Whenever I get a 3-day weekend, it feels like that’s how a normal weekend should be.
When I get a 4-day weekend, it feels luxurious.
Those 4-day work weeks are nearly as productive as the 5-day work weeks. Those 3-day work weeks are tight. But I could make it work if I really had to! Lmao
Exactly. That makes it all the more damning.
If I bought a game and it suddenly became racist with an update, I’d want a refund.
These people just have backwards moral systems.
I feel like I could be running a locally-hosted LLM powered by renewable energy trained on open-source datasets and I’d still get angry comments from someone active in c/piracy
Red and Blue had the same graphics outside of Japan. People seeing these boxes weren’t choosing between sprite work.
In fact, going by the Japanese versions, it was Blue that we never got. Red and Blue outside of Japan were just reskinned Red and Green.
Hence why one of the trainers being able to talk about the Raichu that you traded him evolving – it came from the script of the wrong version of the game (I’m guessing Blue) even though the games have the Red/Green trades (I think).
You might have known this, but adding for clarity that the west still got Red/Green under the hood but with Blue’s sprites shared between both games.
They took your use of “everyone” personally, I think
Lmao. “When I said broad, I didn’t mean broad, I meant notmal”. And you go around calling other people idiots…
Why are you being this way? Are you usually like this?
I wonder if the people has believed the 5g conspiracy fantasies feel remotely foolish
They don’t. In fact, they don’t believe they were wrong. They’ve cherry-picked their array of half-truths and benign or unprovable conspiracy theories and have never reevaluated since. Or they’ve morphed their beliefs into cheap versions of the nonsense they once took as true.
Even with the covid vaccine conspiracy theories. They were saying that everyone who took the vaccine would die.
To maintain their “rightness”, when questioned, they will point to the statistics of the non-zero number of people who did die from taking the vaccine.
When pointed out that the actual number is much closer to 0 than the 100% that they had been saying in 2021 or so, they will argue that there’s a coverup or something. Or that they didn’t literally mean 100% of people.
Obviously they meant whatever would make them right. Some people can hardly fathom the fact that they believed something to be incorrect.
On the point of tonogenesis in Korean, that actually solves the tense consonant issue for English speakers!
Please step down from your high horse.
“Before tech” and “great granddaddy” and “local Trader Joe’s” are 3 different time periods. Sure they could’ve just chosen one, but it might not be what OP was curious about.
An individual who’s curious enough to ask the question would probably be curious enough to further drill down to a specific time period that they’re curious about. This could have led into good discussion.
If you want something that just tells you an answer and doesn’t question you or ask you to clarify, then you can use an LLM. If you want conversation, you can use Lemmy.
I think it still counts as a ride crash, which lowers the park rating
Cra, bankrupted the company because we rolled Natural 1s…Wingdings.
I know that I was being snarky and not “just asking a question”, because “I don’t care about consequences the ecosystem” is a silly stance to take.
It’s likely they were making a joke, so yeah, my aggression was probably too heavy in retrospect.
Lol! The point of asking questions is to learn, not to give answers.
And I did learn from at least one or two other interesting answers!
There are many things in tech that have stagnated, or become standards that we’re stuck with. But we’re stuck with them not because nobody can do better, but because replacing them requires convincing the whole world to replace them.
Like email 2.0? You’d need it to be fully compatible with email 1.0, or nobody’s switching. And if it is fully compatible, you’re probably making compromises on how much it improves over 1.0.
On the other hand, as an end-user, my experience with email is easier than it was 20 years ago. This isn’t the technology changing, but email clients making things better and more accessible for the end user.
As to your other point, we don’t need “thinking machines” or “electronic telepathy” to consider the feasibility of technology replacing or reducing the need for certain types of jobs. Like I said, 20 years is a long time. Some things stay the same, yes, but many change.
You’re absolutely right that technology isn’t accelerating as quickly as it used to.
Still, things have changed quite a bit in the last 20 years. Cloud computing, for instance, didn’t need much to change in terms of the technical possibilities, or even in terms of the availability of consumer hardware. Groundbreaking changes can still happen without needing the baseline technology to improve.
Thank you for the info! I’m still hesitant about unknown consequences, but I’m far from an expert in that area.
X = “to”?
