I mean, it doesn't work for the games with kernel level anti-cheat, but that's an active decision on the part of those developers to not allow a growing market to play their games.

Wow. I expected the hype to falter and the price to collapse, but even I didn't expect it to happen this quickly. I thought it would take another few months at least.

Harry Potter, even ignoring how much of a piece of shit the author is the books just aren't particularly well thought out.

You know what yeah, that's fair. There are people that enjoy cars for their own sake. Frankly though, those are the kinds of people I would hope sympathize with the Fuck Cars philosophy the most, as the goal behind the sentiment is (usually) not that cars should no longer exist outright, but that instead infrastructure changes should be made so that not literally everyone needs to drive to live. Changes like replacing on street parking with protected bike lanes, investing in robust public transit networks, and replacing massive parking lots with actually functional construction. You know, changes that get people out of their cars while still reaching the places they need to go, which in turn reduces traffic for emergency services and the people that decide they want to drive anyway.

I prefer to call them anarcho-capitalists, the actual worst political philosophy out there in terms of long term consequences.

First, I absolutely see people in wheelchairs on the light rail where I live, that's mostly a problem for cities where the rail system predates the ADA. Second, I'm very much not forgetting those people, partly because less traffic helps them as much as any driver, and even more because it's simply naive to imagine that the majority of people with disabilities are able to drive but not able to take a bus or train.

I have yet to see someone that doesn't hate everyone else's car, at least during traffic, meaning every driver either also hates their own car as well or they are a hypocrite.

Call it the Department of Failure.

I never said it was a self-consistent philosophy, in fact that's a large part of why it's so awful.

"Common sense" is rarely all that common.

For the record, I was able to uninstall it from my phone.

Never mind, I just checked the pull up menu and didn't see it so I just assumed it was uninstalled, but no it's just stopped.

Frankly I was under the impression they weren't invited, completely justifiably.

You're preaching to very much the wrong choir there.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

Every cent made is a fine I want to see more of. Anything less is going to be seen as just the cost of doing business and the behavior will continue.

Cool, I don't believe them.

The marketing and advertising and sales teams took over management from the engineering team, and decided to cut all the corners. It's a classic tale at this point, same thing happened to Boeing and Apple and Google and etc. It's why everything sucks nowadays.

Cool, now how much power was consumed before even a single prompt was ran in training that model, and how much power is consumed on an ongoing basis adding new data to those AI models even without user prompts. Also how much power was consumed with each query before AI was shoved down our throats, and how many prompts does an average user make per day?

To be fair, people stopped after starting a witch hunt for the Boston bombers and identifying the completely wrong people. It may very well be the case that they over corrected, but there is at least a good reason for the change overall. (also corporate interests I suppose, fuck them though)
