Piracy ends when content is offered in a convenient fashion. It's always been this simple and always will be. Naturally, rich and out of touch people want to believe that more authoritarianism is the solution, because they got rich through their contempt for humanity, so why should this be any different?

Sollte das Ei-Eh nicht eher Eh-Ei sein? Oder ist der Witz dass das auch noch falsch rum gesagt wird?

Well, while we are being 'that guy', factoid is one of those words which has changed its meaning by being used wrongly for so long that the original meaning has all but vanished.

A factoid is technically supposed to be something resembling fact, but not actual fact. (The Greek suffix '-oid' normally being used for that purpose, like in paranoid, "like knowledge" or asteroid, "like a star").

The best thing about factoid, is that factoid is now a factoid. Because it resembles what it is not lol...

Anyway, nowadays, you are allowed to use it the way you did, at least in the descriptivist world view. The prescriptivists may disagree, however. And those people are often 'that guy' ;)

Rural UK here. Tiny country in comparison to the US. Our village has no mobile signal. Our landline internet maxes out at 1mbit up and 10mbit down. We are 3miles from a town with 15k people. Why is there no infrastructure? I’m completely dependent on Starlink.

Who is it?

Be interesting to see just how much these are basically AI accelerators in disguise, which accidentally do gaming too.

Expecting a 5090 that’s even more expensive than the 4090 and still sold out for 6 months.

As a laptop user it would be nice to go from 8GB vram in my 3070ti to something like 16gb, but I wonder what insane power requirements even the mobile parts will have.

Fully agree.

I have played countless hours of this. Even against AI, this game is great fun. It's mind-blowing to think it's free.

It seems like it would be a self fulfilling prophecy, you are right.

At the same time, having lived in London for 10 years... This is from today: https://red.artemislena.eu/r/london/comments/1fprfcy/i_cant_even_take_the_bus_in_peace_due_to_sexual/

The argument that more people taking public transport would somehow fix this makes no sense in a place like London. It’s a gigantic city with public transport permanently bursting at the seams.

A bus through a dodgy area at midnight won’t feel safe unless it’s policed somehow. I don’t know where the resources for that could possibly come from.

Any VPN instantly solves this problem though?

Just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly: Faster than the speed of light, within the medium, right? So the neutrinos are a bit like Cherenkov radiation. But not actually faster than the speed of light, since if that was happening, my world view was just revised rather abruptly :)

Thank you!

I couldn't agree more. Living in the UK I can tell you this is a dangerous opinion to hold. To me, their music is like nails on a chalk board. I cannot stand their music. I could never quite explain why. I've always just put it down to taste. But it's annoying to have to deal with just how much EVERYONE loves them for some reason. Like, there isn't much music I'd hate to hear more than Queen. I almost find it weird that this is the case. I sort of wish I liked them, so that there weren't so many occasions where I have to listen to music that I find shockingly bad.

I’m already using a mobile workstation type thing with 1h battery at most. That’s the unfortunate reality of mobile CGI / CAD work. I’d still be interested, as I have no alternatives.

Good point!

I like this

I’m with you on this one, not sure why you’re being downvoted. Until public transport is safe, which it has never been in my experience (as a lifelong public transport user in many countries), I’ll walk or cycle. Or, well, now I live rurally so there’s no public transport, and I’m reluctantly driving everywhere.

Thank you, I'll add some seedbox power to this torrent.

Public transport in London was probably the worst. Case in point: https://red.artemislena.eu/r/london/comments/1fprfcy/i_cant_even_take_the_bus_in_peace_due_to_sexual/

Thank you for confirming :)
