currently going trough my personal backlog of games I've always wanted to play but never could. Never had my own console or a good enough PC. bought myself a steam deck and I've been an absolute degenerate doing nothing but playing video games. Just finished all 3 watch dogs (+ DLCs), currently working my way trough horizon zero dawn then will play forbidden west. Also simultaneously playing expedition 33, fallout 4, sleeping dogs and the witcher 3. I know its not high art but watch dogs is my favourite game and franchise I wish ubisoft would do something more with it.

prison population is already being used as slave labor for the state and federal government, they're not gonna give that up for free if they're not benefiting somehow. That would involved the US government actually caring about its citizens and them not being victims (see the current state of crypto scams and its criminal prosecution). I also doubt any company would pay so that they can use prisoners since it would involve them spending even more.

While the country often looks like the mouth of hell itself due to its dirty environment and streets, its GDP per capita is actually slightly higher than Uzbekistan’s. ........ Unlike China, India is not an industrialized country. So the pollution you see there doesn’t really come from industrialization, but from a lack of civic sense – people throw trash wherever they want – and a lack of moral consciousness, which allows them to scam others. The real problem in that country isn’t economic, but cultural. And you don’t want that mess in your country.

also I don't know who wrote this article but is this really necessary to the discussion. Seems like more of hatred of Indians than just the scams

a lot of firms outsource customer service to India because its cheaper for them to operate. The same giant firms that spend billions lobbying politicians to make laws that work only for them so they can keep making money. Noble effort but this will literally never happen.

I know the market is ass rn, I've been looking for a job since I graduated in November of last year with no luck. Every application I get a response like "you are great, your skills are great, you meet every criteria but we found someone better". I recently decided to start replying to emails to ask why I wasn't picked (I reply only to emails that aren't from no-reply or if the say I can ask for feedback). So far I have not even received one reply. Am I wasting my time??? I feel like it's just from automated systems and they don't even look at it. Is everything literally a ghost job?? If you have ever asked for feedback have you gotten anything useful from it?

every time I see a game has great graphics and is made with UE 5 I never get it anymore because I know it'll run like ass on my PC. I'm not a billionaire who can afford a fancy computer with a GPU.

I'm imagining a scandal in a few years where an influencer fakes a bf/gf who was generated by this lmao low key could happen (assuming this thing manages consistency of one face)

you can turn it off (for now)

[–] kennedy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

yes but currently as it stands the bad greatly outweighs the good

I am currently unemployed (been looking for almost a year with no luck) instead of doing nothing I thought I might learn something new. I work on some coding projects for fun in the meantime because I love doing it. I went to school for computer engineering but I've always been interested in cybersecurity/infoSec I think its a good skill to have. I've been looking at courses that give you certification but I have no money (see unemployment). I've been mostly self taught anyways so I was wondering if you guys have come across any good books on the subject. A book you used as part of a university course you took or a book that helped you. I also feel like those courses with certificates barely teach you anything (especially the free ones). They feel like a bunch of checklists. I want to learn so I feel like a good book will help.

I have a part time job right now so I'm thinking I learn by myself then get enough money to get "officially certified" and move into cybersecurity cause software engineering only isn't doing me any good in this economy.

 

I recently saw an ad for biscoff and I was surprised that people would eat them randomly. The only time I ever eat biscoff is on a plane when the flight attendant gives me some. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love them but I rarely think about it as something I can just go buy in a store. Seeing the ad was so jarring because to me it doesn't feel like something I should eat a lower altitudes

 

I don't like the direction the world and mainstream social media are going.
