Right, but where is that record kept? Who keeps it? Who can change it?

Keep your own records independently of the company. Include when events happen and when you record/write them. Place them somewhere separately that you have limited access to, so no one can claim you made them up later.

Track your trip time. Track your gas. Track the decisions you make (example: fill up now vs later) and why you made them. Track inspections and their results. I’m sure there’s more you can track, but I’m not a trucker. You know better than I do

Maybe you’re already doing this, but I couldn’t tell from your comment.

AI is often wrong. Sensors often get bad readings. It may falsely record bad behavior, so you need your own records to combat it.

So… I considered trying to start an energy-sustainable data center…

The math doesn’t check out. One square meter of earth gets about 1,000 watts from sunlight. Our current solar panels only run at 20% efficiency at best. Servers I looked at average 500 watts… and we usually put a bunch of servers stacked up in a single rack, which you can only fit one of in one square meter.

As AI grows, it’s only gonna get worse. We need nuclear or geothermal or hell, fusion if we can make it not 50 years away.

But it explains why Amazon and such are looking into smaller scale nuclear. Let’s see how that goes I guess…

Edit: I’m not saying solar is a bad idea. We just need more energy production of many sorts

Hahaha yeah, area. It’s roughly 11km x 11km. Much easier to have frequent transit in that small area. Most US cities are way bigger

The devs themselves are fine. It’s the leadership that’s cancer. Abusive leadership in Korean companies is actually a pretty well known issue. It’s just more self-destructive in game companies, which I have direct experience with. So they did a lot to me and my friends. And said friends shared their stories of other Korean game companies.

You’re absolutely right to question, especially with my level of anger, but I’m confident this one is justified.

Nah, you good. There’s no way for you to know without way too much time investment.

New York, San Francisco, and maybe Chicago have workable systems. Atlanta’s right on the edge, I would say. San Francisco seemed the best by far, but it still wasn’t perfect. It also helps that San Francisco is tiny. I haven’t been to Seattle or Portland, though. Maybe those are better

The smaller cities have super trash transit, mostly because they’re too spread out

You’re absolutely right. I was too focused. I crossed that out in my comment. Thanks

Very fair point. I was a bit hyper-focused. Will edit my previous comment

Define “need.” Various luxuries are still valuable to people. You don’t “need” the server that this Lemmy instance is running on, or the data center it’s running in, or the power for that data center, or the energy sources for that power station. Well, the power gets into need territory, but you get the idea

I gotcha ^^

In most US cities, no, it’s not an option. But we should work to make it an option :)

Just gonna copy paste my comment on a related post…

Similar shit happened when they were PUBG Corporation. Fuck these lying assholes. Player Unknown was a smart, capable dude, and they exiled him to a remote office because he got pissed at the CEO for over-monetizing things in a way that cost them players.

When they released the battle pass while the game was retail, all of the non-Korean employees nearly revolted. It wasn’t smart, and it was a money grab on the players. When the team lead of market research told the product manager that the feature was a bad idea and would lose them all their Western players, the product manager got him demoted and moved to another team.

When the numbers didn’t look good, the data analysts were freaking out because they couldn’t deliver bad news up the chain of command, even if it was accurate.

When they acquired Mad Glory, they promised that the dev team would still be contracted to other game companies to build APIs and tools for them, keeping the game industry tooling ecosystem healthy (think op.gg). When PUBG Corporation acquired them, the company canceled their contract with Bethesda for the API they were in the middle of building and forbade them from working with other companies.

Fuck Bluehole. Fuck PUBG Corporation. Fuck Krafton. Fuck game studios in Korea. Don’t play Korean games. Kpop and cosmetics and whatever are chill. Don’t play Korean games. Korean game companies are fucking cancer.

Don’t buy Subnautica 2. The Subnautica franchise died when Krafton became the publisher.

Bwahahahha you guys are spectacular. Thank you for making my evening :D

And I’ll take that ork house. Might need more dakka, though

That’s very sensible. Thank you for the explanation. A part of me is thinking “hard means opportunity,” but I do computers, not physics

So… yes and no. Yes, most corporations aren’t mitigating their impact as much as they could, even if trying to maximize profit.

But something like consuming red meat… if people aren’t buying it, they’re gonna downsize operations. But that requires a huge change in the diet of a lot of people. So like… yes, but no? If enough people change, yes, but reality suggests that won’t happen, so no. I try to avoid beef, but I’m just one dude.

Here’s what I don’t get: methane is energy rich, and cattle produce a lot. Why the hell don’t they capture the methane and sell it? Yes, combusting it produces CO2, but CO2 has a lesser impact than methane, as I understand. So it’s a (minor) help for the environment and theoretically profitable. Why hasn’t this been done yet???

I’m with you on this. I generally disfavor candidates that are clearly telling me what they think I want to hear. I used to favor candidates who mentioned “I gotta get paid.” Unfortunately, the new boss does not like that, so I gotta ditch that :(

This is the winner for me.

I’m a manager, and I do my best to make things fulfilling, productive, physically and psychologically safe, and minimally stressful. I’m not the capitalist, so I don’t have full control. But if those of us closer to the ground try to make the way we work more bearable, it can have an impact on the immediate surroundings.

But yeah, we do need to fix the overarching system, since we don’t have full control in this one.

This.

Lived in Korea for awhile, and they generally seem to not have this kind of vindictiveness or self-righteousness. They’re usually like, “I dunno. Either they got a reason, or it’s not worth the effort for me to do something about it.”

That said, social pressure is much more effective here, so the vast majority of people fall in line. See COVID

Money. It encourages greed, but it allows us to scale exchange of goods and services far more than we otherwise could

Had to scroll too far to find Korea.

Been here since 2016. It can be tough finding a job at a not shitty company, but once you do, it’s pretty sweet.

But if you’re in your 20s and dating, be prepared for all the bullshit. It gets better in your 30s, though there are still customs you need to figure out.

Housing is expensive in Seoul, and real estate agents may scam you, so find a Korean friend.

Otherwise, it’s great. People are nice to foreigners. Public transit in Seoul and most of the country is amazing. Everything is super convenient. You can get away without learning the language, but at least try to get to a basic level. The foreigner community is pretty cool. Healthcare is excellent. I love it here.
