He doesn’t have the authority to do a lot of things, but nobody is going to stop him.

The fun part is when you need to talk to HR you go to their website and it says “if you need to contact us reach out to your HR partner.” and doesn’t even give you a phone number or email.

Some people need synopsis reviews to fully understand what they watched. I use them all the time for things I have watched. If you make these things illegal, I will simply not consume your content anymore. There are plenty of other forms of entertainment to spend my money on.

Two notes about piracy that these Neanderthals keep failing to understand. If somebody pirates your content they likely weren’t going to pay for it anyway, and if somebody reads a synopsis they either weren’t going to consume your content or they already have and want to know more.

Piracy is a service problem. People pirate because you are not providing something they need. Instead of punishing people for being human, you should try and figure out what you are not providing and fix that instead.

With that said, the real point of the lawsuit is that the site operator profited with ads. That is a separate discussion.

Banks are hilarious. They use YOUR money to invest and make more money, then they have the audacity to give you paltry interest. Meanwhile they charge a percentage of a sale for processing that has a flat constant amount of processing power used. It costs them the same to process a $1 transaction and a $10,000,000, but they have the gall to charge 1.5% for both. Sure you can argue that the 1.5% is to cover overdrafts and nonpayment, but if you pay the bill in full you should be refunded the extra.

Not the worst idea I’ve seen. I imagine the increased air circulation would help prevent some cheese. Obviously this would not be for the people who like high dpi + high weight mice.

3. Because the company gets some tax breaks from the county by having asses in seats.
4. Related to 1, your boss made poor real estate decisions pre-covid and wants to recoup that loss.
5. Most CEOs are older and don’t want to understand the newer WFH dynamic.
6. Management does not trust the employees they hired.

The US music industry has always been bullshit, going all the way back to record labels. I would feel bad for the artists, but I don’t give two shits about the distributor who acts like they own the music and feels entitled to all monetary rewards for someone else’s work.

HR has always been the laziest bunch of fuckers in a company, so it is not surprising they want to use AI.

Starcraft 2 is super fun as a randomizer in the RTS format, but I do want to see more done with that IP. The problem is, like you, I will never give Blizzard a single penny ever again.

I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.

So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.

Curious how the US tries to spread democracy externally when democracy has all but died internally.

Having a prime number in the box makes fights more likely since it isnt divisible. If you are sharing, somebody is going to miss out.

The cost of a 2 bedroom apartment has doubled over the last decade. Groceries are up 50% and I have found that the food I buy is spoiling way before the best by date, as if stores are not properly handling their merchandise due to cut regulations.

Despite getting small yearly raises my spending power has not increased at all.

I do think lawns need maintenance but not every Monday morning at 6AM holy shit fuck you lawnmowers.

He also looks strangely Russian…

Im fairly quick to block, especially if the person is clearly acting with bad intent. Id rather have slow and steady high quality content than mediocre garbage every few seconds. Social media does not consume my life and I lived in the era of forums. I am used to waiting for good content.

A friendly reminder that generating electricity is the cheapest it has ever been.

Another reminder that power companies are being incentivized by the current administration to NOT to make their energy grids better.

This is what the Republicans voted for and what the Democratic party allowed to happen by putting forth their worst candidates.

If it works I will not be picky.

Exactly my thought. I got into software development because designing and writing good code is fun. It is almost a game to see how well you can optimize it while keeping it maintainable. Why would I let something else do that for me? I am a software engineer, not a prompt writer.
