I don’t think they’re talking about Ubi specifically. I agree that CEOs are “easily” replaceable but I also agree that some people would do a better job than others

I find Affinity pretty easy coming from Adobe, with some caveats like RGB channels and some masking stuff

Interesting read, personally i agree that mechs “shouldn’t” have heads. The suits in Avatar look pretty nice in that regard, although they have other design issues

It’s common to stream gameplay to friends during a voice call. Sharing a single image doesn’t really compare

Can you share your screen on irc?

I tried it when it first launched, perhaps its just me getting older but the portal mechanic was just tedious. Learning maps is already hard enough without enemies being able to teleport around.

What I wouldn’t give for a sequel to Empire at War

Ah ok, I was mostly talking about hosting Foundry itself but that sounds promising if it’s relatively easy. I have some stuff set up but I’m very inexperienced when it comes to hosting etc

How difficult is it to set up FoundryVTT? I heard they changed some things recently but I’m very out of the loop

Maybe you missed the language reform, we spell it hëlpen now /s

Oh is it? TIL

Now if only they could make a Lightroom alternative Id be really happy

Gimp is not intuitive at all. Krita or Paint.net are good free alternatives and Affinity photo is great (but not free)

Ease of use and screen sharing. It’s incredibly easy to share your screen with others in the call/room which I haven’t seen replicated to the same quality elsewhere.

I have a lot of other issues with discord though, I strongly dislike that people have started to use it as a replacement for traditional forums

It’s on wikipedia but sure.

“While corruption is not a new phenomenon in Venezuela, it has dramatically worsened with the Chávez and Maduro regimes. In recent years, Venezuela has been ranked as one of the most corrupt countries globally by international indices, and has played a major role in the economic collapse and broader crisis in Venezuela”

your main concern with the country is "corruption, as measured by whom exactly

I’m merely replying to your previous comment, but maybe reading what you’re responding to is difficult, much easier to move goalposts

The fact is that as soon as a government tries to rule itself to serve its people instead of western capitalists

I’ve highlighted the pertinent part of your previous comment

After all the fighting, suffering and genocide in the region, it’ll all be for nothing once climate change makes it uninhabitable.

I’ve marked the pertinent word from the original comment in bold so you can spot it easier.

The government of Venezuela is trying to serve it’s people? One of the most corrupt governments in the world? That’s your example of a government trying to serve it’s people? Pretty funny

I’m not talking about Iran specifically, although I understand it wasn’t very clear in my first comment, but the region in general.

Besides that, 1953 is quite a few decades ago, will they ever stand on their own feet or will they forever blame the past? Every country has had tragedies but unjust as it may be you have to move forwards

Ever heard of oil?

The us invaded every country in the middle east? TIL

Guess they’re never going to be the masters of their own fate, in 200 years they can still blame the us for any shortcomings.

They’ve had “infinite” free money for decades and have had Norway as a clear example to follow but have chosen to squander it all.

Edit: I’m not talking about Iran specifically, although I understand the confusion, but the region in general as mentioned in rimus comment.

I don’t disagree with you about AGI but the timeframe is the big question. Will it come in a decade or a century? Impossible to know.

It seems the current predictive machine learning is reaching it’s breaking point and improvements are slowing down. Is that because the limit is reached or just a temporary slowdown until something better is discovered. Also impossible to know

I have no doubts that AGI will eventually arrive unless we blow ourselves up
