What a terrible headline. What do you mean usually? Implying there are instances where matter and antimatter come in contact with each other and don’t annihilate? That makes no sense at all.

Also it doesn’t vanish at all, nothing inside our universe can ever be created or removed, it’s a zero sum game. It can only go from one state to another. In case of matter and antimatter, it gets converted into energy.

I love the QFP packaged chips being clearly visible, how delightfully 90s

Oh that’s too far? Not all of the circular financing and manipulated numbers. Or all the shady deals where customers don’t pay till long after delivery and delivery is postponed indefinitely, but we still count it as revenue and units shipped? That’s all fine, but we draw the line at him having an affair with a spy, that’s just going too far. Man this world sucks…

Yes I’ve been playing almost every day. This game is a real gem. I’m running around all the time, trying to find all the secrets and the game is taunting me all the time. Look at this loot, you want this loot right? Good luck finding out how sucker!

All the wandering I’m doing it’s very confusing what is actually progression and what is just finding neat stuff. Then I do this crazy shit I half remembered seeing earlier, thinking it was some kind of obscure secret. Nope that was actually progression, lucky I found it. Then you fall down a hole and get ganged up by a bunch of enemies you’ve never seen before. You hit one and the health bar barely moved, Game over! Now how did I ever get there?

I love this game, I love the graphics (have the retro filter on), love the music (shop music = best music) and love the challenge. The game sucks you in and you just want to play more of it. I feel like this might be my GotY for sure!

A lot of the AI industry is powered by VC money at the moment. Which means a lot of the services offered are using very low fixed billing. This loses a ton of money, but is seen as an investment. The idea is to get a lot of customers and lock them into the service. Then slowly raise prices, enshittify the service and thus gain back the money lost in the beginning.

However what we’ve seen in this AI bubble is everything is moving too fast for that to be a good option. VC money is running out fast and the price of AI from the large providers is getting higher by the day. This means a lot of those AI startups that were trying to get customers are losing money much faster than expected and either have to raise prices or shutdown.

Especially in sectors where there isn’t a lot of money to be made. Customer support for example is one of those areas that costs money and doesn’t make money normally. So corners get cut, people don’t get paid much and stuff is outsourced to India for example. When the AI solutions are offered at the low fixed price, it’s a good idea for companies to use it. But when the price goes up and pricing becomes unpredictable if token based billing is involved, suddenly it isn’t as good an alternative as the older solutions were.

This is a large part of the AI bubble when people talk about that. It isn’t just the circular investments, way too high spending commitments and overpromising of the tech. It’s also the huge amount of VC based startups and investment programs that can’t economically exist without that continuous injection of funds. Now that the real price of AI is showing up, it looks like a lot of those startups will go bankrupt and large projects funded by investment will stop. With a lot of the market price of the larger tech companies being based on this huge demand that might evaporate in short order, the fear is a lot of them are way overvalued. When the market corrects for this, the impact will be pretty big and the fallout felt by everyone.

Gen Z is addicted to vaping: https://www.chestnet.org/guidelines-and-topic-collections/publications/chest-advocates/gen-z-is-hooked-on-vaping Gen A is a bit young, but the older Gen As are included in the stats and follow the exact pattern as Gen Z.

As for how bad vaping is, is a bit more difficult, as it’s a more recent thing than smoking is. But indications are it’s better than smoking but it’s far from safe. This site had a good overview with sources: https://www.healthline.com/health/is-vaping-worse-than-smoking-cigarettes

Gen Z/A are heavily addicted to vaping, which is a little better than smoking, but only a little.

Jami?

On the other hand, I do feel like I connect to Mr. Bucket on a spiritual level.

This was mostly advice from before the patches were available. With no real mitigation or remedy and no patches available, most people opted to simply disconnect the whole thing from the internet, rather than leave a vulnerable system online. The installation of the patches themselves should be very quick and require none to minimal downtime.
