Nothing, duh! Why do you think nobody has ever tried to reach the center of the earth (as if there was any,the earth is flat!)? They tell you it’s because of the pressure (lies, that is an invented term of the “roundies”), it’s because if someone ever tried, they’d fall into the hell, which is real and is where every other “roundy” goes after they die.
(Just in case: /s)
No, it didn’t. He is a free speech absolutist. For his own speech, not for yours. He bought twitter so he could speak freely.
And the face banquet starts.
Generally, 12ft.io works pretty well for me.
Indie games don’t have shareholders demanding extra-short term profits to please, they can afford to innovate. An AAA game needs to pay the shareholders as fast as possible, and how to do it? Well, the way they do it now; take your cod, or fifa, or whatever AAA ip you want and you’ll see how the patterns repeat in all of them.
AAA games are the fast food of videogaming.
Ideally, it has to be a big publisher that spends a ton of money on it.
In truth, an AAA game can be spotted by a price tag of over 60 €/USD, at least one season pass, 3+ different editions, a huge day-1 patch and a lack of anything that’s not predatory monetization of any remaining gameplay elements.
Doesn’t work for me either. Mail cache empty.
I’ve been diagnosed at the tender age of 36, because my lovely parents didn’t give a fuck about all the signals and the teachers “hints”.
Up until then, it’s been hell, and I’m not exagerating when I say that I don’t know how I made it this far in life. When you are one of the “lucky” ones that only suffer from what is now called “functional” autism (aka there is no cognitive disability), you struggle with most social aspects, you torture yourself thinking you are weird, you hate yourself because it’s obvious (only for yourself) that there is something wrong with you that you can’t understand.
A diagnosis is not a death sentence but an answer to what is happening in your brain to make it work differently. Now, I am starting to get help, I am asking for acomodations that make my life easier and I understand what is happening in my head. And most important, I’m not ashamed anymore when my “weirdness” leaks out because I understand it.
I’d bet money it’s the soccer industry.
They are raising prices obscenely and more people are moving to alternative sources to watch it. Those sources are generally IPTVs and the industry is bleeding subs a an allarming rate because (according to them) piracy. Of course, the fact that in countries like Italy, a soccer sub goes over 60€ a month and can be closer to 100€, is not to blame for the users turning to iptvs…
Only soccer is around 60€ a month (more if you want to watch all the games and not just a selection), so do the math
I’m not native italian so take this with a grain of salt. All the acronyms I’ve heard in italian are pronounced as you would pronounce that word if it was Italian. Weirdly enough, they include a lot of English words (not acronyms) in their daily vocabulary and they pronounce those in English.
TIL. In Italian it’s used as a word (not an acronym) to refer to those devices.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to pay for this kind of service with your personal card. But if you get caught a second time then I can’t have any sympathy for you.
This situation reminds me of that drug dealer (always in italy) that accepted payments for his merch using his own POS (idk the word in English, it’s one of those terminals to accept payments with cards).
They used their personal prepaid card (one registered to their own name and issued by the public postal service) to pay for the iptv sub.
Happy as I am because this shows that there is no crime in watching those streams, I can’t but stand in awe at the sheer stupidity of these guys.
And I’m perfectly fine costing them money, I would pay, were they not enshittifying music streaming and paying peanuts to the artists.
Actually, I might try and find a new patch if they block this one to keep costing them money out of spite.
Still working on my end, but don’t know for how long, if they kill it, it might be the time I pass to tidal or say fuck it and just start using again my old mp3 player app
Looking to degoogle myself too. For the maps, Here we go is a german brand. I know it’s not foss but being german, they have to follow GDPR which, I guess, is better than google anyways.
I was talking today about this with a couple of colleagues.
In my field (industrial programming) there’s a real fear that we’re going to be substituted by AI. And… I think it’s probably going to happen. And it’s going to be reaaaaaally fun: because things will go like this:
one day, my boss will realize that chatgpt can make a program for a machine in 10 minutes instead of 2 weeks. And with zero knowledge about programming, he will fire me.
Then, chatgpt will create his next software for a machine, and he will start making money like crazy because he cut the costs to a fraction and reduced shipping times to almost zero.
And things will go nicely. But one day, the machine that works under the software chatgpt made, will injure or worse, kill a person. And my boss will then learn the hard way that chatgpt can’t be held responsible for that death and him, being the only one left, will be charged for that death.
Soon after that, he will start looking for new positions again, either as “software advisors” who check the code before it’s shipped so he can discharge the responsibility on them, or as programmers to do what they were doing some months ago, but this time, for more money, given the precedents.
