It’s never good enough

I would give this kind-of-opposite answer, if otherwise my answer would be far, far longer.

If someone asks which ice cream flavours you like and you can just say “Raspberry I don’t like, that’s it”, no need to go through hundreds of options.

It’s why I always go for vanilla the first time at an ice cream place.

You mean to tell me a crab tomato egg fried this stir?

Yeah I wish it was a more common understanding that your code files are just documents that describe the processes of your business.

If you have a process that nobody dares to touch anymore because it’s too messy, you have a document that holds part of your business hostage.

It forces you to stagnate in the areas described by the document, and you can work around that for quite a while, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t do any harm.

You’re lucky to have kinda the opposite of my situation.

I used a second hand office machine with a low power graphics card added, because that came out quite cheap. Until about 2 years ago, when I saw that really good looking cases, with the glass and LEDs and everything, are quite affordable now, got one for 60 bucks, I think.

The problem was that that office machine was not made to be upgradeable. Power supply that delivered pretty much exactly what the current parts needed and no more, with custom connectors to the mainboard.

So I thought ok, I do it in steps, after all that’s the whole point that that’s possible. Start by getting a nice modern bequiet PSU, and finding a more standard motherboard, that fit with my CPU and RAM. In some obscure webshop no less, because stuff is old, I’m working with DDR2 here.

And the plan was that later I would look at upgrading motherboard+CPU+RAM, because I’d have to do those together.

And then the data centers happened.

I’m just lucky that the old machine was a beast for its time - the back then impressive 16GB RAM are still decent now. Battlefield the WW1 one ran fine, that game where you upgrade your jeep was too laggy - gotta be a bit more selective about what I run now, because my upgrade plans are on ice until we storm the data centers.

Not rage, more disapproval or disgust. And I had to think why it’s so unsettling first, but I think I got it:

Because of the vanity of making it about themselves.

Doesn’t help that most of the time they get so many upvotes exactly because so many people think the same thing. Simplified, someone posts “what is your favorite color”, and they get thousands of upvotes on a comment that says “red”. That’s not about cumguzzler69’s comment writing career.

But no, this is their peaking in highschool moment, gotta make thousands more read some useless fluff text showing they are under the impression everybody thinks they are so great that it warrants an award speech.

That’s why it’s not the same if it’s a long comment where somebody put some real effort into explaining something from their area of expertise, and things like that.

If your unpopular opinion is that you said exactly what you meant, yes

Ugh now you just made them sound like those incels who think correcting someone’s language is flirting, that it makes them appear smart and that that’s attractive in any way

I mean, I understand the first 15 minute talk with some hiring manager, before the real interview, to align rough expectations and filter out absolute zeroes without bothering the skilled workers. I wouldn’t want to talk to all of them either when I got work to do.

But yeah it’s crazy out there.

I don’t think the very best thing we can imagine is gonna happen, but you know what does seem more realistic for that reason?

A dystopian horror where they keep him (barely) alive while he’s suffering immensely because they need him as figurehead, in order to continue their fascism. Yes it would be poetic justice for him, but it’s not gonna make anybody else’s life better.

What makes you smoke tobacco is a character flaw maybe, but tobacco is also often used in perfumes/eau de colognes/etc.

Certainly makes one look like a but‡ead

People who consider themselves “more intelligent than normies” do exactly fit my assumption of who is into that shit

It doesn’t make you smarter though. It just makes you able to read this one person’s post with less headache.

If you’re in love with them, you probably should, otherwise meh

I now start seeing a trend that boobs are censored. Like, not naked boobs, but literally just the chest area of fully clothed women.

And from previous experiences with censorship, that’s just gonna be a thing now probably. Absurd.

On a positive note, the research and development from AAA studios also usually advances the industry as a whole.

The people who do that are proud of their work and give talks about how they achieved things. Something like power wash simulator kinda just would be a lot less fun on pre-doom graphics, or even on PS1 graphics.

Yeah in also confused why they think it was a generic script - the story as a whole wasn’t lifted from any of the games AFAIK, but it followed along definitly-RE plot points.

Plus it was cool to see those things in real instead of not PS1/PS2 graphics, but ok that’s not about the story.

BECAUSE THAT WAS MY WHOLE POINT! NOTHING ELSE!

You have made it clear that you feel entitled to drag people into that discussion, but that’s simply delusional.

“The anti-AI movement” doesn’t exist, stop being a drama queen, bye.
