It’s kinda sorta not a game in many ways but dispatch did a decent job I thought.

The infinite scroll goes hand in hand with that type of algorithm. Even if there isn’t more content, some versions of the infinite scroll keep loading assorted shit you’ve already seen before.

It’s also part and parcel of a mindset switch from looking at some content on a fixed number of pages and then moving on with your day, to pushing the screen up forever even if you’ve already seen most of it.

It also usually makes it so that you cannot bookmark the state, and the state often reloads fresh when you hit back and you’ve lost what you’re looking at.

In other words: it fucking sucks and I hate it.

Because all infinite scrolling does is remove to annoyance of hitting next page

That is definitely not all it does.

YouTube comments are almost never worth reading in the first place (top comment is usually: who is here in <<current year>>? 😆). I never look at the descriptions, and the only time I watch YouTube is for either music videos or concert captures or links someone has sent me. Congrats YouTube, I don’t care about any of the features you turned off.

I thought about lying on my last report but decided to not. At this point they’re going to have to fire me if they can’t accept the truth. I’m not lying to save my skin.

Yeah, I don’t get too deep into that game. I do have some higher-ish quality headphones and speakers though. I also find that subwoofers are largely underrated by audio snobs.

Not here to argue I can hear the difference, because I can’t. But in audio collecting where the size and burden of even large lossless files isn’t much different from lossy files, why care? I download the flac files and compress upon delivery to the client where the space might be of a larger concern.

Hitzig said a potential “erosion of OpenAI’s own principles to maximise engagement” might already be underway at the firm.

Um, hate to break it to you bud, but there were no principles to erode.

Jackie Joyner Antifa…Join Antifa for short.

A question to nobody in particular: would it be possible to make license plate covers that are made out of the same material as those anti-facial recognition glasses?

There are alternatives, you can see the alternatives on display in various Linux distros, and hell, even Mac OS. The thing is that with Windows Microsoft doesn’t want you to think of an alternative.

It’s simply not true that the only way to do computing is to force everyone to use your trashy software or be nagged about it during every upgrade.

They are only doing this because they have the average user by the balls. Hopefully, Linux continues to get better and then that won’t be the case anymore either.

I still can’t convince my dad to just switch, but at this point running Windows is in nearly every single way worse than just running a popular Linux distro.

“A lot” is a great, quantifiable metric there, computer man! 👍👍👍📈💯🍾

AI executives don’t matter

This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.

Of course, most managers’ goal is not to become more evil and more terrible. Their goal is to attain more money and power. Becoming more evil and more terrible is simply the means toward those ends.

The people working on the software might not, but the pointy headed managers obviously are reaching for it, and in the end the people working on the software’s opinions don’t matter in the least.

Look man I know what Agile is, and I can guarantee fucking Halliburton is not amongst the most Agile companies in software. I’ve worked for government contractors (not defense contractors, sorry, I like my soul right where it is) and they all claim to follow Agile methodologies and do everything but.

However, even if they were very “Agile”, why the fuck would you plaster their logo on your homepage as if it’s a great thing that they’re using your software?

The company that makes this software is dying to become more evil and/or more terrible than even Atlassian, and I would very much not bother investing my time to learn the nuances of their begging to be acquired by Satan products.
