- Comment on Do boycotts work? 1 day ago:
This isn’t a binary answer since it depends on the target and how many people are actually doing it.
For example Disney+ boycott worked since an actual lot of people participated in it, it’s also easy to cancel a subscription, but on the other side, Hogwarts Legacy’s boycott didn’t do shit because almost no one cares that much about sending a message, and there was no substitute for the fantasy of living a virtual life in a magic school, yet.
While politics boycott need a large enough mass of people to accomplish anything, and this my may ruffles some feather but, violence is often needed just like what happened in Nepal.

- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 days ago:
It can since it’s much cheaper than video and games thanks to the small file size of songs.

Seems you guys are being pedantic on purpose, again, no one wants machine learning or shit like that to vanish, they are extremely useful and have been for decades.
What people are mocking and pointing how useless they are, are the LLMs and the promise of AGI, this shit won’t happen in our lifetime.

that’s fine though, people aren’t mad about models you can run locally, even though now it takes 30 seconds instead of 5 to get a response from my ERP bot.

I mean, even NFTs are still technically around, the tech didn’t go away, it just stayed as it’s own niche since grifters stopped trying to push it to normal people. I think the same will happen to AI since even if everyone that used chat gpt paid it’s monthly fee, they would still lose money.

The original version of Final Fantasy Type-0 is a much more impressive game when you play it on a portable device, also it doesn’t have the nauseating blur from the HD remaster.
Just grab the English patch and go for it.
