It seems like everyone is forgetting that time exists, and corporations will learn from their mistakes and evolve.
Email was developed, standardized and freely distributed long before the internet became what it is today.
If email were created in this day and age it would look very different and probably fail because of corporate mismanagement (while CEOs take their golden parachutes).
Are you kidding? Lemmy itself is 100% public and easily scrapable. It’s likely easier to get data on users.
How long ago did those things happen, and what makes you think the uber wealthy capitalist owner-class hasn’t learned from their past “shortcomings”?
Why would multi-billion dollar corporations allow things like that to happen to them again?
I don’t think anyone anywhere is claiming 8GB RAM is enough for software and AI development. Pretty sure we’re talking about consumer-grade hardware here. And low-end at that.
I feel like some AAA games have gotten better at making it easier to return after a long absence. FFVII Rebirth basically has a timeline of every single event leading up to your current mission and FFXVI had the Active Time Lore system and basically an entire in-game wiki that you put together for that old librarian dude. It also had that strategist lady who would explain to you the state of the realm between events and missions.
Sales of physical copies of games is where consoles truly shine. It’s not as great as a few years ago (getting surplus steelbook games for like $10 sometimes), but you can still regularly pick up AAA games that are a handful of months old for $20 or sometimes less.
Check sites like dekudeals and psprices (steamDB is great too for making sure you’re not being over charged on Steam).
It’s just being a savvy consumer.
But yeah, when it comes to Nintendo hardware, the only reason to have it imo is the first party games, and those will never go on sale so you might as well just pony up. You can do the voucher thing and save $10 on each if you get two games (dunno if that’s still a thing).
They said,
Hamas are not good guys by any stretch
and then you say,
How the hell Hamas are the good guys […]?
Not only a straw man, but you’re literally acting like they made the complete opposite argument. Bad faith, dude. Bad faith.
Not even going to get into the whole, “they pushed Israel for so long that it finally snapped” thing. Just a complete historical revisionism.
Do people actually buy this shit?
Read the sentence before it.
No worries lol, explains my confusion of you bringing to Stalin lol…
Did you reply to the wrong comment? Because my comment you replied to said nothing about Stalin or Zuckerberg or any of that shit. I literally have no idea what you’re talking about.
Try again next time, and look a little bit closer. They will do everything they can to make you think you need to accept both, but there’s a reason there are two things you need to approve and why the wording is subtly different when asking approval of one vs the other.
And yes I’m talking about console games as well.
“At that age”
Buddy, how old do you think people are when they’re supposed to start checking for prostate cancer?
Who is “us” here? Speak for yourself.
“Really guys, we just want to spend more money than we need to! This won’t stop people from smoking, we just really want to spend more money to design logos, packaging, advertising, etc.”
Come on, dude…
Right. Because it is always about money, and if their sales figures weren’t going to go down, then it seems like they’d end up saving a ton of money by completely cutting out their entire advertising budget. No need to even design a logo.
There’s a word for that, it’s called “casing.”
Obviously not “hacking,” unless they’re locked up by a computer or some shit.
A hacker using software like that to test vulnerabilities seems similar to me in some ways.
Very Cronenberg
Wait is CDRomance also under threat? Ugh
There are also (somewhat hidden) “hard modes” where the only indicator that you’re in a different mode is that the badge number next to the uBlock icon changes color.
You can have it block all third party scripts by default for every website, or even go all out and basically use it like noscript. Pretty much breaks every individual website though but you can choose individually what to let through and save it based on domain (I believe) so you really only need to do it once.
Why would it not be profitable, it’s still user data?
