Joking aside, antifa-whale was a really interesting character in an otherwise predictable film.

I wanted to like Cloud Atlas. It felt like it was fighting itself for air time. I’ll give it another try someday.

He’s giving off “Hydra Bob” energy, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking.

Tom Hanks is close, but Cloud Atlas exists.

HTTP works pretty well, if you don’t mind various governments spying on the traffic.

I wanted to fact check this, but I guess Meta doesn’t have a tool for that, anymore. I’ll have to accept it at face value.

Yes. If you’ve ever worked at a runaway success company, that still had shitty poorly kept bathrooms, this is why.

People can negotiate larger or smaller shares, according to the rarity of their skillset, but to build a real team requires real ownership.

how can you measure total value of the labor?

Simple laws like requiring job postings to list a salary range have a huge impact, and allow people to negotiate a much more fair wage.

Companies also save money through reduced turnover.

Stockholders get better share price gains through continuity and staff loyalty.

The only losers are C suite executives who want to boost the stock price for one quarter before leaving for a new job.

As a developer, we use AI “extensively” because it’s currently practically free and we rarely say no to free stuff.

It is, indeed, slightly better than last year’s autocomplete.

AI is also amazing at letting non-developers accomplish routine stuff that isn’t particularly interesting.

If someone is trying to avoid paying for one afternoon of my time, an AI subscription and months of trial and error are a new option for them. So I guess that’s pretty neat.

I’m going to answer some questions I’m hearing in you question:

"I’m interested in X, should I learn X?”

The answer is pretty much always ”yes”, to that question.

"Is Rust a good/terrible fit for my project?”

Rust is a solid tool. It’ll probably do fine.

However, I don’t think punishment is a humane solution. Rehabilitation and integration are always preferred. Though again, some folks integrate best as corpses.

Exactly. They can cooperate for a better world. I think they’ll have to, soon.

Of course, I’m not going to shed any tears for the corpse of someone who prioritized their next super-yacht upgrade over my geandchldren’s clean air and food.

But I’ll keep advocating for everyone to have another chance to cooperate for public social good.

"No good billionaires” means we never stop monitoring (and legally limiting) billionaire’s choices, not that none of them can ever make a right choice.

I was with you until “unrestrained capitalism is neither a cackling villain…”.

Unrestrained anything tends to become a cackling villain.

We probably outlived the neanderthals primarily because of our capacity for advanced social order through rules.

None of us individually care for rules, but rules are our secret to success.

We need to rediscover our passion for nuance and tuning and obeying our rules.

I hope you’ll listen to those who are telling you you’re wrong on this, because the results matter:

Two year old run over in Cul de sac by drunk driver.

The children’s parents were standing in their driveway watching them ride the bikes when they yelled at the driver to slow down, the affidavit states.

The driver failed to slow down and struck their 2-year-old son as he rode his blue tricycle, according to police.

The truck struck the child and appeared to drag the child and bicycle a few feet before the truck came to rest based on the apparent blood marks in the roadway," police said.

Can people see what groups you subscribe to on Lemmy?

Other users can see which ones you comment on. I haven’t run an instance, but I imagine admins of our home instances can see what groups we are subscribed to.

But probably Windows will disable the possibillity to manipulate on kernel level either in the future.

Sort of, right?

We know Windows will continue cracking down on kernel module adds, since the Crowd strike disaster.

But I figure most anti-cheat will just shift to non-kernel and keep working.

Of course, at that point most anti-cheat of will then work under Proton, on Linux, too.

Which was maybe your point.

Okay, I don’t think I added anything for you, but I’ll leave this in case it helps someone reading along with us.

Nice!

SteamOS getting an official PC release (if/when) is going to cause the first time I’ve spent a lot on PC hardware in a long while.

I’ll build it from parts of I must, but I really hope they go for a tie-in deal with Alienware or System76 and just let me buy a big pre-installed tower to play on.

But I dont use Windows 10 that often - I don’t see the need. I just have it as a backup OS. I have free enough diskspace on my SSD so currently not doing anything.

I did exactly that for many years. And then one day I had something that called for booting to a separate OS, so…

I’m not settled on which distro

I distro hop a lot, myself, but I always hear nice things about Linux Mint. (And last time I used Mint, I had no complaints.)

Edit: Folks here also swear by Bazzite for gaming.

They’ll all continue to do their part to defend their (ultra wealthy) side of the class divide.

I think you got it. “Let me show you my collection of assorted lengths of wire.”

Panic on Funkotron is a great for that. It has light platforming, chill vibes, and great tunes. It’s a great game world to just hang out in.
