I feel you. three years ago I was hoping for an update to that after the steamdeck. but now I don’t see it as achievable to get.

Many stores the producers bring their things in. It was not uncommon to get stuff from them to put up but the store itself generally did not make it. They just put up what they get. I don’t know what universe you live in but that is how mine has in meat space where you are making the comaparison. Promotions were usually more and bigger for the big guys. the guy who sold his homemade stuff maybe had a bit of space by the register.

im surprised they do promotion for free honestly but I doubt it would have much of an effect but not being so accessible to indie would make them look a lot better for articles like this.

its indicative of accessibility for startups. the way a company would change the metric is not gatekeep the smallfry.
- Comment on A pattern of negative posts about the BBC 4 hours ago:
Look. I like BBC. Many of my friends like BBC. But BBC is not for everyone. Not everyone is as open to it. Thats not a bad thing as long as they allow the rest of us to enjoy BBC.

Is this presented as a bad thing?

yeah and that is the case for 99% of gamers. using the llm is vs just finding something rando or whatever and folks want it to look like they want it.

I have done it. you quickly get something with the exact features you want. its one of its better uses. If I had the money and a long going campaign going I would have an artist do it up right though.
- Comment on Mozilla’s CTO thinks AI should be built like the internet 1 day ago:
I mean as a browser im moving away from firefox but I may end up using it as a standalone local llm. I would still like a gpl os flavor built around locall llm. something that is very limited on installation but with options to expand capability. Essentially something like a start trek computer.
- Comment on Does the USA have gifted schools or was Spider-Man Homecoming lying? 1 day ago:
Locally my school system had what they called accelerated courses which were called AP at the senior level where you took an AP exam to get college credit. There were also L classes that were the opposite. So based on your grades and test scoring you had the choice of 3 classes but one was the simple class, one was the typical, and one was advanced. In some cases like math it would go further as you could have an senior in the freshman L class lets say. Our state had a special math and science academy that did not do grade level 9 and to get into it you had to be recommended by a teacher and apply. It was a boarding school downstate. I know it because I was recommended but did not get in. I may have never finished the application. They did not give you all that much time.

in high school a massive stoner burn out guy excidely came to us saying he found the sickest song on the jute box. it was hey jude. he apparently saw hey dude in his head.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
ah. yeah. that happens. I put a long explanation edit to a small comment when I realized it was being taken differently than it was in my head. internets just like that. its hard to get a feel especially when we are all bouncing around.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
why? sounds like you did your part. if you had not given any more context then yeah its expected to get that but if you did then its on them to read the post. its understandable someone does not go off to another website but if the info is where they are hanging out then its on them.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
did you post more than a title and link?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
yeah. I do find they don’t put much into misinformation. I think its because all they need is the headline since most people do not read much more.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
again I find your takes over the top for the comment your replying to.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
Thats a bit harsh. You see that in some other comments but they just did not present it very well. It has some relevance.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
or people with stories and maybe pictures sought out reporters/newspapers
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
wow. just wow. I mean even though they did not know what was going on there they had to know it was going to be bad. to volunteer for that. and then how it goes on for him after the war. thank you for that read.
- Comment on google's getting pissy about using their shit while logged out 1 day ago:
yeah it was awhile back where my tablet would lose the directions thing with google maps once I was off wifie that drove me to organic maps.
- Comment on Is it just the norm now-a-days for grocery stores to have lots of stuff on the shelves that's past the best-by date? 3 days ago:
Products in general food and othewise have been worse i the last year or two in my and my wifes perspective since we talk about it grabbing a piece of produce or whatnot and going over to each other like WTF!
- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 3 days ago:
I mean what degree would be better. Obviously if you can hack it medicine is great. law is not btw. its about as good as any degree and most every program has logic requirements which is a nice thing to have. Personally I do think a liberal arts degree is good to broaden your knowledge base. Really the problem is not cs degrees being bad its that bachelors degrees are not all that useful in general any more. Higher cost with less prospects.

- Comment on People who piss on the toilet seat in a men's restroom. 4 days ago:
yeah thats kinda wierd. maybe they are shy although then I can’t imagine what they do at a ballpark.
- Comment on People who piss on the toilet seat in a men's restroom. 4 days ago:
For using the stalls to pee sometimes the urinals are full. As to why I know my wife says im one of the few men who don’t leave piss on the toilet. So apparently its common. Not talking just the seat here but the bowl when the seat is up. Like the bowl rim that is parralellel to the floor so it will just sit there and be all. ewwww.
- Comment on How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy? 4 days ago:
I do repeat myself. I will do it for awhile and usually this goes into a. Well we have fundamental differences of opinions and we are not going to go anywhere with it. You see much of our conversations and arguments have some fundamental things that the arguer has as postulates. Often times someone can not accept an argument because at its core is a postulate that they do not agree with.

both is kinda hard to deal with. You sorta need places to meet people in real space. I have never been anywhere though were there were not places to go.
- Comment on is it weird to have your own religious beliefs system 6 days ago:
Its honestly really common. Most people sorta mostly believe in their religion and sorta pick and choose whats important to them about it and often grab add ons they come across. A heavily catholic hispanic area I lived in had these psychics who would integrate catholic saints into their thing and make it semi religious and plenty of religious catholics took it in as a thing.
