Ah, over here you buy phones separate, and foldables cost 4x++ what I'd be comfortable spending on a phone. (currently on a Fairphone, if I use it for 5 years that's 130€/year of use, and that's at the minimum use. Plus the contract costs me... I forgot, but very little per month.

Now we need people to buy these to make the tech even more cheap and better.

No, we need the tech to be cheaper and better for me to buy it. This isn't my problem, the stuff is just not in a price segment where I can afford it.

Yeah because SURPRISE, not everyone is rich.

You raise an interesting point. With web 2.0, we did the equivalent of all the fediverse stuff blocking meta. And look where that got us. Maybe it's time for a different approach.

You realize the second part would also happen if the Fediverse "takes off", yes? Then naturally companies would come in and trivially take things over as there's money to be made.

It's a natural end state until governments can be made to curb corporate freedom.

It's 2024, and we still assign significance to streamers and stream viewers. No wonder the world is going to shit as fast as it is...

Is that noteworthy though? As in, it's a 3D check, and most mobile games have graphics that an old TI 92 could render.

Ah sad, it's just a teaser. Looks nice, but was hoping there'd be an actual introduction.

Yeah that's true, or at least I wish I could make FF remember my settings.

Yeah I was about to say, just do https? It's not like getting a certificate is still a big deal in modern times, hasn't in years.

Damn their video introduction gives me 90s and early 2000s vibes. This is like those early 3D-rendered VR experiences on television.

Me, it makes me a bit sad it's so low. Reader Mode is one the really cool features of Firefox, but I understand that consuming web content by reading is rapidly on the decline, as a result of the comparatively low information density of video and audio allowing bigger ad space compared to text.

Plus we know from the last 10-15 years how much reading comprehension has nosedived since the proliferation of video content.

Fascinating. Would have never guessed this was worth fifty million.

Yeah but why would you want to finish a game as a dev nowadays? You get paid for your early beta releases (= "early access"), not for finishing it from there.

Got any more interesting facts about tits, cocks, boobies, peckers or shags?

Uh... what do you think we do when a client doesn't pay us for a while? We yank their access. That's how services work, you get a few warnings that you really need to pay or you'll lose access and then, well, you lose access.

Yes

I mean the corpses in their bright jackets are useful, they tell you about the dangerous spots! 💡

"Quiet quitting" 😂

Because yeah, you only do the job they pay you for, how dare you!
