Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

We already knew that GOG were going to be looking more seriously at Linux, as covered here previously on GamingOnLinux. However, they're going a step further as noted in their job listing on how "Linux is the next major frontier".

Job Requirements:

Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption

Nice to have:

Passion for games and game preservation

AI Mandatory, game preservation optional. Glad they got their priorities straight πŸ˜…

enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption

Seems like they want to hire an AI salesman, not an engineer.

It’s kind of the new loyalty test you have to pass for companies nowadays to get a dev job.

β€œOh yeah I love AI and want to be replaced by robots. Spank me harder daddy”.

Here's the secret: talk a big game about being pro AI in the interview, then just don't use it on the job. What are they gonna do, grab your hands and put your mouse cursor on the Copilot button?

[–] tomalley8342@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Copilot business subscriptions have fairly granular usage tracking, so they'd probably just replace you right away with someone who isn't quite so reserved. Looking at the comments here and in other places, there is certainly no shortage of such people.

Wow that's pathetic. You can just smell the desperation to turn a profit, they baked their agita right into their dashboard. And it's quite the dark pattern too, in showing the administrator adoption rates, it singles out the team with the lowest adoption for harassment.

Welp, there's still value in fucking with them I suppose. Send Copilot a "write me an email with no intent to send" request every so often, and you can bump your numbers up.
