If he’s manipulating how the fediverse looks so much, maybe a defederation is in order.

I guess all those outraged users should demand a refund then.

So you’re saying it’s a 1 star and you’ve unsubscribed?

This is why I’ve considered a double sink to be mandatory in any place I get. At some point I’m going to just get a commercial style sink and use a tub or something in there to contain the dish water and soaking dishes, though most dishes go in the dishwasher.

Pizza delivery is generally cheaper and more reliable, assuming the pizza place has its own drivers. Cheaper because the delivery service is intended to extend the restaurant’s sales, rather than needing to extract enough value to pay both a driver and the middleman app. More reliable because the driver isn’t just some anonymous person that decided to download an app but a driver that has an ongoing relationship with the pizza place.

Search for the developer name to see their full list, as there’s a bunch more. I just listed the ones I had on my wishlist before purging them. And if you want to just filter anything they make going forward, on their developer/publisher page, there’s a gearbox that has ignore options. And if you want to undo that, the list of ignored games and companies is somewhere in the settings.

Turns out I have 3 of their games on my wishlist.

Roadcraft, recent reviews mixed, looks like that was from before this controversy as only one that I looked at mentioned it. Others mention things like the characters and story seeming like they were produced by AI. “The story is so generic and blandly written, I wonder if humans were involved or not.” Others complain about the game being janky and lacking polish. Someone preordered the ultimate edition and was upset they paid $100 for it and it didn’t include DLC (there’s 5 paid DLCs, game was released in May '25).

Tempest Rising, though for this one they are only listed as a publisher. Reviews are mostly positive (though there’s a negative one that mentions this).

Space Marines 2, this one is currently showing up as “Very Positive” but it looks like this might bring it down into the mixed area because there’s a lot of negative reviews mentioning this, though. Oh it uses kernel anti-cheat so I guess I wasn’t getting it anyways.

Yeah, even just going purely by just that response quote in this post is enough for me to detest that guy and want the company that chose him to lead to fail.

Though I do kinda wish that leaker had waited because it’s easy to say “we were going to reveal it later” even if they had no intention of revealing anything. If this had come out at release, then that excuse wouldn’t have been available (assuming my hunch that they weren’t going to say shit was right).

At the very least it should be using a threshold based on the number of comments and upvotes. I was in one of those threads when it was deleted and it was very active. Feels shady af when an active thread like that just suddenly disappears (because how this platform handles deleted threads also sucks, it just disappears).

Yeah, the CIA weren’t openly involved (Cameron, the one who did the experiments claimed to be unaware of CIA involvement but who knows), McGill claimed to be unaware but they went on for 9 years, so even if that’s true, it could be considered negligence. And the Canadian government funded it.

And when it came out, there was an investigation that concluded they didn’t act irresponsibly.

I used to have difficulty getting through doors. Turns out they are designed to prevent you from going through when closed and luckily I was able to solve the problem from there and mostly get through doors when I want to now.

If he had passed the test, he wouldn’t need to dodge bullets.

I wonder if they had anyone who knew actual details stay the fuck away from those tests just in case they got a mind reader in there.

Also frustrating that it isn’t even the same people because the ones that did that shit already retired and/or died before it was declassified. There isn’t really much to do about it, even if the government is willing. Any apology isn’t from those who actually did it. Any reparations are paid for with taxes. Any promise to do better could be a lie and probably won’t be known for sure until the ones making it are dead and their documents are declassified.

Hey replying here in case you didn’t see the rest of the chain on the other reply, but no, that wasn’t the CIA (see the other reply chain for more details).

When they leave the foundry in Taiwan, they aren’t ready to be just used. I’m not sure if TSMC even cuts the dies out of the wafers, then they need to be packaged and binned (not necessarily in that order… Being packaged makes binning easier but it’s a waste to package a junk chip). Packaging might happen in Malaysia, Singapore, or China (or elsewhere, I just know those countries have packaging facilities).

Packaging is when they put the chip(s) on the little PCB that has the pins or pads (for CPUs), though GPUs generally go on a board of some sort, though I can only guess how this one was packaged. Imagining Jensen Huang on an assembly line, licking the backs of GPUs and sticking them on missiles as they pass by and causually get dumped in a steel bin at the end of the conveyor, but that’s probably not what’s happening with them.

Another guess just based on the terms is it could be a method that throws your json object into a black hole and returns the version of the object that is stretched out to infinity.

Though that’s just an optical illusion, in reality the object would be ripped apart by the gravity or extreme radiation, depending on whether it was a small or large black hole.

Your guesses are more useful, but I can’t fathom what goes on in the mind of JavaScript devs.

Maybe the client’s interpreter’s autocorrect will fix it at run time.

Sounds like someone bullshitted their way through school to get a technical degree, not realizing that their bullshitting depended on the person they were bullshitting not being good or confident with technology, which gets rarer when you go into a technical career.

Haha I have also done an interview where the person had a friend in the room feeding them answers, though this one must have assumed his mic was worse than it was and didn’t mute at all, so we could hear the mumbling of answers. To make it even funnier, though, their friend wouldn’t have gotten hired either because none of their answers were good.

I kinda wanted to tell them they should find a smarter friend to help them cheat at interviews but instead just thanked them for their time and ended the interview.

Though tbh, I wasn’t really impressed by any of the new grads from the schools we were looking at. Some of them made me wonder if they learned anything at all about software development during their time at school.

Also acceptable: JavaScript? Ok shoot me.
