I hate to say it, but like the other commenter, these aren’t layoffs because they want line go up, they’re layoffs because they literally don’t have the money to pay for that many people. Ubisoft is rightfully circling the drain, it’s unavoidable that those people’s jobs will be lost.

ORD is such a shitshow. I have to fly there because I have family nearby, but there is always some sort of delay, either because of the airport or storms or something. When I do fly there I take the flight that gets me in at midnight when the airport is dead, and when I come back home I make sure I fly direct and have plenty of time on the other side pending delays.

Yeah people fundamentally misunderstand what e2e encryption is.

No one can decrypt it between you and them. However, yours or their device has an unencrypted view of it, so if your app happily transmits all of your data, that doesn’t break the e2e encryption.

How do people think WhatsApp makes money?

Lemmy is not a chat platform, and the fediverse is the wrong technology for that. There are plenty of decentralized chat apps already that have that capability

Why not just go to any of those apps?

Your data should be yours and completely private, except we should probably have access too.

You can have any colour you like, as long as it’s black.

but we don’t even want it to begin with

Yes, that’s why you want the black one.

Like I said, I was agreeing with your title. Thought we were going to have an interesting conversation on AI generated rage bait. Here we are instead.

Technically, I didn’t read the post, but agreed with your title. Then all of your comments after I’ve accused of baiting, but yeah maybe the post was just to bait too.

Stop trying to bait us.

No. No it was not. None of them have been.

Let’s take your first question.

Honest question, are you good just passively watching all this MAGA shit spread?

There was nothing honest about this. I said I didn’t want to read the Facebook post. An honest question would have been:

I know there are many reasons why not you but why don’t you want to go on Facebook?

That’s an honest question.

You had a very obvious agenda. You are obviously trying to bait me into some argument, which I am not getting into with you. Your question was completely dishonest, because it both did not ask me about anything relevant to what I said, and there was also no way for me to answer you without you having a fully planned response.

We aren’t taking the rage bait. That’s for Facebook. Stop trying to bait us.

Why do you turn everything into an inflammatory question?

Asus has always just chased after the short term goals. This reminds me when they suddenly made android tablets, and mini pcs, and every stupid tech fad. They’re always after the latest fad, they release a subpar product, and then it fizzles.

Me watching it isn’t going to help anything.

Not going to look at the link, but I see it’s Facebook, and from my last experience over a year ago it was well over 90% AI generated rage bait

I’d have to check, I’d say slightly above average. All of my appliances and HVAC are electric now, and I have a fair amount of other electrical use. If we include the EV, well above average. I don’t expect to ever get 100% off grid, but I wonder what percentage makes it worth it

I’ve been wanting to, but I only have one southern-facing roof and I can only get a few panels on there. Do you think it’s worth it for partial power?

5 years ago we talked and talked about how proud we were of our nurses. Here we are.

Takes six fully grown adults with assault rifles to go up to one nurse in scrubs

There was an interesting study done. A group was asked if smoking should be banned in outdoor cafes. Most said yes, it smells and forces everyone to inhale it.

Then they were asked if high-polluting vehicles like trucks should be banned from streets with outdoor cafes. Most said no.

The dots cannot be connected for some.

Thanks to Hollywood and the media, plus most Americans not even having a passport let alone using it, people really do believe stereotypes

I know midwesterners who truly believe the Middle East is all one story clay shambly shacks, that everyone lives in a single room, and there’s a permanent sepia filter on.

They only know it through Western media, and that media usually only portrays it for standard set pieces.
