Sometimes, it bothers me that this community has been taken over by the pc gaming bros. I guess it's reflective of lemmy as a whole. After the burst of new users, you got a lot of diversity systemwide.
But that's gone again now, and we are just left with the overly technical people who are going to circlejerk about the same things over and over.
Lemmy just didn't stick, and this is what we have left.
This is a profoundly American problem op. The rest of the world does not have these issues. Contact you're representatives and ask them why this is the only place in the world that has this issue.
For the way modern stuff works, it does. If you want notifications that don't chew through battery life on Android or notifications at all on iOS, then it needs to go through the respective notification services.
We /could/ design ways that this wouldn't be an issue and entirely local push notifications could be a thing. But it's not how your devices work today.
The only difference is the hardware. Intel has their own version that has been in the kernel for a long time. Amd has been struggling with landing the concept.
I've played games that thanks to patching, do not resemble the game I played any-more. TF2 is a good example of that, I can't go back and play the game I played, it doesn't exist any-more.
I think they made a classic mode, but that's just one stage, I want to play the game I played the most which was a few updates in, but before it got silly.
This kind of looks like forum drama rather than something real. Someone on twitter called out the OP saying that their English version of the game looks exactly like their patch for the Japanese version of the game - this is when Op was looking for a few thousand dollars for it.
then op turns around and says it's been mysteriously preserved by secret people and he's signed an NDA about it? the whole thing is just reaking of drama.
it's not illegal to put account deletion behind a login at all. Its also legal for them to request identification.
However if you request data deletion and they have no valid exception to avoid doing that they must comply, it doesn't matter if they have a mechanism for deletion that you can use, they have to still delete the data even if you don't press the "delete account" button.
you can file a complaint with your countries regulatory departments but if they refuse to press the delete account button for you, there's not much else you can do outside of that.
and literally put words in his mouth (words only someone who knows nothing about him would try to relate to him in this context)
you realize i was using those words as an example of something he didn't say right? Specifically, I was pointing out how his message was against defeatism and doomerism by showing how he didn't use those words.
do you not understand this concept? In addition, why are you like this?
We’re moving towards a world where lots of us won’t have viable jobs in these fields. We’ll either find different jobs or need some form of UBI
this is the comment. it's pure 100% doomerism with a "we have to find other jobs" thrown in. this isn't, "we should do this if it comes with UBI".
also don't really appreciate the giant paragraph where you claim MLK is in favour of AI, or would be, that's just weird. don't do that, don't put words in the mouth of dead people. You can make arguments without that.
no, people left cable because cable was /expensive/ it wasn't crap. netflix was just cable content all in one place and cheaper. Then it switched to netflix produced content and they have struggled. as evidenced by everyone wishing it was like the old days.
Every six months, there are new switches. 2 rumors that switch 2 is six months away. This is the way it always is, and new rumors mean nothing. There's been new rumors constantly for years now.
No, netflix did. Let's not be silly. Cable succeeded by itself for decades then netflix came along and said have everything for ten bucks a month. Everyone switched. Cable started its death ride its been on since.
But netflix could only offer everything for ten bucks a month because Cable customers were the ones paying for that content to be made.
The massive selection existed because cable users paid for it. The big companies made content based on cable customers. Then licensed to netflix for extra profit just like they licensed to other countries' broadcasters for extra profit.
Then netflix killed the cable income, so it wasn't profitable to make these shows, netflix wouldn't pay the cost of licensing these shows for the actual cost so the licenses dropped and everyone had to make their own service's.
Rather, it's netflix that is finding out that it's difficult to make good shows, they lived on licencing other people's shows, paid for by cable, then when they killed that money source they are struggling to produce good enough content to make their service worth it.
The quality of duolingo has gone down massively in the past few years as they have done lay-offs, they don't even have anyone checking the feedback coming from users any-more.
the courses themselves are worse too, designed more to stretch out app usage rather than teach more. I used to recommend duolingo as a good starter on learning a language, but it's just so bad now that I won't. And it seems to be a direct result of layoffs.
No. It was a massive flop. well received by players and critics alike, but a massive flop. 'Seventh best selling game in one region for five seconds' for a game like that is really really bad.
It's a good game. It flopped so hard it made squarenix decide to get out of the western style market entirely, selling off the entire western arm of the company for a super low price just to be done with it, It was disastrous
