Indeed, video games are probably the things most of humanity will retire to if they didn't attach so much ego and meaning to their jobs and by extension, the people around them. Just be sure to swap games once in a while so you don&#x2

Keep widening the context. Last thing we need is a developer with rent on their minds, influenced by internet comments, developing on linux and being ignorant of the realities there.

Good argument, it really gives context. Also it's worth noting throughout history, the incumbent world power will have clashes with the up and coming power to the throne. A lot of propaganda will be dispensed from both sides. Be critic

When you start presuming that the cause of this is that China is evil and wants world domination, let me remind you that it's the propaganda getting to you. China had a mandate to contribute to climate action goals years ago. Their gov

Indeed. Everyone wants cheaper, faster goods until it threatens their jobs.

From what I've heard most of that 3% is steam decks, so the growth isn't exactly people switching their daily OS driver.

Thanks for the counterbalancing post. Linux isn't quite there yet.

You definitely didn't read what I said. It is subjective value, it will be true to some.

Maybe you're forgetting something but genAI does produce value. Subjective value, yes. But still value to others who can make use of them. End of the day your current prosperity is made by advances in energy and technology. It would be

So this essentially boils down to an efficiency argument, and honestly it doesn't really address the core issue of whether it's 'stealing' or not.

To any person with a view on numbers (who may as well be an AI), ignorant of any authority, he would be someone who is very overpaid and too much of a critical risk factor.

Don't worry I'm sure they'll find ways to say their jobs can only be done by humans. Even the Pope is denouncing AI in fear that it'll replace god.

Precisely. Nothing is truly original. To talk as though there's an abstract ownership over even an observation of the thing that force people to pay rent to use.. well artists definitely don't pay to whoever invented perspective d

TBF this does reek of professional corporate egoism circumventing "if it ain't broke don't fix it" practicalities. Personally I'm quite fearful of how many more things it'll break.

It would be ironic if incidents like this made Valve start charging companies for large file sizes of their games. It would go to show that good things get abused to no end if limits aren't set.

Many game devs develop on windows and for good reason in that most of their customer base are there, plus the stability of drivers there. Your assumption of what you've been taught in compsci circles with many resources at their dispos

Yea I don't know how you can consider something as not 'tested' without a testing framework behind it.

Yup, and these are targeting somewhat immature consumers going for the fomo and marketing narratives. Ever heard the japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi? It's the philosophy of beauty in imperfections.

> As humans, we appreciate also the process in making things, not just the end result. I generally think this doesn't apply to most people unless it affects the result they want out of the product. But hey, more power to you!

I'm talking about the practicalities though. For example I'd really like my smartphones to be long lasting and reliable such that I only have to replace every 10 years. All that Apple marketing isn't convincing me to buy thei

This is called marketing and pushing a brand. It's nothing new. It could even be faked. There was a clothing brand who said their stuff was all hand made, artisanal, only to be found out they sent their stuff to China to make. Now the

Because the tool threatens to put the majority of them out of business and jobs. The rest of their arguments, however illogical, all stem from this core of the fear of losing their livelihood.

$50 is exaggerating it nowadays. With async trade you could buy a single merchant tab to gain access to trade (stuff sells pretty quick with async trade!), and maybe a currency and scarab tab for the bare minimum convenience. Around $20 and
