Next thing they'll tell us is that motorcycles are faster than people-powered bicycles...

GOG's whole "thing" is having games be DRM-free.

Even Epic has a decent number of DRM-free games: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Epic_Games_Store

And PC Xbox is just in the corner eating DRM paint chips.

I feel good to have gotten a 9070XT. I also suspect it's going to be hanging around as my gaming GPU for about a decade...

An interesting gotcha that I don't see universities actually addressing on any of this...

English-as-a-Second-Language students are generally being given a pass to use AI freely. The thought is that proper grammar and writing aren't what's being graded for many papers.

The problem is that they can just let AI write the paper and say "I only used AI for grammar".

I know downvotes are generally frowned upon here... But c'mon. This ain't what we should be hyping up attention for.

I honestly think Reddit comments are >50% by bots at this point. It's an absolute cesspool.

I just discovered Soulseek this week after running the -arrs for 2-3 years.

Soulseek is so good.

Yep. We'd just be solidifying the base of this whole pyramid scheme with our tax dollars.

And when the bubble pops, the handful of people at the top will have fucked off their trillions, and the rest of us will deal with the consequences.

I hate it, but it's true.

When consumer prices tripled, sales didn't go down anywhere near the 2/3 where they'd only break even. Instead, sales only dropped 15-20%, so they got massive profit & revenue increases while providing less.

To the manufacturers, that's their signal that this is simply the new price.

I'm a little worried that the impending switch to InputPlumber on the Deck version of Bazzite is going to be really rough.

That was my experience also. Within minutes of spinning up any new subdomain with a dedicated A DNS record, I had bots that scraped it from https://crt.sh/ knocking on the door.

With wildcard subdomains and relatively obscure URLs, it's pretty quiet.
