Please understand that this is the next 'SEO' shit.

It was going to be this from the very start.

People are and always have been divorced from reality. Some people barely understand how their own house works, but nobody ever understood everything, and at no point you could be sure you know with absolute certainty what was going on 1000 miles away from you.

Let us not act like generative AI is going to break the 4th wall of our perfect world. And I don't even mean video or even image manipulation - basic text can and has been used for manipulation forever.

Perhaps we should reexamine things we've had for decades, like signing content with PGP and building actual trust around the world.

Do you mean Musk or did you misunderstand the comment?

Oh boy, I know where I'm losing my next free weekend

Gentoo is the best!

Build flags are absolute godsent.

Ever wondered how much shit goes into your software? How many packages include blutooth or CD drivers? Well, you would be suprised.

LibreOffice REQUIRES MySQL client (or MariaDB), and you can't build it without it. Sounds weird? Then you have no idea what happens inside your packages.

So which distro do you use? Plan9 was never completed I think?

Just use Gentoo mate /s

How?

To use on it's own citizen later

So you opened another can of worms.

I would be very glad if we would stop with game sales altogether. Instead, add option to support the developer and platform. Completely unrelated to the amount of people and hours played.

Just download the game (ideally through P2P), enjoy it, 'donate' if you like it, however much you like.

For online games, you have a pool for keeping servers alive, if it runs out, open-source it, and let users with the maintenance.

Like I would have donated much more to Terraria than to Devil May Cry 5.

I can't help but throw this down here:

FUCKING STOP LIMITING DIGITAL ASSETS WITH LICENSES.

Digital is the only realm where you can make FREE* copies of EVERYTHING**. Why do people argue for making additional limitations of such capabilities is beyond me.

I know why companies and rich people want to create artificial scarcity even in the digital world. And I guess some poor shmucks think they can get richer, but it's not true.

So stop with the 'dEcEnTrAlIzEd OwNeRsHiP lOdGeR' bullshit, and enjoy the FREE* copies of everything we have.

• Copies take space and (usually) internet traffic, so they incur costs. But those are negligible, as we use those anyway. I'm not going to elaborate on how to support the creators, and crypto won't solve it

** Fuck DRM, avoid shit that comes with it, even Steam if possible

Remember Spectre? When they recommended disabling hyperthreading?
