Trading off quality for money.
- Comment on Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI 4 days ago:
The problem is not that Ai could replace humans; the problem is that executives think they can.
- Comment on Marathon | Gameplay Overview Trailer [YouTube, 5:03 min] 3 weeks ago:
Don’t make yourself (and others) false hope, it will not happen. Why? In the past Bungie officially said they don’t want support Linux. This company is quiet hostile towards Linux for whatever reason. That’s why I don’t have any hope for this game to be playable on the Deck (or in Linux general for that matter).
Sure things can change sometimes, but I would not hope on this based on speculation. Not being the party pooper here, just trying to be realistic based on history.

You can bet it will have micro transactions like a free to play game, but with an additional premium full price on top of it.

- Comment on But what if I really want a faster horse? 3 weeks ago:
Better is relative. Also its unfair to compare one species (car) against many possible specialized species (cars). In example you don’t need to repair an expensive car, you don’t need electricity or oil and fuel (and many other stuff). Depending on where you are in the world, a horse might be “better” suited than a car.

The guy who wrote the article watches too much porn. The more you watch and see and experience something, the more you will see it everywhere.

Yeah, the one with the lawsuits involved and blocking plugins and such. Search for Mullenweg.

Tumblr is owned by Automattic.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 4 weeks ago:
Using this technology for preservation sake is just absurd.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 4 weeks ago:
That’s the Copy-Paste media of today for you. Ironically its probably analyzed, write supported or maybe even completely written by Ai itself.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 4 weeks ago:
While I agree with you and while I am not the biggest generative Ai fan, we have to admit this is still in early phase and is just a proof of concept what the technology is capable of. The version of this game might not be as good as the original (and that’s only mildly said), that this is possible like this with artificial intelligence tools is impressive.
Its like teaching an ape to program Quake 2. Even if its a shitty version of it, it would be ground breaking.
- Comment on Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 5 weeks ago:
What do you mean by retroactively? Like deleting remotely from your system, without your permission or decision? Something what Google did with Android before too.
- Comment on Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people” 5 weeks ago:
I disagree. Copyright is not bad.

What a dumb statement. Copyright has nothing to do with money. Copyright is for everyone.

The biggest problem with Ai is copyright.

That’s unknown information to us.

I saw some permaban which does state its permanently deactivated, and not banned for a time limit.
- Comment on Marvel Rivals cheater banned for 100 years 1 month ago:
That’s the 8 man (not sure about how many, but I think it was less than 10) helper team in the US which got laid off. They were only contracted and this is actually normal in the industry. Those articles are sensational. The main team in China is unaffected by this.

- Comment on Mozilla says its new Firefox terms don’t give it ownership of your data 2 months ago:
I also bookmarked the Librewolf Flatpak package. I consider to change my browser (Firefox) for the first time in 20 years or so, since its inception. I do not rely on the Mozilla account, so the switch should be easier for me. Passwords should be compatible I assume. In worst case you can export and import passwords.
- Comment on Mozilla says its new Firefox terms don’t give it ownership of your data 2 months ago:
They do not get ownership, but a license to do what they want with it. Giving a license does not change ownership, yes they are correct with this.
- Comment on Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming history 2 months ago:
If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.
Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

A list of several boxarts for Suikoden: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/…/boxes
The PAL version uses the original art from Japanese release. I think it even improves on it by having a white background, which looks more classy to me: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/…/10236
- Comment on Marvel Rivals Director Shares That He And His Team Were Just Laid Off 2 months ago:
How many were laid off? Did they hire another people maybe? I would be careful with premature conclusions based on this single event. It would be hilarious if those laid off people go to work on Overwatch…
