Honestly it’s quite an accomplishment that having Synapse installed and running actually makes their products worse

It seems like Realtors spend most of their time giving each other awards. In all seriousness, what's the deal with that?

A few weeks ago I purchased a I’ve always wanted a Q, it’s been a dream camera for a while so I decided to take the plunge. It’s an absolute joy to shoot with! And of course as with any new camera or lens my first subject is my pets. Here’s Chase enjoying some sun ☀️ 😻

My contribution to the from last night! I hadn't planned on venturing too far but as night drew closer and I saw all the amazing photos I packed up the gear and headed into the mountains!

Picked out a spot and packed up the gear, wonder if I’ll be alone. Hopefully we get to see something 😀

Guess I’m gonna have to figure out how to take photos of the aurora 😬

Some days are just outright overwhelming and depressing. Today is one of those days.

@Teri_Kanefield I'm sad that you won't chat about this stuff anymore, it’s one of the main reasons I followed you years ago because I appreciated your reasoned approach on these subjects. But it seems the angry commentators and people riled up about stuff have broken the ability for us to have civil discussion 🙁

I've never once been the enraged person messaging you, but those people have broken civil discourse in so many ways. I appreciate your work, I won't ask questions any longer.

@cdlhamma

Yup.

I had to shut down my comments and people still emailed me.

One was a lawyer demanding that I change my mind after reading an opinion piece by a former prosecutor.

It wasn't this bad 5 years ago.

It is also not possible to read a factual statement like you offered and say whether it is "normal."

The fact that we have so many people in prison is not normal.

So what is normal?

I literally could not answer your question.

@Teri_Kanefield Understood. I just want you to know that what you did, here and previously on Twitter helped me recognize when I was getting tempted by the media rage cycle. And for that, I am forever appreciative. I am now largely disconnected from it.

So, thank you for that 🙂

I'm sad because others won't get that now, because sadly - they won't read the blogs.

Also I hope you plan to keep updating you "What can I do" blog post, I hope to share it again as we get closer to the election 🗳️

@Teri_Kanefield as someone who’s spent zero time in courtrooms other than almost being a juror I’m curious, is it normal to violate a judges order ten times and not end up in jail by noon? And I realize there’s gray area here. Just curious because it seems extreme 😳

@cdlhamma I did a better job in the blog post I'm about to finish responding to you.

@Teri_Kanefield I look forward to reading it 😀

Big game devs and publishers sure know how to take truly amazing games and destroy them. There’s absolutely no reason for this change and yet, it’s being forced. Taking one of the biggest games in years and giving it a massive black eye.

I feel terrible for the developers who actually created this game.

@cdlhamma it’s an age old tradition, first they spend years trying to figure out what works and when they find it. They take it out in the backyard and brutally kill it in front of us.

For me that was Payday 3

@Tanmay the old yeller method of game development 😬😂

Can we just stop with “driver assist” and “autopilot” technology? Computers are nowhere near ready for this task with the insane number of random variables thrown at them combined with people putting too much trust in them. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/112354836228599594

The majority of "Innovation" I've seen thus far in is to solve problems that don't exist in the first place. Unless of course the problem is shareholders and execs not getting enough money, because most of the things created mean they can stop paying humans and transfer more wealth to the top.

I just love the current trend in tech. Writing big documents and proposals about how we can use AI to solve all our problems 🙄

@maya_b@hachyderm.io avatar

@cdlhamma

does that include the problems created by mass AI adoption?

cdlhamma,
@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@maya_b of course not, that'd be crazy!

It's quite amazing really that a company wants to charge $129 for the “Ultimate Edition" of a single player game and LOCK CONTENT based on what players buy. Meanwhile costs $40 and blew up to hundreds of thousands of players immediately. You can collect premium currency in game.

Stop giving these terrible companies money, give your support to the ones who create great games - not those who want to fleece you every chance they get.
