Yep, don’t fuck with nature.

Well yeah, they have to hoard your advertising data somehow. How else can they advertise things that you don’t need to buy?

Devs geting screwed over by management (not even just game devs but all devs) is a tale older than time, sadly.

What an absolutely dystopian future we’re in.

You’re right they should just… get killed instead then?

You’re right, I’m an abuse enabler because I made an observation about companies being shitty. Very well said.

Saying “You’re not alone” is supposed to be a wholesome thing to show someone that you care. Instead, it’s AI companies squeezing as much data out of customers and injecting as much AI into everything they can.

Society really took a wrong turn didn’t it?

Just unfortunate timing I would think lol

Great minds think alike I guess.

Is he wrong though?

I think that’s something they have, yeah. It’s kind of unheard of to me. I can only imagine public servants like librarians or library assistants getting stalked, harassed, etc because their info is publicly available for anyone to access.

I’ve seen him described elsewhere as “a poor man’s idea of a rich man” and I think it’s accurate.

With that said, I don’t think it’s his fault the petition failed, people just don’t care usually.

edit: To give more context, Pirategames literally does not know what the Stop Killing Games movement is about, he thinks it’s only about single-player games being always-online (yes that’s a component of it but not the whole thing) and converting multiplayer games to be offline-playable single-player games but it does NOT mention that anywhere because it is NOT about that. However, I guarantee you that Pirategames will not admit that he was mistaken about his understanding of the Stop Killing Games movement, he will instead double and triple down and insist that he had the correct understanding of it. lol

Yet they will never be replaced, sadly.

They get all of the credit and none of the blame.

That’s pretty much how it goes yeah lol

For better or for worse, it’s actually quite different. Many people seem to actually prefer Mario Kart 8 lol

US is about to go to war the day before I go down to the states to get an MRI, lovely.

I’d actually argue enterprise is more likely for people to switch, there’s a lot of Linux sysadmins out there, and there’s a lot of Linux in enterprise environments, and of course especially servers.

Unless you have specific requirements for specific software that runs only on Windows, getting away from Microsoft can be a pretty tempting prospect. Even if there are people who fear change and the idea of change like the plague.

I’ve been working from home with my older family members since COVID started and I’ve been pretty happy since it’s always been my goal. I’ve also had a knee injury for the past 3 weeks, and it’s potentially prevented me from making it worse, and allowed me to continue working. I’ve almost been working remotely for the majority of my career, which is kind of cool to think about. I like working from home, but I understand not everyone likes it.

Honestly, I’d probably sooner retire from tech and work something else if I was forced to go back into an office with no possibility of getting a remote job.

Okaerinasaimase, goshujinsama

did you think of all the taxes they’ll cut from the rich? no, you only think about yourself and what will happen to you in an emergency

This is what it comes down to.

Rich people matter.

The real answer is somewhere in between.

There’s going to be less programming jobs, but there’s still always going to be some demand for them, there’s always going to be some technical knowledge required, even if just “prompt engineers” or similar concepts. Things still need to be built and fixed, and if you’ve worked for enough project managers/product managers, you know their lack of technical knowledge would not be enough to even prompt an LLM much less do anything else.
