That's not a headline, it's the name of the magazine. Trump has been timing his announcements with market closure and opening the entire time and every time it's used to play the market and accelerate further redistribution of wealth.

He could also walk on a stage, crack a nine year old open like a can of sprite and suck that tasty bone marrow out. With the current news cycles it doesn't matter. In a few hours people will be reading about him bombing an orphanage and then it'll be something else and something else aaaand he's reelected again.

Slap "Don't make any mistakes." on that prompt and call it a day.

The imperfections aren't as much the issue as the scaling. There was a thread at some point where someone asked how hard it would be to diy their bathroom after getting an AI suggestion. The problem with it was that AI essentially took a tiny room and scaled down everything to make it look big. For the generated picture to make sense the toilet and sink would have to be comically small but because every detail was scaled down it wasn't noticeable to the OP until others pointed it out and they could only point it out because of the before-picture.

If you look at an AI house listing they often have a very clean minimalist design but the size doesn't check out.

AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming in c/technology@lemmy.world

Being in an economic bubble during the age of (over)information is really weird. We're getting two articles per day confirming that we're in a big ass bubble but it just keeps on going. I preferred not really knowing how bad things are.

Avoid Grocery Store Apps (lemmy.world)

Most grocery stores in my country have established an App (or card) you're supposed to use and it's slowly but surely going down the route of enshitification.

They start by letting you collect points. Then it's extra savings. Eg regular price is 3€, sale price is 1.80€ but app users get it for 1.50€. Cool, a way to save some money, you might think. Nope. Once they reach a critical mass of app users it continues to sales being App-only so everyone is now forced to use the App but there's no bonus left. Two of the biggest chains are at this stage. You now have the regular price (3€) and the app price (1.80€) which is the exact situation as before the app existed but they force you to jump through some extra hoops to get it.

Additionally to that they collect all this data with the sole purpose of manipulating you into spending more money at their store than you did before. They extract their profits from their customers and if we help them get more efficient at that it'll be us that lose out.

Tl;dr: Fuck store apps.

Dear D4 artists and programmers (lemmy.world)

As I sit here and wait in Q after running into an invisible wall and disconnecting I couldn't help but wonder why this is needed to play what is essentially a single player game. Right, it's because nobody buys horse armor if they can't show it off in some mmo-ish open world nobody asked for. At least that's my best guess. This is not just a whine thread though. I genuinely asked myself why I'm putting up with this and it's because the game has a ton of beauty and fun to it that's wrapped in annoying monetization and general greed driven fuckery. So as the artists and programmers are carrying a horde of greedy goblins on their backs, I'd like to remind you all to lift with your legs.

classes with build variety (lemmy.world)

I know it's early but I'm very disappointed in the build variety of barbarians so far. It's shout builds only because anything else is too weak to compete. Even found the unique chain pull axe but giving up a shout on the bar is simply not worth it. Anyway with the start of the first season I'd like a class with some variety to play around with different builds. Any recommendations?
