How grindy is the game?

I have multiple friends that told me that Conan exile was quite grindy and that they are not convinced by Dune because of that.

It’s too bad because I think they would appreciate the game but are too concerned by the fact that it would take a lot of time to get good stuff.

It was called the stone age for a reason…

Well good luck to you guys in the US. This AI government will be extremely dangerous. An all knowing advertisement algorithm reaching deep in government data with an unsafe LLM on top? Ouch.

I looked at the article below the one OP shared.

A trending article was about a restaurant owner in France that put a fine for people who don’t come with the same number of people as their reservation. Fascinating, such wow.

Link to the mentioned story:

I would say the link is bit more tenuous than you would present it. A Russian guy works for telegram with one of his businesses. Other businesses he owns are suspected of working with FSB.

To be sure, Telegram is most likely not very trustworthy but I thought that the fact they developed their own crypto would be suspicious enough so that people wouldn’t use it for sensitive information. Still it has not be confirmed that Telegram’s infrastructure is run by FSB.

I assume this is just a joke… Because with the relationship Telegram has with the Russian government this would be quite unlikely.

Perhaps it would have been smarter to prevent these predatory behaviors from social networks in the first place. Because it is probably constitutionally more sound to ban some behaviors rather than outright ban social networks altogether.

I’m sorry.

Terrible analogy honestly. Feel free to not use this software, nobody will ever force you to use it.

This is not software to entertain you. It’s a tool that you don’t understand how to use and choose to blame the people building it for free.

Do I really need to remind this is free software made by benevolent developers? I get it it’s infuriating but it’s still in some way a gift you were given and seem unhappy with.

My CV is still to this day in LateX and I still kinda regret that decision.

It just brought more headaches.

Eheh for a second I thought EA was Electronic Arts.

Like a beta game is unstable but before the beta you get the EA stage/release where it’s just doesn’t work but is still for sale.

Hmm we may have for a long time considered alternatives to the American cloud and tools but we still are extremely reliant on it in all administrations in France. As I recall 70% of our online government services are on American clouds. We also are almost exclusively using Microsoft windows and office for the desktop workstations.

I’m pessimistic in the sense that Europe has tried to offer an European cloud before. It was a spectacular failure that just costs us a lot of money so that businesses here could just take the money and then pretend they couldn’t make it work.

We definitely had a real shot in Europe to be sovereign. We just missed it. It’s never too late but it’s so prohibitively expensive to switch out of Microsoft ecosystem that many governments entities will rather fork out money to Microsoft.

So true, and all that to boost the ego of some higher up.

That’s the thing when you sell the idea of something which the value can’t be evaluated easily, you can totally bullshit on everything.

“This new brand image will boost our visibility on the market…”

When in reality nobody knows if that new brand will stick or if the users will really like it.

I’m sure the conclusion of this will be “AI bad” like usual when in reality a complete idiot with no understanding of AI was leading the project.

AI will replace part of our jobs whether people like it or not. But the CEO of the business is a moron so he did his special move and replaced people instead of tasks.

Yes.

When I was a kid I visited my grandparents and since there was still only Internet Explorer on their terrible computer I decided to install Firefox.

Unfortunately the computer power supply died right after I did.

Therefore my Firefox installation was determined to be the root cause of the computer being ruined.

So yeah, Firefox apparently kills power supplies in some folklore.

I’m already used to windows settings randomly changing in particular for sound input outputs… So now there will be an AI changing them on top of that?

RNG control panel?

End of mayan calendar ? Now that would be interesting…

Was it really still an official calendar system? In what country?
