Most journalism is a joke nowadays. Print/text media makes no money, so it’s all clickbait to drive engagement and clicks for ad revenue. It’s a problem with every other sport too as far as I can see.

I bought a switch. Then I almost never used it, since if I’m gaming I’m at my PC.

I’ll likely never buy another portable console simply for the fact that I don’t have a use for it. Many do, I’m just not one of them

Developer here

Had to spend 3 weeks fixing a tiny app that a vibe coder built with AI. It required rewriting significant portions of the app from the ground up because AI code is nearly unusable at scale. Debugging is 10x harder, code is undocumented and there is no institutional knowledge of how an internal system works.

AI code can maybe be ok for a bootstrap single programmer project, but is pretty much useless for real enterprise level development

I’m 100% with you on this. There isn’t a single thing that generative AI can do better than a traditional method or by myself.

AI code is pretty much useless, as you spend 2-4x the time debugging and fixing the code as you would have writing it from the ground up.

AI Search is useless because it regularly and predictably gives bad and/or incorrect results. A well built traditional search engine is so much better, but have disappeared with Microsoft and Google going all in on AI search.

AI art isn’t art, and I would never support anyone who uses it, let alone makes money from it. It fundamentally is missing three of the core pillars of art, which are creativity, uniqueness and the human experience.

AI chat bots are ruining human connection and consistently perform worse than human support reps.

Thank you for the useless opinion that adds nothing. Congrats

And I can’t game on Apple. A mac is a useless brick for the remaining 50% of what I do on a computer.

Adobe and ease of use

I need Adobe, specifically Lightroom, because there’s no alternative. I can’t just stop using it as a semi-professional photographer (I make money from it, just not a ton).

Darktable doesn’t handle large libraries well and also is missing features such as AI remove and integration with photoshop for splitting photos up for social media posts.

They decided to use the Cadillac brand as their racing brand, so they also run their GTP/LMDh (Le mans/IMSA/Endurance racing) cars as Cadillacs.

They’ve also got corvettes in the GT3/GTD categories

Nope, not just you. I live in the greater Seattle area (nearly the tesla capital of the world) and 8/10 times I’m blinded is a tesla in oncoming traffic.

Rivians are also terrible, and most crossovers in the last 2-3 years have been increasingly bad.

Driving a lowered sports car with no windshield tint has made driving at night a horrible process. I’m debating getting a low % window tint just to take the edge off of the headlights.

Somehow alpine has made a worse looking car than last year. They continuously amaze me with their ability to make terrible looking cars from all perspectives. Must be a holdover from their road car division

Would have been perfect without that giant white banner on the engine cover. I like the darker red, the white accents even look pretty good, it’s just that block

This livery goes so hard, much better than the rest of this years and honestly one of the better liveries of the current generation of cars

This entire set is made of insanely good photos. Absolutely love the entire vibe, the location is perfect and F40s make a great art piece.

Very much not a fan. Spa is a race that should be on the calendar every year, not periodically.

The fact that we’re still racing at imola, which produces terrible racing, is baffling, same with half the poorer street circuits.

Money is the root of every problem in this sport, but damn, this sucks.

AFAIK nobody is running against him

Factorio

The Factory Must Grow

I’m almost 100 hours into my new space age save, and I’ve played nearly 1k hours since I bought it 5ish years ago. By far one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played and I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys sandbox games

I’ll go Linux when I don’t need any more windows based software, and there’s been almost 0 progress made in that sector in the last 5 years.

Between games that don’t run on Linux (Apex, CoD, any other shooter) and professional tools such as Lightroom and photoshop, there’s no way to switch to Linux without needing to boot back to windows multiple times per day.

There is no data transfer between RB and RBR. This has been clarified multiple times and the FiA closely monitors what data is shared.

Technically yes, but they still have the staff to do it and could get them back. Of all teams they have comparatively little to lose from this.

I typically just ignore the weekend and check the results/highlights at the end of it. There’s no reason to get up that early to watch a procession.
