  You somehow missed the original argument. No one is forced to use the app store, which is what the lawsuit is about

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, but there is an argument to be made about how hosting things are now cheaper than ever, by a huge margin. When 1GB used to cost 1 dollar, they had 30% cut. Now when that’s 0.01 not 1, 100x the difference (while games have gotten like what, 10x bigger?), it’s still 30%.

  But you know what is the most damning argument against their cut? Steam earns more money per employee than next 3 companies combined and Gabe is buying fleet of yachts and multiple submarines, not even getting into real estate, while indie devs are going broke one after another. That cut might make a major difference for devs, but at this point Gabe has already too much money and won’t suffer from having less of it

  I was talking about CGI. Video editors and special effects, not actors. The editing part. You know - software?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Oscars officially don’t care if films use AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they change? The AI tools in movie industry have been doing miracles for decades. Especially when it comes to tracking and replacing things in footage, which jumpstarted the new era of CGI. OP, do you also want to ban movies like Avatar?

  Seriously, I’ve been dreaming about world-scale videogame (world generates as you explore based on every useful satellite data we have) where you can just drive around.

  Flight simulator comes close, but it’s flying.

  I genuinely can’t tell if you’re being for real. By the same logic, raytracing is ancient tech that should be abandoned.

  The stuff we had when people thought Hitler is still alive on some Island and stuff we have now is barely comparable, even thought yes, they use a similar underlying technology.

  Since I never had the chance to try it out myself, how was your neural network and LLMs reasoning back in the day? Imo that’s the most impressive part, not that it can write.

  I paid some extra money to finally get a good USB stick that might not have false marketing around it, like 99% of the sticks on market. From the advertised 900MB/s speed, I managed to push only 110. Before you ask - My PC slot supports USB 3.2 2x2 that normally goes way faster on data transfers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Global VR headset shipments fell 12% YoY in 2024, with Meta's market share rising to 84%; Vision Pro shipments fell 43% QoQ in Q4, but its enterprise sales grew.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is demand, but there are no truly great headsets. Vision can barely match quest and quest has way more contect, but it’s heavy and they seem to be slowly dropping PCVR support. HTC seems out of the game. Valve might come up with something in the future, but for now it’s just… barely an improvement in video quality from my PCVR headset from like 8 years ago.

  I hope China enters the game.
