Do you condemn KHHAAMAS?

Looks more like an egg to me

I haven’t tried it yet, but GrayJay purports to be an aggregator along those lines: https://grayjay.app/

Barely enough for the OS and one app

It’s worth checking out Louis Rossmann’s take too: https://youtu.be/TF4zH8bJDI8

I rarely ever find myself disagreeing with either of them, so this is an interesting situation.

Edit: This is also a good take about live service, separate from the “Stop Killing Games” initiative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO38QvKraTQ

At the risk of playing into the stereotype: But what about Ut Gravida?

I’m gonna piggyback on this to make a related point:

If you take it down from +15 points to +14 points, that’s gonna cost the GOP more money next time around. You don’t have to win your state to make an impact. If you can make it more expensive to win your state, that takes funds away from their campaigns in other states.

(And if you make it cheaper for Democrats to win your state, that frees up funds for campaigns in other states.)

Jesse Ventura

Oh hey, a 1-day-old account posting 6 vegan posts in 1 hour to unrelated communities. I’ve seen this one before.

This image is the most Reddit drama I’ve seen on Lemmy in many months. Skill issue?

Perfecting his argument.

But how does this happen?

It’s destined to happen, according to Normal Accident Theory.

Aren’t there programming teams and check their code or pass it to a quality assurance staff to see if it bricked their own machines?

Yes, there are probably a gigantic number of tests, reviews, validation processes, checkpoints, sign-offs, approvals, and release processes. The dizzying number of technical components and byzantine web of organizational processes was probably a major factor in how this came to pass.

Their solution will surely be to add more stage-gates, roles, teams, and processes.

As Tim Harford puts it at the end of this episode about “normal accidents”… “I’m not sure Galileo would agree.”

First show was probably Voltron. First film was probably Vampire Hunter D.

Toonami became a big part of my life, and there was a small theater downtown that did showings of Miyazaki and such. I remember seeing Metropolis there, too.

I owe a lot to those scrappy little enterprises, taking a gamble that there would be an audience for this stuff.

is a helluva drug

It’s wild how we went from…

Critics: “Crypto is an energy hog and its main use case is a convoluted pyramid scheme”

Boosters: “Bro trust me bro, there are legit use cases and energy consumption has already been reduced in several prototype implementations”

…to…

Critics: “AI is an energy hog and its main use case is a convoluted labor exploitation scheme”

Boosters: “Bro trust me bro, there are legit use cases and energy consumption has already been reduced in several prototype implementations”

So why take the heat off of AI, as if profiting from mass plagiarism is different when it has an API instead of flesh and bone?

Right, but the technology has the system’s philosophy baked into it. All inventions encourage a certain way of seeing the world. It’s not a coincidence that agriculture yields land ownership, mass production yields wage labor, or in this case fuzzy plagiarism machines yield a transhuman death cult.

Considering most new technology these days is merely a distilation of the ethos of the big corporations, how do you distinguish?
