Video of Eric Schmidt blaming remote work for Google’s woes mysteriously vanishes (techcrunch.com)

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption,...

Odd coming from someone who is fucking retired.

I’d suspect he sacrificed work-life balance his whole career (yes, CEOs are known for golfing and vacations, but I bet they still think of work 24/7). So just like people complaining about student loan forgiveness, some people get so angry if they perceive someone might have an easier experience than they did.

I’m psyched for you! I just researched hardware benchmarks and ordered a new AMD laptop and planned to run Linux. But I didn’t research well, because the Wifi card doesn’t have official drivers yet and I couldn’t be bothered to learn to edit, make from source, and load alternate drivers, so I retreated to Win10 for a little. I’ll try again later.

Of course, algorithms! The answer was right there all along!

No, I’ve seen this before. One whack to the head changes someone, but then another whack changes them back. Same principle.

I think you’re getting downvotes because you’re projecting a narrative onto @Reyali and using quotes around non-quotes. They didn’t say they were “probably not right.”

I agree, everyone should be skeptical of information someone else is sharing, because we can’t assume intention. But what would motivate someone to say “I’m probably not right” anyway?

What’s interesting to me is that for you, your guard went up for someone admitting a potential of having missed something, which may make you more susceptible to people who are confidently wrong.

Most others’ reaction is the opposite, taking their statement as an attempt to be genuine and open to feedback. If someone invites feedback, is willing to admit they might be wrong, that’s a much better starting point for conversation.

I ran out of hands!

These world class athletes are just better and stronger than us, so they can totally tolerate 5x the safe level. Maybe even 10x! It may be true that we don’t know how many times more they can take! A million? These are important questions that we must answer.

Finally, a religion that makes sense.

It definitely stands out, maybe as our vernacular has shifted so far to hyperbole, that every statement is “slamming, blasting, annihilating”.

Day 16 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (lemmy.world)

This will probably be the last FNV Screenshot for a few days. I finished Honest Hearts, I want to take some time to let it process. I took this right before completing the DLC, while making a sort of Pilgrimage and following the terminals of the survivalist....

I feel like this is a shader or texture mod that makes it look like World of Warcraft, I’d be interested in details too, OP.

OK don’t lynch me, but has anyone tried on Docker for Windows? Since this is Linux first, it looks like a lot of the environment paths are Linux-only. It solves a need for me, but I haven’t dived into switching fully to Linux gaming.

The answer is there, keep wondering 🙂

Surely you’re not accusing the media of any malfeasance!

That’s a delightful response to my snarky comment, thank you.

I agree, the incentive structure is such that it undermines the goals of journalism. Compounded with a firehose of misinformation, even full-time journalists must be overwhelmed.

I’m unwilling to give them a pass, however. Their job is to report accurately, they understand the risk of reporting things that are not fully vetted, and choose to anyway. As you say, they’re complicit.

They don’t have to - if the penalty is a fine, then it’s just the cost of business. Everyone is fine with the system - as long as the profits gained from breaking the rule are bigger than the fine, behavior won’t change.

Ubisoft Excited To Let You Know Prince Of Persia Remake Is Still Years Away (kotaku.com)

During today’s Ubisoft Summer Game Fest showcase, the publisher took a moment to acknowledge that, yes, its long-in-development and oft-delayed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake is still being made. But if you wanted to play it soon…bad news. It won’t be out until sometime in 2026....
