Google’s green image looks increasingly like a marketing layer

Corporate thought also simultaneously believes the reverse:

Things aren’t getting done? The team that went from 11 members to 3 while their incoming work rate tripled must not be working hard enough. We should consider outsourcing.

I haven’t checked the reviews, so I don’t know of any actual problems with it, but in a lot of ways they set themselves up for failure.

It’s been in development for what feels like fucking forever, so expectations are high. It’s the successor to a massively popular game that influenced so many memes and a decent bit of online culture, so even without bloated expectations it has huge shoes to fill. Lastly, it’s the sequel to a game that relies entirely on user made content to thrive, so there was always going to be a big gap (which may never actually be filled) while you wait for users to make new content for the new engine or to transition existing content over.

Seeing as how in both the original anime and the manga/brotherhood, the power in them came from human souls, I’d venture to guess that wouldn’t work.

Beyond the posting frequency, you also clearly just copy paste the title, like the post you had somewhere in the past week or so with “[OC]” in the title despite not being your own OC.

This isn’t tough. Separate your “normal user” activity from the assisted posting. Go in your account settings and switch “bot account” on. Whatever you have set up to “assist” you in posting so frequently, adjust it to place in the body text of each post “Originally from Reddit: [LINK]. Original post text below: [ORIGINAL BODY TEXT GOES HERE]”.

There, everyone is happy. Anyone who isn’t at that point can block you.

Lastly, Lemmy/Piefed doesn’t have persistent karma for each user. There’s no point doing this concentrated posting shit to begin with.

You’ll want to make sure battery optimizations are disabled for them, so Android will be less likely to close the app for only being in the background. Sometimes allowing the app to keep a persistent notification going can help as well. A lot of the specific details can vary by phone and android OS version, so web search will be your friend on this.

I’ll warn you though, with some phones, you can do everything right and it may still auto-close them on occasion.

Rub it in why don’t you. :P

I had sporadic health issues earlier this year that weren’t consistent enough for FMLA and I’m down to 4 hours PTO. If I’m a good boy, I’ll gain maybe an hour a month.

Plus, the whole deal at my workplace was they acknowledged they paid under market rate in exchange for extra flexibility. Now we have new management who desperately doesn’t want to pay us for time on-call anymore, and doesn’t believe in time in-lieu (work after hours, get the equivalent off during business hours). I’m a full fledged systems engineer making under $90k. That’s a lot of money, but it sure as hell isn’t competitive for my skills, and more and more I’m wondering if it’s really worth what it’s costing me.

Excuse you. Hamster sex worker.

That’s something I see in my workplace even without AI, just with coding/scripting/automation.

It helps you do things faster. It doesn’t ensure you’re doing the right thing (unless you have someone skilled build in all the guardrails).

So many of my coworkers are at the “This chainsaw is amazing! I bet it would be great at driving nails!” level of scripting, and AI is only making them more reckless.

People still made places for themselves, but it took some effort, and every personal site ended up being a reflection of the person who made it and their skills.

Firefox on desktop as I haven’t taken the time to migrate to a fork like Librewolf. Ironfox on mobile.

uBlock Origin on both, Rethink DNS on mobile as a local VPN style ad blocker across all apps.

Last I checked you can import it when you first run it, or from an option menu somewhere, and it adds it to the options you have when starting a new save. I just followed instructions from the GitHub.

Apparently if you have a supported ROM (check here) you just drop it in the same folder as the exe to import it.

Each game is meant to playable as a standalone thing, any direct storyline continuation from previous titles is covered in the game itself. Technically Ocarina of Time and Majora’s mask are a pair with MM as the sequel, but either can be played alone with no real loss of context. MM does build on gameplay of OoT though.

It’s not a spoiler to say that across the game series it’s generally a plot about some reincarnation of the three central figures of Link, Zelda, and Ganon. There’s often implied reincarnations of other characters too across multiple games, but that’s mostly just callback fluff for fans. There’s one game set first in the in universe timeline that sets up the impetus for the reincarnation cycle, and one game that splits the timeline into a few branches based off three different interpretations of the ending of that specific game.

The two main newest ones, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, are a two-fer as well, and are a new timeline or convergence of the split timelines depending on who you ask.

For a first time player, don’t worry about it. Whichever game you play will give you what you need to know. Any understanding of the “grand series plot” just adds some extra oomph to scenes in later released games than OoT and MM.

For anyone lamenting they don’t have a Switch 2, or looking for OoT with QoL improvements for cheaper than whatever Nintendo’s asking price is, there is a free PC port of OoT that will run as fast as your hardware can handle it without messing up gameplay speed etc, has a ton of switchable QoL features, and has mod support for using 3DS (and better) graphics/models. You can even use Master Quest’s edited dungeons with all the benefits of the 3DS version.

It’s called Ship of Harkinian. All you have to do is provide a copy of the game ROM.

At this point we already have the ridiculously extensible PC ports. There’s no shot that there won’t be mods to bring over whatever QoL this remake adds (assuming it’s anything not already in the port) within weeks of release. I’ll give it maybe a year or two for homebrew graphics mods to catch up or for someone to extract the new assets into a mod.

And there’s no debate regarding the 3DS remaster anymore. You can just shove its graphics into the port if you prefer them and flip a few settings to toggle the changed behavior.

Plus everyone knows the best way to play is with the Beatles in OOT mods (seriously go search up the stupid fucking fever dream that is the remixed OST).

Since when has banning cheating ever stopped students inclined to cheat?

I think it’s pretty obvious that you haven’t used any AI tools in a while. They have gotten considerably better at not spewing complete nonsense, and at being very convincing to people who don’t know better. We’re well past the obvious days of glue pizza and telling people to eat rocks, and entirely fabricated garbage.

My job is doing a full court push of AI to make sure we “don’t get left behind” by nebulous competitors’ hypothetical productivity gains. So I’ve started picking it up. It’s useful for searching for information using normal language terminology, and on rare occasions can call out edge cases and additional considerations early, rather than when I come to those conclusions after reading 10 different documentation sites and mentally mapping everything out.

I still think the bleeding edge early adopters were/are insane, AGI/ASI isn’t going to coalesce out of the current approaches if ever, and it’s a net negative for humanity. That all said, I see the benefits and use cases more clearly now too.

Unfortunately, not checking anything and pushing to prod now can result in things that work well enough to become relied on before it hits the wall. You end up with a project five layers past the initial slop code (that the initial slopper claims is rock solid and good to go) when the problems start showing up, then you realize that you’ve been building off slop foundation and have to tear everything back down to the frame.

Makes the whole thing worse tbh.

As far as I recall, the whole declaration that it was a hate symbol was pretty misinformed to begin with.

It was originally used by tons of people online, particularly by quite a lot of 4chan users. So it got mostly used for weird memes like ones about adult man children earning good boy points towards chicken tenders and being socially inept, and sometimes for weird alt-right bullshit.

Then during the horrid mess of GamerGate (which has direct ties to a handful of current rightwing grifters gaining popularity), at one point some rights advocacy group labelled it a hate symbol due to the association with GamerGate by way of 4chan. I mean sure, hateful movement, right? But they were using it like people use stick figures. In my opinion Pepe was more the medium than the message, and it wasn’t so overwhelmingly used for hate like twitter/x that you could legitimately make the argument that it hands down was a dog whistle or only used by those who would tolerate the hateful views.

Then again, I was a heavy 4chan user many many years ago (dropped off during the scientology raids), so my point of view is probably skewed.

I get that for a while a lot of the internet stopped using it due to the negative associations and news articles citing the original claim by the advocacy group, but it makes me happy to see the awkward little frog being “reclaimed” for general use again.

If they don’t love you, they aren’t the love of your life, just someone you were infatuated with.
