It’s about the dangers of misuse of AI too. That’s pretty on point I would think.

I mean tbf complaining that less people can afford it now because prices have increased but wages haven’t is fair. Everything needs to be looked at relative to all the other values. If you wanna go even more in depth I guess you would need to add popularity of games, reputation of a brand or game series, value of the currency, and other factors.

I generally agree with you that prices for video games haven’t kept up that well, although I would also point out that due to multiple factors anchoring the video game price at 1980 might not be the best if you want a fitting picture. Games were much more rare baack then, the market was smaller, small production volume meant physical costs per unit increase, there’s things like way higher shipping costs to think about because globalization is a more modern phenomenon and a lot more stuff. Imo using the 2000s as an anchor to extrapolate from would be more fitting, as the market was well established at that point and thus prices would appear more stable.

I’m not doing that because I am literally a little gremlin who can’t be arsed to put the time in rn but these are my two cents of criticism against your methodology.

I’m very new to open source but I’d love to get involved but is there a discord or something to get up to speed?

Disgraceful

I second this.

Proton is alright as well but mullvad seems to be stuck at #1.

I mean blocking specific countries is stupid anyway. Historically China has been playing games with the EU and the US on a geopolitical level. But: Chinese, European as well as American researchers have been at the core of research on current topics like AI, security, etc. Btw. ironically the scientific landscape is very collaborative and borders on a federated model, it’s actually pretty neat how much researchers don’t care about country of origin.

What I’m saying is introducing geopolitics into open source development or research is one of the most stupid things to do, because it punished both your and the other country and only benefits uninvolved third parties. It’s literally shooting yourself in the foot.

Everything about this is petty and at the same time I’m impressed.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but are those shower thoughts or ganja thoughts?

Occam’s barbershop.

Gotta mention Spiritbox. Courtney is one of the most celebrated modern metalcore singers.

What was the calculation again?

20/2 + 7 = 17, he’s literally below the date range calculation.

And arguable you change so much between 15 and 20, I always hated the thought of dating a 19yo at 23. This is way off.

What she is requesting is sexual depictions of a minor. Depending on how it’s drawn that is probably illegal in the US.

She could request anything, but she requests a sexual depictions of a minor, even though she probably knows that it’s most likely illegal.

If it’s unethical, there’s room for argument I guess. But this goes further, and usually if something violates a law, in most cases we’re past the ethical debate and straight into criminal prosecution territory.

TL;DR there’s no other way to view this.

This game is beautiful.

I remember when I played it the first time, I sat on the ship, fishing, and I realized how the water changes colors with the weather, and it was the prettiest game I’ve seen, and I was just in awe. I never had that with any other game.

If the gameplay was a bit more complex, I would’ve spent years in this game I’m sure.
