Didn't come out of my pocket so I could really not care less about the money spent. On the other hand I am deeply appreciative of the way it shaped life and culture since then, particularly in the optimism it gives me for the future.

It might be worth noting that GPs premise that money isn't being moved is not necessarily true. Counter Strike, for example, has a massive market for items that are dealt with real currency. A particularly lucky unbox could win you ove

No, GP makes a fair point. If it were true that all this does is benefit claimants and plaintiffs, the adversaries of the one taking the action, why would they do it?

This is not an argument (your situation is non-existent and fallacious) so you've more or less lost this debate here, but I'll give that it was funny.

Maybe this is callous, but this kind of sounds like a win win. Investors who are responsible for enshittifying all my favorite stuff finally get screwed for once, AI gets democratized instead of being solely in the hands of OpenAI/Goog

No? This comment thread chain is specifically about the use of nuclear bombs in WWII. GP was replying to someone who brought that up.

Steam deck is a PC by Valve's own admission and my own anecdotal experience with mine.

Are you an airline? If not, the benefits to you of set costs should be obvious. Now consider that the vast, vast majority of humanity are not airlines, meaning that the net benefit to humanity would be enormous.

Sure, but your analogy fails there since it implies that the map contains the entire original work. AI models do not contain the entire original works of their training data. If they did they would be the most efficient storage methods ever

I wish this were true, but other drivers that do make those mistakes and can crash into you and kill you at no fault of your own.

That's beside the point, isn't it? I don't think anybody is arguing that Windows doesn't have issues

Why?

> What makes you think the crack you apply to your official ISO isn't compromising your OS? I guess the crack being FOSS with readable source code helps. It's a 9000 line cmd file with insane Windows-y things everywhere that ma

I think at some point the onus lies with the games that have Windows as a requirement. Them having that mandate at all is what's feeding the power Windows has over computing. Of course that also relies on people playing those games so

I wonder why in these threads nobody ever says to just pirate Windows. It's not hard to do. Sometimes people will float security concerns but it's a safe process if you just load an official ISO and then crack it, and even if it w

Exact same sentiment for alcohol being a "rite of passage." Some people actually believe that drinking alcohol is a necessary step to life, as essential as graduating from school. It is genuinely some of the most insane marketing

If you read the article that the term you're using actually originates from, it states that a necessary part of enshittification is that it makes the application less useful for users. This change does the opposite and doesn't qua

Video replies was a crazy idea in retrospect. Being able to anchor arbitrary videos to any other video at will is insanely ripe for abuse. If the feature existed today you would surely see thousands of spam videos with no relevance to the c

The same is true for me, yet I can still recognize the issues that people would be anxious about and empathize with why they might be anxious about them. I suspect you might be speaking disingenuously, thinking more about what you wrote her

by skeaker 3y ago
There are plenty of things to be anxious about that aren't the extreme belief that you are mistakenly attributing to a whole group.

I've understood the term to essentially mean that they are dissatisfied with the culture of "work or die." No money means starvation, homelessness, and death, so whether or not you're conscious of it you're essentia

Anecdotal, but Lawbreakers wasn't nearly as good of a game in any respect. Saying that it might have succeeded if not for Overwatch might be true, but then you could also say that anything could succeed without any competition. Pong wo

Human experience varies way, way too much for there to be a definite answer to this. There are billions of people, and a 100% chance that some people work better with longer hours. Some people love work more than having a family and will ha

The fact is that they are, and thinking otherwise demonstrates that you don't fully understand how most people on reddit utilize subscriptions. Subscribing to a subreddit is most frequently done so that posts from it can occasionally a

Your quip about deserving no ads has precisely 0 to do with the comment you are replying to. Nothing does but the last tiny sentence where you voice your own unpopular opinion with no substance to back it. Really strange post.

Regardless of your thoughts on the actual changes made, I think most would agree that Reddit is distinctly in the wrong thanks to the bald-faced lies that the CEO has tried to use to pin the blame for his decisions on innocent parties. See

I'm no fan of Meta, but a lot of these questions seem unfair. They open by saying Meta let people download the model "rather than centralizing and restricting access to the underlying data, software, and model," which is true

I don't understand this. What's the contention that's actually getting people upset here?
