I don’t think we have the technology to instantly change someones gender by penetrating them

honestly it’d be cool as hell if humans could do this

this is the part that really baffles me, though I guess I can’t expect much from the class that seems to be literally incapable of foresight.

Like say AI actually does get there. Some company is able to crack human consciousness and we get truly intelligent AI, good enough to replace your workforce with… that AI isn’t going to be free. It’s going to be a monthly fee for your business. and then when you’re fully reliant on AI, when skilled labor is simply too difficult to cultivate any further, it’s going to inevitably enshittify. These corpos will end up slaves to the AI company.

It’s like they fundamentally cannot see that they are giving up control. They’re so fucking stupid.

One of my friends actually does this as a side-gig. She’s a very experienced DM for many different game systems, and I’d say consistently offers a great experience. She mostly gets hired to do events though, like running tables for MagicCon or the local queer tabletop society. I’ve never personally heard of someone like posting up at a lgs and offering to DM for strangers in exchange for money, but sounds fine to me. DMing is a lot of hard work, there’s absolutely no incentive to be good at it for strangers, and demand for super casual but professionally led tabletop experiences seems to be at an all time high. You’re still allowed to do things the traditional way and have a friend DM for your group, this is just an option for the tourists who want to spend an afternoon together having a TTRPG experience.

that’s why you communicate via radio waves to other life in the area and build a network

past me is an asshole, and future me is a chump.

Gachiakuta is the latest and greatest example of this I think. Such a fancy power system, basically Stands from JoJo, but you feel shock when a character shows up with a regular ass glock and starts firing.

Yeah, getting PIA running without the native client has been a bit rough. These days I’ve just gotten use to starting a terminal as soon as I log-in, but I probably need a more permanent solution. maybe it’ll be switching to cachy as well.

Yup, and every time I have to deal with Windows bullshit at work, I get a little bit happier that I don’t have to deal with it when I go home.

holy shit those last few seconds of actual gameplay. game looks a lot like the Dawn of War series, which is fitting. I wasn’t really sure 40k could fit the Total War mould, but seems like CA is willing to break the mould in pursuit of more money.

“Eeyup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here. Well, it’s a long story, but it all started when my ancestors decided to leave the ocean”

I can think of some ways to get it scratched

even if it’s not immediately used in a coercive manner, who’s to say it will remain that way? It’s the kinda thing that fascists would immediately abuse the second they got power. Leftists gaining a majority and implementing UBI doesn’t mean they’d be able to hold a majority.

At this point I think democracy as a concept is just broken, and I’m not sure how to solve it. Too many people are easily duped into voting against their own interests.

okay so the Magikarp swims up the waterfall…

closed source instead of open source nvidia driver.

This is where the problem really began. though afaik, you can get a version of the bazzite distro with the closed source nvidia drivers already installed, so did you select a different one? Nvidia gave me nothing but issues when I was trying to migrate to Linux though. Ever since I switched to AMD, it’s been smooth sailing.

More said they were voting against him than voting for either party’s nominees for governor, according to the exits.

And this is the part that scares me. Because Democrats are going to take this as a mandate that their corporate policies are popular with the people, when the truth is that the American people just want anything else. If people aren’t actually getting excited to vote for them now, they probably won’t be excited for vote for them again in 2032 after four years of milquetoast Dems controlling the presidency and maybe the Senate or House. Material conditions will continue to worsen, people will once again forget how awful things were under Trump, and they will choose fascism again.

I worry that the US is already doomed to repeat a very stupid cycle. The only win Dems should really be focusing on is Mamdani’s, because those voters were actually excited to vote for Mamdani. I have strong suspicions that any lessons will be learned by the party from him though.

Ding Dong the Dick is Dead

It’s not going to sound fun, but if you’re looking for something useful that will bolster your application, the answer for all compsci degrees is business.

I honestly expect this to be a bigger reason SNAP benefits get continued than the lawsuit recently filed. Trump has been capitulating to monied interests, it was the reason there wasn’t another blitz with the Guard on San Fran, and it’s been a big reason why he’s been walking back tariffs. If his big donors say “Hey, you can’t cut benefits or our profits will go down” he’ll likely capitulate.

Not at all.

I miss the old days when people weren’t so insanely entitled. Developers can make whatever game they want. People can play it if they want to. That’s how the relationship works.
