I was wondering why there was a can of Milkis in between all these extremely Nordic-like dishes LOL

I really liked Paris 🥲 I did go during the end of October though, so that might’ve have been a factor. People still didn’t want to talk to me in French, but they weren’t rude about it.

My favourite place to visit in France was La Rochelle, I feel like I got most of the benefits of visiting Coastal France but without the Marseille/Toulon/Monaco crowds (yes I know, Monaco is not France).

Not sure about the divine being thing, but he has been spewing “We need to make more kids to preserve our culture” shit at far right rallies so…

Take that as you will.

Oh my god does this mean we now have official English versions of every mainline Ace Attorney game? I can’t believe this is happening.

I wonder what the official pun names are going to be.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

So true bestie, can you come pick up your European friends in Thailand for me? They keep trying to fuck the animals here.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Yoooo Arcane Season Two tho!

November 2024 baybeee! I need to know what my boy Ekko’s up to

Yeah but the tape also covers the shitty microphone next to the camera.

Beat that, circlecuck!!

ZA/UM leadership can eat donkey dicks, and if I had Musk/Bezos money I would hire every single dev that got laid off from there and just let them make games till the heat death of the universe.

But I’m a povo bitch, so best I can offer is a free drink at the bar and a handjob in the back alley.

No, in regards to Elon, he has always been a weirdo with women, starting with his first wife according to this essay published in 2010.

I really urge people to read it if you haven’t already, there are some great tidbits in there like him saying “I’m the alpha” as they were having their first dance at their wedding (hilarious stuff).

None of the claims in the Verge article are surprising if you ever read Justine Musk’s essay.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Not only that, according to the wikipedia article OP linked:

“The boogaloo movement has created logos and other imagery incorporating [igloo] snow huts and Hawaiian prints based on these derivations.”

If white supremacy was so “supreme”, why are these morons using Indigenous-based iconography for their movement I wonder. They’ll claim it’s to “fly under the radar”, but that just makes them look even more smooth brained.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Naaah dude, don’t let them claim Hawaiian shirts, keep wearing them and being radical

sigmaklimgrindset ,

I like the spicy (black packet) and 2x spicy (red packet), it definitely has flavour to me! The 3x is closer to painful spicy though. Tongue’s are just different.

Also I would not recommend any of these to people with geographic tongues. They will hurt no matter what level you get.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

I’m back home visiting Canada right now, and seeing this too. Children of immigrants/2nd gen immigrants using the same talking points as fascists about how there’s too many immigrants being let in, or not “the right kind”.

Astounding how they don’t understand the cognitive dissonance of that.

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

Well, they technically will see SOME cents of this because I’m pretty sure Nvidia gives employees stocks too.

But yeah, I also posted this because it’s a clear illustration of how most salaries will never reflect the value your labour brings to an organization.

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

Brilliant, thanks for this!

I said in a comment on mastodon that I don’t think the batch of newer employees hired at Nvidia are going to have anywhere near the same compensation as the current employees do, and this kind of helps support my suspicions…

Which could lead to a morale problem in the company too (speaking from experience)

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

I don’t think many people would claim overall valuation has much of anything to do with the value labor brings to an organization.

Apologies, can you clarify what exactly you mean by this? Because when I say their labour is not being valued, I do extend that to the Wall Street orgs that are doing the evaluations. They look at the “product” on offer, not the people actually working and developing it.

Are you saying because stock prices aren’t steady, we can’t correlate that to salaries?

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

I’m like 90% sure Nvidia employees get stock options, but I’m not sure if that’d be the case for the newest batch of hires.

But yeah, this is a clear cut illustration of how salaries undervalue the actual labour provided, I don’t think any Nvidia employee’s getting 100M from their stocks + salary.

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

Very true. I personally know two people who were at Nvidia who have retired/are in the process of leaving now, and it hasn’t been a hassle for them personally. That obviously doesn’t speak for everyone ofc.

I also think Nvidia wants to buy back as many shares as possible from their employees like every other big public tech giant is doing right now.

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

Hmm, interesting, are you able to expand on that at all? The people I know who are retiring have been there a decade or so, I’m wondering what newer hires are experiencing.

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

I linked you the wrong thing, sorry 🤦 I meant to link a reddit thread discussing employee RSU rates at Nvidia, but now I can’t find it because Google AI has decided that I don’t need to see that anymore.

I’m sure you can find it if you google (again sorry), but there was definitely a lot of mixed bag experiences on it, you’re right. The people who got in by 2015-2016 and got some seniority are making out like bandits now.

94 dead Palestinians, including children.

If you have it from a new iPhone, you can literally cancel it from your settings >> Apple ID >> subscriptions. I have no idea how to do it on any other Apple device (because I don’t own any others) but I know my dad had a hell of a time cancelling something for his Macbook.

Good luck o7

It’s really fucking weird to see the disconnect between the powers that be and regular people regarding Israel/Gaza.

I can’t really think of anything in my lifetime that had the same disconnect. Was the invasion of Afghanistan/Iraq this protested? Vietnam maybe?

sigmaklimgrindset ,

I assume you mean under Bush Sr? The only Gulf war googling got me was the one in 1991, and that’s a bit before my time. That’s really cool that you have footage of the protests, are they available anywhere to view at all?

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Yeah, what you say about Iraq makes sense, but I don’t remember mentions of extreme violence against specifically young protesters like we’re seeing with the university encampments. I was also very young at the time, so I was definitely being sheltered from a lot of it.

That’s why the comparisons to Vietnam sticks out more in my head, because that’s probably the only other time historically I have been taught that there has been pointed aggression toward the younger generation about anti-war protesting.

But my perception may also be skewed because it is my peer group that is being targeted. Quite a few of my friends may or will have police records because they were at pro-Palestine protests and were unlucky enough to get caught by the police, and we still don’t know how it’ll impact them in the future.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Interesting, thanks so much for your reply! I’ll have to dig more into this as my knowledge of the politics of Desert Storm is quite shallow as a non-American.

Japanese people answer their phone like that, everything is fine.

I answer my phone like that, I’m branded a weaboo for the rest of my life.

This is why I report the job postings to the website posted, and to my country’s department of labour. I know it seems futile, but I’m petty and I have time.

Turns out, it’s actually helpful, I had someone reach out to me saying they were investigating a certain company, and if I had any more information about the screenshot I sent them a year ago.

YOOO RAVE CONE

To your first point, I just automatically assumed that it was to feed into Samsung AI. I’m not a values customer, but my data sure is 🤡

If it was money thing, couldn’t he just say “I needed as much coin as I could scrape up to get Sora from Disney” like he basically said with the last wave of DLC characters?

Maybe it’s my nostalgia glasses, but this is something I actually believe coming from Sakurai. The man almost hates useless ads as much as Lemmy users.

Didn’t Ubisoft layoff 45 people in April, and then 100+ people before last Christmas? Sure that’s not Google/Microsoft numbers, but I’m struggling to see how that’s not related to the “reducing headcount” here.

They’ve also had a bunch of games cease production/get quietly cancelled, and if there were contractors working on those instead of full employees, those wouldn’t count as “layoffs”.

Edit: Apr. 2024: Ubi lays off 45.

Nov. 2023: Ubi lays off 124 people, 98 in Canada

Sept. 2023 - they closed their London studio and 60 positions were “affected” (they never said if they were let go or redistributed within the company)

May 2023: Ubi Lays off 60 people

Connected cars’ illegal data collection and use now on FTC’s “radar” (arstechnica.com)

The Federal Trade Commission’s Office of Technology has issued a warning to automakers that sell connected cars. Companies that offer such products “do not have the free license to monetize people’s information beyond purposes needed to provide their requested product or service,” it wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. Just...

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Lina Khan, the current chair of the FTC, seems to have a history with anti-trust legal research and seems to actively care about pursuing anti-competitive industries.

I truly wish her all the best in this regulatory captured mess.

iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air (9to5mac.com)

On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

RUNNING IPAD OS?? Apple what is happening 😭

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Why is a company called “Moroccan Oil” from Israel? I feel like they should be from…somewhere else.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Benefits how? I feel like gaming is going to become like the startup sector where companies create something to specifically get acquired by a big company.

Like it’s becoming so prevalent for these big gaming publishers to vacuum up IP and sit on it, it’s just the Disney-fication of gaming.

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

If you have any tips or tricks for DDG please do share! I’m definitely getting better overall results there, but the local ones can still be a bit rough.

sigmaklimgrindset OP ,

I see a lot of my friends actually use Bing through ChatGPT, and they seem to get better results than Google. That might be what Microsoft is actually optimizing Bing for
