- Comment on 10 to 100 Times Faster than a Starlink Antenna, and Cheaper Than Fiber: Taara Unveils a Laser Internet That Could Shatter the Status Quo 1 day ago:
Similar “free-space optics” systems have been tested since the late 1990s, but past attempts were limited by weather conditions and fragile alignment systems. Taara claims its devices overcome many of those limitations with improved beam tracking and more resilient design.
They claim they’ve overcome that hurdle though, as per the article.

You sure are spending plenty of attention on defending that you don’t have attention to spend on this. We all vote with our wallets. There’s no opting out.
- Comment on Adobe to automatically move subscribers to pricier, AI-focused tier in June 1 week ago:
While I was studying 25 years ago every student had bought an education version of Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 at the local shop, which was less than a 100$. In the meanwhile everybody was sharing a cracked copy of Adobe Photoshop since the only license available was upwards of 600$. They absolutely did that to themselves.

So I’m guessing this was before actual ears were invented, and all you got was a couple dumb tiny holes to pick up the noise?
- Comment on GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead 3 weeks ago:
I understand how you’d extend reproach to the employees of a bad business. I don’t feel it personally though. Solidarity for all workforce trumps it in my heart. Maybe it’s my family ties with active union members.
In gamedev particularly, a lot of creators get in there mainly because of their passion for the medium. Then they get chewed up by shit work conditions. Ultimately dream job type positions are especially vulnerable to abusive management.

Oh no! Venture capital has moved to AI! (Anyways.) The article goes on to talk about humongous corporations making dubious decisions and toppling over themselves. Are we supposed to lament Ubisoft’s demise now?
Expedition 33 just came out of nowhere to great acclaim. Valve is hosting a thriving market & slowly but surely freeing PC gaming from Microsoft’s grip. SILK SONG IS DUE THIS YEAR MY FRIENDS. Everyone’s wishlist is as long as their backlog. The bar to entry for development has never been lower. Video gaming is an established medium at this point. A handful of corporative giants infected with a rotten management culture matters little. What essentially matters to me is for the creators out of a job to find new footing.
- Comment on 100,000 People Are Using a Telegram Bot That Makes AI Cumshot Videos of Anyone 3 weeks ago:
Remember this thread is about a bot commodifying the production of cumshot videos from any person’s photo. I fail to see any nuance here. There is only one use: generating porn featuring people that don’t want to. Decency rules continues to apply to general use tools as it always did.

Generating nonconsensual sexual videos is not something you think, it’s something you do.

(A few days ago I skimmed a super cool post about Steam’s relationship with Linux that says what you’re saying and now I want to give it a thorough read but I can’t find it bee sob emoji. If anyone remembers and has a link to it I’d be super happy bee laugh sweat emoji)
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 13th 1 month ago:
I’m playing Cassette Beasts lately too! It’s such a good monster collector. The low poly 3D+2D aesthetic is on point and it’s real cozy. They don’t hide their Pokémon inspiration but they do their own thing with it and I really like their take. It feels both kinder and more stimulating. I love that basically all battles are doubles.

- Comment on OpenAI's viral Studio Ghibli moment highlights AI copyright concerns 1 month ago:
I’d like to add that machine learning is not learning, just like a network firewall is not a wall and doesn’t protect against fire. Lending the same legitimacy to machine learning than to true learning is an equivocation, a fallacy.

- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 2 months ago:
Me and my son have a history with Pokemon. It’s a franchise close to our hearts, but we’re both disappointed with everything that happened on the switch. I’ll always remember taking him to the anime convention to battle with the local gym champions. Just watched the Z-A trailer and it’s depressing really. The last entries’ artistic direction is utterly lifeless and the gameplay feels stale, despite the revolving door of gimmicks from gen to gen. I’m still hoping, one day, we get a fucking good Pokemon game though.

Meh, Montreal is full of French expats running away from France’s rigid social ladder and the far right is strengthening all across the old continent. I do hope Europeans aren’t all falling into the trap of thinking they’re all good because some other place is worse.

So where’s that magical place of humane capitalism where everyone truly has equal chance regardless of their social background, and nobody buys items made by slaves in the third world?

Nope, social inequality and class warfare is not just a US thing. Congrats for having rich friends though I guess. Also please stop equating the US with North, Central and South America, thanks

Tons of research say the opposite as well so there’s that.

So just to be clear I’m pulling this out if my ass, but I’m gonna go and say they main trick to be rich is to be born rich. The lack of morality is just a side-effect of your parents being capitalist vampires. Being a psychopath in itself doesn’t give you a business edge.
