  • 'Everyone is unhappy': Meta employees describe a grim environment as the company reportedly prepares to axe roughly 8,000 workers

  • They could all quit en masse. That'd be pretty funny.

  • What's that video game boss you've never been able to beat, or took you the longest to beat?

    Jump

  • It was the last egg level I needed to get the key. I never did beat it. The other 4 egg levels were pretty difficult as well.

  • The Jade Temple level for the final chicken egg in Guacamelee 2. It's fucking bullshit!

  • No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".

  • What do you think about gambling?

    Jump

  • John Ralston Saul's The Doubter's Companion - The Dictionary Of Aggressive Common Sense sums it up pretty well:

    GAMBLING, STATE - RUN When governments raise money by acting as croupiers, the systems they manage are degenerate and are closer to their end than to their beginning.

    The Burmese, for example, could always tell when a dynasty was close to falling; it would set up a state lottery. Early in the 1970s, Western governments turned to licensed gambling to provide the funds which TAXATION no longer seemed able to raise. This initiative has been blamed on many specifics: the financial crisis, tax reform which drastically reduced the contribution of the large corporations, the cost of social programs. The combined result was a lack of money which turned into DEBT and that debt into chronic restraint.

    From the moment a government encourages its citizenry to finance the state by gambling — which means by idle dreaming — instead of through creativity, work and productivity, that state is in an unacknowledged crisis.

    The only nation to have prospered via gambling is Monaco, which is not a nation. It is a corporation specializing in tax avoidance presided over by a croupier prince.

    Personally, I think it's a mug's game.

  • OpenAI Accused of Handing Over Your Intimate Personal Information to Meta and Google

    Jump

  • Who's the bigger fool? The one handing over your personal information to Meta/Google, or the one giving it to OpenAI in the first place?

  • Moss, One of VR's Best Series, Is Being Un-VR'd and Brought to PC and Consoles

    Jump

  • I pretty much only use it for simracing, and for that it's unbeatable.

    I did enjoy both Moss games though as a diversion. I'm not sure the VR aspect is entirely necessary to the games, although it definitely added to the experience. The motion controls are probably more essential.

    Superhot VR is pretty good as well. I couldn't get into Half Life: Alyx though.

  • What are you doing for podcast discovery?

    Jump

  • I'm not that starved for content that I need to speedrun it. 1x speed is fine for me.

    You don’t have to listen to everything.

    I know. The few shows I have are enough for me.

  • That's too many podcasts! How can anyone listen to that many?

  • Some More News,

    I also recommend Even More News - a more regular, more informal podcast from the same crew. Jonathan is also there.

  • Barenaked Ladies - The Old Apartment

  • My Canadian ex-wife introduced me to this band when Gordon was the latest album. This and Maroon are still some of my favourite albums. Oh, and Stunt is pretty good as well. I used to play "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel" when I was busking.

    Looking them up today - holy shit! They're still putting out albums. I've got some catching up to do.
