And we drink that beer while we are waiting for our brandy and whisky drinks to show up.

As a sconie, I came here to say this.

We live in the timeline where The Onion is real.

It was physics and battery sizes to blame for why we have drifted from the 5 GHz x86 CPU to the 32 core x86 CPU. I never thought the rush to ARM/RISC-V would be because Intel and AMD are run by morons.

I was all excited until I saw that its all just glitches. I thought maybe part of this would be real play but heck at this point why not just run on an emulator and set the PC register to the point where the end game cutscene starts?

Twilight was the most “theater kids being theater kids” movie ever. The entire movie was people over acting as if that’s what makes you a vampire. I kept waiting for Jon Lovitz to walk by yelling “ACTING!!!”

Totally agree. None of these are great solutions. I buy mostly from GOG as they tend to be the best backup option. I would never do a game subscription.

The one upside with steam is that you can access the files. If the company was going down or changing policy you can take the latest installers/game files and back them up.

There are a few games I’ve bought on steam and installed on my retro console because of this setup.

It really isn’t difficult to get into telcom systems as there are many countries with almost no requirements to sign up as a telco.

Gay Caesar is an awesome name!

My plan is to move away from things that can be tracked as much as possible. Dropping Android when I can no longer get GraphineOS working, moving to a dumb phone and a data hotspot with a cyberdeck the size of a phone.

The gov won’t listen on these issues because it is a law giving them more power. No amount of protesting is going to get them to stop spying because it is all supose to be secret anyway.

Yeah just looked it up, to finish off California its on day 128. If it was an arcade it would have cost me like $5 to $10 in quarters to beat.

Just beat it on the NES the other day. Even after the 120 levels it took to get to the end it still felt great smashing stuff.

With the New Testament in mind the post is even more bogus.

Not one jot or tiddle of the old law will be gotten rid of until Jesus comes back during end times. So said Jesus. Green text is on point.

I don’t think there would be much of a pressure change. All the outies would become innie lowering the pressure and all the innies becoming outies would bring it back up.

Maybe your ears might pop.

The “problem” is that I will play on my retropi on my TV put when I am out somewhere and have my handheld my saves don’t automatically transfer.

Pesonally I use syncthing between all my devices. Save on my TV and I can load the save game on my handheld.

got two handhelds and a console on my TV syncing to my VPS so I can go from my home to portable with no effort

What I have noticed thispast year is that higher ups aren’t really understanding the total cost of AI solutions. They go use sites to have conversations with the most powerful LLMs not realizing that your company is not going to afford that level of tech. Your current IT infrastucture can’t add a few dozen high power/high cost systems to train the model for your business’s nuance. It is never a build it and forget it problem.

Additionally there is a skill of humans being easily retrained for other tasks. Creating a Jack of All Trades will net you a great workforce with people filling roles when you have medical leave, turnover and business pivots. AI isn’t general enough to make this change without major redesign.

The only “problem” with this amazing skill is that companies no longer run on the idea of employee retention. You get promoted by jumping ship. Working harder doesn’t make the headway in a company like it used to 25+ years ago.

Heck, most of them don’t know anything about anything and are just repeating talking points. I had a super conservative coworker go on a rant once which happened to be 100% false. It was so wrong that had they written it down they would most definitely have used the wrong your/you’re.

But most people aren’t malicious. Rather, most are dumb and incompetent which causes most of the issues. They don’t think about the sequence of events required to get a multi-person project completed. They don’t think about how many people are behind them and that when you are slow or late to get your job done or you do it poorly that it affects others.

I can think of numerous times when the first few people in a project took their sweet ass time getting their part done while not working after hours causing me to have to stay late because I was the last step and had a hard deadline. This type of shit happened regardless of our proximity.
