What I’ve seen from the average person, torrenting safely is for techies and most aren’t bothered with the effort of it. It’s a low hurdle that most people don’t want to waste time on. Building a local collection takes a shit ton of time. I’m currently rebuilding my music collection to roll my own music streaming server and I’m questioning the time value. But I’m sick of music I like getting deplatformed due to licensing
I’m holding my judgment on AI assisted content. I already feel ai writing and image generation is still shitty, I’m less interested in something more complex like a video game.
Also, my 20+ years in the workforce has taught me that large and small companies suffer the same exact problems and both are greedy. Ai will be used to not hire workers, but to increase worker output , not lighten their load.
I trust indie companies to maybe make better content, but I expect them to rip off workers.
Not that I’m defending EA. There’ve ruined so many franchises.
Do you have android or Apple? I was the only one with an Apple. Not saying they’re better, I’m just trying so see if there was a difference or if it was a software thing
I’ve never had TikTok, and i showered.
But I’m not saying it from a conspiracy angle, I’m viewing it from a huh, technology is weird sometimes angle. Or more like, I want to understand why from a technical standpoint.
It’s super weird. Me and my coworkers all have AT&T, and none of their phones worked and mine worked perfectly the whole day.
As someone out in the country, it’s not much better.
From what I’ve seen and spoken to the younger generation in my comp sci classes. None of them pirate. It’s too much work for them and they’re into that instant gratification. They thought I was an animal for pirating media… so I don’t know what they’re talking about
This guy is literally in every group I find on Facebook. He’s made himself a minor celebrity
How else would you write code? you write it, you run it, and do it again until it works.
nope. hate dealing with a cashier, never going back. If I’m grabbing an item or two, I can be out in like 2 minutes. Most places I don’t even have to touch the screen or fiddle with a card reader. scan scan, tap phone, I’m out! even at wallmart you can finish a transaction without pushing anything.
I plan to continue development of native Linux apps and learning proper app packaging
Nah, business.
I literally made money on a contract this year doing something I’d never even done. Thank you google. Love it
I like the AAA and pc games that have come to mobile. I prefer to buy games outright upfront over getting Nickle and dimes or constrained by time limits which is so pervasive in mobile gaming. Like I like games like Grid Autosports and retro ports like the rockstar collection.
I prefer to play with an attached controller like my razor Kishi. I hope more developers will port their games to mobile because I hate made for mobile games
Every game I’ve bought this year has ran perfectly in Linux. And I don’t check the Linux status before I buy them. Yolo has paid off
This game has taken so long that it’s either money laundering, the devs are just incompetent, or they suffer from the inability to edit themselves down
Which would be a bonus benefit to lawmakers.
people are shitty
