I believe the very first one had skill points that unlocked an extended ending and game art.

What are the long term risks associated with being a sex worker? Is that any different than being a long term call center worker or secretary, or construction worker?

You hold a grudge for 12 years? Did they kick your dog or something?

You’ve read those gamepass on steamdeck instructions?

I’m sure there exists someone who wants to do that but seems more like wishful thinking.

I also thought it was interesting that they can’t create their own flatpack to supply for Edge, although I would never put a microsoft product on a linux station myself.

How’s the network wide ad blocking work, that would solve a big issue with my kids.

Is containers here used in the same context as docker? I’m not familiar with podman.

For the new AI review feature, we are the product not the customers.

Great fairies are the breast fairies!

Thats absolutely the kind of rule that gets crowd sourced and becomes real, real fast.

Rocket league has/had like a half dozen rules nearly everyone knows.

What you call manipulating words is just a different perspective, neither of us is breaking any laws, and this is absolutely about morals. Your perspective apparently is that none of thus warrants any moral consideration at all. I disagree.

Of course noones trying to stop you, we are talking about why you use something and I wont, thats it. If you only care about what benefits you personally, of course youll butt heads with people who choose to apply a different methodology for what is good or bad. What was your point in even commenting on here, just fear you’d lose your new tool?

Thats thr thought I immediately had and I couldn’t figure out what to say, and then the meeting moved on without my reply.

If I’m being extremely generous, maybe he meant it to be inspiring? Like you can do it without a manager! You are great!

I can’t figure out where he’s getting his management ideas from its all over the board. Oh well most of our clients will be gone by this December, and I’ll be gone by then too so its no bother for me anymore.

Edit to clarify: gone as in getting a new job, sorry if that sounded dark

Creating art for yourself is a fiction. Doing nearly anything for yourself is a fiction. As much as some feel they prefer to be alone, noone lives in a bubble.

When you talk about barriers to entry for art, you really mean high quality art. Sure, perfectionists will be able to outdo their outsized expectations of themselves, briefly. The barriers to making art have been incredibly low for all of human history if you really are talking purely about the cost to begin making art. You and I can start cresting art with our hands right now. How much lower can the barriers be?

It seems to me you would find it easier to work on your perspective that prevents you from enduring the failure required to learn high quality art than to advise we steal all art globally and historically, combine it into a program using the energy of a large nation, and present it to you at your home over the internet.

But like you said, we all have our perspectives on what is important.

The comparison to cars is interesting, although cars maybe have peaked already and I doubt technology has.

I dont think proprietary information is helping much either. Makes young folk think they need to get a job at Google to work on something real and important.

I wish all this AI stuff was limited to just creating a new coding language. That I can get behind, sharing programming information is not the same as copying others art.

Maybe.

It could also cause immense frustration when people realize that all the time they spent creating AI art is essentially wasted when it comes to learning a new skill.

It could give people false expectations about the effort needed to make art. It could flood the internet with AI art to the point where it hides individual artists even more, driving down demand due to over supply.

Also, you dont need to create stunning works to motivate people to create more art, the problem is people not accepting the learning process which involves a hell of a lot of mediocrity and failure along the way. AI tools are not going to improve the average persons perspective, who likely thinks you need to be born with a gift to be an artist.

I think they mean that they were the last generation who was alive and learning about how things were built and innovated on, while newer generations won’t have that benefit.

They will be exposed to high level tools instead that automate a lot of the work which will make things easier for them but reduce understanding.

Thus, the newer generations on average will need to purposefully dig back into the past to learn what the older generations learned by just being around while it was happening.

These are just general trends though, its not going to be very practical to try to apply it to any individuals, or the group of people you work with.

Vegan isnt for everyone, although as the other poster said there are different ways to vegan. But, people need to allow that not everyone has a body that can handle every kind of diet.

I’m vegan so I just rather like not having to worry about all of the negative side effects of meat and dairy, but there are degrees to things, and a healthy diet could potentially include meat and dairy.

I dont actually know the carnivore diet that well, so I based what I said on the assumption that you would be consuming so much cholesterol containing food that it couldn’t possibly NOT have an adverse affect on your life.

Could I ask if you could be more specific on what caused you to change from vegan? More of a curiosity for me than anything.

I’m having flashbacks to my last meeting with my direct manager and their manager, where the managers manager told me I should be managing myself appropriately because I’m an adult.

When I said, “well we need managers for a reason dont we?”, he replied " I dont know, do you?"

And that was the end of that topic, literally.

I hope Valve somehow has figured how that’s supposed to work, but the lack of communication that causes is so profound at my work, that almost noone knows what they are supposed to be doing or have any idea of what the bigger longer-term picture is.

I setup popos and EndeavourOS recently, very easy to install. Learning them was about equal IMO, they have different ways of doing things. I liked PopOS initially because its supported by a company that has financial incentive to make sure it runs reliably.

Youll lose weight possibly but thats a great way to end up dead by heart disease at a stupidly young age.
