Aye, Soulframe works flawlessly via Lutris. It runs on the same engine as Warframe and performs as well really. Been playing Soulframe for months on SUSE.

Yeah. I’ve a friend who kept getting dismissed by the doctors when they came with worries about their heart, because they were diagnosed with generalised anxiety. Apparently if you’re living with anxiety you’re also immune to heart problems!

Doesn’t help that someone close to them died because of late medical intervention, which only happened because the person’s partner insisted that they fake a fainting episode as the medical system had repeatedly dismissed them when previously asking for help with their problem. Everything was fine and dandy until they didn’t pass out, then oops, too late to treat the cancer, have a nice rest of your life.

Can’t even blame individual doctors though, I think it has a lot to do with understaffing and overworking. The people who matter aren’t cared for and thus can’t properly care for the people they are obliged to care for. It all serves the bottom line of the elite because they can pocket more money.

Universe is feeling that YOLO.

His personal convictions don’t matter as much as the philosophies his ilk tout and pander to. The anti-women, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric smacks heavily of Catholicism.

The U.S.?

Apps are the only way I can see it being useful. RSS readers, mail clients, chat clients etc.

We do have native populations that have been mistreated. I don’t think we’ve apologised for the eugenics.

I love this, thank you!

Really. A bigger screen just gives my dog a bigger target when he flails his toys around.

Shit, I need to step up my game!

Which is probably why he wants to hollow out NASA and have SpaceX take their place.

Which is why we need to get off corpo platforms. A corporation will never care for people or look out for people’s best interests, it only ever cares about finances going up, and will put that before everything. An authoritarian regime wanting to censor their genocide? Absolutely. Fuck the victims, it’s more important that our pockets are well lined.

Bluesky is just twitter. It’s the same bullshit with a different recipe. It’ll never be a good platform for democracy.

I think you’re underestimating how many women use the internet. They just don’t go swing that around much because of the harassment it tends to attract.

Bhallanges.

During a meeting not too long ago someone was like “we’re looking into using AI to generate these reports.”

So they have a dude who gets requests to generate reports. It’s not the same reports, but rather custom reports from scattered bits of data throughout a huge database. Ergo you can’t really create a program to extract these reports on demand, a person actually has to sit and piece these together.

Now they want to use LLMs to alleviate him, as this isn’t technically his role.

They scoffed at me when I asked about how important it is that these reports are accurate, but I mean, it’s a valid concern. Best case you get sometimes-hallucinated reports, worst case you get something that wreaks havoc on the database because it just spits out garbage SQL.

I’m very glad that my role doesn’t involve that BS.

I make software for iron mining.

FORMALDEHYDE FACE!

My job is mostly thinking and pushing buttons.

Oh no, absolutely essential but not essential enough to deserve respect, be paid a living wage, or require good working conditions. Just essential to my comfort.

Is it an open standard?
