I don’t think there’s an industry on earth where it’s normal for the low-level workers to be paid directly when the customer buys something. It being filtered through a bunch of business stuff is the norm everywhere I’m afraid.
- Comment on Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitles 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but do you think they’d buy the shows from those production committees and other organizations if people weren’t interested in paying subscriptions to watch them? That’s like saying Bandai doesn’t get money when I buy gunpla from a store like usagunplastore just because usagunplastore already bought the gunpla from Bandai months ago and Bandai isn’t getting more money from that particular purchase.
Animators being horribly underpaid is a different topic entirely.
- Comment on Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitles 2 weeks ago:
That’s without even discussing the fact that not a single penny users give them will end up in the hands of any of the exploited artists who actually made the shows
That’s quite the assertion. How exactly do you suggest they’re buying the rights to distribute the shows then?
- Comment on Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitles 2 weeks ago:
given that there are still plenty of passionate fans who would have done it for free
I’d imagine this is a non-starter from a corporate standpoint. I know if I were in charge I’d be terrified of the idea of just trusting community-submitted subtitles to not have random slurs or something inserted. That said I still think it would be super cool if they’d let people source and use their own subtitle files; I now it’s possible because I have a tampermonkey script that lets me do just that.
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 4 weeks ago:
With how many things I log into on my phone I think I’d rather have no phone at all than one that’s too old to receive security updates.

It’s not simply “some strange reason”. There will be a lot of press coverage when they release a desktop version so naturally they want it to be as good an experience as possible. They may not ever get another chance for that kind of coverage after all, and they wouldn’t want SteamOS’s reputation to be damaged (again) because it wasn’t good enough for most people to use (again).

Steam input doesn’t work with joysticks, lol.
- Comment on Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year 2 months ago:
Lol, I’d be surprised if they could do either of those things, let alone both. I know Bazzite can’t; I have it on my laptop and that shit can’t even update itself properly.

Really? Which distro has a button I can press to open a menu to change the power budget on my Ryzen 5 5600? Which distro has everything configured for me to be able to use my VKB joysticks without needing to mess with the registry in the proton prefixes of Windows games?
- Comment on Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year 2 months ago:
There is no distro that supports arbitrary hardware as well as SteamOS supports the Steam Deck.
- Comment on Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year 2 months ago:
It’s not as simple as just releasing something. They need to develop it first, and making it a good experience with hardware is actually pretty hard.
- Comment on Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year 2 months ago:
I read this as “SteamOS is bad because of reason I personally don’t like that many people don’t understand, so do more research about Linux”
It’s easy to dismiss this as something that won’t ever matter to you, but this is something that can cause problems in all sorts of ways even for gamers. The first thing that came to mind is not being able to install custom drivers to support weird hardware, like a racing wheel or something.
- Comment on Synergy (in early access), a post apocalyptic town builder with a beautiful art style inspired by moebius, releases their 0.3 update with a new map, new items and QoL improvements 9 months ago:
I played the demo of this game during Next Fest. It had stunning visuals, but the gameplay didn’t really grab me.
- Comment on How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase? 10 months ago:
Their support sucks though. I had one of their controllers die on me after only 8 months of moderate use and after a way-too-long back and forth they demanded $15 to send me a new controller. Eventually we settled on $5, which is still $5 more than it should have been.

Okay, but what are the profits? That’s what actually matters here.

Share the source next time. It’s just common decency.

This really sucks; it’s not good for the human body to be in microgravity for that long.
