Yeah, that’s basically it. I use the appropriate pronunciation when appropriate. 🤷

I pronounce my name based on who I’m talking to. With English speakers its one way, with speakers of my name’s native language, its the appropriate pronunciation.

This comment needs to be made into a plaque for the Lemmy Hall Of Fame. Thanks for this!

Do you remember what it was like before you were born?

Its probably exactly that.

Yup. Same here. Watching people choose atrophy for their own brains because they don’t want to write emails anymore radicalized me.

Free hamberders.

I’ll one up you.

Google’s “principal evangelist” for Gemini did a 2hr presentation for almost 1,000 people at my company on Google Meet a few weeks ago.

40 mins late due to nobody knowing how to get more than 500 people in a meet.

He then spent 90 minutes showing everyone how to do shit that literally everyone knows how to do with AI nowadays; touch up old photos of your grandparents, make shitty marketing mascots and logos, etc…

Here’s an image I took during the presentation. For a laugh, look at the background text:

A C-Suite exec got impatient and asked when we were going to cover how to use agentic tools and he said “oh I’ve got a little section at the end for that.” Ffs

Literally nothing useful happened during this meeting and nearly 1,000 employees were idle for no reason. A complete and utter waste of fucking time. Gemini dude didn’t even bother to consider what use cases we might be looking into, he just did a boilerplate ELI5 of AI that would have been outdated in like 2022.

Absolutely insane.

Cars didn’t need apps in the 1900’s and they sure as hell don’t need them now.

I hated school but I would have preferred to stay one extra mandatory hour at school instead of ever having homework.

If you’re not allergic to 5-10 minutes of looking at protondb or other resources to understand how to get the game running, this isn’t a problem.

I’ve not yet found a difficult process for getting old games running. They’ve been around so long that the community has typically documented everything you need to know to get up and running.
