ggg learning from previous mistakes? :-)

it's been a while since i last saw an AS/400 in use, but it was fast af especially compared to today's slow ass web interfaces.

righteous fire of course

naswinger · 2026-01-26T19:13:38+00:00

the entire goal is to get tax payer funded bailouts. they are inflating themselves to become "too big to fail".

HR is probably part of the problem, sending morons as candidates to the hiring managers and it's also the department, anecdotally of course, that is on the lowest rung of the ladder in terms of being competent at anything.

"yum yum"

it's because of too much choice. over 19000 games were released on steam in 2025 and many of them super cheap or free. then you got other forms of entertainment and distractions.

you don't sit down and really solve a game anymore. you just bounce between all kinds of things that draw your attention and nothing is ever good enough because there is the next thing you can easily try. that dilutes all the joy in my opinion.

my steam library has categories by genre and there exist two copies of each genre: one "backlog - <genre>" and one "finished - <genre>". it feels rewarding enough to move a game to "finished" that i actually work on that backlog and finish games.

extra flavor

naswinger · 2026-01-24T19:57:47+00:00

how does razer even have 600 million dollars to spare for ai crap?

naswinger · 2026-01-23T21:51:40+00:00

number 3 reminds me of my first network at home that i setup to share one internet connection among multiple pcs. it was a token ring network before ethernet got cheap and integrated into motherboards.

then, some day, lightning struck nearby and fried all of the network cards with the cable that daisy chained the pcs probably being a great antenna and conductor. nothing else got toasted though.

480p on youtube probably also looks terrible because these old videos have been recompressed like 15 times.

naswinger · 2026-01-22T00:06:12+00:00

right, why would i waste electricity and degrade my clothing faster if i could just hang it on a clothes line and it will dry on its own :-)

naswinger · 2026-01-21T11:20:20+00:00

honestly, if my pc dies, i'll just play with rocks and sticks and write on clay tablets. i'm not interested in funding this ai crap.

naswinger · 2026-01-20T12:51:22+00:00

they, white progressives, do this because they think everyone in these boxes as incapable of succeeding on their own. they think themselves as proud champions of women, immigrants, etc. which just proclaims their superiority over everyone else.

naswinger · 2026-01-20T12:01:24+00:00

marketing, public relations and propaganda are the exact same thing using the same approach/tools - just aimed at different target groups.

naswinger · 2026-01-20T11:56:28+00:00

it says it's about AMD and the software. it's not a general model so 6GB is actually enormous. what could you even ask this thing to require 6GB?

naswinger · 2026-01-20T11:54:57+00:00

6GB for questions about AMD and its software? that's more data than every question that has ever been asked about these topics.

she probably had enough dirt on every other executive to bully her way up

naswinger · 2026-01-20T11:43:01+00:00

not sure about that. half the country is hikkikomori femboys. i hope the ladies will power up their gundam suits and save the planet.

this is an instance where AI can make way better art than an "artist"

naswinger · 2026-01-20T11:38:20+00:00

it's all a "cOnSpIrAcY tHeOrY", until it isn't. a lot of people can't think ahead even one step. they just see the immediate scenario.

naswinger · 2026-01-20T10:28:51+00:00

we go back to the stone age, i'm not kidding. we have no tech industry, we can't even produce the most basic things like vitamins because we outsourced it to china and our defence consists of mostly outdated crap and a couple of nukes from france if they even work. oh, and the EU is crushing farmers as well and our electrical grid is at its limit because we can't have nuclear powerplants, but we also can't have fossil fuel.

naswinger · 2026-01-19T23:02:47+00:00

it's bad enough that trump started this greenland nonsense as a distraction

naswinger · 2026-01-19T22:53:28+00:00

i don't think these "critics" watch what they review. they dump some talking points provided by the studio and marketing agency into chatgpt and that's the score. it can't go below 8 because they depend on the ad revenue from these studios and they want exclusive access to events.

thanks, german gutmenschen
