@StrongMoist somewhere between "it isn't" and, because the government is slow, the effects of most of the nonsense going on won't start causing sweeping system failures until months or years later.
like how you could pull the game out of an old console and it'd still work for a while.

@TheGoldenSmurf "we should be more like EA"
... does he not understand how hated they are for that?
repeatedly buying up studios, slamming them with demands to churn out more games like the ones that put them on the map on a FIFA/CoD schedule, and then shutting them down to appease shareholders.

@ourokronii last time i had that kind of problem, it turned out a controller got buried under something and it was pushing the stick.

start menu just kept cycling through itself and i couldn't figure it out for days.

[ARGamma @gamma_ar]

@ALegendaryDrops sure, if you get the variety pack of poptarts, there's gonna be some in there you don't like.
BUT, the difference is, they came with the ones you did, and it was an overall better deal.
you aren't buying the ones you hate because some guy online said they'd stop making other ones

@bschne it's kind of a life experience problem. the first group developing apps and phone UI grew up on things like XP. you had to hunt for menus and troubleshoot software. they had the experience to develop more intuitive UI.
now the people who grew up on that intuitive UI are in charge

@OutrunPilot @GregoryMcFadden except a computer could provide actual utility in the everyday lives of the average person.
camera glasses are a goofy novelty, and mostly just make everyone else uncomfortable and unwilling to be around the wearer. normal people don't like cameras pointed at them 24/7.

[ARGamma @gamma_ar]

@GregoryMcFadden silicon valley people only care about silicon valley problems.
it's been decades since they actually introduced anything useful or life changing to the average person.
now it's all just gimmicks, shoving computers where they don't belong, and turning everything into subscriptions

@mark_k "the outrage is manufactured."
dunno, with the way governments and big tech keep ramping up monitoring everyone all the time, i feel like the natural reaction is "we don't want this."
doesn't help that all the people that REALLY do are the people who can't be trusted with it.

[ARGamma @gamma_ar]

@edzitron ah yes, it is the artists, writers, and actors conspiring against AI in the shadows.
there is definitely no conspiracies at all being crafted by billionaires and tech giants to make money and control society by forcing AI into every orifice of the average person.

@NicoleRCSkinner @WurtApp @factpostnews i wouldn't know.
does it?

[ARGamma @gamma_ar]

@NicoleRCSkinner @WurtApp @factpostnews you're thinking of Prilosec, not Prozac

[ARGamma @gamma_ar]

@NicoleRCSkinner @WurtApp @factpostnews are you not aware of what they're prescribed for?

[ARGamma @gamma_ar]

@TennesseeGirl @factpostnews sure. it was the SSRIs.
definitely wasn't whatever issues or circumstances led to them being prescribed.
obviously everything was fine and dandy in their life right up until that point.
surely the nepo baby who did coke off toilet seats and poses dead animals in parks knows best

[ARGamma @gamma_ar]

@WurtApp @factpostnews yes, i'm sure it was the SSRI's that were the problem and not whatever issues and life circumstances led to them being prescribed SSRI's.
surely everything in their life was fine and dandy right up until that moment.
surely the nepo baby who did coke off toilet seats knows best.

@Bensam123TV @MatrixMysteries k.
when the water table drops, sediment falls into people's wells. ours ran dry once because of a plumbing leak and started collapsing. burned through a bunch of filters.

@AnthonyTrucano @MatrixMysteries though the family that ran the scrapyard were just straight trash. dad owned it. when the son was arrested, fentanyl overdoses dropped 80% across 3 counties. the daughter beat a kid she was babysitting so badly they ended up blind in one eye.
and Big Tech ain't much better.

[ARGamma @gamma_ar]

@AnthonyTrucano @MatrixMysteries when i was growing up, there was this scrapyard in town that dumped stuff on the ground constantly. half the town had wells and had to start buying water because of them.
when someone has proven repeatedly that they just do not care, why would you suddenly expect responsibility?
