spare the colors, this is how the text looks like for me sometimes. Welcome to keratoconus.

i think "opportunist" is more precise of a description in this case

congrats on your boyfriend's bottom surgery?

if you don't want to feed your texts to the corpus for ai training, you better go live in a forest, because anything appearing on the internet inevitably ends up in the training corpus.

If your distaste is particularly about translation apps, then you can selfhost an llm even on your phone, and use it for translation. Even a really small one would be ok, as LLMs are designed primarily for tasks like these, even tho everyone seems to forget this.

good for you ig

Would they feel any pain or suffering if you shut the simulation down? If not, which seems like the intuitive answer, then it is ethical.

Killing people in a traditional sense is unethical because you inevitably subject them to suffering agony. Also, the killed one won't be your only victim, as any people related to them would be subjected to psychological trauma.

Whether plugging off simulated consciousnesses is moral is another question tho.

I think i am

I like the fact that there's a world-wide cultural psyop telling you that losing virginity somehow changes you

How many artists and modelers started out from submitting their works for tf2/dota2/cs:go? How many animators started from SFM? How many people became indie devs thanks to the existence of the Steam greenlight? How many people switched over to linux thanks to proton?

Wow. You're saying this as if level designers haven't started their careers by making custom levels for Doom,

How do my words deny the provided statement in any way? How your words disprove the cited statement?

The truth is Valve wouldn't be here today without the Quake engine that id themselves made...

And Quake engine wouldn't exist without C++, C++ wouldn't exist without C, C wouldn't exist without assembler, and so on and so forth. That's how progress works. Inventing a wheel from scratch every time is hella stupid, and so is your take, captain obvious. Like everyone who licenced the ID Tech engine at the time, Valve built a huge amount of technology on top of it.

Come on, you're no longer even trying.

valve's regression

regression in what, dare i ask?

And as for Linux, once again, *wine. Even then, I switched to Linux and stayed because the basic experience has been elevated, and all of that without using any Valve software.

cool, but that's your personal experience, which is far from being universal.

Besides, what is the point of Linux if I end up changing my unaccountable corporate master for another unaccountable corporate master, Valve?

define "unaccountable corporate master", and explain to me how did you manage to put a game publisher under a term like this.

I can totally say Microsoft Windows was a positive influence because it made computing easy to access and develop for, but understandably nobody's going to forgive them

You could... In an alternate reality where Windows is the only OS ever existed.

So now you're just babbling for the sake of babbling, coming up with the most braindead takes possible, while ignoring practically everything i say because i don't fall under the criteria of your tribe, thus inherently being a corpo billionaire shill. With this behaviour you're only proving my words about your inability to see nuance. I hope you're a kid, because that would at least mean some potential for intellectual development in the future.

Let's stop before you embarrass yourself further.
