Computers have been a mixed bag
Entertainment is better.
Education is far better. (you can learn about anything you want right now for free)
Racism was on a slow decline. (communication, education)
The economy is far worse
The job situation is worse.
I’d say cars are better, being more efficient, but the SUV loophole fucked that.
my 7 series maps completely via front facing camera, no lidar. It was a bumper so it knows when it’s actually touching the thing, but it already knows, it’s just donfirmation.
That’s… Amazing… I think I need an emergency trip tot he craft store now…
Has nothing to do with deleting accounts.
Your disk is your fully transferable proof of purchase license. You do the base install from your disk and download the rest of the game online, as it has been for decades. We don’t really GAF about the loss of the disk, it’s the loss of the transferrable license, which they coud EASILY fix. But they won’t. They made this bed.
Also not OP: It was fun. More backstory, more mechanics. I didn’t have a family to play the multiplayer co-op stuff, but it also looked fun.
My home server still has 96GB. At this rate i might shut it down and call it my retirement plan
That’s a tough line to draw; it’s different for everyone.
In the US, it used to go:
But the coming and going of cheap music, streaming music, cheap video, and expensive video has wrecked the market.
I stopped pirating when purchasing music became cheap (apple music)
I started again when catalogs weren’t what I wanted. And supported artists directly.
I stopped video piracy when Netflix was cheap and good and started again when they sucked.
If you can bring me long-form entertainment that I enjoy and own for less than a meal out, I’ll buy it.
If you can bring me short-form entertainment that I can re-partake hundreds of times for less than a snack, I’ll buy it.
If I can’t buy it, or it encroaches on my other comforts, that’s where the line is for me
Quart take away containers are super cheap and leftover microwaves super well
I love how that article fails to provide any actual pictures of clear ice. and the only picture they do include was made in the fancy directional tray and absolutely has non-mineral turbulance :)
He just figured out the rubber ducky method for problem-solving.
So, you’re saying the AI companies are trying to get people mad over datacenters?
How’s that plan work?
Yeah, I get that. I was full on piracy for decades, when netflix came, I just ended up pausing most of that. I naively thought that they had finally figured it out, and we could just pay for access. Would have been kinda nice not to have to manage risk on a bunch of disks.
Then my 4-year-old was in the middle of Chuggington when netflix just dropped it outright.
I then realized that convenience cuts both ways and if it was more convenient for them, I was going to get fucked.
To this day, the fam watches netflix, but if someone is truely into something, It also comes down getting curated through the torrents.
The older generations are definitely failing the younger generations, but what are parents going to do as individuals? Try to convince them that the only music they can afford on their shit jobs isn’t ok? My kids know how to sail the seas, but that’s not something I could expect every parent to do.
We need the same kind of outrage AI is getting applied to record labels and media companies. We need a metric fuckton of anti-monopoly hurled at the remaining 4 big players.
TBF. we’re training the younger generations to accept it. They’re born and raised not owning anything.
TBH, I think 50% of my wife’s TT usage is finding cheap neat things on TT ads.
No used market means PIRACY will run free.
He beat cancer twice, with those massive fucking guns. DYAMMMMM
I think I’ll just skip to block user and let you be as salty as you want to be to everyone else.
I just verified that debian livecd booted inside a ventoy/qemu gets a new id every boot. So as far as tracking, single session only if firefox-ESR gives that data up.
Of course as soon as you log in to social media, steam, what have you, telemetry all over again.
