Something about this is absolutely hilarious to me. Sad though when thinking about it critically.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the worst book anyone has ever recommended you?
1·27 days agoTotally worth it to read the second and third. The first book almost feels unrelated but it’s got some crucial context that gets built on to the extreme later Easily my top 5 sci-fi

Say what you want they are making a shit load of money and they/their investors are very happy with the trajectory of the company and it’s stock.

26·2 months agoUhh, going to need to see some evidence of that. Literally never heard of non indie devs getting royalties or continued payments based off the success of the game.
Actually I’ll correct myself, rockstar is the only company I’ve heard of that does big internal payouts post launch. Most of Rockstars game launches have resulted in new houses for some of their teams.
Got any other examples to share?

Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL why you're not supposed to cook or drink hot tap water - it's the lead (and other heavy metals)
10·2 months agoHe did already and that’s why we know most dishwashers (in the US) are fed by one line coming from the hot water tap.

Hardware@lemmy.world•Meta can't afford its $600B [data centre spend] love letter to TrumpEnglish
3·2 months agoBurrys bet isn’t even against the whole bubble bursting. He’s specifically targeting one company who does “AI” for the government and the other is the shovel seller…
If Burry was anti AI and thought the whole bubble would burst he might have spread his shorts across the likes of the commercial AI product sellers, but he hasn’t.
Burry thinks Palantir will go tits up (we should all hope for this) and that Nvidia won’t pivot fast enough post AI gold rush

51·2 months agoMeta isn’t even mentioned in this article. I get how they seem connected but Burrys bet was against Palantir and Nvidia. This news about meta is tangentially related maybe but not a sure sign of Burrys bet

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's happened from July to September 2025 that might make people Google "Worst timeline"?
3·2 months agoMaybe, but if I wanted to read what a LLM said I’d have asked myself.

But it’s likely I already agreed to the strings when I agreed to my company’s demand that we use Teams.
Bingo. The licenses were agreed to when the product was purchased, not when you click “yes, ok, show me the tutorial”
I mean it sucks and I don’t use these tools either despite them being forced into my work machine, but if you’re getting psychic damage every morning bc the pop up you could just click through it and ignore the shit tools from there. That’s all I’m saying, your sanity is worth clicking a few buttons.
Great. Sorry for confusing you with my vague “your company did x” in my previous reply. I was trying to refer to the OP commenter I replied to in this thread. If a feature is enabled and provisioned to you, it’s largely true that your company has already accepted the license agreement for you to use it. I wish my company didn’t shove ai everywhere but many are and as employees (in the US atelast) we don’t have any ability to not agree to these terms.
This is incorrect, the license agreement is accepted upon purchase and provisioning to users. You, as a user, clicking through the onboarding tutorial is not the license agreement.
It’s a work computer and your it team and legal department has already approved usage of these tools. Sure, you do whatever you think is right but your company has already agreed to that license. You are already bound by it through your employment and usage of employer provided tools
It’s a work computer (it has teams on it). It’s already enabled and collecting data as approved by the IT team. Why do you care?
You could just click yes, do whatever two minute intro it has and then ignore the feature forever from there.
Instead you click no every time and complain that it pops up again the next time, knowing that it’ll pop up again tomorrow
Listen I hate these tools too but you have a solution here that’ll make it so the tool will stop pestering you so that you can truly ignore it.

Canada@lemmy.ca•U.S. Senate votes 50-46 to nullify Trump tariffs on Canada, with four Republicans crossing aisle
2·2 months agoOh so they can change the rules any time they want? (They’ve always been able to do this).
Ask yourself, why don’t they change the rules to allow them to bypass Dems and open the government?
Something something they want it closed.

4·2 months agoIf I wanted to talk to NPCs at length I’d just type into a fucking chat bot. I play games to experience the developers story and vision, not endlessly prompt an npc.
I think your experience will be a common one for players.

Love that Four Tet has become a stalwart of the music scene. With such varied tastes and the ability to blend them all into cohesive sets constantly, hopefully he remains active for a long time.
