One of the best things about
is finding local places that you never even knew existed. Thankfully the worst part, players from the other team harassing you via messages, doesn't seem to be a problem around here anymore.

@peteramthor @Da_Gut Including the unhinged ones that should have stayed put.

Just realized week before last I was in a part of L.A. I don't frequent often and didn't open Ingress once...

@Da_Gut @peteramthor The thing that sucks for Ingress is there are only two modes to play it: totally casual whenever you think about pulling your phone out, and GO HARD by driving around the county aimlessly for like 10 hours a day. There is no inbetween.

Welp, I knew Microsoft's CoPilot+ Recall was going to be a privacy disaster but I didn't expect it to turn into an enterprise computing catastrophe for Microsoft quite this fast!

But this can't be a one-off. Any large enterprise that has to comply with a regulated privacy environment—HIPAA in the USA, GDPR in the EU, banking/insurance/finance globally—must be considering a ban on Microsoft installations on laptop/desktop computers right now or be breaking the law.

@cstross The silver lining is that Recall is only on Surfaces with "NPUs". It's not all Windows 11 or all Microsoft laptops (yet). But still as much backlash as possible is needed, the concept of Recall needs to be burned out before it spreads. Myself I bounced from considering buying a Surface to looking at ThinkPad Yoga.

@b4ux1t3 @cstross I'm guessing not someone's random machine, but one they already had some amount of access to. I mean yes that's concerning but they can't do that on a remote machine they can't access in some way.

We need to rehome our cat Eris, due to several factors. If anybody is in the Tacoma or Seattle area and is interested this is the listing: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/41629161-spanaway-washington-cat

Amos has most of the best lines in The Expanse, but nothing tops Christjen Avaserala telling Holden "Don't put your dick in it; it's fucked enough already".

@LeviKornelsen The two of them combined make the entire series. We need a show with just them in it, like a science fiction The Odd Couple.

I've never seen a snowmobile in real life before. There's one in the back of a pickup truck and it's the weirdest looking machine.

Christian Hoffer heard back from wizards of the coast about the AI job posting.

rivetgeek,
@rivetgeek@dice.camp avatar

@Tim_Eagon @darjr It's right in the job listing. The position has nothing to do with D&D.

rivetgeek,
@rivetgeek@dice.camp avatar

@Tim_Eagon @darjr I mean, they might. But their positions are slated for specific subdivisions and projects, so this position is not for D&D.

rivetgeek,
@rivetgeek@dice.camp avatar

@Tim_Eagon @darjr And to whit, the skills they are looking for for this position are for digital platforms (specifically video games) and would not be useful for like generating print art or text for a tabletop game. There's not a lot of crossover there. And if I were an AIML engineer and hired to work on video games and they came along and said, "Hey, we need you to work AI text generation", I'd quit or start looking for a new job.
