I managed to get everything moved over except some google data, man they are bastards. I am happy to be a little more extracted from their ecosystem though.

My interest depends on their dlc policy. I play 4x games with friends and some of my friends can’t always buy the latest cool dlc. I want to be able to play with stuff I paid for even when I play with them.

Yeah, running /e/ on the new phone, so it isn’t an option.

I think the indie scene is still where the best games are at. Currently enjoying Caves of Qud but it’s not for everyone.

Even if the vaccine caused autism (which it does not), that would still be better than polio.

The public reaction is what scares them. They are entirely disconnected from the consequences their actions impose on the public and can’t imagine why their “customers” would be cheering the death of their peer. They don’t think Brian Thompson did anything wrong, maximizing shareholder value is a noble goal after all, so from their perspective the public just seems bloodthirsty.

I do enjoy how GenX doesn’t appear at all. Very appropriate.

If those were legitimate murders the body politic has ways of shutting that down.

You don’t even need to ditch the whole gun, just the barrel. People are looking for a gun but might overlook the one component ballistics needs to link the weapon to the shooter.

Before the ACA, the Democrats were calling for single payer, not quite M4A but much better than what we got. The ACA was modeled on the Republicans healthcare reform package. Since then the Democrats have been defending the signature plan of Obama even though it is literally the plan their opposition created. Of course, Republicans don’t have a plan and many people voting today don’t remember what it was like in the 00’s where insurers would just dump people when they got sick or jack their rates up so high it wouldn’t be affordable.

The weird thing is that when I first joined the workforce in the 90s insurance was actually better than it is today and less expensive.

The professional killer was the one who died.

It was probably more than that when I was there and I’m just misremembering the org chart, it was some time ago.

Without question. This guy is not important and nobody will protect him. Most people don’t realize that banks hand out that particular title like candy. When I worked at JPMC, I was an associate (nobody important) and my manager was a vice president. There were 7 levels of management between me and the CIO.

Just to be clear. Vice President is a title one step above Associate. There are tens of thousands of vice presidents there and at most other banks. It doesn’t mean he has any authority in the company.

This play is so obvious. The judge wants to be sued or reprimanded or removed to get the matter to the SCOTUS just so they can rule that gay people can’t get married if any official involved in the process objects on religious grounds.

While I am certainly not going to defend Thomson, his death isn’t going to make anything better and might result in things getting worse. Anyone who thinks terrifying executives will result in the target’s changing for the better has probably not met a CEO of a major company before.

Just a slight pedantic nitpick. Given the enormous cost of training, it is unlikely Google trains or finetunes models for individual channels.

The model was likely trained on millions of creator comments, possibly including Russell, but not necessarily.

Gemini has a large context limit, the bot loads the context with that channels comments along with the comment it is replying to. _
