Seems like they are, how would you say?

Careless People

Like the book of the same name.

What is even happening, how is IBM not melted down into a floating referent of an IP like Atari or Craftsman?

ESH

If someone would make a gog/bandcamp for TV and movies, I’d use it. But the only way to view either is through DRM-encumbered physical media or rent-like payments (e.g. streaming and DRM-encumbered “purchases”). I don’t want my files like that, thanks very much.

So I actually pay for far more music and games than I do TV shows and movies. Funny how that goes.

Don’t worry about “AI”, worry about the idiots who will give the imprecise statistical output extruder a gun.

This utter disregard from preservation goes hand in hand with the all too common notion that these are “just” games, and not art.

The Brave hate is ridiculous. I mean I use Firefox, but still.

Go to torrentfreak.com They solicit info from various VPN companies, plus report on them when they make the news.

Always has been.

This article breaks down the Proton controversies. I believe this comment overly abstracts them, but read what actually happened yourself: http://thoughtportal.org/2025/02/26/proton-mail-says-its-politically-neutral-while-praising-republican-party/

First time seeing this, watched the whole thing, no lies detected. (Though he didn’t touch on my point about income.)

You know given the differences in prevailing wages I’d bet it’s easier for a USAian to fund an Indian union’s strike fund. Workers of the world unite, but is anyone out here facilitating that?

It’s not: “Gaming is unaffordable.” it’s “People aren’t willing to give us more money.”

Well no but also yes.

An Atari 2600 was $160 in 1979. Cartridges were $25-40. Adjust for inflation and that’s $738.56 for a console and $115-184 per cartridge.

Also minimum wage was $2.90 ($13.39). Median family income was $19,660 ($90,750.94).

And it was new tech.

So the prices have come down. There are a lot of amazing games that are cheap that you can play basically forever. Minecraft, Dead Cells, Skyrim, etc.

But our expectations have risen while our wages have come down.

So not wrong, but not right for the reasons you’d assume.

How is IBM still in business?

“It is Anthropic’s understanding that the government believes there is a method of bypassing, or “jailbreaking,” a safeguard that would prevent Fable 5 from being used in identifying software vulnerabilities, the company said.”

So they’re saying the LLM is, in fact, an LLM.

I use Debian btw

Very normal looking. /s

Christ almighty I need language that can robustly and efficiently communicate the depths of my frustration with the lack of wisdom and thought behind this choice.
