I thought this was missing in the text too, but it’s valve, they’re well know for treating their employees much better than other companies. Tech interns are almost always paid, even by the more exploitive companies.
I wouldn’t assume this was an unpaid intern or that they didn’t get a bonus for saving valve just because there’s nothing mentioned in the article.
There was a bunch of weird rebadged Ubuntu derivatives back in the day.

This probably isn’t a hallucination in the classic sense.
This is probably a near copy of a forum post where a user was channeling fight club and trying to be funny. The same as the putting glue on pizza thing.
And guardrails don’t work very well. They’re good at detection tone but much worse at detection content. So an appropriately guardrailed LLM will never call someone a “fucking ######” but it’ll keep telling everyone that segalis have an IQ of 40 until there’s such a PR backlash that an updated is needed.
I didn’t think so. It’s a deliberate design decision by the developers to make it really hard to compute.
This is actually something where Bluesky is doing more interesting federated things than Lemmy or Mastodon, and let’s you use your own algorithm while with both Lemmy and Mastodon you’re stuck with standard algorithms.
None of the alternative algorithms are particularly compelling yet, they’re mostly topic feeds, but who knows what’ll happen.
And yet you’re on Lemmy which also has a hot feed.
The things is you can do both, and it’s hard and unrewarding to find interesting things on Mastodon. So I stopped trying.
The really dumb things is the new feed is also an algorithm. You’re just proud that it’s not very good.
It’s just a mathematical inevitablity that it won’t work well.
Most people’s posts are not as good as their best ones and if I’m just going to dip into a site I’d like to see things I’m interested in that other people also thought were good.
Some people don’t like to use social media like that though, and more power to you if Mastodon scratches your itch.
Yeah but most toots are boring, and the chronological feed, and refusal to even hide repeated posts by the same person, does Masterdon absolutely no favors.
I think the last time I logged in my new feed was entirely posts by Cory doctro, who just decided to toot an entire article, and after I clicked more posts enough, it was just showing pictures of someone else’s cup of tea.
There’s a hacky bridge that’s meant to allow for it, but Bluesky uses a different protocol, so no they can’t without a bunch of effort.

Yeah I tried to move to Mastodon but without a hot feed it’s just so boring.
Unfortunately only Bluesky and Lemmy seem to be attempting a decentralized hot feed, and Lemmy is too quiet for niche topics, and Bluesky is only decentralized in theory.
That’s probably more a stalling tactic then anything else.
The longer they can run down the clock, the greater the chance is that Trump dismantles the FCC before the case is over, and even if he doesn’t do that it lets them keep selling data for longer.
Privacy badger does this.
Every embedded link to Twitter requires you to click to enable them.
Wainwright has already condemned it and Leonard Cohen’s estate has issued a cease and desist order in response.
I’m expecting the full Elvis.
Dies on the toilet while eating a big Mac.
I thought it was someone watching their partner give/receive oral sex and cycling through anger and depressed acceptance.
Fuck palantir, I want to know how Sauron is voting.
They recommend that you do vote, and don’t vote for anyone except Harris.
But they don’t explicitly recommend you vote for Harris.
This is super serious voting strategy you guys.
It’s not really legal in the UK. It’s unenforceable on claims under 5k and for claims over 5k the courts will make a case by case decision if arbitration is appropriate.
However, lots of companies still add these bullshit clauses as a way to bully people out of seeing a lawyer.
Both. It’s satire.
The “benefit” of world hunger is that it keeps people locked in their place and entrenches the status quo. This is actually true, and the author believes it, but he doesn’t like it.
Many people benefit from world hunger though, and every time you hear that poverty is a hard problem to solve you should ask yourself, how much of that is actual problems and how much is the status quo resisting change?
And all the doom games.
Technically it died and was resurrected.
