- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 7 hours ago:
If anything Steam showed us thay 60$ game is a stupid idea. Free markets pay what they feel like paying and thats when creators and consumers are the happiest not some fixed random price.

Sony and Xbox is not true capitalism because their consoles are not free markets so of course they dont like capitalism when they benefit from absolute control and can fix the prices for everything in their ecosystem.
- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 7 hours ago:
I like how Americans propaganda themselves - china doesnt even have to anything as Americans will gladly put them on a pedestal to spite themselves.
Crazy how apparent this is on TikTok especially. People with LGTBQ flags are salivating about China while their flags are literally censored there

I literally host like 20 websites for free and here you’re telling me to cry over hosting prices lol
- Comment on Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents 1 day ago:
Youre conflating 2 different issues here.
When it comes to technology of fiber vs low orbit satellites fiber will always win in every circumstance that isn’t a battle field or an ocean. It’s one of those technologies that we really nailed. Combined with cell towers we can tap ourselves on the back and say “yay we solved internet” very convincingly.
There’s literally nothing in current practical physics that can match this latency and bandwidth and cost ration. Just try to do napkin math of how many low orbit satellites we’d need to cover today’s bandwidth and latency requirements and we will literally never need less.
Now whether corruption has a role here sure - but you sure your trusting SpaceX more when its literally on the news right now for bait and switching the pause feature. There’s no basis of thinking that Starlink would somehow be less corrupt. In fact, it seems like hiding corruption here would be much easier for starlink with feature changes and priority lanes than literal “cable is here or cable is not here”.

There are thousands of alternatives to github pages that will host your content for free. Taking your static website to a different host literally takes 5 minutes. At the scale of Github or Netlify your 1gb/mo bandwidth blog website is a rounding error and well worth the potential conversion price. The ignorance in this thread is astounding.

Literally free. So many tech illiterate people in this threat that still think website hosting costs money.
- Comment on Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents 1 day ago:
This is absolute insanity. To think that fiber and satellites are even on the same playing field is absolute brain damage.

I fundamentally disagree with all of your claims. The web was already ruined by SEO farms and I know that cause I worked in organic growth for years, AI is not making this worse.
The traffic argument is non-sensical in 2025. serving 200kb html file costs literally nothing. So if you want to write and share something you can do it without spending a single penny, ever.
I understand the frustration and confusion here but all of this whining is lacking any real vision. Information should be free and accessible to all and the rest can be solved without changing this core principle.
So while you “protect” what you share we all will continue to grow and share information freely and actualy contribute real change not start breaking the looms.

You’re conflating two different issues. The topic is “for whom the web is for?” not banwidth distribution and optimization.
If LLM bot is being abusive then that’s no different from any other user agent behaving like this and we should expand these protections from intentional/unintentional ddos irrelevant of user agent.

overloading from 200kb of html? We’re not in dialup era anymore
- Comment on This website is for humans 2 days ago:
As someone who’s been on the web since the 90s I hate this.
The web was designed to be user agent agnostic. Desktop, phone, fridge, ai agents, curl, python script - whatever agent you are using shouldn’t matter for access. That’s the whole point of open internet, period.

I’ve been using Kagi.com as my main search engine for over a year now exactly for this feature and still Google is behind here only offering for news and blogs. On Kagi you can just click any domain and select priority level which works incredibly well!

Didn’t know that - very cool!

From what I can understand this isn’t necessarily stronger or better than existing solutions but much more flexible while be just as strong. This method would allow to produce larger variety of space vehicles and much much faster.

Caveat: this applies to literally every new technology especially in the VC funded world.

What a crazy statement. My bottle neck is time not lack of game - there are just too many incredible games there!
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 6 days ago:
I dsiagree that transparent upvotes are in issue. In fact i think it’s a powerful feature for community to self correct and resist astro turfing.
On reddit votes have become meaningless because they are not 1 person == 1 vote and its completely astroturfed. You can literally got to buyredditvotes dot com (not real but real ones are very close just google it) and stuff any post with votes and nobody will ever know.
Transparent interactions are key for community health even if behind anonymous nicknames. So all interactions should be transparent.
My only issue is that many lemmy instances are blocking popular VPN services which is very dangerous. I understand the bot argument but user safety suffers hard here.
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 6 days ago:
How are you going to evaluate long term effects salt water has on a system without practical experiments? They clearly have the money and its much easier and efficient to launch an real MVP than to design a complex set of simulations and tests.

But it’s not a gold bar but a “gold base” which would be technically legal almost everywhere. It shouldn’t be but thats how loopholes are.
