My first job out of uni was developing an internal system for a company.

On a certain day, I was the first of my team to arrive. Before I could even get to my desk, a distressed colleague stopped me.

“Hey, can you help me? The system is broken! The tables are cutting off and everything is in the wrong place.” he says.

We go to his desk and he shows me the problem. I grab the mouse and click the Windows maximize button.

“Oh! Thanks, it’s fixed.”

That guy worked there for decades and earned over five times more than me.

I had a coworker who had constant issues with her laptop. Whenever she tried showing it to me, the issue magically fixed itself.

After this happened multiple times, she would just ask me to quickly touch the laptop to fix it. Worked every time!

I am a software developer. A few months ago, a recruiter sent me a job description with one requirement being “believing that software developers will be replaced by AI within a few years”.

Bullshit like that makes me seriously consider changing careers if I lose my current job.

I had the same feeling. Most of the trailers shown were shooters, action RPGs, live service games, sequels, wuxia and anime.

No wonder Expedition 33 won so many prizes. The competition is too busy regurgitating the same slop over and over and over…

It can’t be worse than what the current management has been doing for the past decade.

Hopefully we will finally get a new decent Batman Arkham game.

Disney groomed us to believe the ultra rich are good guys. Looks like they succeeded.

Reminds of a South Park game where the difficulty slider is the character skin color slider

Also also also: Capybaras

And this is why science shouldn’t be beheld to the whims of politicians and capitalists

Turns out the ancient Egyptians were right all along!

I had a boss who thought I was slacking off when I opened the “incomprehensible black screen with random letters and numbers”.

My theory is that C-suites are actually using “AI efficiency gain” as an excuse for laying off workers without scaring the shareholders.

“I didn’t lay off 10% of the workforce because the company is failing. It’s because… uhmmmm… AI! I have replaced them with AI! Please give us more money.”

I don’t want to start

Any blasphemous rumours

But I think that God

Got a sick sense of humour

And when I die

I expect to find him laughing

Yeah, that one…

I once had a junior calling me in a panic because he didn’t know how to quit nano. NANO!

“Open up! This is the Cat Distribution System. Do not resist!”

Digital Foundry compared the first movie with Kingdom Hearts 3 back in 2017. Worth a watch.

I must still have a Pentium S with Windows 98 back at my mom’s house. Now I am wondering if it could run Linux.

“updated package-lock.json”

Musk started out as just a dick then turned full fascist. I bet Jobs wouldn’t be too far behind if he was alive.

The guy died from a treatable cancer because he listened to a health guru instead of doctors. I bet he would be an antivax idiot gulping down horse dewormer to prevent COVID-19 if was alive today.
