why is it "pit stop" and not "wroom service"

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person on earth who couldn't care less about a new GTA game.
I mean, sure, I'll probably play it several years in the future when it's on sale, but still..

@thephd@pony.social browsed some old visual gags I've done and this made me think of you
That previous brain dump reminded me of when the zoom CEO said he wants to send a bot to meetings so he can spend more time at the beach or whatever.
My reaction was to ask: does the bot speak with the voice and authority of the CEO?
If no, what's the point of the bot?
If yes, what's the point of the CEO?

@greger@oslo.town @JenJen@mastodon.art what's a check... last time (years and years ago) I had to deal with a check I couldn't find a bank in finland that accepts a check, so I had to negotiate with the payer to get my money wired instead.
If you use llm as a tool, you don't get to use it as an excuse.
The budget was wrong, excel did it!
The logo is bad, photoshop did it!
The main problem with those examples is that both of them integrate some level of llm now, but you get my point.
The lander didn't crash because powerpoint had an issue, but because humans picked a wrong tool for the job.
Gog didn't post a bad picture because llm told them to, but because human made an error. They should have just said so.

@Tijn@dosgame.club There's this game design idea that gets bounced around where you start off as full powered character and at the end of each level you have to choose which superpower to lose. And the enemies naturally keep getting stronger.
That's kinda like racing game equivalent.

@saaste@mementomori.social Se mitä mä ihmettelen on ihmiset jotka pyöräilee silleen että kypärä roikkuu tangosta.
Lapsilla sen tavallaan ymmärtää koska vanhemmat on sanonu että kypärä mukaan, mutta ku samaa näkee aikuisilla kanssa.
Käytä kypärää tai älä käytä kypärää, mut miks ottaa kypärä mukaan jos sitä ei käytä..
First book of Asimov's foundation done. One good side of old scifi is that the books were reasonably short.

@GDCPresoReviews@mastodon.gamedev.place I think they've answered a bunch of those questions somewhere.
Like, for testing, they generated walls of screenshots of random planets and when something looked really off at a glance they'd debug it.
If "back to the future" was made today, they would travel back to the ancient history of 1996

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place If you can, read this book. It's a wonderfully self-ignorant description of one of the biggest dot-com disasters: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/69799.Boo_Hoo
In it, people who want to make a fashion web store go and ask venture capitalists for money, and they answer that you're asking for too little. That they should ask for 10x more. Or 100x more. So they did. And burned it all, in a fabulous chaotic mess. The store barely even launched.

@ssundell@mastodontti.fi Kun omassa sosiaalisessa kuplassani kaikki tuntuvat olevan jollain tasolla näitä ai-liikkeitä vastaan enemmän tai vähemmän agressiivisesti, niin pohdin mikähän on ns. tavallisen tallaajan näkökulma asiaan, välittääkö asiasta oikeasti valtaosa ihmisistä?
Kuukelin bisnesliikkeen ymmärrän omalla tavallaan siksi koska tuntevat chatgpt:n ja clauden ja kavereiden olevan ensimmäinen oikea kilpailija hakukoneelle. Miksi tappaa toimiva systeemi samalla, sitä en tosin ymmärrä..

@Janne6nen@mementomori.social Tartun tuohon trollaukseen ja sanon että lihaniilona mielestäni ruuan pitää olla hyvää, sama se onko siinä lihaa tai ei. Eli hyvä ruoka ei välttämättä lihaa kaipaa.
Sitä en tajua kun tehdään kasvisruokaa joka "korvaa" jonkun liharuuan. Olen mielenkiinnosta koittanut näitä uusia kasvisjuustoja, makkaroita ja kasvisleikkeleitä, eikä ne oikeasti toimi.
Parempi mielestäni tehdä vaan rehellistä, hyvää, kasvisruokaa.

@dadbod Looked up the repair instructions for kobo color. Okay. It's theoretically possible for a mortal to do it. The primary fix you'd want to do is replace the battery, which I *guess* is possible, but you lose the water proofing in the process. If the moterboard is broken, you might as well buy a new device.

@pastelexuvia I'm so glad I ordered one of those today.
Started reading Asimov's Foundation. When it comes to old sci-fi, it's on a totally different level.
Thought of a "fun" rule addition to chess:
If at any point there is a situation where one (and only one) of your own pieces (with exception of your queen) threatens your king, you lose. This simulates the domestic politics.
If several pieces threaten the king at the same time, he's safe, since the would-be assassins watch each other.

@bombadillo@mastodontti.fi @Janne6nen@mementomori.social Eli kontekstin huomioon ottaen olet sitä mieltä että kasvisruuan muuttaminen etäisesti juuston tai leikkeleen näköiseksi on jotenkin terveyteen tai eettisyyteen liittyvää, sen sijaan että vaan tehtäis hyvää kasvisruokaa?

@bombadillo@mastodontti.fi @Janne6nen@mementomori.social Kyllä mä tiedän mikä se aikomus on, se ei vaan tunnu toimivan. Sen sijaan vois kehittää jotain uutta joka olis vaan hyvää, eikä yrittäis "korvata lihaa". Se on se mun koko pointti tässä.

@peter@thepit.social isn't this just a normal NIMBY reaction? Everybody loves electricity, but don't want power plants in their neighborhood..
Had this idea of a meme for no particular reason.
The stalls mostly sell what seems, at first, hand-made items, but they are way too identical. Some stalls sell unfamiliar foods, but their smells still remind you of how long ago you had anything to eat.
A couple of people with official looking clothes walk near the stalls, and you can sense that other people are wary of them.

Trying not to attract any attention, you go to a booth and show great interest in what you suspect is a very ornate bottle opener. It has a wooden handle which looks like it's been carved by hand, but all of the items are perfectly identical.
People around you grow quiet and you sense that the official-looking people are coming closer.

@mhoye I mostly use Firefox, but have to switch to edge for many web stores :(
You make your way to the port, and wonder about the massive ships, bigger than some towns you've seen. Made of metal! How do they float?
Smaller boats line the pier, some selling fishing products. At least something is normal here. There's also a line of market stalls, and a church nearby attracts your attention.
Any Norwegians out there who could recommend things to do/see in Bergen this summer?

@bombadillo@mastodontti.fi @Janne6nen@mementomori.social okei, kokeilemistani "feikkilihatuotteista" vöner on ollut ehkä toimivin, mutta se perustuu pitkälti vahvoihin mausteisiin. Ehkä idea on siinä että jos teet feikki-kinkku feikki-juusto sämpylän, pitää sinne myös töräyttää joku habanero soossi tms..
Mutta mieluummin laitan sen sämpylän väliin ihan vaan kurkkua ja tomaattia.
Jaahas, ja proton mail ilmesesti sponssaa äärioikeistoa..
