The terms are used because of the narritive forms of a story.

1st person is from the point of view of the character, thus the view from the eyes of the playable character.

3rd person is he/she perspective. You follow the character from the narration of an external narrator. You see the playable character do actions from a perspective that isn’t their own or someone’s else.

2nd person would be from the point of view of a person involved with the character but isn’t it. So you would see the actions of the character through the eyes of an NPC. There was a demo floating around YouTube where a player was shooting zombies, and the camera was from the POV of thr zombies. It made it look pretty weird.

I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

That sounds on par for course. They have a valod reason, but other people that do it don’t and are terrible people.

And nothing will come out of it, as always.

It’s because there is no such thing as optimisation anymore. Websites are bloated to the gills with terrible animations and tracking scripts.

The tech is there, but companies are penny pinching on their employees. I doubt they have the insight to invest millions of dollars to upgrade their factories.

The HDMI Forum blocks open source implementations of their spec. They want to keep it closed source so they can charge whatever they want to use their standards.

Big content creators (Disney, Netflix, etc) want TV manufacturers to keep using HDMI because the standard includes a DRM protocol.

They want to make money

76 is a fun brainless Fallout multiplayer. I’d rather have a real Fallout MP instead of 76, but I can’t lie and had over 100hrs of fun.

Cleaning other people’s mess is okay for a while. But making a career out of it is too much for me.

I do firmware for embedded systems and every mechanical, electronics or general engineering issue is shoved down in my court because it’s easier for people to take shortcuts in the engineering process and say “we’ll fix it in the firmware” since I can change code 100 times a day.

Slop is the embodiment of that on steroids and it will get old pretty fast.

When I have depression bouts, keeping my beard groomed and keeping my hair somewhat okay is one way for me to mitigate the damage.

If I look like shit, chances are I will feel like shit. If I at least put some effort in looking decent, its one less thing to talk shit about.

I don’t want so spend my career un-fucking vibe code.

I want to create something fun and nice. If I wanted to clean other people’s mess, I would be a janitor.

Having the capabilities to take on debt helps to garner investments.

You can do a joint venture, take on a bit of debt but get more money of it.

And we’ve seen many mega corpos finance their venture throught debt (see Uber business model).

So I’d say that it was true in the past, but corpos are getting bolder.

The point is that major shareholder will try to hide insider knowledge to sell their stock before a big crash.

They pump the stock value as much as possible and sell it before it crashes. They make a shit ton of money and some suckers are left holding the bag.

Because higher stock value means more collateral for debt.

You’d be surprised on how much debt is used in even small companies.

There was a meme going around a month or so ago of 5 AI companies jerking off, representing the circular financing that this article talks about.

From the moment these “investments” were announced, people were already raising flags about circular investments.

I mean, technically yes.

But mega corpos have so much money to throw at you that at one point, it’s hard to say no and very few people can refuse.

It is generational wealth that is being offered to the shareholders. I know I would fold.

Back to fiefdom! You’ll work hard for your techlords or you’ll be starving.

People are uncomfortable with it explicitly because religion made it so.

Monkeys will fuck right in front of us and not give a shit.

That’s my issue as well with the bill. Just look at the crucifix at the Assembly. They didn’t remove it, they just moved it outside the room. If the intent of the law was really to remove religion from the public space, it wouldn’t have been a debate about keeping the crucifix in the Assembly.
