Probably because it’s been overtaken by exhausting far right narratives pushed by the companies themselves.

My Facebook page doesn’t even show me stuff from people I actually know any more. One of my cousins had a baby, it didn’t even show me that. Instead what it thinks I want to see are badly written posts about immigrants and “lefties” being to blame for everything, as if the UK government is left wing in any way at all…

Poor Laura has always looked a lot older than she is. Not unattractive, but even in things where she’s like 18, she looks like a much older actress they’ve just slapped pigtails on.

My favourite part of EH is Sam having to suck his belly in to fit in with all the big gruff marines. He looks like he’s about to poo himself.

I’m particularly fond of Hunt for the Wilderpeople. His chemistry with Julian is off the charts.

But it’s honestly hard to think of something he wasn’t good in. Everyone’s in a stinker from time to time, but he was never the worst thing about any of them.

Aren’t they using low accuracy FP units that aren’t suited for gaming anyway?

It really is just Ali Express with better delivery times these days.

I cancelled Prime and just buy a lot less shit I don’t need.

Bad take. They’ll give you an install disc and then make you enter an account locked code to access it anyway.

Demand digital rights instead, before a big player goes bust. Because at some point that will happen, and you’ll lose more than a handful of discs.

And then it gets wiped out by one of his own satellites smashing through it at 25,000mph.

They’re often cheaper on disc. Random sales here and there nearly always undercut the PSN price.

The real reason I’ve not bought many this gen was PS Plus. There’s a lot of games I’d have been vaguely interested in picking up on a decent sale, only they’ve never been on one, and then went on PS Plus so now aren’t worth buying at all.

Realistically the loss of physical discs means we need far more robust digital rights. The right to trade games to other accounts. The right to continue playing them if the store closes, loading games and licence keys from USB etc. That last one is going to need some thought to prevent abuse, but I think it’s essential if we’re going to live in a digital future. On PC that last one could be done by transferring licenses to another store maybe.

That’s why I subscribe to Jellyfin Plus Pro Premium Ad-Free.

The others had their chance. They chose greed.

I already am.

I just debugged a report, found the issue almost right away. A missing number in a GROUP BY clause.

Well if you’re measuring what I do through LLM use, the Claude is fixing it instead. Hope that dollar was worth it!

I feel sorry for them for the team that designed this. They had all this shit ready to go and then the RAM and SSD prices went through the roof, and tbh if you’re speccing a machine for mass production, those seem like the bits that were always gonna be cheaper by the time it comes to actually building it. Why would they ever go up? They never have before.

It was a nice idea, but the timing had completely fucked it. I don’t think it was ever going to compete with the PS5 on price, but right now it’s barely even competing with PC on price…

Even the Steam Deck isn’t competitive any more.

This is what shows in Steam when you search for it.

This is all you can buy.

Yeah, because you were thinking of all the ways technology could have been awesome, while what they were working on was making it funnel all the world’s wealth to a handful of people.

Brief reminder that the top 10% of wealthy people in the world probably includes you.

Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

Yeah, that’s what happens when you triple the price of everything.

2TB drives were about £100 a few years ago and now they’re close to £400. That’s a fuckin’ no from me dog.

Hey ChatGPT, can you make this “article” about 3-4 times longer so I can get paid?

Do people even bother pirating this shit? Surely they just use one of the many free alternatives that do exactly the same job?

Yeah, once one country has done it, the rest can join in with a flick of a switch.

The big sites are only too happy to hoover up and sell even more data about you.

It will be.

Zero knowledge proof is a thing, but we all know that’s not what they’re going for.
