Aah, well, that sucks... it's not really a remaster then or even a remake, it's more of a reimagining. I doubt I have the patience to play through the original as it was envisioned back then though lol, I can get why they simplified it for the new generation of gamers.

What do you recommend between the original and Reborn? What does Reborn do differently?

They also refused our products catalog on our page without giving us a reason, and we can't appeal it anymore, but we can run ads on their website of course lol

Facebook is a dinosaur. They've enabled monetization now and there's tons of pages automatically posting AI Content (with AI descriptions) hour after hour, with bot replies too. It's so bad. Definitely not the place to just talk to your IRL friends like it used to be. I also have to run ads for my job and TikTok has the best ROI, while Facebook charged me like 1$ per click lol, there's no way anybody is paying that much for a click. TikTok's was like 15 cents.

If you've seen the AI Jesus with cabin crew photos they're from facebook. I'm starting to think some AI (chatGPT) told someone that this was a winning combination to post on Facebook and that's why they started making those pictures specifically. Cause I don't know what Jesus has to do with flight attendants lol.

ProleWiki is growing and doing really cool stuff these days so that's good news I think

Here in Europe we don't build new buildings, but instead reuse ones from around the 1960s (Marshall Plan and all that). To me it's always screamed "we're too poor to build new stuff". And you know, old buildings can only get older, at some point you're gonna have to make new ones...

it's like we like living in the past it's so unreal.

I have so many stories from there. At the end of the year they would sell the soon to be expired stock to the employees for like half the price. On paper it was half (you're just giving money back to your employer so fuck them I stole as much food as I could), but the person who actually took the money was super nice and often gave us further discounts. For them the difference was like a decimal in accounting.

They announced these sales by email with the time and date. And in 2020, the year of covid, when half the workforce was working from home, they made the sale as usual. I learned afterwards that on that morning, the siblings who owned the company went and parked their cars right in front of the warehouse where the sale took place, and filled the trunk with as much stuff as they could. Then 2 hours later the sale happened and there was almost nothing left.

Technically legal but a fucking shitty thing to do lol, your job is to have a blurry monitor and pretend to do Excel sheets and you drive a Porsche, I think you have the means to load up your car at the store like a grown adult if you need to.

I used to work for a food type company and the way they decided to import and sell stuff locally was if the board of directors (the CEO who inherited the company from daddy + his siblings) liked the item. They hired someone, my coworker, to actually run the market tests and everything and then promptly ignored any suggestion she had to make about the viability of this product on the local market, instead relegating her to a busser that was in charge of ordering the samples they decided they wanted.

I remember one item nobody liked (they would give us the remaining samples in the break room like some dogs getting the leftovers), but one of the siblings liked it and they got that close to putting it on the market because of it.

Are people investing in new automation currently because I've been using the same crappy tools for over 10 years now and they keep getting crappier.

Oh yeah we automate creative work now, the one thing that could still be a cheap hobby.

If Putin doesn't like that, he can pound sand and leave.

Or he can keep grinding Ukrainians that are poisoning their own soil with mines, cluster ammo and depleted uranium because I assure you Ukraine isn't winning this and even their NATO backers are announcing it now that the "spring counter-offensive" has failed.

do you sincerely think Ukraine will be like "it's all good you were a good sport we're gonna end the match here, everyone go home" if Russia suddenly decided to up and leave.

So no peace talks during war time.
