You want to know the absolute stupidest thing. The main train station in my area is being redeveloped, which is great, but the problem is it's taking forever and in meantime there are no services to the station at all.

So they have taken a functioning station, and under the guise of upgrading it, have shut it down. The only train service available now is the Grand Central to London, and that's because they route it through a village station as its primary station, because that makes sense.

Have they tried actually doing anything about it?

The extent of cycle infrastructure in this country is limited exclusively to painting a white line on the side of an already existing road. Whenever it gets complicated just give up and start again on the other side of the junction, hopefully the cyclists figure it out for themselves. And of course everyone knows that potholes only improve the cycling experience so no need to worry about them.

I believe war thunder considers these people to be band ambassadors. After all, we're talking about it.

Well if anywhere is a time cube it is Brighton. Of course all the current souls in there were trapped in the '80s, so you'd have to decant them first.

They also have control over conventional weapons. I don't think we're any more or less in danger because AI exists.

You mean a civil war? No chance, there isn't really any wedge issue that anyone cares enough about for that to happen.

You've got general government incompetents but that's nothing new.

How the hell do they even have 100 employees to fire? The game is basically a UE5 demo project.

Is he the one that sounds like he smokes 30 packs a day?

So we have firearms but they seem to sell pretty well.

It doesn't have to be nice to make it not a bubble.

This is a PR issue. For some bizarre reason they decided that game preservation should be independent of the right to repair movement a movement that had fairly significant momentum by the time they started talking about games preservation. So for some insane reason they separated the two concepts in people's minds and that resulted in nobody caring.

Then they decided to whine about the fact that it was unsuccessful despite the fact that they'd essentially done everything they could to kneecap the movement.

So how is that different?

I don't understand, the arguement is whether or not they should have equated this to the right to repair movement, and then you say you think that's a bad idea but I don't understand your justification. Your justification seems to be that people don't care about software, but my if they do not care about software, then they also do not care about hardware, and therefore your comment is irrelevant.

I literally don't understand your justification for not equating game preservation to right to repair.

Why are you being intentionally disingenuous?

I will say it again just so it's stated.
People are not going to move to another service unless they can obviously see the benefit in moving to that service. People who are not technically inclined (that doesn't mean stupid) are not going to see the benefit.

Don't be rude about people you don't know anything about. Don't insult their intelligence just because they're not as interested in a very niche area of technology as you are.

People are already talking about to right to repair, so why not take advantage of that, why make life more difficult for yourself than it needs to be?

If they are anything like the leadership at my company they have received plenty of information about what AI can do from that IT, but you see they went to this convention in Las Vegas and some self-styled "business guru" told them everything they wanted to hear.

They go on about long-term investment and then you find out that what they're actually talking about is things that will start returning a profit in 6 months. Half a year is long-term to them.

If you have a long-term view and want to make quite a lot of money you probably couldn't do better than shorting Apple stock. They never innovate anymore (every iPhone is literally the same as the previous years), and they spend huge amounts of money on failed projects (Vision Pro), meanwhile they continue not to fix ongoing serious issues (Safari).

But politicians will actually be prepared to get behind right to repair. But they regard games as a bit infantile, and don't really want to be involved. A point that was made right at the start of all of this and was then completely ignored.

The update log essentially seems to be look at these nice clouds I don't think we've seen any actual gameplay yet at all

Is it really task automation if it does it worse than a drunk human could have done it?

Maybe they're just getting the wrong people to provide training data. The kind of people who drive Tesla's do tend to drive like morons, so it would make sense.

" It's not that hard really all you have to do is be around people who already want to move over". Yeah thanks for that advice.

I have a very similar strategy to being rich, step one is to be rich already. Simplicity itself.
