My European imagination also sees that as choosing to drive a normal car on a road where every other car is a monster truck. Emergency brake? Whoops crushed by the leviathan behind you!

I just realised that I can no longer reply to a question with "You're absolutely right" anymore, because there's a chance the questioner might think I'm a fucking slopper..

I'm seeing a range of attitudes towards it in my work. Day job is full of devs who hate it but management like it and are trying to encourage it, my Irish web dev group are way into it and getting brainrot, and my game dev community reject it completely. Game dev is my happy place these days.

Wow, it really goes to show what a bad launch will do for a game's reputation

Toiling away at the thankless job of making sure our software works for everyone, while management joyously announce the future is making software that works for no-one

Alternatively, you could use WordArt

I'm not even joking!
This is literally cooler, aesthetics be like that

AI art is so rancid it caused a cultural inversion

Okay it gets better after a few hours. That opening stretch is a slog, though.

About 2 hours, the first game took a while to get going so hopefully this'll be the same

I was recommended them by an artist friend when I painted my arcade cabinet, and I was super impressed by how well the colour came out. I've used cheap shit for smaller things before but this ended up way better. Also the colours they have are so nice they make me want to paint things..

Hey folks, I want to give another shout-out to Torment Hexus, because I found a copy in my inbox, and I flat out cannot accept right now because I am so beyond swamped at the moment, I don't think I've ever been busier, but I have played the demo and it's incredibly neat so check it out.

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

ah yes once again the racists are the real victims

In an internal Slack message obtained by The Verge, 1Password's Karimov downplayed the overtly racist comments from DHH, telling staff the following:

As I said, people have different personal opinions. You believe in your heart that DHH is evil, that you have the moral high ground, and that nothing will change your mind.
However, not everyone believes that. It is not fair to claim a monopoly and ostracize team members who might disagree with you.

There are people who are afraid to speak up simply because they will be personally attacked.

1Password's response was a weasel worded message trying to say supporting Omacom is not supporting DHH. Like the dude is currently doing the podcast rounds to promote his shitty Linux theme, while also using the platform spewing fascist dog whistles against people in the Linux communities.
