None. I was never invested in it very heavily. I had one channel that I was a pretty involved member on but the whole “you don’t have to tell them how old you are, they’re going to use an algorithm and your usage patterns to deduce it,” I was just haha no, fuck that, and I quit.

Stop using Windows. Stop using Discord.

Yep. On it almost a year now, ever since 10 was EOL’d and I learned Discord was building a profile on every user based on usage.

Linux has been awesome and Discord mostly sucked anyway.

It would only happen because of their sense of self-preservation. They can build all the bunkers they want but there is no way to be completely independent of the giant external machine that keeps us all alive. Even if you were a nihilist like your average billionaire, you can’t just say fuck everybody else, I got mine. You depend on food being grown and delivered, you depend on drugs being made and doctors and dentists to fix you up. You depend on a billion people not actively seeking your death. You depend, most of all, on money not being worthless. If nobody has money but you, then you also have no money.

but communities and farms still use unsustainable amounts of water.

I’m so tired of hearing this load of shit. “Communities” use TWENTY PERCENT of all the water consumed in Arizona. That includes all the horrible, wasteful, golf courses everybody hates except golfers. TWENTY PERCENT.

Farms and industry use EIGHTY PERCENT of all the water used in Arizona. HALF of the resultant production from this water usage is shipped out of the country in order to generate PROFITS.

👉But I’ll give you three fucking guesses as to who is going to have water restrictions levied against them.👈

Just like Republicans always mouthing off about the welfare queens, as their orange moron doubles the national debt. They get to take it all and turn around and shit on everybody else for being the problem, as per usual.

Never realized they kinda look like the Recognizers from Tron.

I loved GTA 3, the first one I ever played and bonus, Vice City was even better! I thought GTA 4 was OK - not great, not terrible. I hated GTA 5. Similarly, I loved RDR and hated RDR 2 (I know I basically stand alone on this one).

Personally I feel like Rockstar is on a trajectory. My interest in 6 is in negative numbers. It’s not like I don’t like the genre. I love Cyberpunk, but even that I didn’t buy until I managed to get it on sale for $20.

I might consider getting GTA 6 if it goes on sale for $5, which it won’t. Hell, they still want $20 for 4 lol. Money grubbing shits.

I know, right? They must have built it really solidly. Except for the whole falling down bit.

I don’t know why. It’s not like her resume otherwise is nothing but bangers.

Probably better to be able to just hide your plate at will.

Except insurance has basically decided it doesn’t need to actually pay for the most part.

Huh. I kind of liked it. I’ve only seen a few episodes, I don’t watch a lot of TV, but Phoebe particularly cracked me up.

Sure, although I would phrase it I think a bit more pointedly: “it has become impossible to tell managers mesmerized by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, capable of what they imagine they are capable of.”

This points, rightly, at it being a failure on the part of the managers - not artificial intelligence. And God knows that’s spot fucking on.

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful.

This is stupid. The tools are helpful. Overhyped? Sure. But to pretend they are in no way helpful is just wrong.

I just moved to lemmy.zip from dbzer0 and before that, world, mainly because I want to be the one blocking, I don’t want my instance to block for me. I must not be subscribed to the right places, because I just don’t see a whole lot of CCP/RUS apologia? I’m pretty good at passing over shit I know I won’t agree with though, so it might just not be registering.

Bethesda on point with a course correction already! Damn son, slow your roll. A new logo? Shit, fuck the Elder Scrolls, we got a new logo.
