Wow, the cope is real. People have to be mad to call out the problems with a game?

Be honest, how much money have you spent on it?

Create the metrics that show RTO reduces productivity. It's the only thing they even pretend to care about.

So... most workplaces? Most companies have department wide goals and metrics that don't change just because half of a department walks. Even in good workplaces, hiring to "right size" a team takes time, and most of the time the work still needs to be done, and there's only so far management can stretch until it starts impacting external customers.

It sucks terribly. It's not fair. Life isn't.

More of an intentional choice they made, but Michael Cera's portrayal of Scott Pilgrim in the movie.

In the comics, Scott was a nerd, but was more of a jerk than awkward. There were a decent amount of flashbacks about Scott being the best brawler in Toronto and beating up entire school's worth of "bullies". Effectively a nerd that got tired of being bullied and started beating up people in response.

The comics don't skim over Scott's shitty behavior, and he gets called out on it far more frequently, keeping that aspect of his character fresh.

They also don't skim over Ramona being a mess either.

In the movie, Scott is awkward and nerdy (Cera's typecast at the time), and it's played like he doesn't know what he's doing is wrong (dating a highschooler as an adult, cheating on her with Ramona, beating up the person she leaves him for, etc).

Ramona's issues are skimmed over for the sake of her being a stereotype "manic pixie dreamgirl" rather than a deeply insecure woman running from each and every mistake she's made over the years.

So it's more of a case of "intentional streamlining and dumbing down character traits to fit into the expected romcom roles" than cool character being ruined by the actor, but at first watch it felt like the changes were all from Cera's performance.

Istanbul not Constantinople

Pretty sure that's the first one (I never played it) or Black Flag. Black Flag has intermissions in a game development office.

Ugh. Righteous ideas about how things should work don't change the fact that these network appliances doing it the wrong way still have years of time left before the bean counters consider them depreciated and let us replace them. Or that we're locked into a multi-year contract with this business system that requires updating certs through a web UI.

Yes, there are almost always workarounds and ways to still automate it in the end, but then it's a matter of effort vs stability vs time savings.

I love automating manual sysadmin actions, it's my primary role on my team. Still, ignoring the complications that will unavoidably arise in trying automating this for every unique setup is incredibly foolish.

Any number of numerous appliances and hideously malformed business systems that don't have ways to automate cert changes.

Not everyone gets to work in their simple little world of standards-following lab servers.

Scanning texts is OCR and has never needed modern LLMs integrated to achieve amazing results.

Automated tagging gets closer, but there is a metric shit ton that can be done in that regard using incredibly simple tools that don't use an egregious amount of energy or hallucinate.

There is no way in hell that they aren't already doing these things. The best use cases for LLMs for NARA are edge cases of things mostly covered by existing tech.

And you and I both know this is going to give Google exclusive access to National Archive data. New training data that isn't tainted by potentially being LLM output is an insanely valuable commodity now that the hype is dying down and algorithmic advances are slowing.

Mullenweg, CEO of tumblr in addition to everything else, is harassing a trans woman for "reasons" (don't know why, not diving deep enough to find out). Is publically connecting multiple of their disconnected sfw and nsfw identities by using internal tumblr data, and harrassing them across all of those identities apparently.

Until they lobby to get laws changed, many companies have legal requirements regarding PII that mean serious fines if CoPilot or Recall ever turn on in their environment (and if they're caught of course).

Windows is not going to fuck this up and force this on, handing easy legal wins against them to the world. They will have the normal configuration options available that they always do for features with potential legal liability attached.

If you're using Enterprise on a personal machine, you've messed something up. There are other ways beyond Group Policy in that environment that are probably causing what you're seeing. SCCM, Intune, Policies over the network vs local... that significantly raises the chances of something else stepping on your local Group Policies.

I've not had that problem on either of my Win 10 Pro machines when using Group Policy to disable things, over the last four years.
