I’ve been around open source for 20+ years and can tell you right now that it don’t work that way. An issue tracker and a wiki is not a community.

Most older open source communities were built on irl connections and irc, with some mailing lists thrown in. Hell, we even funded conferences just around the software, not to sell a product but just because it’s good for everyone to be talking to each other.

The issue tracker tracks the status of things, the wiki is generally user focused. It’s not where development happens or thinks get built.

They have one, but you also want information to be where people are. Especially if where people are is full of misinformation and rumours.

It’s an appeal

there is zero chance that the mergers going to get blocked, Microsoft has the push to get what it wants demonstrably.

This, and the endless and rapid conglomeration of industries in the west over the past 20 years have really shown how toothless western regulatory institutions are. The companies run the show, not the people.

well you have about 4-6 years to find another job then, like it or not, OpenAI is going to be owned by Microsoft

you’re still limited to one platform, the vendor has to recognise the NFT, and vendors are only going to recognise their own NFT’s that they saw value from selling.

there is no benefit to bullshit NFT tokens, unless you are running a ponzi scheme.

you’re still locked in because the licence provider has to recognise the NFT, the lock-in is with the licence provider. all the NFT is, is a ticket that says “I’m allowed”.

it’s the exact same thing but will added bullshit.

if you want a tradable token that doesn’t require lock-in, that token has to have intrinsic value. Like with a physical disk with a movie on it. there is no lock-in to a vendor system, it’s got everything it needs right there. it has intrinsic value.

NFT’s are a bullshit ticket that says “please give me access, you pwomised”, that you can sell if you want. but you could just do the same thing inside the vendors own system and it’s all exactly the same because the vendor has to say yes/no in the end, as the nft has no value.

Force? No one said force. I am talking about something like steam letting you sell your game. They could if they wanted and it doesn’t need nfts. Nfts are just bullshit coins that serve no real purpose.

Everything you might claim you can do with nfts, you can do today without nfts, or it’s a ponzi scheme.

So? If the licence holder wanted, they could just put an option in for you to sell what you have. The nft does not matter. It is not needed and is just added bullshit

Nfts don’t give you ownership over anything but the nft itself. Everything else is a license system that says, “You can have this because you have an nft,” you know, the exact same system we have now but will more bullshit .

You can make a patch, does not mean you need a patch. The vast majority of games work absolutely fine at launch. I know you’re a little obsessed with patch notes, but if you think that games having patches indicates that they needed patched then you’re missing the point entirely.

It takes about a billion qbits to break 2048bit encryption, so a while. I saw something about reducing it to about 20 million qbits recently, but it’s still a while off.

Old games had crasher bugs too, and even had new versions :o. 99% of games release in a state where 99% of people will never notice an issue.

Most games are not “far worse”, you are looking at the high profile exceptions and extrapolating rather than looking at the actual real landscape of releases.

The source in the article claims 27.8% so who knows…

Actual power generation depends on the capacity factors (CF) – namely the ratio between the average electricity generated by a power system and its nominal rated (or maximum) power. Thus, in terms of power produced, in 2021 (the latest figures available) hydropower generated 4 400 TWh, wind power 1 840 TWh, and solar power 1 030 TWh (IRENA, 2023b). The total global electricity consumption, from all sources, including renewables, was 28 500 TWh in 2022, a 2.5% increase compared with 2021 (and a 25% increase compared with ten years earlier, 2013) (EMBER, 2023). According to IRENA (2023b) the percentage of electricity consumption met by RE was 27.8% in 2022, up from 27.6% in 2021.

But in general they are talking about electricity, not energy. Maybe the 40% comes from best of situations when it’s windy where it needs to be and sunny where it needs to be.

I played through the most recent yakuza game without a patch recently. Was great.

How is enjoying music “pointless”? I don’t understand your train of thought at all. Benefit from it? I just like music

Comparing numbers between drasticly different countries rarely makes sense. Americas rates work for America, china’s rates work for China.

What is important is that its changing from what it has historically been comfortable at.

It will. This is just more layoffs disguised as back to office. They’ll lose a bunch of good workers, but they bought VMware for the customer base, not the workers.

America needs to start fighting for worker rights, it’s just sad how little they have.

So this comment kind of misunderstands how the Google ad system works for youtube.

When you click on a video, Google presents you, and the video you are watching (with categories associated with you and the video) to an auction. Advertisers then bid on your view, and whoever has the highest bid wins, you see their ad. This is all automated and happens in the blink of an eye, but that’s the basic system.

This means that parties that want to show ads to you will get to, no matter your preferences.

I literally gave you an example of a game I played recently, without patches and zero bugs. Please read the whole thing before leaving a comment.
