I mean, it’s not like we see our intellectual best come from the military. Most of them become fucking pigs and abusers.

Turns out they liposuctioned brain cells to use as filler for those lips and airbags.

I read this as shortening development time (“quicker”), not necessarily reducing the sheer amount of slop they pile in and call “content.”

This is absolutely c-suites pushing for constant development to be a smoother, faster repetition; lots of DLC, or SaaS.

I have zero of that family anymore. It was literally how they made my partner feel that made me snap and just be done with them all. My partner is more important to me than their abuse and disrespect. It was merely nostalgia for some kind of Stockholm Syndrome anyways. I don’t need it, and at some point if I hadn’t done something, it’d be my disrespect to my partner to not deal with that family of mine.

There’s potentially a conversation that you both deserve better.

Why do people need excuses? Why do people waste their lives lying? Just say it like it is:

You know what you’re saying. You know what you’re doing. You can either be a mature and respectful adult, or we can leave.

It was how my family treated my partner that finally helped me snap. No contact for a decade. Fuck those assholes. They never learn and have no respect to for others. I would hope a good partner would take notice of how their family is.

I don’t understand why people put up with shitty family amd pretend to have common values or interests. What a waste of your precious life.

In OPs case, I’d straight up tell them they know exactly what they’re doing, and if they were mature and respectful, they would stop.

If they don’t, fucking leave.

Best thing I ever learned from someone else:

Would I associate with these people if they weren’t blood?

Go learn simple regression analysis (not necessarily the commenter, but anyone). Then you’ll understand why it’s simply a prediction machine. It’s guessing probabilities for what the next character or word is. It’s guessing the average line, the likely followup. It’s extrapolating from data.

This is why there will never be “sentient” machines. There is and always will be inherent programming and fancy ass business rules behind it all.

We simply set it to max churn on all data.

Also just the training of these models has already done the energy damage.

Wait for Gen X to pop in as usual and seek attention with some “we always get ignored” bullshit.

I’ve watched this go down long enough in enough industries to know better than to believe their claim of not logging.

You’re being watched. Hell, your data’s probably being handed over to cops without your knowledge.

Knowing a company is watching me because it’s openly known, is to me better than paying a company to not watch me and likely risk them simply selling out eventually like they all do.

It’s funnier when you stupidly expected them to protect you, PAID them for it, and they don’t.

It’s like 23andme. Too fucking funny and everyone deserves it for their stupidity.

But also Valve will support it.

I bought one of those physical Steam Links nobody cared about. They didn’t do well and Valve ended it fairly quickly. 10 years later it still gets occasional updates from them and benefits from broader Steam Big Picture updates.

Steam Deck has been a huge success. Of course they’ll continue to support it.

VPNs are wild to me. “Hey! Pay some company to promise not to watch you so you can pretend to be private and not have some company watching you.”
