If valve loses this, they will clamp down on their features.
Because why would they provide infrastructure for free when the developer sells keys for less somewhere else?
If you expect them to provide storefront, infrastructure and community integration for free, I don’t think they will.
I thought billionaires are like über businessmen. How comes he cannot handle some competition?
Maybe I’m wrong, but the rule sounds fine:
In any case phones are going to last longer. The ones with replaceable batteries because you can replace the battery. And the ones with sealed batteries, because they have to compete with the replaceable ones.
It is. All games have this kind of server side verification which denies not allowed actions. The difference is in Minecraft it comes down to “no, you cannot fly, or” no, you cannot build a pig spawner because you don’t have one in you inventory". But in Counter Strike you need to decide if one player’s 14ms headsbot is legit, while some other player’s 20ms kill was not. Or if someone was acting on information they shouldn’t have (radar and wall hacks). That’s orders of magnitudes harder.
Generally speaking, the slower a game, and the less hand eye coordination are necessary, the easier is server side cheat detection. On the other side, there’s chess…
But they haven’t so far, and the question was why it’s popular at this moment.
Possible future enshittification disqualifies all software, unless you prevent it from going online - which you can also do with Unraid.
I genuinely thought it’s not limited, but yes, the trial.
Decent UI. Affordable lifetime pricing. Actually just-works. No retrospective enshittification. Free trial is actually free, not ad supported.
You get what you pay for, and you’re not the product.
People who know programming already, yes. People who are getting into it / want to get into it, see it as an amazing shortcut.
I had two working students already, who thought and communicated that they don’t really need to learn programming, because they can do it with ChatGPT / Q. It was quite infuriating.
French electricity leaves the chat in summer when their plants need to be shut down because the rivers are too warm or don’t carry enough water in the first place. And that’s nothing to say what they will do in the next decade years when a good portion of their reactors should be commissioned out.
Scalability is not viability.
My impression came from headlines like this:
Tech moguls Altman, Bezos and Zuckerberg donate to Trump’s inauguration fund
I didn’t follow these donation news too closely, but from the headlines it always sounded like they do it personally!? Maybe Trump makes a point out of it that it comes from them personally? Would make them personally attached to him.
“Accidentally” is the new “through incompetence”
Exactly, enterprise world. Letsencrypt doesn’t aim for that.
Which of them is free?
The container can both stand directly in front of me, and the system can still claim that it’s waiting for loading in Malaysia.
The claim to have “nothing to hide” was not just born our of ignorance, but also out of comfort - to not having to do anything about it.
Now that even the last one accepted that they do indeed have something to hide, but in order to justify their own inaction, it’s labeled as inevitable: privacy is not real.
They are lying to themselves, because doing otherwise would mean they have to admit being wrong.
A hundred euro is quite a difference. Didn’t expect it to be that much, tbh.
The only consolation is that, with the discounter sets, you will get something that has been tried and tested and everything is according to the relevant technical standards. Should be, anyway.
Any of the Discounters, really. ALDI, Lidl, Netto, etc have regular offers in their online shops.
If it’s in the code, it’s a bug. If it’s not used, then remove it entirely. Everything in the code should be treated as operational.
