I gotta admit, I was pretty amazed when they built Polygon out of scratch. It was just passionate game writers who is wanted to share the content they like reading. The first year was full of great writing. Then it kinda faded into the background, which isnt a problem.

Seeing how that happened gives me hope that a new website filled with passionate game writers will sprout up.

Damn, guy is showing you don’t need a massive garden to grow food, literally showing you how to grow food in a box.

And the comments are dunking on him. Wtf.

• boycotting the US

Worked with a guy who was obsessed with Tim Ferris and his ‘Opening the Kimono’ philosophy on transparency.

Dude took it really far when he pushed for nude events and “Tell All’s” at our company retreat.

Later quit to run some crypto scam.

My root issue with people who shit on AI is that by pretending like it doesn’t exist or refusing to use it, your voice is not part of the conversation.

The world will use AI, regardless of your personal feelings.

And if you arent in the room to help shape decisions, don’t be surprised when we are fucked.

Nah. It’s just a paradigm. I hated it when I studied it in the 2000s, and have gained some appreciation of it 20 years later.

What I realized isn’t that I hate OOP, moreso I hate how old ass books/old guard developers used OOP.

If you use Proton and forget your passwords, it’s okay because the Proton CEO openly praised a US president who has a history of breaking privacy laws and is actively antagonizing allies. With that moral compass running Proton, your privacy and security might be compromised at a later date.

But I want AI to convert my mp3s to Oggs and vice versa 😭😭😭

Not some stupid “conversion library” or whatever that is

I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer

I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.

In a room full of dickheads, it’s often the loudest dickhead that gets their way. Often it’s the CEO.

Pretty much. These commenters seem to believe engineers are given all the resources needed to deliver everything in time in perfect condition.

If there’s no multiverse then what was Dr Strange fighting? Check mate atheists.

I completely forgot about the term SJW until this little dig into history.

I know a lot of scientists who were already getting let go around the winter because finding dried up.

And with the way the US is going, that well continues to shrink.

Right? If Ada was banning on vibes, be ready to get that Lemmy.world banning because of a bad roll of the dice.

I don’t keep up with Lemmy drama.

What’s up with Midwest social?

There needs to be a one-pager because every week there seems to be a new one.

Back in my day, it was “Help me buy a summer home.”

Now it’s, “Help me buy a yacht, a skyscraper, 14 cybertrucks and a way to funnel this to Trump.”

Went for a checkup. I remember telling my doctor I was surprised by their results.

And they said, “we told you five years ago.” And pulled out timestamps.

Brutal.

You weren’t kidding! This is a rollercoaster ride of incredible twists and turns!

The problem, according to three former Cooler Screens executives and a former Yahoo executive, was that their clients thought of the screens as “shopper marketing,” an old-timey ad category that covered in-store promos like the balloons or cardboard displays that clerks hang over cases of beer. Spending in this area was far lower than the more lucrative digital ad rates Avakian hoped to charge. One of the former Cooler Screens execs says that Avakian wanted marketing dollars well above what the industry was willing to pay and that his lieutenants could be preposterously condescending on calls with the Yahoo sales team, which at times devolved into shouting matches. “The Yahoo people hated them!” this former exec says. “Their MO was to ride them [Yahoo] like Secretariat.” (A Cooler Screens spokesperson says that this description is inaccurate and that Avakian’s relationship with Yahoo executives remained positive.)

Condescending calls with Yahoo sales team. Fucking hilarious.
