Cool. Fuck cars. Take transit in NYC.

They could pay people to check, but it’s more important that they spend billions on slop and executive bonus.

It would take an incomprehensible set of changes for me to consider going back to Microsoft. They can fuck off.

Ars is weirdly pro-windows sometimes , in the comments. I don’t read them as much as I used to.

Do the other ones have forums? I don’t remember even seeing them.

Is the steam forum supposed to be moderated by valve or the developer? I always assumed the developer.

I can see the appeal but I wouldn’t trust it.

Related thought: I despise how much stuff is made into video when a few paragraphs, maybe with a gif, would do just fine.

The other contenders mostly are bad.

Drm-free still exists.

They provide a lot of value without charging the end user very much.

Microsoft could have done this except they’re run by idiots and assholes. Nothing technical stopped them from launching a good store platform. They just didn’t want to.

Why would someone want a page summarized?

If it’s short, just read it.

If it’s long, the LLM will probably fuck it up.

They’re really going after the illiterate and lazy segment.

I didn’t personally find it difficult, but I have thousands of hours in video games.

Furthermore, if you are being paid the same but your productivity goes up, and the owner keeps all the new profits, you’re being robbed.

Even if it was dirt cheap, I don’t want to give microsoft my money. I don’t want to rent games or get stuck with a subscription.

Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<

Line breaks between paragraphs help. Emojis don’t. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don’t give up.

To your point, maybe you’re just getting older? There’s always been a small number of breakouts and a bunch of clones and shovel-ware. When you’re a kid, things are new and unlimited in their potential. As you get older, you realize that the game world is limited

I keep seeing job posts that have requirements like “must be excited about AI tools”. If the shit was good people would be excited on their own.

It’s all slop from the worst, soulless, people.

Match group should be broken up.

Seems fine. Implementation details could make it better or worse. I’m just glad it’s not more AI slop.

Jokes aside, isn’t this also a phenomenon with finishing books and TV shows?

I’ve had the same thought. When I finish a really good, lengthy, book it feels similar to when you lose touch with friends.

People assume it’s all terminal all the time. I haven’t needed to open the terminal for months. It starts up. With the GUI I open the browser. Maybe steam, too. Do stuff. Shut down.

I hate the AI thing in confluence. Stop asking me to improve writing or summarize. I know how to read and write.

I like the idea. I don’t want to use facebook or similar, but that’s where stuff like “BuyNothing” is most active.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about self hosting (beyond what I’ve picked up working in software development) so I don’t see myself running one of these myself. I’d probably use it if it came to my neck of the woods (NYC)

You can also buy drm free music from sites like Bandcamp. I don’t feel bad buying from smaller groups. Joyride! might actually notice the $10 from me buying their new album.
