Yeah… I’m still waiting on the orange one to face some consequences…

I wonder if he would have complied with the court order if the Brazil government hadn’t done this, if so then yeah, I guess that’s not shitty.

My gut says he would have started drama regardless.

Software being free and devs getting paid are separate things. Software could be something that just costs money to make but free to use, like country infrastructure.

If I made a script and you copied it, I didn’t lose anything, the GDP of the entire world just went up cause now you have my tool as well.

I’m a dev btw

I would argue it’s more like multiplayer games are just much more profitable instead of not being able to turn a profit as well on single player games. And it is very easy to prove that some multiplayer games are cash cows.

That’s the thing about capitalism though, it’s not about choosing something profitable, it’s choosing the max profit option.

Thankfully there are enough passionate people and good companies that a savvy gamer can find ways plenty of single player games.

What was minix then? A non FOSS version?

I’m OOTL, what’s the backstory here?

Dude, where have you been? Look how little good single player games rockstar is putting out.

It’s just harder and less profitable.

I rather have one great red dead 2 than 5 forgettable ones; looking at your assassins creed, used to be one of my favourites and I haven’t played anything after black flag.

If I ever get VR stuff, I would want to play Alyx but if they had 5 okayish games instead, it would be a nope from me.

I still haven’t even played black mesa even though i bought it, I like fewer but better choices especially since I’m more busy in this stage of life.

And it’s gonna continue until regulations recognize how these games are psychologically terrible for kids and have gambling mechanics.

Single player games are less and less profitable these days. What the original commenter could have said is, these days, there isn’t much money to be made telling a story when fortnight makes so much money by doing nothing but cosmetics.

Just tried it and it didn’t work for me:

Could be a version issue

Voyager gang!

Really? I think it’s the opposite.

Lots of good content (possibly more improvements in shows than movies) and yet the theatres are shit. Expensive, bad projector quality, sticky floors and no arm rest room (got to share that).

All while my home theatre has improved to a whole new level.

That’s why a format like lemmy is the only way. No desire for profit means we let the content do what it does organically.

But all those are poor people who got rich via crime since they didn’t really have other avenues.

The Batman lore has a lot of hidden messages about social class and hierarchy which doesn’t translate well to today.

Please note that I semi like bill gates as I agree with you, he is one of the better ones.

But having said that, there is no such thing as a good billionaire. My comment was more about how all their actions are for self benefit.

I believe he has stake in Pfizer hence his stance in this post.

isn’t his goal to rid the world of preventable diseases?

Only if he can get the credit.

half of the industry hasn’t worked out how to test database backups regularly

Wait your suppose to do that? I mean, don’t get me wrong, that makes sense, but so far 0% of the companies I’ve worked for do that.

Oh yeah for sure. Anything I type here is for the whole world to see and I’m okay with that as long as it’s anonymous.

There has been instances before where LLMs gave up clues as to what source it used. When that happens, they can be sued.

Im okay with people using our data for whatever, since it’s all open and it should be. But I rather put a little bit of effort to make for profit use technically illegal. It’s better than nothing.

Genuine question, do instances not have a GPL license on their content? With that license, anyone can use all the data but only for open source software.
