If there's anything I've learned from my fiance, it's that there's both nothing wrong with a piece of media being for younger audiences and theres nothing wrong with consuming stuff meant for younger audiences.

Shit, Prodigy is endlessly shilled by folks on Mastodon with 18+ only in their banners.

This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.

Of the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you're right they're all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.

That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies

Lots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you'd have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.

There's an author I've become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that's just where the masses are still and it's hard to break that momentum.

I'm sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the "counter terrorists" on Dust 2 as well.

It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev

Makes sense. The government probably didn't want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.

New Player: "My Wizard casts fireball targeting the king!"

Me: "Actually that doesn't happen y-"

NP: "Did a hidden wizard cast counter spell! I can-"

Me: "No I just won't let you do that. Try to ruin our game again and I'll ban you from the discord."

Np: "Oh."

There are so many pieces of media that need much slower pacing. The Sequel Star wars movies for one.

An AI project that's ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain't so!

Checked the videos you posted

This is just a ChatGPT front end isn't it?

More I'm even more curious what you're doing here. Are you selling access to your own API key for $30? Why LMAO

Okay so it's something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.

How is it processing the data?

Where am I getting the data?

What is it doing to the data?

Who is paying me for processed data?

Linux everywhere and then Windows VM labeled "Shitty Spyware Do Not Open"

Myself and Sasquatch.

I wonder if steam considers this can evasion.

TBH, if it's free I don't care if the reviews are rigged so long as it's not to hide that it's a crypto miner or something. But when money is involved I care a lot.

As an office IT guy, a vast majority of office jobs could be done by nearly anyone. If they just stopped requiring a college degree to do those jobs and trained people, I think the vast majority of office work will be done

That being said, HR would rather import people with H1Bs, drastically under pay them, and create another layer of class division but separating themselves from the brown people offices to work at the new executive offices or do full WFH forever then admit a college degree was always a class tax to move from working to might class.

I could see that as a privacy measure.

Everything on Lemmy is open anyways but maybe the maintainer didn't want to be the guy to make Lemmy data that accessible. So it's a limitation. You can only have Lemmy data if you are hosting the server and the community.

That's not a bad call.

There's fortunately pretty tech literate people at both locations. I can walk them through most of it with very little a long the lines of finger puppets and crayons.

That's me! Gotta love Spectrum baby!

I actually got into this because I used to have sporadic hour+ long Internet outages when I was trying to watch all of Star Trek.

15 minutes drive to my MIL and 4 hours to my own Mom.

My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he's recovering from surgery and I'm at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it's only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.

Hell yeah
