Pitchford allegedly left an unsecured USB drive in a Dallas, Texas restaurant called The Medieval Times. The USB drive contained details about Gearbox plans and a number of its corporate partners, including Take-Two Interactive, 2K Games, Sega, Microsoft, Sony. It also allegedly contained “Pitchford’s personal collection of ‘underage’ porn.”
The Grease Homunculus once left a flash drive behind at a restaurant that allegedly contained CSAM.
Yeah they tricked people into believing that Apple added something that allowed users to charge their phones by microwaving them
It’s always the people that don’t have a clue.
It’s also always the people that think they’ll get some benefit out of AI taking over. When they’re absolutely part of the group that’ll be replaced by AI.

I slapped a picture of a chart into Gemini because I didn’t know what the type of chart was called but I wanted to mention it in a Uni report. I was too lazy to go looking at chart types and thought that would be quicker.
I just asked it “What kind of chart is this” and it ignored that and started analysing the chart instead and started stating what the chart was about and giving insights into the chart. Didn’t tell me what kind of chart it was even though that was the only thing I asked.
Bear in mind that I deliberately cropped out any context to avoid it trying to do that, just in case, so all I got from it was pure hallucinations. It was just making pure shit up that I didn’t ask for.
I switched to the reasoning model and asked again, then it gave me the info I wanted.

Just like I S L A M M E D my penis in the car door.
Good for you. Shame that doesn’t change anything I said though.
The owners are still supporting Tesla regardless of if their money is going to them directly or not. Money wouldn’t be going to Tesla if it weren’t for people buying them. It’s not just the money though, having more Tesla’s on the road drives attention to them. Makes them more desirable because of the “Well everyone is getting one” effect. That sort of thing.
There’s more than just money when it comes to supporting something.
Fuck the Tesla owners feelings. Make that shit as radioactive as possible so no one wants anything to do with Teslas. If people get upset over it then oh well.
I’m pretty sure these protests are dissuading potential buyers though. If people are willing to kick up this much of a stink then surely there’s something wrong. A protest is how you really get the message out because you can’t really ignore something like what’s been going on. It’s right in your face.
The only people that aren’t going to be dissuaded are people that wouldn’t be dissuaded anyway (A lost cause if you will) protest or a shitty Infograph that can easily be ignored or glossed over.
I am aware if how many complete wankers there are out there that go unnoticed. You can’t help supporting them since they’re good at hiding their BS.
But the difference is that Elon is a known wanker therefore you can avoid supporting him but not buying into his shit. It’s not like he’s selling something you can’t get elsewhere.
The sad thing is that people will see this and still try to find a way to keep using chrome instead of just moving to a browser that actually respects them.
It’s still supporting a complete wanker regardless of what you had in mind.
That photos shopped. Here’s the real one!
Because half the way they operate now is solidly based on doing the opposite of what valve is doing.
They wont support Proton because its made by Valve and little Timmy hates valve.
It’s not Valve/Steam dictating this. Its a user demanding it and the devs taking the piss.

A lot of people are really good at justifying the problems by completely missing the point as well. i.e people going “Oh you can just disable/hide/remove xyz” when the issue is that xyz shouldn’t be there at all or be opt in, rather than opt out.
Then there’s the people that listen to these justifications without a second thought or even parroting them, giving them extra legitimacy to other people that come across these takes.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this was a way to avoid typical launch day server issues either.
Rather than have everyone dumped into their servers as once, they let things ramp up.
Though that could be giving too much credit considering it’s in alpha. Aloha would suggest its still far from release, probably too early to bother stress test the servers or w/e.
Wild to me how people can look at companies like activision that a notorious for being extremely greedy driven and then act surprised when they find a new way to be greedy.
What do these people expect when they constantly legitimise these tactics by throwing money at these games and their MTX?
The solution? Quit buying the fucking games.
