You might want to look up what strawmanning means. I’m just flat out mocking what you said.

We can’t stop biketheft so fuck off women, your free game coz this guy said so.

Yeah it’s this shit I’m talking about. We have a whole legal and justice system to deal with this. No kne needs to accept sexual abuse as a new normal. This shit is weird.

Every time this comes up, all the tech nerds here like to excuse it as fine and not a bad thing at all. I am hoping this won’t happen this time, but knowing lemmys audience…

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.

I thought ev batteries had heating and cooling to prevent exactly this? Maybe they couldn’t heat enough through the cold to get charging again?

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

I know everyone loves Valve, but it feels super weird to be celebrating a monopoly so much and so ferociously. (I know Steam isn’t a technical monopoly. We don’t need to have that discussion)

Gaben is old, and he’s gonna retire. It’ll likely be a lot sooner than anyone here is comfortable with. When Valve gets sold, or even when gaben isn’t in total control anymore, things are going to start changing, and there isn’t going to be a healthy, diverse marketplace to soften that.

There is a very good chance that the PC platform will be a really horrible place because of the lack of consumer choice in which they can purchase and play games.

1, it’s aspartame

2, Mice aren’t humans, and routinely, things that happen in mice do not happen in humans. It is not at all indicative of anything and can really only be used as a hint better than nothing for looking into similar effects in humans.

You don’t need to change your diet, and you certainly don’t need to replace it with sugar.

They take advantage of viewer federation a lot, webrtc is used, so all the simulated browsers are sending the video to each other rather than hitting their server. So their setup is really just a part of the p2p swarm, like a single client in a bitorrent network. Doesn’t use anything fancy above that.

Honestly, it’s only a setup that’s gonna get far if you serve very few videos, and the P2P client rate is high. Their “real world” assumption of 50% of all clients being p2p enabled is way too high, and they couldn’t limit p2p bandwidth so all the clients were sending data to each other at lan speeds.

It’s interesting, but it needs to actually leave the simulation and enter real world load to know how things shake out.

Did you really just claim that journalists can not change the world by talking about issues?

Yes, it’s the people who are protesting the thing that are wrong, down with them. Jail is too good for them, I saw on the news that five people were a little bit late to work that day, so obviously, we can’t stand them.

Maybe you should stomach some of this contempt for the oil companies.

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 .
