This shit seems to change by the minute.

The new overloads can't be having with any of that Helping People nonsense. Not for free, anyway.

I too tend to use it as a souped up search engine, with mixed results. I was trying to get OBS to only record my game and not my music, and the bot came up with a whole routine involving setting up a virtual mixer, which I could not get to work correctly, and with which the bot was unable to help me, even with screenshots, - it would just keep suggesting the same thing that wasn't working - AND it was a pain to revert all the changes.

I tried to do the same thing again recently, but just via a google search, and almost immediately found a reddit post with a link to an OBS plugin that worked with a couple of menu selections. :)

I'm torn on it. First off, I reckon a lot of it is a misuse of technology. We should be using for it boring repetitive drudge work, not for creative works. That said, a lot of the 'creative industries' are devoted to bullshit like advertising. I mean, why have someone pour hours of their time and creativity to make something that'll just be used to sell hamburgers, or be seen on screen for 2 seconds on one of Simon Whistler's thousand videos this week? I'm sure they'd much prefer to be making something a bit more meaningful. Unfortunately that doesn't pay. Which is why we desperately need a UBI. The benefits of the increases in productivity afforded by automation need to be passed on to everyone, not just the fat, rich cunts.

Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.

So now they're trying to redefine the meaning of 'grift' as well, are they. Fucking arseholes.

We really should be seriously considering economic sanctions against America, not just reciprocal tariffs. Bullies always reveal themselves to be cowards when you stand up to them.

Crazy like a FOX!

I bought a Steam Deck ostensibly to help me get through my backlog. What happened was that I bought more games specifically to play on it.

Except for Willis.

Kevin Can Go Fuck Himself. It's a basic family sitcom, laugh track and all, but only when the husband character Kevin is on the screen. Any other time there's a drastic shift in tone to dark and serious, and the wife character trying to figure how to kill Kevin.

I really enjoyed that show. I couldn't help but wonder where they were getting all the booze, bullets and cigarettes 25 years after the collapse of civilisation, though.
