how corporations make them work myself but understanding a little about them can make things like this a little less frustrating.

I would argue that the existence of an algorithm isn’t inherently evil, they just ruin things when they’re designed to maximize profit.

Yeah at first it is. The algorithm learns about you over time and it gets a little better with regular use. It still has a bit of a blind spot around nerd/geek culture.

Fusion isn’t going to function fully. I think the cloud integration pipeline messes with it. You’re better off with OnShape.

FreeCAD is fine with addons but it’s just not streamlined in my experience.

If it weren’t for CAD I’d have a linux workstation.

I despise Material You. Well, not Material You, but that it’s not optional. I miss non-pastel colors. I miss contrast. I miss better screen utilization.

Modern UIs have lots of functional improvements but visually they suck ass and they are an assault on customization.

It’s a game that reaches across adversarial borders. Allowing or encouraging leaks like this could bring Gaijin closer to threat of sanctions regardless of law. Any segmentation of the player base would lead to a reduction in user count and therefore a loss of profit.

So Gaijin cars, a lot.

Spent a week in the hospital and couldn’t leave until i pooped. Problem is when you’re pumped full of opioids that doesn’t happen.

I quit taking the oxy a couple weeks later because of that and wanting some beer.

A low place indeed when even the high seas deliver not your treasure.

Boomhauer: Dang ol’ messed up man

With the way qualified immunity works these days, “Whoopsie, disappeared someone, my bad, I’m sowwy” Is a legitimate defense.

Once they can start disappearing people while wearing uniforms they will.

You wont build a tolerance unless you’re using it constantly. A few days for a pain a few times a year is meaningless for tolerance. As long as you RTFM, the hospital dose will always exceed your tolerance.

This doesn’t apply to opioids but I’d argue people make too big a deal about those as well, just don’t do them outside a prescription nor recreationally. You’re probably more addicted to taking a shit every now and then unless your life is already in the drain.

I think it’s media bias and sensationalism. It happens when journalism has a profit incentive and is owned by 4 or 5 oligarchs/ultra-wealthy.

I was experiencing moderate executive dysfunction from extreme anxiety last year. I started drawing but maybe did a small doodle at a time(<15min). I just kept the sketchbook and supplies in the one special place i kept clear of my chaotic clutter(even if that just meant pushing stuff around the desk). I think i picked it up once a week on average. A year on and I’ve done about a hundred sketches. I guess i decided that out of everything in life, that’s what i valued putting miserable little bits of energy into.

Don’t know if that’s possible for you but every time you pick up that hobby you get a little better at it and that skill is never lost. So you know… Progress is progress ig.

Ah. Now i recognize your meaning. It is a little ambiguous at first glance whether your statement is commenting on the media’s behavior or the law in general.
