This is not the emulation community per-se, but what happened to Near was absolutely heartbreaking.

Open source devs are often difficult, single-minded, and poorly socialized, people, but the entitlement from users is enough to make anyone go insane.

We seem to agree that actually eating real food at a greasy spoon is preferable to reading a description of the dining experience offered at the Ritz. But your replies give me the impression we disagree?

I don't have a ton of praise for PIC Season 1, but I found disturbing the number of people we would see on /r/StarTrek saying the problem with it was that the synths weren't discriminated against enough.

Exactly! Why go to the first restaurant (video) at all if you don't like the experience? You're really going to wait outside the door of the first one asking the people leaving what the food tastes like? How is that better than the restaurant (videos) you do like?

It's a creative work, you are talking about Veritasium as if it he's reading out a written a security bulletin on camera.

A menu is not a creative work it's a means to convey information. Veritasium is not reading wikipedia articles on screen, he's creating an original work.

Listen I am not criticizing how you choose to enjoy your time I just find the entire concept of finding the experience of reading a text summary to be more to be more rewarding than experiencing the thing itself to be alien.

What feels alien to me is the idea that experiencing a creative work is itself a means to an end.

I prefer to digest text too, but still would choose to taste a meal than read a typed up printout of the flavors it contains.

when I read comments like these it makes me realize that maybe all the money flowing to OpenAI isn't folly and there really are people out there trying to tl;dr their own lives

Yep! Just search for Stage9. I think this is the latest version.

Joke's on you I'd be into that

The torrent is still available and easy to find!

I want that for me

This sucks (Was it really costing much money to run?) but as long as Firefox continues to work with full-flavor ublock I'm happy.

Why are they angry? Are you providing evidence in your comments or just ranting?

LOL @ the gap where Neelix died

I watched this at full volume at work and my boss offered me a raise what does it mean

It's centralized and for-profit. They will have to do ads eventually or shut down.

That's the user downvoting the copy of the post on their own instance. If OP doesn't have downvotes then those votes won't federate.

exactly. the only kind of self expression anyone needs is going on lemmy and making smug comments.
