Considering this is Apple, they’ll probably scan your happy juices and, like… sell your entire genome to advertisers, or smth…
I knew it! That kitchen table’s ruining my life! And my hips!!!
FEAST ON THEIR IDEOLOGICAL FLESH!!!

SING IT!

Let’s turn that frown upside down! Instead of saying “Google failed to generate a useful LLM to bolster its search feature,” say “Google successfully replicated the output of an average Reddit troll!”
Ssooo… a cable package?
Oh, yeah?! What’ your DPS (depressions per semester)?
Good for you, your circumstances lined up in such a way as for you to already have a PSN account through the console you own. But the issues you are ignoring are as follows:
it is predatory to impose such a major change (and, yes, it is major) on people AFTER they have purchased the game. The ease of creating a PSN account is an utterly moot point, a paying customer should not be forced to suffer changes to a thing they, supposedly, already owned, let alone a change which basically reduces the options to “you either give us your information, or you don’t play the game ON WHICH YOU ALREADY SPENT MONEY.”
the more accounts you have nowadays, the more your personal data is sold around. In addition, it’s a clear demonstration of encroachment by corporations who really should have no business forcing you to sign up to their shitty platforms.
it’s an extra layer of DRM, and DRM is exclusively a bad thing however you cut it (DRM means you don’t actually own the thing you friggin’ bought).
fuck Sony and their atrocious greed. Pure and simple.
Can only give you my personal example:
I have a career in software QA, and I got into it because I personally believed in QA and its significance to generating good software for people to use. Hell, I even worked relatively low-paying jobs because it was compensated by job satisfaction.
Then enshittification took hold of absolutely everything, QA started being flushed down the turlet in the interest of cutting costs (and, I suspect, out of management incompetence and lack of perspective), and now it feels as though my passion got stabbed.
I still thoroughly believe in QA as an essential part of software development, I still try to do the best I can not out of dedication to a job, but to my principle-based belief that QA does more good than it does harm when properly performed. But I seldom have the context to be able to do that, instead being stuck with menial shit and/or rushed projects which don’t allow for a lot of testing.
Test your stuff, eat the rich.
Started going really hard for a simple carrot salad with a bit of salt, pepper, and squeezed lemon. Just to make it more interesting, I slice the carrots into tiny sticks (which takes ages, but I find it’s a pleasant, meditative activity for the context).
“The Children of Asuryan haven’t received any new models since the 90s, y’know…”
Thank you.
Honestly, the most painful part of this is the dichotomy between the internet’s potential to become an evolutionary point for us and help us develop as a species, and the way we’re using it… We have the entirety of human existence digitised for our convenience and available at the push of a button and we just use it to terrorise and hurt eachother…
This must be the most 90s thing I’ve seen in a decade.
At least the water ain’t boilin’! Yet…
“Quiet quitting” didn’t really have that zing to it, eh?
Exactly, pointing fingers just eats into problem-solving time at this point. Just shovel’em aside and start digging that drainage ditch, s’what I say… Once the job’s done, we’ll have all the time in the world to poke eachother in the eyes.
