  • Maybe an un-based take, but these questions do have ambiguous answers, and I don't know if we should expect a machine to give an answer without nuance. If you just want the AI to say yes or no, ask something like, "Was Hitler bad?" or "Is slavery unethical?" and you will much more likely get straightforward answers.

  • Not sure if it counts as a first day, but a third interview had me gone. I was quite late and they told me I was out of the running. Reasonable enough, but the company was in the middle of a move, so this interview was in a different location across town from the first two, and the only indication of where it was taking place was a tiny sign stuck in the ground. I must have circled the parking lot 10 times.

    It was for the best because I later learned the work conditions there were rotten.

  • Bashing denizens who decide to denote their sarcasm is as /stupid as bashing those who don't. "Oh no, now that the tone has been set the point is ruined!" Gosh, it must suck to be you, I'm genuinely sorry this is the way your brain works.

  • I do agree that $10 is more in line with what I'd expect personally, but to be fair you have a few options before getting to that point.

    If you know you're going to be using Sync and staying on Lemmy, you have no problem.

    If you're staying on Lemmy but just trying Sync, you can just use the app with ads for a while to try it out, or you could subscribe to the monthly subscription which is like $2 a month, and if you are still using it 10 months later then it's clearly worth the cost to you.

    Or if you don't like ads and you don't like subscriptions and you're not attached to Sync, you probably just move on to another app!

  • A few points to make and answer:

    1. The app is technically free, but yes it is made by a single dev and it is/was his income, so it's ad-supported.
    2. The development is still ongoing and so some things aren't finalized, but there is a one time payment option that will be available (something like $10) to just remove ads.
    3. The Ultra tier which has the subscription cost (and much higher one time cost at $99) is what incurs monthly fees in this case, mostly for cloud storage for things like settings and I believe an OCR and translation API.

    Ultimately, use whatever makes you happy and aligns with your principles, but there are at least a few good reasons why it is how it is.

  • I could be misremembering and I'm not going to look it up right now, but I believe Payday 2 lost to corpo greed long ago when they added a bunch of microtransactions. There was also something about the original devs being screwed over if memory serves.

  • It is narrated, "eventually, the Kens would go on to have the same power in Barbieland that women have in the real world" (paraphrased). It's basically kind of a joke and, perhaps more specifically, a reminder that positive change doesn't happen overnight. I think it would be a bit... antithetical to spend the whole movie exploring the issues with a supposedly perfect system and then end by saying "okay we fixed it everything is perfect now".
