Haha thanks, I did double check this wasn’t just about video games first. :9

I’ve got a deck of cards in my coffee table that I like to play solitaire on. I keep tweaking the house rules to make it more fun.

Actually I’m not sure I’d call it “fun” so much as “relaxing.” But I do enjoy myself.

I don’t rightly know, sir

Ear-wormiest game I ever played, that

Just a little light annexation humour

Wow what a colourful combo of assholery and cowardice. Brava! 👏🏻👏🏻

What’s a loony-toons gaming community?

Bust a Move was pretty fun

Aside: Are “AI Boosters” the Real Disadvantaged-Marginalised-Subaltern Party?

No, and this is an extremely suspicious framing. The largest structural and monetary support ever leveraged is being put behind “AI” rollout. […] Pushing back against it is what involves sticking out your neck.

Great article. Still working through it, but full of excellent, clearheaded points like this.

Ashamed of my so-called country.

That also means resisting the temptation to make ourselves indispensable. Being the person everyone has to call when something breaks can feel like a sign that we are contributing something important, but […] the goal should be to make ourselves increasingly unnecessary by making the knowledge we carry increasingly available to other people.

What a beautiful sentiment. Very well said.

To my chagrin, I’ve seen the “private sector” learning this lesson very well, with the practice of codifying configurations of machines and networks in “infrastructure as code” documents. Though these still require special training to decipher and apply, they make people (or workers) much easier to replace.

Although, I’m not sure I want reproduce the patterns I’ve learned from the corporate world, I’m curious if there’s merit to using some of this technology to make infrastructure more easily "spin-up-able. " Or maybe SH hardware will vary too much to make something like OpenTofu useful in a non-cloud setting.

That’s-a more like it! Usually I do click through to the studies, but this article was such soft-serve I doubted it was worth it

Why does this feel so weak? I’m not doubting “ultra processed” foods (which are very poorly defined in the article) are unhealthy, they don’t really make a case for why they now think they’re extra extra deadly now.

The people reddit is banning is really just sending us their best people. Welcome.

It is disappointing knowing it actually works some of the time. I guess I just don’t care. I have my lines and I don’t cross them.

I’m sure there are some great uses of Microsoft software or Nvidia hardware, but I’m not going to use them unless forced to by work.

I felt that way until I just stopped using it entirely

Could’ve sure used this back in the day

I’m nuanced and I’m on lemmy. Try me

The gamefeel on those cane mechanics 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😩

It is? Like where? Not any of the videos I see.
