Forgive me for the pessimism, but I sincerely doubt that they honour any opt-outs. Meta has shown time and time again that they’d rather just pay fines as business expenses instead of abiding by law(s).

This. Numerous industries in the US make use of forced prison labour.

Eat them to absorb their powers.

Microsoft has so many spinning plates up in the air right now and they have no idea how to handle them all. Eventually they’re all going to come crashing down and smash on the floor and it’s not going to be pretty.

Most of the beloved Arkane team had left long before the closure.

This is a big problem with all sorts of disposal methods. It’s the reason I see so much stuff thrown out when it should be recycled or dumped in bushes or forests. If you want someone to do the right thing then you can’t make them drive across a damn city and/or charge them a disposal fee when they attempt to get rid of it. It sucks seeing mattresses dumped on the side of the road or on quiet hiking trails, but I know the reason they’re there is because getting rid of one properly is like $50-$75 which is goddamn absurd.

When the money stops flowing.

I haven’t purchased anything from a Best Buy in many years and don’t intend to any time soon.

Still about $20 short of what the minimum living wage is for my city. Fantastic.

We love to see it.

Om nom nom!

Thank you!! I sometimes post things I make either here on Beehaw or lemmy.world, but I don’t post everything I make. The URL in my profile will lead to my full portfolios if you want to check them out :D

No AI involved. It’s a 3D scene made in Blender.

Thank you! :D

Which is exactly why they want people wearing smartwatches to sleep.

I don’t know if this is hilarious or pathetically sad. AI has become the current “must have” craze in the tech world and it’s baffling watching every company try and find a way to shoehorn some form of it into their products and then try and justify its existence.

Cerence Chat Pro from technology partner Cerence Inc. is the foundation of the new function, which offers a uniquely intelligent, *automotive-grade *ChatGPT integration.

Why the hell would I want this?

Cool. I’ll just piss along the exterior wall of your building then or on the fence at the back of your parking lot.

Thank you!

thank you!
