Yeah, feels like 3-4.

I had a work evaluation one year and my only negative was basically “Too nice” and I am oretty sure that lines up to what you are saying about assertiveness.

I use AI some, but if it vanished, it woukd not change anything and I would just go back to my okd ways.

Also, my two cents, the biggest hinderance is how prudish they are, because they are disgustingly prudish. How many but tech pushes worked because of porn? Most of these mainstream AIs just shit the bed at the most PG tier conversations or actions. Basically, the current push by the hugely conservative nanny state is clashing with these people’s desire to push this stuff into the Mainstream.

As someone who has regularly used virtual worlds for 20 years, the whole Metaverse thing was so hilarious.

Like, Facebook did not invent 3D online worlds, there are 3D online worlds older than Facebook.

“But wait, metaverse is not just 3D Virtual Worlds.”

Which inecitably leads to "ok, so its just “The Internet”.

As for the “Constantly being wrong.” At somepoint, these people forgot that “having an idea” does not mean “Having a useful idea.” You hear arguments about all these flash in the pan bull shit concepts like “People said the same thing about the internet or the iPhone.” Yeah, and they said the same thing about a dozen other new idea that time forgot for every Internet or every iPhone idea that took off. Not every idea is “the next big thing”. Statisrically, most ideas are “Not ever a thing.”

Yeah, also even if you coukd, it will still have the crypto problem. Do you really want a second hand GPU thst has been running full tilt for the laat year nonstop?

I have used an Xbox Gamepass trial a few times. Its a good deal honestly, especially if you play a variety of games.

Except its competing with essentially a 40+ year backlog of games I own that Inhave collected over my life. I have zero need for it.

And frankly, its biggest competition is something like HumbleBundle, where you can often get a pile of games per month to keep without the subscriotion.

I am unfortunately in the USA.

I do wonder if the “strsngers online” part didn’t help.

You get, I dunno, call them the most popular/attractive women, who attract random compliments. Constantly getting strangers telling them “you’re pretty.” Coupoe with the actual weirdos sending them DMs like “Show me your feet,” and that maked the woman bitter and jaded so even basic compliments start to get (justifiably) negative back, even if its “You’re pretty” or even lesser comments (say, “I like your art”).

Then those guys start to equate this behavior to every woman, including real life. Especially as it also starts to morph a bit on the women’s side into “Dudes are all creeps.”

And I am not trying to blame either men nor women here, just that it becomes its own toxic snowball that results in incels.

This also isn’t helped by the 90-2000s epidemic of Movie and TV stereotypes in teen movies. Only hot jocks and cheerleaders are acceptable and nerds are ugly and terrible people.

Ultately, it was aplan to fire expensive old timers and hire Gen Z replacements at 1/3rd the sallary.

USA: Does an endless stream of stupid shit.

People from Alberta “Oh damn, I want in on that action.”

I got permenantly reddit banned for “inciting violence” because of anti Ice comments.

I am pretty sure I am on that list.pS, fuck Ice, fuck Trumo, fuck the Nazi GOP.

God I would play all the Zelda games I missed not hassling with their consoles if they put them on Steam. Last Nintendo Console I owned was Wii.

It was kind of a two tiered joke, because they would not use Teams, but also the Lain thing playing off the OP oitrage about avime avatars.

I habe heard similar stories about peolle banned for making comments like that in game subreddits too. Someome look for help, and you say “Kill the boss” and suddenly banned, that sort of thing.

I used Reddit for 15 years, hundreds of thousands of Karma. Never any bans or warnings. Active in a ton of subs.

They have some new AI moderation hirse shit this year. Banned after 3 strikes in a month because I post shit about fuck Ice and Fuck the Nazis.

So Fuck Reddit.

(FWIW, I have been using Lemmy before that, but now I use it more.)

Are there good tools to do this with a personal collection? Like get actual recomendations and such based on tags? I have a shitload of digitalmusic (the large majoroty is even actually legit), and I recently went through and made sure it all hadproper artist/track/album/etc tags.

I just set up a music only Jellyfin user on my local server but I would mind a bit of personalized algorythm from my own library.

Feds: “CIA Alexa, show me the users who downloaded illegal things.”

CIA Alexa: “Yes daddy.”

(I assume Chatbotm is a submissive bottom in responses.)

Then it just picks random people and puts them on a list because its shitty and fed off of Reddit nonsense.

I dount they see it that way. More fingers and lockdown means more DRM. I feel like alot of things like removing headphone jacks and pushing to more data connection and not just video for monitors is part of a lomg term attempt to kill the “analog hole”.

You already have some media that doesn’t work with Firefox. How long until media only works on a device with kernel level DRM up through encryption in the headphones. Remeber to scan your fingerprint first too, so we know who is listening.

They just need to add a bots only mode so players can avoid other players.
