Welcome to the path my friend. I was extremely Christian, but I was shocked that the church would do that. I mean how dare man edit the word of God at all?! I’m not sure what I believe, but I know the church was corrupted

Nothing will help you because you don’t want to be helped. So you just want to throw a pity party then.

Being rude to service staff. Immediate indicator on who they are as a person. There is zero reason to ever be mad at someone making near minimum wage whose job it is to grab you a drink or check you out or something. It also shows that they’ve themselves never worked service, which is a rite of passage

HR, the “department of people”, continually working to dehumanize candidates as much as possible.

Can confirm. Did a contract with them. It’s 1000 old school business and engineers who are extremely resistant to change at all. Their agile process was 100% BS that was micromanagement waterfall pretending to be agile. No one should want to work there.

Obviously you don’t understand humor like they do.

Tldw: no.

Pretty much any version we know now has taken very liberal translations to change the meanings. Most scholars agree that the translations were not accurate. Then on top of that entire books of the Bible were debated and thrown out, the gospel of Mary magdeline is the most famous. They picked and chose what message they wanted.

Ah you’re starting to see the cracks that finally gave me the distrust to leave the church. The church has thrown out entire books of the Bible because they didn’t agree with the messaging. How can I go to a church to where they literally threw out gospels just because they didn’t like it?

Good. I’ll happily see my favorite games delayed for this. AI isn’t a huge threat to the movie or TV industry actors, but it’s a massive threat to video game actors. It’s absolutely shameful when a handful of studios receive massive profits and they want to shortchange the people at the bottom.

This paired with the news yesterday of studios starting to unionize gives me hope. It’s about time, they’ve been taking advantage of their workers for so long, they deserve to see what that does long term. I hope they lose 10x from a strike and unionization vs just paying their employees fairly.

Everyone is all shocked but anyone who has worked in actual IT, development, or computers directly know that the whole system is brittle and ready to fall over at a moments notice. It’s popsicle sticks and glue all the way down. It’s more surprising this is the first major outage like this.

We can try to protect our systems from mistakes like this but at the end of the day, all it takes is one intern somewhere on a project who can fuck everything up. And I don’t mean crowdstrike, but we all know that there are more vendors who have even less QA, who cheaper out on labor and safety for profits. The entire thing is one config file away from collapsing

No EA app? Holy shit, I absolutely didn’t expect that. I fully expected it to be a steam release that opens up that stupid launcher every time.

Nah, I don’t buy that. When you’re in critical infrastructure like that it’s your job to anticipate things like people being above or below versions. This isn’t the latest version of flappy bird, this is kernel level code that needs to be space station level accurate, that they’re pushing remotely to massive amounts of critical infrastructure.

I won’t say this was one guy, and I definitely don’t think it was malicious. This is just standard corporate software engineering, where deadlines are pushed to the max and QA is seen as an expense, not an investment. They’re learning the harsh realities of cutting QA processes right now, and I say good. There is zero reason a bit of this magnitude should have gone out. I mean, it was an empty file of zeroes. How did they not have any pipelines to check that file, code in the kernel itself to validate the file, or anyone put eyes on the file before pushing it.

This is a massive company wide fuckup they had, and it’s going to end up with them reporting to Congress and many, many courts on what happened.

Not to mention there are A LOT more slurs. There are pages and pages, it wouldn’t be a list like this.

The only way they get my clicks now are when I Google something and they come up.

They really keep making sure that I don’t end up there.

It’s a microsoft product, so according to microsoft it absolutely is. It could be the most profitable product on the planet and they’d say it’s still underperforming.

Just the whole movie. Why?

who would have guessed that laying off an entire studio overnight would have repercussions, ey Microsoft?

Immediately went from papa microsoft who believes in the studio to “Make money or GTFO”

It did, and it was wonderful
