I guess you could say it all collapses when an actual consciousness checks what state things are at, but that’d be a rediculous claim to make.

Would it? We now know with the recent experiments with Bell’s inequality that quantum mechanics can’t be reduced to a local hidden-variable theory, doesn’t that at least in theory leave space for consciousness? Sure you could go with superdeterminism but currently that seems equally unfalsifiable as a consciousness-based theory.

The torrent protocol wasn’t designed with anonymity in mind, not Tor.

Oh that’s already a thing. Remember that AI girlfriend app Replika?

Sounds like that could be some kind of sleep apnea, did you have that checked?

I had lower back pain but regular exercise pretty much completely fixed that.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to use a power wash inside, I think this is going to be a manual clean.

Le funny prank XD

Don’t worry tho, neither the guy who did this nor the parents are going to clean that, it’s actually going to be a poor person for like $10 an hour.

You’re not the target audience, the target audience is edgy teenage boys. Postal 2 was the perfect game for 13 year old me.

You’re right labeling them as “legendary” is just weird tho.

Death to the concept of intellectual property and all but I’ve never actually felt Denuvo making problems for me when I played a game using it, you’re right it seems to be working as advertised.

I’m still hoping someone to crack it in a more reliable and fast manner, fuck large gamedev companies and their profit margins.

Why not?

Sorry I just don’t buy into the ideology that the free market has this kind of “magic sauce” that makes everything innovative and better.

The early Internet was filled of people doing all kinds of cool things for free just because it was interesting to do, the only thing the private sector did is provide the base infrastructure, this is something the state can easily do too. All kinds of communities, FOSS software and media popped up and none of them had VC funding or expected any money out of it.

It was only in mid-late 2000 that capital really sank its teeth into the Internet properly.

How would you have communicated without someone owning a server and paying for it?

You do realize the Internet first started being used by universities and the military, not the private sector, right? I see literally no reason why Internet infrastructure couldn’t be publicly owned. It could function pretty much like any other public utility.

Yeah but capitalism also made reddit great

Engineers and designers made it great. Reddit could very well exist without capitalism (see Lemmy). What fucked up Reddit was explicitly capitalist incentives.

Yes because people never communicated over the Internet before Glorious Visionary Entrepreneurs from the Great Private Sector took hold of it and gave us all these Valuable Products, they just sat on their ass wondering what to do with such technology like complete idiots.

I swear free market ideology is the dumbest shit you can possibly believe in, I’d sooner become a fucking Mormon.

From what I’ve heard from Google employees Google is really stringent with their coding standards and they usually limit what you can do with the language. Like for C++ they don’t even use half the fancy features C++ offers you because it’s hard to reason about them.

I guess that policy makes sense but I feel like it takes out all the fun out of the job.
