It seems like everyone is forgetting that time exists, and corporations will learn from their mistakes and evolve.
Email was developed, standardized and freely distributed long before the internet became what it is today.
If email were created in this day and age it would look very different and probably fail because of corporate mismanagement (while CEOs take their golden parachutes).
Are you kidding? Lemmy itself is 100% public and easily scrapable. It’s likely easier to get data on users.
How long ago did those things happen, and what makes you think the uber wealthy capitalist owner-class hasn’t learned from their past “shortcomings”?
Why would multi-billion dollar corporations allow things like that to happen to them again?
I don’t think anyone anywhere is claiming 8GB RAM is enough for software and AI development. Pretty sure we’re talking about consumer-grade hardware here. And low-end at that.
Sales of physical copies of games is where consoles truly shine. It’s not as great as a few years ago (getting surplus steelbook games for like $10 sometimes), but you can still regularly pick up AAA games that are a handful of months old for $20 or sometimes less.
Check sites like dekudeals and psprices (steamDB is great too for making sure you’re not being over charged on Steam).
It’s just being a savvy consumer.
But yeah, when it comes to Nintendo hardware, the only reason to have it imo is the first party games, and those will never go on sale so you might as well just pony up. You can do the voucher thing and save $10 on each if you get two games (dunno if that’s still a thing).
They said,
Hamas are not good guys by any stretch
and then you say,
How the hell Hamas are the good guys […]?
Not only a straw man, but you’re literally acting like they made the complete opposite argument. Bad faith, dude. Bad faith.
Not even going to get into the whole, “they pushed Israel for so long that it finally snapped” thing. Just a complete historical revisionism.
Do people actually buy this shit?
Read the sentence before it.
Yeah, can we not?
No worries lol, explains my confusion of you bringing to Stalin lol…
Did you reply to the wrong comment? Because my comment you replied to said nothing about Stalin or Zuckerberg or any of that shit. I literally have no idea what you’re talking about.
“At that age”
Buddy, how old do you think people are when they’re supposed to start checking for prostate cancer?
Who is “us” here? Speak for yourself.
“Really guys, we just want to spend more money than we need to! This won’t stop people from smoking, we just really want to spend more money to design logos, packaging, advertising, etc.”
Come on, dude…
Right. Because it is always about money, and if their sales figures weren’t going to go down, then it seems like they’d end up saving a ton of money by completely cutting out their entire advertising budget. No need to even design a logo.
There’s a word for that, it’s called “casing.”
Obviously not “hacking,” unless they’re locked up by a computer or some shit.
A hacker using software like that to test vulnerabilities seems similar to me in some ways.
Very Cronenberg
There are also (somewhat hidden) “hard modes” where the only indicator that you’re in a different mode is that the badge number next to the uBlock icon changes color.
You can have it block all third party scripts by default for every website, or even go all out and basically use it like noscript. Pretty much breaks every individual website though but you can choose individually what to let through and save it based on domain (I believe) so you really only need to do it once.
I really hope this isn’t shit.
By “original”, I assume they mean Yakuza [Kiwami] 1 not Yakuza 0?
Still happens.
Animal Well was coded by one guy, and it was ~35mb on release (I think it’s above 100 at this point after a few updates, but still). The game is massive and pretty complex. And it’s the size of an SNES ROM.
Dwarf Fortress has to be one of the most complex simulations ever created, developed by two brothers and given out for free for several decades. The game, prior to adding actual graphics, DF was ~100mb and the Steam version is still remarkably compact.
I am consistently amazed by people’s ingenuity with this stuff.
Why would it not be profitable, it’s still user data?
