Went to best buy with my mom to buy her a new tv and printer when we went to pay at the cashier, the person in front offered to pay for us. I asked him why and he said he does this randomly about once a month and to pay it forward. I’ve paid the pur bases of 3 random people thus far.

Never knew those beautiful parrots where endanger TIL

Any developer job right now is becoming slavery and all coders should unionize

People play games to escape right? So if someone wants to escape by playing a game and someone else is using cheats to break the game (le. Floats over the map and insta kills any player that spawns) that ruins the gane for those trying to escape, which is a problem. The question is more, why are you playing a game where you need to use cheats to have fun? Why are you paying money to cheat a game when you would clearly suck otherwise? If you are bad at a game, that’s ok. Either take your time to learn how to play the game better, of maybe this game isn’t for you and you should find a different game that you’d be better and have more fun playing (this is why there are game demos)

Haven’t had an Xbox since my 360 red ringed, so I’m in.

Well I have a couple of titles on my library that always ask for controller. (NFS Heat, and Jedi Fallen Order to name two)

I have recently bought a new printer but I’m going to work on the Ender after the Holiday’s and get it back to working order. I am hopeful I can turn it into a constant printing machine that auto ejects completed parts. Definetly need a new bed because right now its glass.

That last bit, as the proud owner of a Ender 3 V2 I can confirm the bed isn’t as level as one would like… And mine is glass 🙃

I didnt know about the soapy water cleaning, thanks.

Our company is forcing us to do everything with AI, hell they developed a “tool” to generate simple apps using AI our customers can use for their enterprise applications and we are forced to generate 2 a week minimum to “experiment” with the constant new features being added by the dev teams behind it (but we’re basically training it).

The director uses AI spy bots to tell him who read and who didn’t read his emails.

Can’t even commit code to our corporate github unless copilot gives it the thumbs up and its constantly nitpicking things like how we wrote our comments and asking to replace pronouns or to write them a different way, which I always reply with “no” because the code is what matters here.

We are told to be positive about AI and to push the use of AI into every facet of our work lives, but I just feel my career as a developer ending because of AI. We’re a bespoke software company and our customers are starting to ask if they should use AI to built their software instead of paying us, which I then have to spend hours explaining them why it would be a disaster due to the shear complexity of what they want to build.

Most if not all executives I talk to are idiots who don’t understand web development, shit some don’t even understand the basics of technology but think they can design an app.

After being a senior dev and writing code for 15 years I’m starting to look at other careers to switch to… Maybe becoming an AI evangelist? I hear companies are desperately looking for them… Lol, what a fucking disaster this shit is becoming.

It almost sounds like were both in the same company

Hence why I said likely not to happen. But I still hold a sliver of hope

I still have the hope FIFA is going to kick the US out (most likely not to happen) or Mexico and Canda step away in hopes they hurt FIFA

Wrong sub if that’s what it was

You lost me at shareholder. When I see that word, I know nothing worth reading follows

From what I can tell as someone who detests clickbait as well, the stupid algorithm for YouTube shows it works so while I also wish there shouldn’t be any more clickbait, creators somewhat have to do it or risk their video getting lost in the vast ocean of other daily uploads

One could even give a tip to ice that an illegal lives there. Wasn’t there like a reward or something for tips?

The zune was truly awesome! Its only weakness was that Microsoft actually didn’t really believe on it (same with the Kin)
