There really needs to be more lawsuits for this type of thing. You bought something and they didn’t make it clear that you were renting it. I get the server stuff but you know what? After you are done with the game it’s time to allow the community to host servers or at least remove DRM for offline play.

As a dual booter such a dumb take. Mac and Windows are much easier for the masses. Have to debug stuff with Linux is not something the average wants to do or even can do. Not to mention the biggest problem, software compatibility. Also the last part gave me a chuckle. “Elderly people who are not familiar with advanced technology and prefer clean and simple computer usage.” Are you fucking kidding me? Mac is the way to go for old people IMO.

I have been spending a ton of time with Chat GPT 4 and really losing faith in what it can do reliably. Like I guess it could be fine if it is used like Google Assistant but I wouldn’t trust it about anything important. Been doing math refreshers and the AI just made up a solution that was totally wrong. After I called it out it just added another number randomly into the equation and wouldn’t acknowledged it lol. The point I am making man it is getting rushed into everything when it can’t be relied on.

As much as I don’t like it (I think art should be something hand crafted by humans) nothing Valve can do. It would take an insane amount of resources to vet all these AI games coming.

When I used Facebook I wouldn’t of actually minded this if they also added some customization for your feed. However $14 is a big ask. Maybe for ALL their services including the Oculus.

Seems to mostly work fine for me. However Google as a company is a fucking mess so doesn’t surprise me people have problems. I have had more problems with my Pixel 7 and Google Maps seems to be getting worse and worse.

Yep he made a video talking about how his employee had some rare reaction to the vaccine and started to spew conspiracy theories and say that they aren’t wrong. Sucks I agree with his right to repair stuff but his channel is a total cesspool of right wing nuts now. Not to mention he moved to Texas and doesn’t seem to have a problem with some of their abortion and authoritarian laws.

Boost is still my favorite. I’m done after the third party apps are gone. Going to block Reddit in my router to stop me on desktop haha.

How Sundar still has a job is mind boggling. So many failures and obvious mismanagement.

EU and the US need to get together and start breaking up large companies. Pretty much every industry is now a couple large corporations that are large enough to crush any upstarts, which you know if bad for innovation. Also will add a major overhaul on patents and IPs.

The public offering will be a disaster, hopefully. I don’t see how investors aren’t questioning Spez’s leadership after handling this is the worst way possible. Could of been straight or worked with the third party developers to integrate ads and premium. Instead he jacks up API rates to close apps like a coward instead of just telling it how it is. Mindblowly terrible leadership.

I would rather not watch Youtube again then be exposed to terrible ads. I accidentally went on Youtube on Chrome and one of the ads was a straight up scam. $7.54 Switch! Like maybe if they had humans vet ads like you used to do maybe I would have less of a problem with it.

But that would require a small amount of effort. Seriously though I get some cities aren’t bike friendly (they could be though) but worked in a city that was pretty great for bikes. Small/medium sized manufacturing plant with a bunch of rednecks and almost all of them lived within 5 miles. Of course they were crying like hell when gas skyrocketed and other than me there was 2 people that biked. I think the best part is a good chunk drove gigantic trucks.

Yea going to wait until user reviews start coming in before I purchase it. They promised a ton of shit at launch and it was lies plus the insane amount of bugs. Ended up playing it like a year later even though I bought it at launch.

Just saw on Reddit there are 300+ subs going dark indefinitely. That is what needs to happen. Sure Reddit could come in and find new mods but damn might end up being a decent amount of work/chaos. They should screw up their automods and delete the backup logs. Still probably wouldn’t be that hard for an admin to rollback but still the more pain the better.

Still hoping all the mobile developers come together and make a competitor. I like Lemmy but hard to beat how Reddit is structured and the size of the communities is an advantage. Also wouldn’t mind seeing Reddit’s public offering be a disaster.

The gaming industry is so consolidated and really needs to be broken up IMO. So many games that could of been but didn’t happen because some large corporation bought the rights and just sit on it or fucked it up. Embracer owns a ton of smaller developers and publishing studios as well. Like the publisher for Valheim is owned by Embracer.

Woman like Pokemon as much as dudes. Also Nintendo’s awful online experience is a plus for woman that don’t want to be exposed to weird online dudes.

They might be getting DDOS. Website is messed up and won’t even load for me now. LOL.

A month ago. Well that should of been a red flag. Honestly, it has been a terrible experience forever with soft blocks everywhere.
