I don’t think these computers where designed in the Netherlands

dressing up in a costume -> hobby

harassing people -/-> hobby

the dissonance in these two posts

the ceo is just the effect, not the cause. the us laws allow such bullshit and do not protect the weak (at all). what this one ceo did was, like what many other ceo’s do, immoral but legal. you cant jail someone for legal stuff.

change the system and force them to adhere to modern moral standards. if they try to pull some bs now, it is quite easy to lock them away.

you are painting an oversimplified picture.

“i am sure you’d have preferred Gandhi to pick up a gun because he was met with violence?” we can chase eachother with such oversimplifications forever.

reality is much more complicated than such simple statements. so lets not use their inflammatory nature and focus on the actual problem. which, in that case seems, that people feel disbanded by sociaty to such a degree.

that’s a nice thought. however, life is not a hollywood movie, so i wouldn’t count on it.

right now we don’t have any real customers that use it - as the plugin did not sell yet.

but from testing at customer sites with real people that would use it - we got only positive feedback. which is not hard to imagine: the RAG + LLM enables less experienced users to navigate a huge and complex network of information.

but it for sure is also a buzzword execs like to see: they talked to us because we have AI. saw that the main product is good. bought the main product and decided the AI is too expensive.

in the end it doesn’t matter to me. the 2w of AI was a fun sidequest and it left us with a passive boost for sales.

i know it is an unpopular opinion around here. but currently AI features open doors for sales. that is important.

for the software i help develop, we introduced an optional AI integration. just its presence allowed us to sell the main SW multiple times. the AI plugin was never sold so far.

investment AI: 2 weeks of gluecode. i am not concerned with finances, but that plugin is for sure net positive.

that’s the great thing: you don’t have to use it

as the screenshot shows, it is opt-in

then stay at twitter 🤷‍♂️ for now blue sky is many people’s choice for a reason.

no need be angry at steam. that is how it always has been. kudos to them to point it out very cleanly and not hiding it on page 400 of the 3rd EULA.

totally agree that parents need a break and a good drink. hell it is exhausting. but please avoid just putting them Infront of a screen. get the grandparents to look after them, let them sleep over at a friend’s house, organise a nanny. as a society we are already too often starring at screens.

The nazi symbol is always drawn in one way (卐). while the religious symbol can be drawn any direction, i usually see it the other way around (卍). could be that religious users want to distance themselves from shaved morons…

seems like there have been multiple contributors. so many clones of the repo…

that is great, that you can organise work and kids that way! in my estimate, you see your kids more than many 9 to 6 workers

make your own call to action, decide for yourself. you don’t need random strangers on the internet showing you the directiosn. they already showed you where you stand, go and make your own path.

well, there are quite a lot of stupid things i did as a kid. kids just need to learn critical thinking through experience.

i would guess, that a large audience of youtube is kids: except retirees, they usually have the most free time.

I don’t know how it would apply to painting minies. but there is definitely starter gear, which is better than ‘pro’ stuff - just by being friendly.

i climb and now that i am a bit better i use shoes about 2 sizes too small and have a pretty aggressive arch. bouldering in them is comfortable and i like them. but if i had them as my beginner shoes - i would have quit because that just hurts if you are not used to it. so i do see a benefit in beginner gear, even if you will eventually outgrow it.

that mentality is probably what most ppl started with. however, youtube burnt quite a lot of bridges. i would assume, that many ppl, just like me, wont do the 3 clicks to disable adblock for youtube.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.
