I don’t give a shit what they’re on, killing them slowly vs quickly is still killing them.

And it’s crazy we just accept that! It is not normal to simply accept that people die on the streets every day!

No. They almost killed a pedestrian. Let them go kill themselves if they want to rebel like that alone on a private dirt track.

Looks like 4 douchebags who think they’re the main characters

Didn’t realize you made the rules

Ah, the discord approach

My discord account itself is 11 years old now, most of my accounts are, but they still need to age check me. What did I set it up which n I was 4?

Yeah I’ve tried to convince family and friends of the dangers, that it’s not tinfoil hat anymore that is is happening and can’t get through. Some have come over, but most will continue to use everything.

There are hundreds of things a city could do that she may not care about. There are signs, bollards, protective barriers, and notices. Then on top of that going to the store she probably had to cross it once and didn’t stop to think about maybe she should just go tomorrow. This is on her.

I can’t afford groceries but thanks for a racist knockoff of a game that came out decades before I was born, sweet.

We would also have a ton of random YouTube videos that they’d be copy streaming left and right.

Like others say, and then all is always still there. I just switch to it once in a while, like if I burned through my whole feed. Usually a couple new communities to sub to, then switch back.

I’ve been doing that, I use kubernetes, so kagent. Sammy at first but it calmed down. It’s neat to have it auto triage something that went down or failed, parse the logs, look at the hardware and health and then tell me when it’s time.

GPUs are sparse but I run on a 3090, VRAM is king. If you have one for a server it’s not horrible to spin up an llm

I think that’s what I’m trying to say though, is rockstar is one if only two that actually may be worth it, and that’s only if they meet a red dead 2 level of relplayability.

I break things down by hours of enjoyment vs cost. So let’s say a movie ticket is 2 hour a for $20 now. So $10/hr. Pretty high. Ubisoft games are $60 and it takes about $60 hours, but I’ll only play it once probably. So $1/hr. Much better than a movie theater but then there’s red dead 2. $60 originally, but I’ve played now 5 times at 120 hours a play through, so 600 hours. (I did not plan for the math to work out that easily, but it’s accurate). So 600 hours, so $0.10/hr. So to me and my personal math, $100 is justified, even twice, if I will be playing it over and over.

It’s also why I truly laugh and shame ubisoft for thinking they deserve the same. There’s absolutely no way it does. It’s 1/10th the value of a rockstar game.

Just subscribe to communities. I never understand why people go through this hassle of trying to block out everything they don’t like instead of just opting into things they do.

If I go that route it won’t be day one, which means some reviews will come in. This is looking like it may be near RDR2 levels, if it is and reviews confirm it, I could see then deciding to and buying a second copy on PC later.

I would only do that for rockstar and cdpr, honestly because both have made games previously that have been worth it. I get downvoted to hell, but honestly a game like rdr2 is worth $100, even twice over. It’s a masterpiece. Same with cyberpunk for me. If the reviews come in and people say it’s truly a masterpiece, I could be swayed. But that is a pretty high bar.

I’ve been thinking that actually, but they’re overpriced now. But maybe a month or two after release, we’ll see

Yes and no. I use llama server to run my own local models, and then open ice to monitor it. From there a lot of open source services host MCP servers which then can help integrate. I then use it to auto write the documentation on the layout so next time when I say “go to the ZigBee controller and tell me…” It knows first go to the docs, it remembers where it is and any useful commands, then continues on.

I’ve learned that’s just kind of Microsoft’s thing. Whenever they have a product that might actually be a “disruptor” they figure out a way to shoot themselves in the foot.

• iPod landed but lacked video. Microsoft makes the Zune and it was awesome, but clunky software and a boxy shape made it fall, and they killed it before a needed v2.
• Xbox & Xbox 360 had Microsoft riding high, and then they ignored gamers and threw away their target market with the Xbox One
• Hololens promised true AR gaming, and they threw that out before they even made a consumer version.
• Mixed Reality followed Hololens, was genuinely a cheaper VR alternative, had one myself. Then they silently killed it before reducing the hardware to ewaste a couple of years later.
• Windows 7 was their best OS after XP, so of course they change everything about it to make Windows 8
• Skype was the only video calling service that people regularly used, and they bloated it and enshittified it, causing it to collapse just a few years before Covid, allowing Zoom to take over.
• Cortana had genuinely more functionality than Alexa, but they stopped investing in it, forced it down everyone’s throats, then sunset it, leaving ewaste speakers.

(and so many more)

They either come up with a good idea and half ass the execution, leaving the consumer disappointed, or they kill it off before it ever has a chance to take off. Google I guess at least let’s a product get to it’s highest peak making sure they disappoint the maximum amount of users, but Microsoft just makes sure that the users never even arrive.
