  • Don't worry, I wrote a program that can find the answer for you. It's been running for a while though...

    Maybe somebody could come up with a program to determine if my program will halt or continue forever?

  • I use a dedicated MP3 player and a large FLAC library.

    I use MusicBee, running on Wine, to listen and synchronize automatically.

    I don't believe in subscriptions, and therefore won't pay for one: no music streaming, no Netflix, no Game Pass, no Adobe.

  • We have more genders so its easier to overrun the government

  • And non-US leftists should really reconsider using US technology that logs their data.

  • Buy more so that their economics and capabilities can be improved so they can sell better for cheaper.

    So you do that and I buy when the price makes sense, thanks. Sorry, not paying a 60% premium for three year old hardware so "in the future it can become cheaper for others"

  • Reddit, and by extension Lemmy, have this infatuated vision of how private companies are actually great for customers because whenever somebody asks about Steam the explanation given is that if this were a publicly traded company it would be horrendous but because it's private everything is perfect and there are rainbows inside their offices.

    The truth is EA will be just as aggressively profit driven as it already is, the new owners will try to reduce costs just like always, and IPs that sell more will continue to be prioritized just like before.

  • My biggest issue with the alternative phones is I'm not paying a massively inflated price for bad hardware just because it's using free software, sorry. Same goes for Framework laptops. I will tolerate paying a premium, but everything about the device must match the price tag.

  • To me it's not even about jobs. It's about the interest in the art... why the fuck would I care about a script written by AI and acted by AI? What's even the point?

    If everything is artificially generated to be mildly pleasing, just fucking electrically stimulate my dopamine receptors directly, what's even the goal here? See a few pixels move on my screen?

    The whole humanity thing was work to survive so we can make the things only humans can make: wonders, art, tell stories, play sports... why would I give a shit about a computer's interpretation of that?

  • No AI star got any "agency interest" these headlines are purposelly crafted to create the impression that there was interest. This is free publicity for an AI avatar nobody gives a shit about.

  • A "certified Android device" is a device running Google Play Services, Play Protect, Google's WideVine DRM scheme and a few other requirements. If you purchase a device from a known manufacturer, like Samsung, you're falling into this category.
