I just love @Microsoft and @LinkedIn . After so many public cases about consent, etc, they just create new ācategoriesā of notifications and automatically sign you up. Iām sure itās in the TOS somewhere, but itās just some crazy PM looking to pump their āemail openedā numbers, with no real tracking of āuser disabled notification, unsubscribed, or uninstalled the appā.
I remember when LinkedIn was useful š
I know there's some whole "IP and publisher" thing behind the HBS Battletech not getting any sequels of updates. But how awesome would the Battletech world be if they just kept churning out DLCs and expansions like they do for MW5:Mercernaries? Sigh.
Playing Battletech 2018 on career mode with all mess of hard modifiers. Lost one of my starter Vindicators and Iāve been limping along from system to system trying to avoid financial ruin.
Then headshotted a Warhammer on a simple ācarrierā mission on Mandalas.
Chat, Iām about to start crushing my foes!
I saw someone use this neurohelmet sketch by
@gambargin in an AI discussion and realized it was doing numbers without anyone knowing about Battletech. Itās a wild time to be alive š¤£
Listen, read the article. Itās focusing on burning tokens and the hype bros being full of hype and then concluding āAI is gonna crater soon.ā
Nope. Do we have serious issues to overcome? Sure. But this thing is a juggernaut for very valid reasons.
'The free lunch is over. Google says demand has risen sevenfold over the past year. But now the real cost of AI is finally beginning to emerge, and the consequences are cataclysmic' I Writes @AndrewOrlowski

The first company to make a user aligned AI that isnāt my nanny is gonna win.
I hate my bundle-of-weights lecturing me on random things. Iām a grown man. I donāt need you lecturing me to āremember sunscreenā and other such bull š
Kid: I think I actually prefer Mac for just about everything. But I donāt know what I do about games.
Me: Welcome to the reality we all must face. Iām sorry.
Me: at a Japanese aquarium.
peaceful day, families everywhere, soft piano music.
then I notice one employee SPEED WALKING past us carrying bucket.
Employee: Excuse me.
another employee runs by, then another.
suddenly whole aquarium staff moving with Avengers-level urgency.
Me: ...
Friend: Something happened.
we follow crowd to penguin section.
absolute chaos, one penguin missing.
not metaphorically, ACTUALLY escaped.
staff members whispering intensely into walkie-talkies.
tiny child beside me: The criminal has escaped.
Me: WHY DID HE SAY IT LIKE THAT.
then I spot the penguin.
bro is BOOKING IT down hallway at shocking speed.
sliding on stomach around corners like furry torpedo.
staff chasing respectfully.
one employee holding fish like hostage negotiator.
Employee: Kenta please.
PENGUIN'S NAME IS KENTA.
Kenta ignores authority completely, runs directly into souvenir shop.
now people buying keychains while rogue penguin commits grand theft atmosphere.
finally old aquarium worker appears.
everyone parts ways dramatically.
this man kneels down calmly.
pulls out single sardine.
Kenta stops immediately.
walks over with zero shame.
Old Worker: Enough adventure.
penguin allows himself to be carried away like drunk friend after party.
crowd applauds.
Friend whispering: He'll do it again.
Honestly? absolutely.
Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the āventā at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by @WillClay25
Hilarious watching all of X wake up and begin to pontificate about how deconstructionism is bad.
Been yelling and grousing about this ever since I encountered it in an Am Lit course in college back in the mists of time š
Iām gonna give @Walgreens one more chance (heading to the store now) to get my location right for my scrips. Every single time they continue to deliver it half way across the country.
After this, itās time to switch to @cvspharmacy š
Just throwing this out there: what is the point of the Apple App Store and its review if they let apps send you ads in notifications?
All the random things where Apple claims to be protecting users and I canāt leave my airline app notifications on without getting spammed weekly.
Ok, I havenāt played Pragmata (yet), but Iāve seen the trailers and gameplay, and as a dad ⦠so help me, if something bad happens to Diana ā¦
Guys, I already ugly cry and tense up when kids are in danger in movies now. Iām not sure I can handle this in a video game š
