Would you say the technology is developed far enough?

I’m definitely interested, as the phone screen size is often a bit too small. But any mechanical movement makes me nervous on a small device that should last multiple years.

“Mile wide and inch deep” is a great way to put it.

I’m playing through the game right now, and there’s a bunch of small annoyances (like getting stuck on invisible terrain while walking/driving), but I can overlook those. But so many things are lifeless beyond the basic game mechanics.

As an example, I just bought an expensive apartment. I didn’t expect a crazy cutscene or anything, but at least the person I bought it from should have shown some kind of reaction, maybe a short dialogue. But no, nothing. I pressed the button, money was subtracted, and I can enter the elevator. The person I bought it from didn’t even look up.

Compare that to something like Baldurs Gate 3, where even small unlikely interactions have surprising amounts of interactivity. The game oozes life out of every pore.

It’s depressing that this is the final state after so many updates.

They apparently like making on memes shitting people & things without really understanding why, like the one for the NVidia CEO

What are you referring to by “OSI”? Not the 7 layer model, but that’s all I can find. It’s good to explain abbreviations when they’re not the most common usage of that abbreviation.

If they don’t have my contacts, they can’t spoof a number from my contacts. If they just spoof local numbers, the chance of them choosing one of my contacts is incredibly slim.

And how does a scammer get my contacts?

Well yes, you didn’t get first ads. But what about second ads?

Don’t forget that macOS literally contacts Apple server for every binary you execute. When there was an issue with those servers, only Apple software was launchable.

I’m aware, it was mostly a joke about these “features” making Notepad worse. Nevertheless, thank you :)

More like Notepad–, amirite

Yes, CO did bad releasing an unoptimized game, but if you put pressure for a cosmetic DLC to be removed you can’t be angry that they removed said DLC.

I strongly disagree with this for two reasons:

1. Nobody put pressure on them to remove the content from the game. “Removing the DLC” can be done in productive or non-productive ways, the latter of which happened here - a better solution would be to set it as non-buyable on Steam and wait with refunds until the patch has been released which allows people to continue playing.

2. It’s not just grey boxes (which would be bad enough on its own - these people paid for the content, there’s no technical reason for them not to have it right now) - the CO employee literally says:

Assets are replaced by the placeholder boxes, but as the waterfront zoning isn’t available in the base game yet, I recommend holding off on loading saves with a lot of those zones.

So the people who bought the shitty DLC, as in the die-hard fans, can’t play on their saves due to COs fuckup.

The Podman developers did contribute to Docker for a while before starting the project. Docker kept introducing issues and had some fundamentally bad design decisions that they didn’t want to change.

At least try to look into the history of these things before making broad and easily falsifiable statements.

Podman wasn’t built due to NIH. Docker has real problems (though many have been fixed), and Podman was built to fix those.

I recently did this, and it was fucking annoying to create the app in Google’s Cloud. Incredibly laggy (5-10 seconds until clicks register), loading times of up to a minute between navigations.

This was on a very beefy PC, I suspect the issue is that I used Firefox.

My guy. Prices are based on the costs and the profit. Higher costs means higher prices, because companies maximize their profit.

I didn’t imply they are a good company - but that’s simply how prices work. If the revenue for some customers is smaller, either those customers will have to pay more, or (if they’re not allowed to specifically increase prices for that group, as is the case here) all customers will have to pay more.

Apple taking 30% of some subscriptions makes Netflix even more expensive for everyone.

Exactly. They have very strong feelings that they are right, and won’t be moved - not by arguments, research, evidence or anything else.

Just look at the guy telling me “they can’t reason!”. I asked whether they’d accept they are wrong if I provide a counter example, and they literally can’t say yes. Their world view won’t allow it. If I’m sure I’m right that no counter examples exist to my point, I’d gladly say “yes, a counter example would sway me”.

Thank you very much. The confirmation bias is crazy - one guy is literally trying to tell me that AI generators don’t have knowledge because, when asking it for a picture of racially diverse Nazis, you get a picture of racially diverse Nazis. The facts don’t matter as long as you get to be angry about stupid AIs.

It’s hard to tell a difference between these people and Trump supporters sometimes.

A cognizant ai would have recognized that the Nazis it was creating looked historically inaccurate, based on its training data.

Do you understand that the model is specifically prompted to create “historically inaccurate looking Nazis”? Models aren’t supposed to inject their own guidelines and rules, they simply produce output for your input. If you tell it to produce black Hitler it will produce a black Hitler. Do you expect the model to instead produce white Hitler?
