  • Broderbund is right up there with top tier game makers, their games may be largely relegated to the history books now, but for all the right reasons. You didn’t even have to be a big video gamer, to appreciate one for their products (think Carmen Sandiego or Sim City). They definitely had an outsized impact on the industry, and I think we’d all be in a better place today if companies like them were allowed to thrive. Instead we get private equity, beta tier releases and preordering. Not to even mention all these stupid remake$



  • Bluesky is definitely quite different. I’m a fairly centre kind of person, maybe a bit left leaning in a lot of ways, but bluesky is definitely attracting a lot of extreme left users. I mean it’s not like that’s a totally bad thing, I’d rather deal with extreme left than extreme right any day of the week, and I still hope the platform is successful. I just don’t find myself using it that much because most of the content is a bit over the top. Also it’s owned by Mormon backed private equity, so there’s that too…big fan of federation social media these days.




  • They need to start fighting fire with fire. It’s not like the other side is that intelligent in a lot of ways, so trying to fight with logic isn’t going to get this done. Start a misinformation campaign like they do or something. Damn glad it ain’t my problem, don’t get me wrong. But I do see both sides of it, and democratic arrogance is how we are here too, in a lot of ways.

    As brain dead as this is, maybe quit running women in must win elections. I ain’t saying it’s right, or that’s fair or just (it shouldn’t even be a thing). But it’s literally stacking the odds against you in insurmountable fashion. Nothing against Kamala, but if was pretty clear right out of the gates she was going to lose, and they just ignored it.






  • It’s dotcom 2.0. Just watch. The tech is in its infancy, and everyone’s just run away to looneyville already. It can’t deliver 1/1 trillionth of what everyone’s already imagined it’s supposedly capable of. I mean making photos of Super Mario committing 9/11 or some dumb shit like that, it’s mildly entertaining for all of three or four minutes. But I’ve yet to see how it can actually deliver usable and innovative results on anything. The superior code it supposedly can write is pure spaghetti nonsense. The business analysis it supposedly can produce on a dime is hallucinatory, irrelevant and useless. Often it just spits out random bits of junk that’s largely irrelevant but that it treats as facts.

    Nope, especially looking at the valuation of companies like Nvidia and the like, I think we got ourselves an ol’ fashioned year 2000 like dotcom bust on the horizon at some point.


  • It’s really just the hype I hate.

    The tech is pretty mid for most uses, but it has some neat functions. Something like what this commenter described is actually a pretty cool use of it.

    What I’m horrendously tired of, is sitting at work all day listening to a bunch of execs, who have literally no clue how their company actually gets to the endpoint, or how our product is created, delivered, measured, billed, collected, etc., how they all just sound like robots. “AI AI AI, you should get AI to do that, AI will do that, AI AI AI, you should look at AI, AI is wonderful, AI AI AI.” It’s literally vomit inducing. I’m starting to believe people should fully step back, disengage, and watch all these idiots try to implement AI, with all these brain dead consultants. You could literally watch the world melt down around you in real time.


  • The amount of foreign interference in all this, should be enough to give anyone sober second thought here. But everyone in this province outside the cities seems to have mashed potatoes for brains, so here we are. Shouts out to the boomer crowd, who of course will dance off with their riches and their seniors discount, yet again, leaving the rest of us holding the bag for their infuriatingly stupid decisions. Should this go through, which thankfully it doesn’t look like they are even close to having realistic volumes of support.
