A Duo outage seems... yeah, just real bad.

reMarkable 2 is more than half-off today on Amazon! But I think I want the Kobo Elipsa 2E instead because it's also running linux and has a beefier processor for when I feel like doing stupid things to it...

The two hardest problems in computer science are packaging and deployment, actually.

@eaton neat, does that predate @cstross calling corporations “slow AI” on the same premise?

Apple apologizes for iPad ad

“Creativity is in our DNA at Apple, and it’s incredibly important to us to design products that empower creatives all over the world,” said Tor Myhren, the company’s VP of marketing communications. “Our goal is to always celebrate the myriad of ways users express themselves and bring their ideas to life through iPad. We missed the mark with this video, and we’re sorry.”

Interestingly, Google used the same language to conclude its apology for its generative AI’s historical depictions of race. It explained its intention with flowery language and then said “But it’s missing the mark here”.

I wonder if we’ll be seeing more of this type of response to corporate tone-deafness (a generous term) going forward. Big “I’m sorry you feel that way (but this isn’t indicative of any problems with me)” vibes.

@Seirdy Right on the mark here: “It reads like an apology to investors for making people unhappy, not an apology to the people who got angry.”

@NanoRaptor any computers powered by attached gas turbine generators in the parallel (diverging?) universes you’re conversant with?

Show me your Top 5 , Fedi. These are mine right now.

  • Baldur's Gate III
  • Citizen Sleeper
  • Disco Elysium
  • Ultima VI: The False Prophet (with Nuvie to turn the viewport into a full map)
  • Divinity: Original Sin

This list is in the order of which I played most recently and - with the caveat that I'm only 64 hours into BG3 - these are honestly all perfect, no-notes gaming experiences for me.

@HauntedOwlbear
Fallout
Planescape: Torment
Deux Ex: Human Revolution (some part of me wants to say the first one, but the sequels play much smoother)
System Shock 2
ADOM

Clearly, I’m not a form purist as I readily include immersive sims and roguelikes.
