  • Which is irrelevant to the article you posted. They weren't asking for your theories about how mass surveillance could be done, they were asking if the claim in the title was still correct.

    9 day old account with 50 posts posting a decade old article and replying to a question with an unrelated wall of text is a huge red flag imo

  • I don't think you understood the inquiry

  • This was very entertaining until I realized it's untagged satire. Now I'm pissed

    Edit: Nvm, it is tagged satire I just didn't read the low contrast text

  • Online is free with the caveat that some games might not allow it at all..

  • Speaking real, the first product review I watched on YouTube as a teenager changed my brain chemistry. I don't even remember what it was about and I have way too much cognitive dissonance about it today. But that's the moment I stopped valuing things based on the value they provide me and started valuing them based on their inherent and relative qualities.

    On one hand I can't imagine not doing market research to find the best kind of a [thing] I want to buy and ending up overpaying for an inferior product. On the other hand I hate to be cursed with this mindset whereas once it would make me happy to have the [thing] at all. It's like I suddenly became upsellable.

    Maybe it's just growing up. Maybe that was just an extension of my aversion to making a value judgement about anything. But it does make me cringe a little.

  • Right, that was what it was ty

  • Is this different than the ddr5's memory encryption?

  • No you're absolutely right. What I described is more of a gnawing fear that I'm not being smart worth my money

  • Wasn't that 25? And again bad for economics.

  • Of course I heard. Last I checked war and oil shortages weren't good for the economy

  • Tf happened in Spring 26?

  • Comparison with closed source software sometimes does. If I installed windows I would pay nothing. If I got a computer with Windows preinstalled I would pay a price premium less than $50, perhaps even negative. And buying it from Microsoft costs significantly more. So how much should I pay Arch? Paying $50 for something I get for free feels like I'm being had.

    You might say that I can then pay smaller amounts regularly. But aren't subscriptions shunned when it's for closed source software?

    Then who should I donate to? I've donated to Arch, Kde and the lemmy instances I use. But what about like Linux itself? Browsers I use? The weather app? Upstream libraries of those projects? How much should each get? Kde already gets more money than they can spend. Should the amount be based on how much value I receive or how much they need it?

    And once those are decided then I need to find how to donate. It's easier to just not

  • Bad apple?

  • Same spirit as the nes "ports" that run an emulator in a rpi in the cartridge

  • But mom, all the cool CEOs are doing it!

    If an engineer on my team can now be 10 times as productive, I’m going to hire as many as I can find.

    Just be 10 times as productive and you'll get hired, lmao

  • Gotta get those inventory upgrades!

  • Looks great to me?

  • This is the biggest bummer about Sony quiting pc
