I'm a sysadmin and these days a good third of my job is apologizing to end users for the stupid shit Microsoft does that I have no control over. Managing Microsoft products is like having a bunch of ticking time bombs that you have to juggle while everyone yells at you.
Mint is going away and I need a polished mostly automatic way of tracking my income, spending and investments. Sure there are cheaper or subscription free ways of doing it but I really need something that just connects to all my accounts and helps me visualize things. I'm willing to pay for the service and I get to leave Intuit behind.
Midjourney
I use it to make concept art for characters, places and things in my tabletop game. I'm looking to drop midjourney and do this all locally though but haven't gotten around to setting that up yet. In the meantime it's still pretty cheap and easy to use.
Hmmm, I think I tend to agree with you. Maybe it has more to do with chronicling and history. Dwarf Fortress simulates a huge history to generate the world maybe Rimworld could benefit from something similar?
Knowing your planet had some interesting history with a glitter world society getting nuked back to the stone age would be kind of neat but I don't know what that really adds to the gameplay.
Well you definitely don't want to have an IPO after it's clear that you've already peaked and there is no way to gain more users or squeeze value out of the existing ones.
The big problem is algorithmically driven content feeds. They don't feed you content that makes you happy, they feed you content that makes you mad. I think Lemmy is different in that your feeds are based on what is popular in the communities that you've subscribed to. Reddit used to work like that, but now it's all algorithmic content too.
It seems like these tech IPOs happen when they are at their peak. Get a huge influx of extra cash once user growth starts to slow, pay off your early investors and then self-implode.
There was a brief period of time where eSATA was starting to show up and there were never enough USB 3 ports. eSATA would have been kind of handy but I've never used it either.
I use ZFS for this exact reason. I didn't want to be stuck using a specific controller or have problems if I needed to migrate my storage to another server. It's a lot more flexible than a hardware RAID too and has some nice benefits like snapshotting.
