Russia just beat us in a war and didn’t have to fire a shot. They’ll have to beat Russia at the disinformation/planting assets game first to win the war with Russia.

I wouldn’t have either. What’s the joke?

Agreed. For me it’s very hard to feel the same about software projects that are like “fuck the corporations! Learn more on our discord.” Because the mental gymnastics are wild

The worst part about discord to me is that it’s used as a knowledge base for open source projects and games and such. This puts things in a walled garden. I instantly get turned off by a thing when the homepage is “join our discord” or I see a comment like “oh it’s explained in the discord.”

It’s only a matter of time before discord becomes paywalled, and all the knowledge out there ceases to be public.

The article certainly outlines a few reasons:

  1. Target “embraced” the idea of rolling back DEI policies more than many companies, furthering its weird cultish “belonging to the bullseye” internal culture.
  2. Target’s customers are more progressive than Walmart, John Deere, or Ford, so more of them actually care about what the company is doing.
  3. Target previous embraced DEI more than other companies. Them previously doing so and then promptly shedding it seems that their corporate culture is one of quarterly gains rather than giving a shit about anybody. While that’s true for pretty much all publicly traded corporations, see point 2.

It’s another tech bubble like the dot com bubble. But at this point, the AI bubble, the crypto bubble, and the capitalism bubble will all crash at the same time as the world economy falls apart and we end up in another global war. I guess the accelerationists that survive will get their wish and see what remains and if it’s the neofuedalist white supremacy utopia they dream of

Unfortunately this isn’t about you, but the 90% of people who don’t understand what AI is at all and don’t give a shit where the responses come from as long as “scorpio dream meaning high school teacher truck” and “can you gregnant with cousin?” Give them answers they like

/s to an extent, but here we are

Yeah as a web dev as well this seems like a pretty neat alternative:

Peacock is very much a project to specifically self host the hitman server, though depending on the specific game you are asking about there are possible open source alternatives also

Ah that’s good to know, thanks!

Can’t argue with that, it would be nice for GOG to have:

  • Cloud saves
  • A controller pass through with configuration as you described

Those are really steam’s best features, and if GOG had those I’d likely stop buying steam games
