Crimson desert. You’ll never finish it.

If you don’t trust Tailscale there’s like 3 different FOSS self-hosted alternatives. Setting one up is actually not that much more complex than setting a reverse proxy and you control the tunnelling network end to end.

Anything but public transit, eh?

These Ax4 game budgets are getting out of hand. If you sell 3 million copies of a $70 game and still don’t break even, someone fucked up in management. No, raising the price is not the answer.

They work but are a pain to get going. They use a C++ third party library that requires a lot of dependencies. I once managed to create a prefix with the required shit installed. But the settings were a crapshot, some installers would work but some others would require changes or replacements to libraries. Then moving and managing the installation was too much manual labor. It was annoying so I dropped the project.

Your country is lying to you. No surprise there, as all governments lie. There are plants specialized in recycling only the caps. For certain regulatory markets, the caps are easier to recycle than the bottles. As with anything, it’s all about what infrastructure is in place, and how well it meshes with already existing manufacturing. You do what is best suited to your local waste management. But be aware that it is by no means global or a universal (chemical or otherwise) limitation. Governments need to regulate both sides to make recycling viable.

Enshittification strategies only work if the product actually produces revenue and it grows along with market share. Unfortunately, even if market use grows, revenue from AI is not there. Even YouTube crossed the break even boundary before the start of ad enshittification and after the Google buyout. LLMs financial projections are starting to show that it will never reach enough revenue to cover costs, much less cover ROI into infrastructure and capacity. The math isn’t mathing and investors are starting to get cold feet. So they either enshittify now or the capital soon will start vanishing.

For me it’s literally cheaper to pay for cable than buy the sports subscriptions. I don’t watch sports, thus I don’t have cable.

Nothing like the Taken 3 scene of him jumping a fence from 19 different angles, each shown for less than 1 second to hide the fact that Liam Neeson absolutely cannot jump a fence to save his life? I think that was the craziest stunt on the entire trilogy. TIL, in cinematography it is called a “blender cut”. Because it looks like they just put all the clips on blender and stitched them at random.

They still felt the need to make the protagonist a fresh out of school lawyer. It wasn’t that far off.

Launching in a workable state is criminally underated by publishers. A bad game can eventually be patched after launch, sure, but a botched first impression takes decades to switch in the public eye. Look at cyberpunk and witcher games. Beloved after decades of bug fixes, but not everyone has the good will of CD projekt red to burn through. A bad first impression can turn a good if unimaginative game into “that ugly game that was broken at launch” forever. And let’s be real, 90% of a game’s lifetime profit comes during the launch window.

I recognize the complexities involved. But as long at data centers are fueled by a fossil based grid and use clean water for cooling, this amount of paper is not hurting more nor less. OP is fine, if they want to save trees the move is to stop corn and palm oil in products. That’s what is destroying forests.

Before full paperless, a college semester for me was a quarter of a small closet stack of paper. By the time I graduated it was a couple of notebooks and a tiny binder not larger than yours. Paper is super recyclable, paper is not what is killing the rainforest, if that is your concern. A single Google data center kills more and wastes more resource than all the tiny paper stacks of each student combined.

It makes me sad that e-ink is so niche that it will never reach a truly cheap price. Last time I checked it seem to have already achieved its mass production potential. It is so hard to manufacture already, and newer developments just find ways to make fancier screens that are even more expensive and complex to make. The process to make them is already as efficient as it can be.

Wow, that’s a lot of projection on a single comment. I didn’t disagree with any of the comments. And I’m not attacking anyone. Chill down, we are talking about software ffs.

Always remember that the point of this scene is that the guy saying “I don’t think about you at all” is an insecure prick who is constantly anxious of losing his power and status. He thinks about it all the time, this scene is just bravado to keep up a façade of suave indifference, but inside he is spiraling out of control because the other dude took a project away from him. So, this meme doesn’t say what you think it says.

Pangolin then.

There’s only one, well, now two with yours, comments about that. Any negativity is being brought here by you. Sure, people who use jellyfin advocate for it whenever they can. Just like Linux users can be seen as insufferable by windows only people. Or self-host fans can be felt as insufferable by people happy giving their data to google, Microsoft, meta and apple. But then, you fucking missed your turn, this is self-host, what do you think people were going to talk about here?

I didn’t say fallacy. I said sunk cost. I’m not judging. It’s a legitimate sunk cost if it is indeed rationally better to keep using it rather than stopping.

After 22 hours and 291 comments, I can see that 80% is sunk cost, 15% never bothered to look at their Jellyfin client’s settings, and the rest use a device that doesn’t have a client for Jellyfin yet.
