  • Pirate Software is a such a twat.

    He keeps saying he worked at Blizzard, which is factually correct, but he was a game tester and not a dev; a position he got because his dad worked there. He keeps using his time at Blizzard as some sort of support for his “authority” on the game industry.

    He has had a game in dev for like 8 years and the code is written poorly or heavily relies on AI(exact notation style used by AI), sometimes both. Any criticism of his code is dismissed by saying that it is part of the ARG for the game and intentionally done.

    He tried to gaslight his dad about him not calling on his dad’s birthday by saying he did.

    He doesn’t support Stop Killing Games from an anti-consumer standpoint.

    He does “developer streams” where he puts code on screen and doesn’t actually do any coding(IMO because he can’t actually code with real competence, based on examples of his code).

    He should just put the fries in the bag or pivot his meta.


  • I’m no expert on the higher capabilities of multistream plugins and whatnot. I don’t think you could include twitch chat with the others if you are doing that sort of thing unless filtering chats to a given platform is an option with one instance. All the same, if you are handling the multistream locally you would want to do a dual PC setup if you are a game streamer. A lot of multistreamers use a relay service to reduce processing power while gaming.

    You can multistream everything to everywhere with combined chat, but you have to sanitize the chat so it isn’t apparent that other platforms are combined or which chat is which if they are displayed separately.


  • As a hustle, you should stream on Kick(10x the payout of Twitch) and then edit the vods into algorithm clips for YouTube and tiktok that would funnel to the Kick. You could multistream everywhere for maximum exposure, but that can get troublesome depending on how active chat is because you need to keep up and Twitch doesn’t allow you to display other chats on screen.

    These days it is really hard to get going in streaming and youtube, so you really just need to cast a wide net and really work on refining your content. It takes years to get a decent second income, unless a big streamer reacts to you and then you have to try and keep the new subs without turning away the OGs.


  • According to the admin, 1.6m people have self deported or been deported. They also said they arrested more than 352,000 and deported more than 324,000. Not sure if the 324k is from the 352k, I think the 324k is included in the 1.6m.

    200 days, 1.6m deported. 8,000 per day average. 2.92m per year, 11.68m over 4 years. 11m is the conservative estimate number of unlawful immigrants, Pew says 14m, but the upper estimate is over 21m.

    So they claim they have hit 1m a year a while ago, but we would have to trust their numbers are accurate. There are indications that at least 600,000 have left the US, but that is pretty much based on vibes because concrete numbers are impossible to obtain.



  • Pretty much zero.

    The Dems would need to have an actual platform other than orange man and couch fucker bad. They keep running on feelings and vibes without a concrete plan to improve things. Not that they will be able to accomplish anything of value, given the circumstances, which will not help in 2028. Then there is the 3rd parties that could form that really makes things worse.

    Without a serious effort by the Dems, we are almost certainly going to have another 4 years of Republican Whitehouse in 2028 and the best hope is a slight majority in Congress.







  • For someone to get to work on a government site, you have to pass a background check. Since Secret Service is involved, they will check social media as well.

    Clark Construction is doing most of the building, outside of the engineering construction, and they are actually fairly good in the industry. They intentionally provide a starting point to get into trades with pre-apprenticeship employment, which is huge in construction trades. Wages and benefits are on par with national averages for non-union labor.

    The lowest paid people are “helpers” and they fuck up plenty when they try not to and aren’t allowed to touch anything that could be of consequence. At most they could write a message on something nobody will see until the next renovation.


  • Lemmy loves artists who have their income threatened by AI because AI can make what they make at a substantially lower cost with an acceptable quality in a fraction of the time.

    AI depends on being trained on the artistic works of others, essentially intellectual and artistic property theft, so that you can make an image of a fat anime JD Vance. Calling it plagiarism is a bit far, but it edges so hard that it leaks onto the balls and could cum with a soft breeze.

    AI consumes massive amounts of energy, which is supplied through climate hostile means.

    AI threatens to take countless office jobs, which are some of the better paying jobs in metropolitan areas where most people can’t afford to live.

    AI is a party trick, it is not comparable to human or an advanced AI. It is unimaginative and not creative like an actual AI. Calling the current state of AI anything like an advanced AI is like calling paint by numbers the result of artistry. It can rhyme, it can be like, but it can never be original.

    I think that about sums it up.
