Amazing. Love it

So any game that needs anticheat is shit?

100% this. I really love these small indie games where you buy it. And… Surprise you actually own it. It works and it doesn’t need a weekly patch for the monthly season pass.

And then for some reason the devs actually love what they built and they keep giving updates which is amazing and an added bonus but far from expected and definitely not necessary because the game is already complete.

Heh that’s cool. For now ;)

Enshittification must march on. We will own nothing.

Yeah. I agree with this

Additionally, GamePasses are designed to force developers to have to use them. If enough people are using it, they’re going to be way more resistant to paying additional money for a game that isn’t in the game pass. This means that it locks users into a platform, and takes the consumers away from the game makers meaning the developers lose. Lose if they are on the game pass, lose if they aren’t.

Just another enshitification where the middleman is the only winner.

Yeah it’s bad for consumers which means more money for Nintendo (and publishers/devs) Reselling a physical game card nets 0 profit for either Nintendo nor the game publisher/dev. They really have 0 incentive to go out of their way to support it, sadly.

Sounds like a feature not a bug. Steal the content and take away the source of the content? Win win. Then the content can only be obtained via the AI.

They have literally 0 incentive to be good actors on the internet when being bad actors actually helps them since they’re effectively plagarizing the content.

Yeah this. You’re telling me this isn’t just an OSS project by some mel in their basement?

Well that’s pretty cool.

“Today, AI is the voice in the drive-thru that can’t hear our orders. It’s killing the livelihood of creative workers. It’s the thing you have to do at work, whether you like it or not. It’s making search engines unusable. It’s a justification for corporate layoffs. It’s plagiarism. It’s killing information access. It’s taking credit for the work of visual effects artists. It’s a serial liar. It’s harming our critical thinking and memory skills. It’s mecha-Hitler. It’s the really annoying popup. It’s wealth inequality. It’s a crutch for the loneliness epidemic. It’s the industrial polluter. It’s the scammer faking your voice for predatory phone calls. It’s the military-industrial complex. It’s the book that could kill you. It’s exploiting social media algorithms with fake content.”

If they depend exclusively on the Google safety net attestation service this is true. GrapheneOS supports even stronger attestation though, they just have to choose to implement it properly: https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide

I like the article, but agree with so many of the comments here as well.

Ultimately I think one thing I’d love for would be a way to simply provide services (like Immich) for people but where the client is end to end encrypted, and neither the user nor the service has to worry about the how.

Example: how can I share an Immich with my family and friends, but where I don’t have access to any of their data. I.e. what signal does, but immich or any other service. I want to share my server with friends/family, but I don’t want access to any of their data. It isn’t a lack of trust, it’s that I don’t want that as even something they have to worry about

That same concept then extends here to community hosting. If we can solve the problem for a few, it should be scalable to many.

Religious extremists.

Yes. Clickbait shit

I can’t wait for mine.

Now if only Google would open up RCS to non Google messages apps. It’s just another walled garden.

Frankly, the buyers truing to get them to take a smaller buyout before firing makes it clear they’re doing what they can to avoid paying it. At the same time, the way the incentive was setup both parties were of course going to try to win here. No one who has 250m is going to part with it without a fight. And vice-versa.

Hindsight is 2020, but the reward structure should have never been setup based an arbitrary deadline but instead on a total level of success

I love graphene.

Fuck that. I love my 6ghz WiFi.

Fuck fireworks. All I have to say.
