I’m a lot of things, but not a Velociraptor
If my productivity (and therefore my job) were measured not by results but by amount of tokens I use, you can bet I’m gonna burn tokens for absolutely everything during my work shift. Even if it’s just asking the chatbot what time is it every second.
Wait what? How? But wasn’t AI the thing to make business save tons of money by replacing workers with an almost free “artificial worker”??
Are you telling me that, as everyone and their mothers were saying, this was just a lie? Who could’ve thought?!
Usians: Yeah, but they give us oil, so they aren’t the bad guys. Iran on the other hand…
Did people get so stupid in the meantime?
Gestures at everything
I mean…
Since they installed chargers at my workplace roughly one year ago, I have stopped exactly 3 times to charge in a public charger:
First was when we had an issue with chargers the day before I was going on a 2 weeks holiday out of town.
Second was when I arrived to my holiday destination.
Third was the day we were going back home from the holiday destination after two weeks.
That’s about it in a whole year.
Mainstream media? Sure. Leave the mainstream world and connect with indies of every kind of art. You’ll discover a whole new world.
Pro is for mobile. Pro Max for tablet.
Poor sony is fucking over its customers and now can’t stand when they push back? I’m sure it will go fine for them. After all, Nintendo’s been doing the same for years and look where they are.
Gamers* are crybabies who will never seriously boycott a company because god forbid they skip the latest release of the game they follow. The gaming hellscape we have right now is 100% on the gamers because if they started boycotting when shit started to happen, we wouldn’t be here now. But alas, I suppose it’s just too complicated to ask these people to vote with their wallet for once.
Oh well, enjoy the future you are creating.
*Disclaimer: I understand that not all the people who play are like this, but I also understand that critical-thinking gamers are a small minority with barely any power even if they boycott. Sony knows this, and that’s the reason why it’s doing this; the userbase loss won’t be that big.
They don’t need to do it. It’s the possibility of doing it what is already wrong. What happens if pedohitler decides that he needs to shutdown the phones for some bullshit reason before the midterms? You think apple won’t bow and do as daddy trump says?
This is a major concern because it’s written in the OS directly. It’s not just something they install in your phone if it’s a lease meaning that even if your phone is not leased, they can do it.
Yeah, but you can’t enter with your car in a public restroom.
Nah, won’t happen. They’ll cut power to homes to prevent the datacenter blackout.
They don’t care. They think (and hope) people will buy the new ps6 at whatever price and will accept digital because what choice they have? Get a switch 2? Or an xbox (can you even buy them?). Nah, the guy playing fc, or cod, or nfl or gta will buy one. And let’s be honest, that casual gamer who gets the same titles every year and eventually buys something else (still mainstream) is the biggest part of their playerbase.
Some people will switch to pc but the majority will silently buy a ps6 only digital because let’s be honest, they don’t care if FC26 becomes unplayble in 2030, by that time, they’ll be playing FC30.
The headline is wrong.
Fascist regime fucks over people’s constitutional rights and could send a man to prison for protecting his own privacy.
There, fixed.
Uh… I learned that when I was a kid thanks to a cartoon series that explained how the body works in a friendly manner for children. Did you really need to get to the college to learn that kidneys filter your blood to produce the urine?
Exactly, so why are they describing this as grim?
What do you mean “grim”?
The issue is not physical yes/physical no. The issue is that if a company decides to take a game you bought from you, they can do it.
What we should be legislating is a law so if a company delists and removes from your account a game, they should refund you the price you paid.
Yeah, but I meant something like actually trading. Not just sharing in the family group. Imagine I have a game I’ve completed, I don’t want it anymore and you want to play it. We’re not in the same family group, so I offer you to trade it for a game of your library, or maybe we make a deal and you pay me some money for it so you are in a way, purchasing it second-hand from me.
It is now the moment for Valve to announce that they have come up with a way to let you sell/exchange games between users on Steam. They do this and they eat the whole market.
Still down on my end. My company decided (against my strong opinion) to use the whole microslop suite for the whole company and it’s been a quite… uneventful day. I’ve spent my day reinstalling DarkOSRE on my R36S, trying some new ports and roms… In 18 minutes I end my shift and I’m out until Monday. Meanwhile our IT dept is less than happy with the situation and the real possibility of having to come to the office during the weekend because everything is down and you can’t trust the system to send an alert if something happens.
Next time we have a talk, I’m gonna ask how did the outage go on their end and if they are still so adamantly defending the goodness of microslop.
