Yeah, that’s why it’s the chaotic neutral solution… We would need to organise food, water, comms and energy supplies almost immediately. We’d to have to work together, and that is chaotic.

I think a fun way to protest would be to stop the economy. Just all simultaneously stop working and spending, stay home and spend time with our families.

HL3 will be a secret minigame you unlock after you beat the HL1 & 2 minigames on hard. Of course HL3 will have been worth the wait.

Nah Gabe working on a god tier game. He just want to be able to say the same thing we all do… “you mean, you have to use your hands?”

Where we’re going, we don’t need peripherals.

Just Gabe working on a god tier game.

We’re just waiting for the environment to correct that problem.

In that way I’m like a professional cook that spent all day cooking for others, so when they get home they just don’t have the energy to put all that effort into themselves.

Funny that, I’m a Linux admin. I actually run my own servers for everything. I’m a firm believer in whoever owns the hardware owns the data. It’s just like work but with tools that I like. I like knowing where it is, and it’s not going to end the world if it’s offline for a time.

I did windows admin for about 5 years though up to 2008r2, and I have to say I do like AD and ntfs ACLs (except when they break). Those times do contribute to my aversion.

I too know a thing or two about developing, back in the day I did C, pascal, C++. I remember how much easier delphi was than mfc. I got out of developing when they started dumbing down the tools further (why didn’t you die, java… C#, etc.) Electron can’t die in a dumpster fire fast enough.

Don’t start me on teams. I’d say the same for o365 though. Hard to believe these products make me want work to go back to lotus notes, domino, sametime…

That’s really the biggest problem I think Linux has, unfortunately it’s also one of Linux’s best features - it’s not a uniform experience. Yours won’t be the same as mine, etc.

Some things that should be simple aren’t, and sometimes getting things going can be frustrating, and you will without question at some point have to troubleshoot and fix something.

I’m fortunate that I have a lot of background and experience in the industry, and I can understand people don’t want to go to that trouble, just like people don’t want to learn to cook.

Most things in Linux I find these days do plug and play to some degree, but there is absolutely missing effort and/or openness from the hardware vendors. Like not being able to configure macro keys/extra mouse buttons without a windows vm.

Having said that, I found the way windows was going, adding crap into the os that I don’t want, and constantly changing where settings are etc. Changing my defaults, and so on. There’s just too much I don’t like about the way it’s managed. Also, winsecure.

Well I suppose they were right. Windows 10 was the last version of Windows for me. I’m okay with not using what little only works on windows. Unless you need something more niche/specialised, windows isn’t worth the pain.

Oh my mistake, I was saying my take was paranoid.

That answer would be a lot more obvious if the erosion started with the rich.

I’d not be surprised if they just had some other way to obtain the data, that’s more reliable anyway. By legislating against it, maybe they dodge some contractual obligations idk, there’s a million possibilities. That’s a paranoid perspective.

In reality, I assume if I’m on the internet, or out in public, something somewhere is probably collecting data on me. Maybe that data is being linked somewhere, maybe it isn’t. I believe privacy will be history soon. I think this will ultimately be a good thing.

What an interesting and extremely limiting perspective. I’m not a in the writing industry, I’ll do my best.

Two writers write the same article, beginning at the same time. One uses a quill, ink and blotting paper. The other, vi. Is the one using a PC less of a writer for using the tool to make it easier?

The pc crashes so they end up finishing the article at the same time anyway.

The handwritten one is then delivered to an editing teams intray. The pc one, is thrown to an AI for preliminary editing, and instantly the writer checks/corrects edits. Repeat as necessary and submit for approval.

There is room for AI in writing, but I think writing by only humans will be more diverse and therefore enjoyable.

e: somehow dragged a line to the wrong place… Need an editor :p

Let’s not forget water… And eventually, oxygen… But keep buying/selling those trinkets people, for the economy.

And well, how much of these resource estimates leave enough for other life too, or does all other life just exist to feed us?..

Oh absolutely, people gonna keep being people. The truth seems to be that we don’t really know, but it’s likely somewhere between 4 and 16 from the little bit of reading up I just did.

I think that there are a lot of 8 billion people who would disagree with comfortably well. That number needs to be closer to two, to be sustainable with earth’s resources. At least that’s my understanding, not disappointed if wrong.

Your ebike is also spying, probably.

They’ve already used the name, might as well go all in at this point.

So they can put AI in everything and slurp all your data. Well at least, they don’t say they aren’t doing that.

Going by the poll 1:9 people actually feel this way, probably should have added a /s.
