What you need to do is stop walking outside or using public transportation. Get a personal vehicle that blocks the worst outside noises. Then only go to places with large parking lots or a "drive-thru".

Your health might suffer in other ways, but at least it'll be different! Also, it'll use up a lot more of your income! win-win!

Tux?

Absolutely! Though all statistics are biased. In this case they have a reality bias against my Meta bias...

Heh, sure enough. I hadn't paid attention to threads at all. My "meta is total shit" bias led me wrong. Weird. Either way, the correction is appreciated!

I assume this only effected "meta" employees? Who else would notice?

I think their point is that Accenture is proud to have "innovated" that idea.

Correction: Investors loved AI slop!

Heh, that's a great reply. I tell my kids that anything posted to the internet is forever public. One kid still seems to think that "influencer" is a proper career, so I'm not sure my message is being accepted...

That doesn't look specific enough. To clear things up, I propose the following: ROG Xbox Ally compact portable entertainment system brought to you by ASUS in conjunction with Microsoft X.

They seem to imply that'll be their magic bullet. To even the most casual observers, this is a strange claim...

You can install other game stores on the Steam Deck. You switch to desktop mode and install whatever works with a Linux desktop. Xbox cloud works, as well.

I'm not the AC, but if I were Netflix I'd start giving "offending" accounts long unskippable commercials every five minutes. I'd also contact their employer to say their employee is a thief. Then I'll claim I know what kind of dog they have.

As a human I'd find those tactics horrifying, but thinking like a multinational corporation makes those options seem plausible.

For me, it makes me less likely to try a new or rebranded feature when they name it copilot. I find copilot to be a pain in the ass, so anything with copilot branding will be ignored or removed (when possible).

He supposedly isn't involved in business operations these days, but yet, it looks skeezy no matter what.

As for politicians being involved in insider trading, most congressional people are. They all use technicalities to claim they aren't, but they all seem to become incredibly shrewd investors after they join congress. Unfortunately they kind of police themselves (since no DOJ wants to bother with stopping it...), so nothing changes.

"Tough on crime" for the sake of winning elections is an absolute joke. Their solutions are detrimental and often lead to shifty practices like changing the way crimes are reported. Businesses in our downtown area are angry about having zero police presence. If five businesses are victimized in the same 24 hour period, it gets counted as a single crime. (For some reason "defund the police" caused a huge drop in the number of officers. Now they can't get enough applicants to fill the open positions.) Hell, they stopped prosecuting for theft of items valued under $750. For some reason, the business owners still felt like victims.

My only point in this reply is to agree that "tough on crime" as a policy is stupid. We need actual solutions to improve safety and prevent creating huge numbers of victims. Unfortunately, it's a very tough problem to solve.
