DEF CON 32 - Disenshittify or die! How hackers can seize the means of computation - Cory Doctorow
  • Cory Doctorow came to the office I worked for Amazon in, to give a talk at Goodreads (we shared an office). I always thought it was ironic. I got him to autograph my Kindle, and he wrote "if you can't open it you don't own it" on it, so it's definitely not lost on him.

  • Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?
  • I use it as a time-saving device. The hardest part is spotting when it's not actually saving you time, but costing you time in back-and-forth over some little bug. I'm often better off fixing it myself when it gets stuck.

    I find it's just like having another developer to bounce ideas off. I don't want it to produce 10k lines of code at a time, I want it to be digestible so I can tell if it's correct.

    It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

    Lost my ship and its contents in Aquarius

    I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

    The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

    I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

    I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

    I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

    I made it to the galaxy's center in permadeath!

    I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

    I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

    I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

    Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!
