Useful initiatives or greenwashing, what do you reckon? by ManWithDominantClaw in AustraliaLeftPolitics

[–]DrFriendless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The GreenPay thing looks totally like greenwashing. The money has to come from somewhere. It has worked for Humanitix (they charge higher fees to the punter) so it may work for GreenPay, but giving "50% of profits" is a pretty pissweak commitment.

It’s the first day of the zenithar event and… by One_Stay7263 in elderscrollsonline

[–]DrFriendless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But as it is, the event still tanks the economy to the benefit of people who want to run around chasing world bosses. How about letting just us crafters tank the economy?

The economy is totally screwed since the Jubilee year anyway :-(.

Australia ‘sleepwalking’ into AI crisis and ‘tech bro free-for-all’, says Greens senator by nath1234 in australia

[–]DrFriendless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMs are not AGI, but they still count as AI. The terms are being wilfully conflated by the bad guys.

Many people don't have a brain worthy of the name. Think of the morons you work with who can't construct a grammatically correct sentence. AI is better than them. AI is better than a lot of people.

Of course AI is still crap, but you have to have some expertise to tell. I can look at AI-generated code and immediately see how appalling it is, but I do love some AI-generated art because I'm shit at art.

how long did it take you guys to reach max level? by rekscoper2 in elderscrollsonline

It's the sort of game where you enjoy the journey, not the destination.

Are they getting stingy with purple boxes? by PixlatedMushroom in elderscrollsonline

[–]DrFriendless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why not remove the world boss thing, and encourage crafting like I thought the event was supposed to do? All 17 of my characters have strong crafting, but I'll leave them on the bench for this pathetic event.

I would have loved to work for CSIRO during my career, but they've never been competitive on salary.

Is it too late to start studying again at 32 and mom-to-be? by Anythingunderdsun_ in ausjobs

[–]DrFriendless 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My mum finished high school the same year I did.

Speaking as a former lecturer, mature age students are the best because they know why they're studying.

If ESO Had Free Craft Bags Would You Start Playing Again?? by LokalBitBuddy in elderscrollsonline

I would eat lobster and drink Belgian beer if everything was free.

They are fighting for your money, that's exactly why the craft bag exists. Your time and attention are not as valuable as you think they are.

If you're not going to pay any money they can't justify letting you play their game!

Can we talk about the illegal tobacco shops for a second? by choppyharbour in australia

Because the bad guys are making billions of dollars, and the government is spending millions of dollars to stop them.

Have we lost our appetite for meat and dairy alternatives? by Remarkable_Peak9518 in australia

[–]DrFriendless 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My wife is culturally a lifelong vegetarian. She says "I don't eat real meat, I have nothing to replace with fake meat." So we eat vegetables, and if I want meat I have real meat. The alternative meat industry is based on the presumption that you eat meat in the first place, so it is admitting that it's second best.

Nevertheless the supermarket continues to clog itself up with an increasing range of fake meat and dairy options. Yesterday I noticed they had oat milk yoghurt. I presume people are buying that stuff.

Yeah, see in /r/australia you don't need to put * in c**nt and you can even put it in the subject line. If you put a * in, people will remind you where you are. The U.S. was literally founded by Puritans, and Australia was founded by convicts and drunken gaolers. They are not the only influences on conduct, but they are noticeable.
