@OverdosedWolf @BattlefieldComm Yeah same error for me just now. Been happening only on BF6 before the patch too. Downgrading the drivers and hoping for less crashes 🤞

Does anyone have an alternative to Gmail they like? I find lately that my Gmail lets the most obvious spam through.

[Blake Henry @AstnKnightBlake]

@BattlefieldComm Thank you for listening to the community!

[Blake Henry @AstnKnightBlake]

@BattlefieldComm Bad change and worse communication.

I haven’t had a single game hit the time cap. Nor have any of my friends encountered it.

Why force quick games?
Do you have evidence this is what the broader player base wants?

The only thing so far that annoys me about @diabrowser is the outline around the screen. You lose 10 to 20(?) pixels on the sides and bottom. I get they want an aesthetic but it's so annoying on limited screen space. Does anyone know how how to turn the border off?

In 8 consecutive tests $TSLA Full Self-Driving 13.2.9 ran down child mannequins crossing the road while illegally blowing past a stopped school bus during our live FSD demo in Austin.

We’ve warned Tesla for 2.5 years. They’ve done nothing. Why isn’t somebody in jail?

@AaronVLe I’m gonna need some taste reviews though to put the prices on an even playing field

The latest episode of @theallinpod is the best by far in months…

I think you are misunderstanding what this tech demo actually is, but I will engage with what I think your gripe is — AI tooling trivializing the skillsets of programmers, artists, and designers.

My first games involved hand assembling machine code and turning graph paper characters into hex digits. Software progress has made that work as irrelevant as chariot wheel maintenance.

Building power tools is central to all the progress in computers.

Game engines have radically expanded the range of people involved in game dev, even as they deemphasized the importance of much of my beloved system engineering.

AI tools will allow the best to reach even greater heights, while enabling smaller teams to accomplish more, and bring in some completely new creator demographics.

Yes, we will get to a world where you can get an interactive game (or novel, or movie) out of a prompt, but there will be far better exemplars of the medium still created by dedicated teams of passionate developers.

The world will be vastly wealthier in terms of the content available at any given cost.

Will there be more or less game developer jobs? That is an open question. It could go the way of farming, where labor saving technology allow a tiny fraction of the previous workforce to satisfy everyone, or it could be like social media, where creative entrepreneurship has flourished at many different scales. Regardless, “don’t use power tools because they take people’s jobs” is not a winning strategy.

@AaronVLe @blakeandersonw @10x_app I would say 95% of the code I produce now is purely vibes. The speed at which you can move is just so crazy.

[Blake Henry @AstnKnightBlake]

@AaronVLe Agree. Facebook already following suit with getting rid of fact checking and copying community notes. Elons strategy validated.

[Blake Henry @AstnKnightBlake]

@AaronVLe @theallinpod You, @GraysonPCooper , and I need to get together again and catch up

This is an unprecedented attempt to stretch a law intended to apply in Europe to political activities in the US. It also patronizes European citizens, suggesting they are incapable of listening to a conversation and drawing their own conclusions.

@Pilestedt @helldivers2 The Eagle carries a giant megaphone and screeches like a literal giant eagle and fears enemies away from the location It was called in.

[Blake Henry @AstnKnightBlake]

@OctaviousWood @Pilestedt @helldivers2 I was just thinking about flinging myself across the map with it 😂

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

I’m happy to report that I will meet the criteria to participate in the @CNN debate before the June 20 deadline. I look forward to holding Presidents Biden and Trump accountable for their records in Atlanta on June 27 to give Americans the debate they deserve. #KennedyShanahan24

Hey @DestinSandlin! any tips on capturing a shot of the eclipse on film?
