  • Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed

    Jump

  • That was originally one of the intended purposes of cryptocurrency, or at least claimed to be. Too bad we can't have anything without needing to make it an investment engine.

  • Why is the number of first-time US homebuyers at a generational low?

    Jump

  • When we were looking a few years ago, the only thing under $250k was a house built in 1897 that shared the property line with a hoarder shed that had a family of raccoons going in and out while we were looking at it in the middle of the day.

    It's either that, the $500 fixer-upper, or the $800k new construction. And I'm in the Midwest, not even in a high COL area.

  • CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests

    Jump

  • That's got to be it. Cloud compute is expensive when you're not being funded in Azure credits. One the dust settles from the AI bubble bursting, most of the AI we'll see will probably be specialized agents running small models locally.

  • Texas Officials Slam Trump’s National Weather Service for Bad Forecast

    Jump

  • Knowing Texas, they'll probably try to privatize it

  • Xbox exec suffers bout of terminal LinkedIn brain, suggests folks laid off by Microsoft use AI to 'reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss'

    Jump

  • Looks like they're replacing parts of the hiring process, too. Nearly every single job description and recruiter message looks AI-generated, my resume is at the mercy of some HR algorithm, and who knows what they're cooking up for actual interviews.

    But they still expect us to specially craft an individual resume and cover letter for each job we apply to? With all this corporate wordsmithing that only ever applies to writing those resumes? Fuck that. Hey ChatGPT, here's a job posting, match it up with my resume and generate a friendly cover letter. The whole process has become so formulaic with corporate-speak that whatever LLMs spit out are way better than anything we'd be able to come up with on our own.

  • Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.'

    Jump

  • Anyone wanna come?

    Jump

  • Why not just take the 15? It's so much shorter, and you have a couple guns to protect yourself in case anything pops up, right?

    Right?

  • Nationwide ‘No Kings’ Protests Push Back on Trump’s Parade, Policies, and Power

    Jump

  • Don't forget Kid Rock was there for some reason

  • Liberals right now...

    Jump

  • Except the part where he started flipping tables and whipping money lenders

  • Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.

    Jump

  • I've heard something along the lines of, "it's not when computers can pass the Turing Test, it's when they start failing it on purpose that's the real problem."

  • *arr stack keeps downloading .arj files

    Jump

  • I mean, I've only gotten those from one tracker, and haven't gotten them since I've removed that one tracker. Sonarr at least recognizes it's not a media file and won't copy it to your media folder. And you can use regex filters with qBittorrent. There hasn't been a legitimate use of .arj in what, 30 years? So you won't be missing anything by filtering it.

  • Ice agents use pepper spray and smoke grenades to disperse LA protesters

    Jump

  • If only LAPD would pull a Rodney King on ICE.

  • Musk Blasts Trump’s ‘Ingratitude’ in Escalating Spat Over Tax Bill

    Jump

  • Every time I see "slam" in a headline, I always imagine a WWE-style body slam. Never have I wanted that to actually be the case than right now.

  • Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Incoming!

    Jump

  • Already confirmed on the Steam page

  • BEHOLD FOR I AM GAY

  • Incubus:

  • Businesses are raising prices after tariffs — even on unaffected goods

    Jump

  • Even goods that aren't directly tariffed are still affected by tariffs. If you planned to buy a new washing machine, but now they're too expensive because of a tarrif, then maybe you buy a microwave instead.

    What? If I need a new washing machine, I'm either buying a new washing machine or doing laundry in the bathtub. I'm not going to decide to buy a second microwave for clothes when the microwave i already have is perfectly functional...for food.

    The type of market you're describing, where the buyer and the seller both have a say in determining prices, only happens in small, locally focused markets. The type of market that's being undercut and eventually replaced outright by Wal-Mart and other big box corporate stores (with our tax dollars,by the way!) that absolutely don't give a fuck what the buyer wants to pay, because they have enough people that are complacent, desperate, fatigued, or out-of-touch enough to pay whatever they charge. If they can point to something tangible as an external cause of higher prices, they'll absolutely do it. We saw it happen with COVID, wage increases, tax proposals, and all sorts of other shit.

    A "free market" that doesn't include freedom for the consumer isn't a free market at all.

  • RFK Jr. yanks pandemic vaccine funding as Moderna reports positive results

    Jump

  • Right wing crunchy fash

    Oh no

  • GOP lawmaker left speechless when asked if he's trans during a hearing

    Jump

  • Sports is used as a revenue generator at all levels of government. Look how much taxpayer money is spent to build stadiums/arenas/etc. for the sake of the "local economy." Not to mention all the money spent on advertising and sponsorship.

    All of which, of course, has nothing to do with lawmakers' arbitrary decisions on whether or not trans athletes should exist. Just wanted to point out how much the government is already involved in sports.
