  • Women, how do you feel when men or women glance at your boobs?

  • This does feel like a pervy question. Can you argue it’s a legitimate question?

  • I think a thing this highlights is a moral line. With piracy now being easier and ubiquitous, and a clear alternative to orgs monopolizing and ignoring their user base. I think the one thing they are overlooking is the moment someone does it once. The moment they install something like stremio and realise how effortless it is the org has lost a user. Not even because of cost, but because they have taken advantage of the user...so its fair game to take advantage back.

    I used to eat MacDonald's...usually took the kids say fortnightly, and one day i just didn't because it got crap and expensive. One you step over the line and they lose you, they lose you.

  • A distinction here is what is being sold to us. A disc is 'goods' where are sold the product under the assumption of ownership.

    What is actually being given is a service!

    We want ownership of a good, not rent of a service and digital via sony/Xbox is the latter.

  • Pretty decent tutorial.

  • PlayStation fans brutally reject Sony's disc decision, eye Windows 11 PCs over Xbox

    Jump

  • The disc at this stage is somewhat symbolic, its the line that sand against the anti consumer practices being pushed by the platforms.

    We have trusted them and during that they have:

    • They have sleptwalked users into accepting digital over physical.
    • They have infiltrated many areas of game production and monopolized
    • They have normalised subscriptions for many areas of gameplay....

    And now they are getting pretty bold of what they want.

    • You will have to verify your identity
    • The products you 'bought' can be taken away from you at the platforms discretion
    • You will have to be online to play the products you purchased...and you will need to pay for that service.
    • They can charge what they want for the games and there is no competition to weaken prices
    • You will pay more for your device with less features

    They are testing the tolerance with this. This is not about the physical disc. Its about saying enough!

  • Yep, the amount of acceptance is disheartening. i hope those console gamers keep taking it so pcs still have a tad of affordability.

  • He’s been getting into some beefs lately. They seem to be more from the side of others.

  • Top AI Researchers Terrified of a “Chernobyl Moment”: a Mass Casualty Event, or Worse, That Turns the World Against AI Forever

    Jump

  • Yes. I just think the concept is more imagined as a sentient entity making an error rather than overconfidence or incompetence with the tool at hand.

    And of course we all know it will be used as a scapegoat regardless. Question is what’s the magic number of humans lost to confidence in the machine ratio, before pushback occurs. It sounds horrific even typing it.

  • Thank you for your faith,…the alligator is likely to be my biggest challenge. Maybe a baby croc…or a Winnie dog in an alligator outfit…..it’s the same thing really. I don’t suppose I even have to learn tap to teach it. So there’s a few hurdles down.

  • That implies an actual AI when the truth is in current form human error using the tool behind it.

    Personally I am more concerned by it will be used by design of the techbros who are pretty open in their desire to be rid of some of the masses. Supporting emerging wars just masks their part….for now.

  • Some say tech peaked in 2013 in terms of pre-enshitification. What year do you think it peaked and why?

  • Quality yeh mid teens.

    Peaked on what people will pay for unfortunately I do not think we have met that yet. Too many people still buying or supporting bad products.

  • So many categories. It all tastes average, is tiny and expensive. Cooking and eating with simpler ingredients and less processed stuff is actually quite freeing in a weird way.

  • Making soups has become a really fulfilling one of my cooking challenges I set myself. Tinkering with veg soup and getting slightly different variations each time has been a journey. Extra bonus is there’s always tons so there is always some in the freezer for days I cannot be bothered.

  • In a world that feels depressing, the accomplishment of seeing you grew a onion or a straggly but pretty flower is quite fulfilling. you are right, presence and enjoyment are a therapy.

  • Agree. I once grew onions in bags...kinda by accident. I did nothing and they grew. That boosted my confidence. Radishes are pretty easy too. They both grew fast, with minimal care from me. Your location, your soil/climate etc also matters....its probs a good idea to look up what zone you are and pick the easiest growing thing. https://www.plantmaps.com/ if you dont know soil just grab a bag of cheap compost and a strong bag/recycled tub.

    It does not have to be hard or a responsibility. Perfect is the enemy of the Good enough.
