I know it may be hard to believe if you only browse Lemmy (like myself), but the average person actually likes these so-called “AI” tools or at least a significant amount of them do.

This is probably true but makes me sad. I tell all my friends not to use the lie machines but a bunch of people at work use them all the time.

I don’t think there’s any evidence that AI needs to be baked into the browser. They have a robust extension ecosystem for this sort of thing.

You’re very angry and not worth the time to engage with further. I’m sorry for anyone in your life. Goodbye.

What kind of place do you live?

Why does one of the most populous cities experience not count?

Why are you so emotionally invested in this?

Do people in large cities not struggle? Why do you think one set of struggles trump another?

Are you alright, dude?

I’ve lived in the suburbs and traveled around the US a fair amount. I think sometimes about a time I was in suburban Illinois, and we were like “maybe we can order some food.” Opened up google maps and it was a wasteland. I think there was like one KFC open in the area.

My mind is more blown by why people defend living like that. Or actively choose it. It’s a horrible kind of place to live.

Ok, fine, sometimes there are tradeoffs. A guy I know bought a house out in the sticks someplace in the northeast. Has a yard for his kids. It’s not too expensive. But it’s a long-ass drive to get anywhere, and there’s nothing to do. Not a trade I would make.

I think you’re just duckspeaking words like “privileged”.

I was asking which specific hell they live in, but clearly I did not phrase my question clearly.

No, I was asking about which specific hell they live in. edit: not specific like “give me your address” but like, suburb, countryside, whatever. Maybe I shouldn’t post before breakfast.

I’m in New York City. There’s maybe a dozen food places within ten minutes. There’s more, but some of them may be in the 15-20 minute range. Several million people live here.

What hell do you live in that’s so remote?

No one needs more than 5 million dollars. That’s enough for a comfortable life without laboring every again.

If they make a shit load of money doing concerts, that money needs to keep moving. Tax it so it can go into schools and infrastructure and such. They don’t need a mega yacht. People are starving and suffering from problems money would solve.

Microsoft doesn’t have to compete very much. They’re not a monopoly, probably, but a strict definition. Apple exists. Linux exists and is better than the terminal hell the average person thinks about. But that’s not enough pressure to make microsoft actually try to appeal to customers. Most people are basically stuck.

We should break up all of these companies that are so big they can coast with shitty products for years.

Really want the news media to stop quoting and normalizing trump voters. They are idiots. I don’t want to hear what they have to say. Unless it’s a clear “I was wrong and will never vote conservative again”, I’d rather all the space be given to people who are more worth listening to.

No system will long survive players acting in bad faith. There’s no system you can come up with that is immune to conservatives and capitalists fucking with it. It might take them years, but they will never stop. They are the worst people on earth. If you could thanos-snap away conservatives, the world would become a better place overnight. Every problem we’re facing is either their fault, or made worse by them.

And we’re never going to get rid of conservatives. There are always going to be shitty humans who believe their in-group needs to be protected and the out-group needs to be bound. Shitty, scared, little shit bags that will blame brown people or queers or whatever, anything, so they can think down familiar paths and avoid any hard introspection.

So I don’t know. You don’t stop building a home because the elements are always trying to tear it down. But you can’t punch the wind in the fucking throat so hard they cry and vomit at the same time, so maybe it’s not quite the same as a maga hat.

Oh I read about that but never played it. Thanks for reminding me of it.

You would likely find the end of the stairs, and then more rooms and hallways. You need to walk without purpose for a while for it to pull up the final room.

The dungeon was heavily inspired by the novel House of Leaves. Endless, featureless, black hallways. Great book.

One of the clues they found was from a survivor from the antagonist’s party who had gone in ahead of them. He said the boss-man had kept asking them lots of questions about their youth, where they’d grown up, their hobbies. Just a lot of personal questions. The survivor didn’t know why, since boss-man had never taken an interest in them before.

Apparently there’s a couple free games. Never played 100% Orange Juice myself but a friend was super into it when it came out.

I think part of it is a lot of stuff goes on deep discount repeatedly. Like Overcooked is $2. That’s a steal. But I already have it. If this was my first steam sale, I’d be super excited about that.

Nioh1 was pretty okay. Never finished it. Nioh2 is one of my favorites in the genre, and I play it like once a year. It’s an improvement in every way.

The data center haters are the strangest, to me. Because there’s this default assumption that data centers can never be powered by renewable energy
