This loophole (if we can even call it that because it‘s just stupid marketing) makes it even worse than regular gambling. It‘s unregulated and very easy to exploit even by other participants. Everything about this is illegal in pretty much any country no matter how you word it. It‘s actually insane how slow countries are to do something about those criminals.
The internet peaked over a decade ago when bandwidth was alright for what we consumed and attention seekers have only infested mainstream media. You could navigate around them. Most forums have died since the early 2010s and you have to deal with these faking clowns even in the tidiest niches that we have left. People have become completely obsessed with attention and money. It‘s all the internet is good for anymore. At least if you ask most users.
People seem to miss the point that it‘s probably more about information than anything else. They know this shit isn‘t productive. Deep down, they know they‘re selling crap. But it produces tons of data from users. Silicon valley knows this best. That‘s why they „protect AI companies“. They just want to harvest the data themselves.
Consumerism being a democratic process is probably the most effective propaganda capitalists have fabricated.
LOL what? This is some „your carbon footprint“ level horseshit. It‘s like saying you the consumer chose global warming or to lose your job to automation. I mean, did you choose to live near a data center that was build last month? I didn‘t think so either.
We‘re not one tightly organized mass making decisions with far reaching consequences together as consumers. Providers on the other hand practice price-fixing and lobbying in an organized manner. That‘s where I would start pointing my finger at to explain this mess.
I, the consumer are terribly powerless. Only we, the people can change these things for the better by gutting these corporations.
Modern day Robin Hood.
They don‘t care about the racist fascist part but he‘s also a massive fraud who build his empire on short legged lies. It‘s simply irresponsible to believe that guy.
A lot of Americans voted for this clown, remember? And most of those voters were fine when DOGE destroyed the lives of many. Now it‘s their turn to pay up. Let this be a lesson for Americans. Subscribing into an ideology of selfishness and hatred comes at a cost for society.
It was pretty shit when I got my Steam controller. I won‘t sugar coat it. Inputs wouldn‘t even register for me when I tried to map it, there‘s no manual or support to help you with anything and the UI is damn confusing. Steam Imput being mandatory while not working properly meant I didn‘t really use the Steam controller for weeks. A recent update improved it a lot on my Linux machine, however and I can enjoy the controller now.
Still can‘t move actual gyro inputs into other software though. That still sucks. Hope they ditch Xinput soon or they make the drivers open source so someone else can build something better.
Steam input could be great. It‘s a great idea. It just isn‘t great right now.
Guess we’re already at the point where people make up wild conspiracy theories just to criticize Firefox.
Of course! For an additional 5.99 a month you‘ll be able to hide AI content*!

If only tech bros watched dystopian works about technology like Black Mirror that told us how dumb this concept really is. But hey at least they will learn from their own mistakes, right… right?
Australia to waste even more tax dollars to spy on tax payers even harder.
They‘re based on the same principle and are therefore both AI or based on machine learning. The actual misconception comes from LLMs being treated as AI when they‘re just a product of machine learning. Both things are based on the same principles of pattern recognition and training data, though.
The difference here is that scientist use machine learning for something useful while tech bros use it to make word salad generators.
Luckily my work still lets me use Win10 for as long as they give safety updates. Unfortunately for me, it‘s still Windows.
When was Microsoft ever??? Sorry but you knew back then what you know now.
I have to say that Kingdom Come Deliverance wasn‘t for me. Too realistic. Too tedious. That‘s probably what makes it great for the fans but I do not think Elder Scrolls fans want inconvenience just because it‘s realistic. They‘re not the same fan base.
I genuinely don‘t think Elder Scrolls fans would actually want just another Skyrim. They‘ve had over a dozen releases of that already. The devs definitely have to be better.
You will own nothing but corporations will still hold you, the consumer, responsible when their decisions have catastrophic outcomes for everybody.
