I'm probably not going to pay $10 a year with additional fees to have my music on a website unless a lot of people are already using it

this pretty much sums it up. I thought trump would be incoherent, but some of the stuff out of his mouth was borderline surreal. Harris had completely tuned herself to 'beat' trump, and while it worked, it's painfully clear that she doesn't have a single original thought - nothing but platitudes, the same canned phrases about working families and small businesses, same tired defence of Israel.

you can still get the logical journey of the zoombinis on steam (and on android/ios). no joke, I think that game taught me deductive reasoning

I have spent the last 10 years of my career writing open source scientific software

ignorance is one thing, but it's a whole nother level of loser behaviour to intentionally do unpaid work for big tech companies in your free time

the number of people willing to bat for this on Lemmy is truly disturbing. what do they think these ai models are trained on?

I understand that this is a big loss for the emulation community, but as someone who did a bit of romhacking during COVID, I found their moderation to be terrible and arbitrary.

it's not really subjective, having a drm free download is like owning the thing, having it on steam is like borrowing it from someone fairly trustworthy, and having it on epic is like borrowing it from an asshole

you're on a decentralised, federated social media website. why are you arguing that more centralisation is a good thing? the comparison you're making is nonsense. you don't need to download an app or sign up for an account to listen to music drm free or to play drm free copies of games. you download the thing at the point of purchase and then you own it and you can do whatever you want with it. and that includes launching it from steam, which I do with a lot of my drm free games

people in this thread have lost their damn minds. you can buy the game without DRM. that's better than epic or steam

it's still mostly red hat even for arm, though Cray (who still supply a lot of machines here in the UK) ship a horribly butchered version of SLES

irrelevant to the thread, but it actually took only 3 years for clement atlee's government to create the UK's national health service

the vast majority of the internet is shit, it's a slurry of Content from content farms designed to top google search results or go viral on social media. if all that were to disappear then the internet would absolutely become a better place
