Maybe I am just an old nostalgic fart but I have games that I own that are over 30 years old that I still have access to and regularly play and that’s how I like it.

I personally don’t at all see any benefit to the consumer that subscription based gaming provides. Arguably you can access more games for less money, but if video streaming is anything to go by (increased prices, less content across more and more services, ads creeping back in etc), that value proposition won’t last long.

I don’t think there are that many bots here because of [reason 1], [reason 2], and [reason 3].

And I for one am certainly not a “goes against OpenAI use policy".

This is similar to the allergy I have to layer below the earth’s crust…

Lots of good and relevant reading here:

It’s actually a fairly common thing in Australia - otherwise known as a spaghetti jaffle (jaffle is a type of toastie for the uninitiated) - and they are AWESOME!

I don’t know if I am right but I am of the opinion that Cybersecurity should be considered a mastery branch on top of basic engineering skills. But it feels like there are so many Cybersecurity experts who do not understand enough about the underlying engineering concepts to be effective in their role.

Ha, I was going to say she sounds too smart for him!

As always, appreciate both the transparency and the hard work and effort to make sure you are doing what is best for the community even if it isn’t always easy! ♥️

“Don’t cry, you can run bash on Windows 10 now”… pure awesomeness! Haha

I find it hilarious that you think people who use health trackers “need” them to get fit, rather than being a source of personal data that helps improve how you manage your diet and exercise.

You could pretty much reduce any use of modern software to that kind of comment. E.g. I find it halarious that people need spellcheck to write things correctly.

This is again just asking which movie you prefer, with extra steps!

This seems oddly specific for Maslow.

I don’t know if it is lazy as much as it is a design choice - remember at one point Lemmy actually auto updated (which meant posts were pushed down while you were browsing) and it was an intentional design.

A lot of people posting that the threat of theft or interference will put a halt to drone delivery, but I wonder if that will really be a problem when looking at the the return on investment. A lot of people have said similar things about self service checkouts but industry keeps pushing on.

The cost of drone delivery will shrink dramatically over time (labour and energy being the two big ones) especially if you compare it to equivalent service levels (e.g. same day delivery) so much so that companies would likely easily absorb the costs - if it all works of course.
