I have this preference as well but it’s not too important for me. I care mainly about the price and if I can actually own the game. So if I pay 50% more I don’t buy on GOG but 10% 20 sure. Otherwise it’s just wherever I can get the cheapest.

I have never understood why Epic did not make a decent store. They can absolutely compete if they actually tried. They have close to zero things going for them in terms of user experience or price. Quite the opposite.
A lot if people, myself included mainly care about price and drm. So Steam is not something I care about, just price or GOG.
Epic has a negative UX in terms of their store. GreenManGaming, Fanatical etc, has vastly better stores. Why is Epic wasting enormous amounts of money on giveaways, when most people see no reason to buy from them?? I prefer not using their store, not because Steam is better, but because Epic truly sucks.

What? Do people have very racist billboards? Like seriously, at their lawns and stuff? Is it common? I am from Norway, so I have never seen anything like that

- Comment on Why are dads like this? 5 weeks ago:
As a dad of a newborn, they are not really that fragile. When changing their diapers I just use one hand to hold one leg to lift up. I asked a doctor about this, and he said it’s no problem She does not care, she has a fun time with me switching diapers. Can’t do it when shes older though.
Just protect their necks and head, besides that they are robust.

I did not watch the entire thing, but hybrids allowing the use of a more efficient motor was cool. Compensating for it’s disadvantages with an electric motor 🤯
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 2 months ago:
Read about cultural capital. The rich are nonchalant towards things that others have to adopt or learn. They are “naturally” adapted to it. Which means that they haven’t learned french, they absorbed it by living in France for some years. So they act as if it is nothing, it is just something they just do and know. They can easily spot someone who is striving to be one of them.

- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 6 months ago:
If they can trace it, why would they need the code to do it? They know who you are already
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 6 months ago:
Yes. There are many solutions.
Maybe the absolutely easiest to implement is just a signed message from an authority (gov.). You click a button on the website that requires verification, get a new tab to a gov. site with no identifiers from the site redirecting you and get a message you copy. The copied message is then pasted in to the site requiring verification. The site can then verify the message at their servers.

- Comment on If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases? 9 months ago:
I paid for several, to test features and see if there is value. There is little value in paying, close to zero. The difference between the best models and the best free ones are miniscule. We are hitting a plateau now, with diminishing returns. Talking with AI is a nice UX feature, and is mostly paid, but Qwen has this for free.
Images and video generation is not useful. Coding is slightly useful in very specific cases, but mostly useless. It gives a false sense of fast progress. In the long term it harms productivity. So it works for simple proof of concepts and inspiration/exploring solutions. If you are a junior in a language or software development, avoid it. Otherwise the road to becoming a senior will be long and hard.
The most useful cases is “creativity”, exploring ideas, and inspiration. And getting started with something where you don’t know where to begin. If I want to know something about a topic, I find it as a useful and untrustworthy starting point, nothing can be trusted from AI, but it can introduce you to subjects so that you know what to look for. It is useful for exploring ideas and brainstorming.
So don’t pay, just use the free ones. There is low value in paying. If you have a PC with a mid/high end GPU you can install Jan.ai for free and use models locally also.
I currently use Mistral and Qwen mostly. I still have a subscription to Mistral, and am waiting for it to run out.
