The problem with the model of exclusives driving console purchases is that it only worked when people could afford multiple consoles. The combination of consoles and games being more expensive and them trying to double dip by requiring subscriptions for online play means most people are going to pick a platform instead of getting several like they used to, even if they would want to play some exclusive they can’t.
It says voices38 did it so it’s a real one
Also duckdb. Realizing I could do SELECT ... FROM 'arbitrary-file.xlsx' was a wondrous occasion
You linked the article about archive.today? Are you high? I think I’ll just block you because you’re insufferable
So there is a pattern. I agree that makes it much worse. You could have just said that instead of literally every other comment you wasted my time with.
Nice sealioning! I hope you have a nice day but I’m moving on
I don’t give a fuck what Vincent said. You’re latching onto something that is completely pointless and I’m not going to engage you on.
Assuming your link is about the shit Andy Yen said before, then I agree it is problematic, but I don’t think there is a through line to proton sponsoring Vincent. I’d bet it’s completely unrelated.
I literally know nothing about Vincent other than that he’s a bad dude. I just find the scenario as it has been laid out believable. If it becomes a pattern then I’ll join you with my pitchfork.
I copy pasted it from know your meme lol
I think it is easily believable that it was a single sponsorship and Vincent used the word partnership without even thinking about it, and I also find it easily believable that the sponsorship is something that slipped through the cracks rather than having any meaning, and I find the response from Proton to be acceptable. I just don’t think it is as big a deal as you’re wanting it to be ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?
Sikh’s can carry a blade… sike!
Probably 1/5 at the most of the people i know actually like llm chatbots and related. Another 2/5 are neutral and the rest loath them for one reason or another. The majority of them are being forced to use it at work for things it sucks at and hate at least that part. Anyway, one theory I have for you is that people in your life that dislike it might just not talk to you about it. I actually straight up lost a friend because he was upset that I kept challenging him when he talked about it. The rest I know that like it are not as persistent and enthusiastic about it, but when they do bring it up, I just nod and smile until it’s over, because I am simply out of energy to deal with it. These people have the same energy as the religious zealots out on the street telling people they’re going to hell and it is exhausting.
That could be. I think c# in vscode proper has some proprietary secret sauce :(
C++ is my favorite language I’ve ever programmed in and is not even close, but I spent way too much of my time on code reviews because I couldn’t trust almost anyone I worked with not to create dangling refs, memory leaks, etc
How does unique_ptr teach reference counting? It’s just a way to interface with RAII and move semantics
The AUR is kind of a trap. It can be useful but it has the warnings it has for a reason. Maintainers are not vetted so you depend on them both to be benevolent and competent and neither are reliable.
No one should really use it without taking the time to understand pkgbuild but you have people recommending AUR helpers like yay and tying AUR updates to regular system updates which is a terrible idea
