CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@cks yeah CS department makes it tricky to say

@aanee well, moving chairs around on the deck is good exercise at least right

@angelikatyborska do you use their tool to make their website?

@qgustavor architecture is probably morally neutral most of the time? i guess it would be kind of hard to miss if you were being asked to design a prison and a mass grave

@pho4cexa normalizing vegetarian food and developing compelling alternatives to meat is a good cause, especially considering the significant environmental impact of meat production. I give you permission to feel unambiguously good about your job.

@brennen probably option 4

@youen @TomF but, I appreciate where you are coming from on this. My interest lately has been in making games that both run and look great on most PC hardware from the last ~15 years or so

@youen @TomF the ecological impact of video games is almost certainly a drop in the bucket though.

@youen @TomF about a decade ago a friend made a compelling argument that the reciprocal relationship between the games industry and GPU manufacturers was directly responsible for driving the development of cheap powerful general purpose vector processors, which in turn enabled medical and scientific research to advance significantly faster. obviously much more recent developments make this observation more complicated, but ai data centers don't erase that past progress

@Hex malicious compliance. a classic tactic!

@suetanvil i can probably help with that :3 what's the product

@TomF as but a humble toy maker living a simple life, i certainly like to think so

@lina god big mood

@SudoCat this seems like an option 4 type of situation, but it's hard to say

@lisyarus option 3

#poll for all you beautiful hard working professional computer touchers out there:

@eniko irc is *terrible*

@dan nya~
