Workplace temperature regulation isn't even just for kitchen workers - though they are among the most effective - even in tech I've worked in offices that got up to dangerous temperatures because all the cooling was directed to the server room. Talking like high 40s most of the day.

I mean, everyone I've known who started using AI almost instantly became super defensive about it while AI also became all they talk about, maybe it was that crowd leaving?

Estimates found workers already waste 3.4 hours a month cleaning up the AI schlock, amounting to a monthly loss of $8.1 million for a workplace with 10,000 employees. wow it's almost like WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO

So because they can't stop their alleged hyper intelligence from communicating at a negligible bitrate, they will continue to run their hacker larping llms with access to the live internet and profit off of their scaremongering.

I think the idea is that they roll the slop machine until they get passable results, and then abandon the result success or fail because they are making disposable software. Like there's a zillion GUI game launcher apps for Linux now that have come out only to be abandoned in a month or two.

Hell I'm a TDD person and even then an llm told to write code that passes the tests will do exactly so, so unless your tests are psychotically rigorous you'll never be sure the intended spec is met. Plus integration errors are still an issue left uncovered.

I imagine the sticking point is that the current ruling part has absorbed a bunch of MPs from our very own fascist party who don't even want immigrants if they are white anymore it seems. Still bilateral freedom of movement would be amazing with the EU, and I'm hopeful we'd get there eventually.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I would say we should bring it back, but also I can't imagine a more thankless and miserable job than running a social media site. I think Myspace Tom is the only on who made it out unscathed.

For being basically a bunch of random-ass plugins in a trenchcoat the interoperability of everything in nextcloud is kind of insane. Like the ability to basically embed anything from any plugin into the basic text document filetype is something that I'd miss if I ever had to go back to gdocs.

Plus PC DRM is more of a speed bump than anything. Even if valve shuttered much of the catalogue could probably be emancipated. Meanwhile scores of xbox live arcade games from the 360 are just lost media forever.

Yup! It was a completely rational thing to do. Very normal. Didn't cause any problems on systems with only 512mb RAM to play with. None at all.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.
A red poster with a white logo (a polygonal heart lifted by 2 hands) and the title "United Videogame Workers – Hardship Fund", followed by this copy:

"UVW-CWA stands for every game worker: for those still employed and fighting for union contracts and those who have been callously treated as disposable by executives who've never shipped a title. 

We are proud to announce our launch of a hardship fund for game workers across the US and Canada who have been subjected to layoffs. If you are a game worker in need of support, please apply."

Below the text is a link to the initiative (as in the post) and the UVW-CWA logo.

Hopefully this is able to help some of our fellow workers get through these times. And, selfishly, helps even more workers see how mass unionization is the only way forward for our industry to go.

Good on you. Honestly I've been debating setting up mirrors for my public repos on code berg for awhile. I already moved all my private stuff onto a self-hosted forgejo instance. I think eventually github's deep investment and promotion of slop will push even godot off the platform.

Check for dangling references to nodes that have been removed. Could also be a tool script that is still trying to run despite the node it was on being removed if it connected to a signal via code.

About a year ago I went cold-turkey on music streaming platforms. For the most part bandcamp has been able to fill the void and help me find new music. But goddamn is the site unusable when you have a lot of random singles in your library, or want to download a new batch of music.

Unity's Senior Product Marketing and Go-To-Market Leader releasing a video essay about how she hates seeing queer people in games really seals the deal in terms of switching to Godot, huh. If Unity's senior marketing staff doesn't want to see queer people in their games, done. Deal. Can do. So long.
