bingo.
there have always been countries willing to host content outside the prying eyes of the West. There shouldn’t really be any expectation of that changing.
Hell, if things get really desperate, we can all pitch in for a boat and host via satellite out of international waters. I think PirateBay did something similar for years.
why would you think that? The ESA is a collection of suits created for the sole purpose of making money. They only care about games insofar as it enriches them.
Best guess is slow growth that eventually plateaus around maybe the 10% mark if we’re lucky.
People are slaves to comfort, and ultimately that is what Microsoft and Apple are trying to sell. They want something that idiots can’t break, and they know the best way to do that is lock down the OS so much that you’re hardly able to interact with it at all. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of people fundamentally unwilling to expend the very, very small modicum of brainpower necessary to use Linux these days, and I just don’t think there’s any chance of reaching them.
I mean, I don’t really see any reason why the “dad game” genre wouldn’t work for retirees, and it seems like there’s more and more of those style of games coming out every year. Maybe nobody is making games specifically for octogenarians, but kinda wild to suggest that nobody is making games that they could enjoy.
this is the part that really baffles me, though I guess I can’t expect much from the class that seems to be literally incapable of foresight.
Like say AI actually does get there. Some company is able to crack human consciousness and we get truly intelligent AI, good enough to replace your workforce with… that AI isn’t going to be free. It’s going to be a monthly fee for your business. and then when you’re fully reliant on AI, when skilled labor is simply too difficult to cultivate any further, it’s going to inevitably enshittify. These corpos will end up slaves to the AI company.
It’s like they fundamentally cannot see that they are giving up control. They’re so fucking stupid.
Time for the return of the FitnessGram Pacer Test?
past me is an asshole, and future me is a chump.
the issue is that it seems quite likely that humanity will always have a subset of the population that lords over the rest of them, and that subset has a vested interest in keeping tribalism alive.
Sure, you can be an optimist and dream of a future that is radically different to how human culture has existed in recorded history, but the realistic expectation is that the widespread education that would need to take place just…won’t.
Gachiakuta is the latest and greatest example of this I think. Such a fancy power system, basically Stands from JoJo, but you feel shock when a character shows up with a regular ass glock and starts firing.
Been pretty good. swapped over to Bazzite, which does just about everything I need for a daily driver. Only real annoyance is my VPN. I haven’t been able to successfully connect through the openvpn configs that PIA provides, so I’ve been setting it up through terminal every time I log in. I think if I really sat down I could set it up to autologin, but it only “costs” me like 30 seconds and sometimes I like to connect to a server that allows port forwarding instead of a non-PF closer server. I also like getting to make the choice of which server I connect to vs autologging in to the lowest latency server.
I still have to use Windows 11 for work though, and holy shit do I prefer running two commands in terminal when I login to dealing with all the dumb fuckin bloat that OS has when I go home.
Yeah, getting PIA running without the native client has been a bit rough. These days I’ve just gotten use to starting a terminal as soon as I log-in, but I probably need a more permanent solution. maybe it’ll be switching to cachy as well.
Yup, and every time I have to deal with Windows bullshit at work, I get a little bit happier that I don’t have to deal with it when I go home.
very Orzhov coded, did you think about making a religion out of it?
I can think of some ways to get it scratched
he also 100% existed lol. Yasuke has tons of historical records about him because he didn’t exist in like ancient Japan, he was the bodyguard of Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku era. like you said, racists are just idiots and can’t stand actual history that goes against their stupidity.
Yeah none of those reasons were why people hated Shadows though. It was entirely racists. They aren’t gonna make any more improvements to their formula because Ubisoft doesn’t innovate, they’ll just wait for someone else to add an interesting twist to the open world formula and then steal that.
closed source instead of open source nvidia driver.
This is where the problem really began. though afaik, you can get a version of the bazzite distro with the closed source nvidia drivers already installed, so did you select a different one? Nvidia gave me nothing but issues when I was trying to migrate to Linux though. Ever since I switched to AMD, it’s been smooth sailing.
Britain marked Palestinian Action as a terrorist group and Germany has also cracked down on pro-Palestinian content.
These are not the bastions of freedom that you seem to think they are.
Can’t you use a VPN and route your traffic outside of your country?
