As annoying as this is, it’s not really the radio station’s fault. Broadcast licenses for songs are cartoonishly expensive, so most stations can only afford to hold so many at a time.
So like most problems in the music industry, it’s due to the greed of the record companies.
Here's the perspective that helped me the most with this:
You don't have to quit meat (sorry for the pun) cold turkey.
Even cutting your meat consumption by half can have a significant impact. Start by ordering a vegetarian option instead of meat every once in a while. Experiment and find veggie alternatives you actually like, there are tons of options now. I heard someone refer to this as "microdosing veganism", and it can really help make the change less exhausting.
Over time, you might even notice your tastes start to shift and vegan options become actually enjoyable instead of a "sacrifice".
Generational categories aren’t real. They’re arbitrary lines made up for listicals and inflammatory content. There is every type of person in every generation, and most trends are more due to the natural progression of age than generation drift.
Comparing generations is only useful when evaluating the context in which they live(d).
It doesn’t go without saying. I disagree about physical media. It’s one of the few ways to guarantee you actually own the thing you bought. People still buy brand new vinyl.
Technology rarely disappears completely, but it does usually fades into hobbyist and collector territory.
To answer the question, I don’t think SMS will be around much longer. It has many problems and is already being replaced by many different standards that are better in every way.
The Witcher. I really want to like it. It seems like the kind of game I would love and I recognize that it’s an objectively well made game. However, I’ve bounced off it at least 4 times after getting 1-4 hours in.
This is the correct answer. The last step in shutting down servers should be to release a server binary for people to continue using.
Source code would be even better, but we’ll take what we can get. I imagine a lot of code might be re-used for later games, so they may not be keen on open-sourcing it.
Do these people exist? Is it just one troll, or a significant enough of a population to even give the slightest bit of thought?
