The feeling you get when realizing your life is too short to watch every single movie or show or listen to every single song.

A distraction

Well, I can’t afford GLP1 so gotta find some weight loss parasites somewhere.

amicaux, ça s’accorde quand c’est le verbe être. Signé: un français.

Fediverse monthly active users has been going down. I’m starting to notice my Mastodon feed not having the people I follow anymore, because of they consolidated their alternative social media in Bluesky only.

The quality of your breakdown is underrated. I wish I could nominate this comment for a best of Lemmy award or something

So to be a game dev you have to not be a game dev? Which is it?

How are devs supposed to live while making an indie game?

Also the added issue of not being able to market indie games effectively given the ocean of AI trash and asset flipping.

Also, using France as an example, gaming industry job offers declining by 71% since 2022. https://emploi.afjv.com/observatoire/metiers.php

It’s a hard world out there.

How to avoid jury duty:

• say you know a lawyer
• say you don’t trust cops
• say your memory is failing you

…

At the bottom of that list is “renounce your citizenship”. The reward to work ratio isn’t there.

Thermal vents under water will keep you alive but it won’t be your energy source for industry. Also, how do you invent the steam engine under water on a thermal vent that cannot move around?

I’ve used Kinguin a couple times to get keys for games so I could buy them at sales price during regular price season. It worked twice for me but don’t know if they can be trusted, do your homework

I don’t have one. Ask me anything.

I think you need to understand how powerful Apple’s marketing is, especially in the US. People just like a system that is simple and just works. Their use cases are limited. They don’t want to spend time to figure out which distro to install or which instance to join, they just want to start their browser and go on twitter.

I will disagree with your statement on iPad displays. The iPad has been one of the only viable tablet out there for graphic artists. The pencil is great, the color accuracy and consistency between Apple devices is excellent, the device is just functional for that type of workflow. Now if only it were repairable and not subject to planned obsolescence…

what have I done??

can’t deal with other people’s judgement today

Wow, poking the anti-AI and the anti-car people — not realizing that Venn diagram is concentric circles. (Intentionally using — just like my AI overlords)

“Hey! You bike is getting stolen!”

Is it true - yes. Is it helpful - to the owner, yes; to the thief, no. Is it inspiring - no, not really.

Okay, let’s stay silent.

It’s just a joke, don’t kill me.

Is it true ? No Is it helpful ? I guess it’s the top comment so yes Is it inspiring ? Well is it now nullify3112 ? Is it necessary ? I would argue, is anything necessary? Is it kind? Absolutely

Ok but how are they going to deal with the fact that LEO in their personal civilian cars are the ones speeding and going through red lights with impunity?

I think that we get stuck too much on how it works. We need to step back and ask ourselves what we are trying to explain.

The goal here is to have them try out a new social media. The media looks, feels and behaves like twitter. So the only explanation needed is “it’s like twitter”

You can then add what differentiate it from twitter “it’s open source” “it’s not controlled by big tech” “there are no ads” “it’s good a blocking nazi content (ymmv)”

IMHO advertising the decentralized “like email” nature of mastodon as a starting point is counter productive.

Won’t that cause true economic chaos? There already is more music than one can listen to in their lifetime. You’ll never have to listen to the same track again if you chose so. That is true before AI comes in. So how to you chose what to listen to? Where do you put value in music?

AI is just going to devalue music and art in general. Flood these industries in a race to the bottom.

I have created a machine

It can know all your secrets

I will sell your own secrets back to you

Because I own my machine and it now owns you too
