If they are charging that much they clearly don’t want my app

Give Finland some pervitin!

Execs from my water company should sleep with the sewage polluted fishes.

Pretty sure constructing something to live in isn’t the expensive part, it’s land you are allowed to live on that is.

It’s not art, it’s a fleshlight.

Does each VM need to be verified, or the hypervisor? What about docker? Does memtest need to ask for age verification?

Huh, I don’t think you can even evict someone legally here if they are just a week late on rent. IIRC it has to be like 2/3 months behind before you can start the process.

Landlords frequently complain about renters having rights.

I don’t find free/very cheap live service games to be quite so bad if its fun to play without spending much/anything. But the knowledge that it will disappear at some point is still a negative.

I mainly hear about games through Gaming on Linux or recommendations from others, works as a pretty good way to filter out the shit.

Never heard of it, shit like this is just more reasons to avoid live service games. Certainly don’t spend money on them as it’s likely to disappear sometime.

It took longer than I expected, but Humans need not apply is becoming more and more relevant. Interesting that he thought it would be the transportation sector first that sees significant job losses. Instead that still hasn’t really taken off yet at scale and its the later predictions that we are now seeing.

What do we do when large sections of society are unemployable through no fault of their own?

“Take it a step further and pause your Lumber Mills when you are running low on logs” - so resource levels can be used to enable or disable jobs, wanted something like that for ages!

The HTTP thing seems interesting but not sure if it’s overly practical to benefit from. Seems like it can only send true/false values, things I can think of doing would take a huge number of in-game sensors to read values.

Idea I had was a terminal window or web interface on a tablet with readouts like Bread: |||____ Bakery: Active, it would be possible but each bar on the stockpile readout would require building and configuring another thing ingame. Would love it if I could just send all resource data out over HTTP with a single resource counter building.

If its on the OS at least there is just 1 thing to bypass I suppose is the main benefit I can see with that method. Still got the question of what is an operating system? Linux isn’t an operating system, its just the kernel.

Step 1: don’t worry you don’t even need to give it ID!

Step 2: now pretty much everyone has implemented this, we will require ID

Although if we put this all in the OS, as Linux users could we just replace the package? Could it be better than age verification per website

Brit here, doesn’t seem racist. But it’s so cliche at this point.

Omg… You would have to verify every single VM. Would docker images count or not? Might be enough to push me to properly work out how to use that instead of VMs…

And what about all the operating systems that already exist and are no longer maintained? Who is responsible for that. Microslop gotta update Win95 to add age verification?

They don’t care if it’s good at the job, just cheaper and they can get away with claiming its good enough

now increasingly overworked employees

My point was that HR will replace some of the workload, and remove more of the workers. Then those remaining get lumped with an even greater workload than they had before.

“We are not replacing anyones job, this is just saving time” is something we keep hearing at work, if its saving time that means fewer people are required. I am sure it won’t replace 100% of any 1 persons entire workload any time soon, but if it replaced 20% of 10 peoples workload, HR will make 4 of those people redundant and spread their tasks among the 6 remaining now increasingly overworked employees.
