What do you recommend to find a private tracker? A while back, I tried to find one, but none of them were available for new users. Granted that I haven’t used torrents in a while.

What about the other side?

Loot box are still a thing, in a big way. Look at CS2 or the yearly soccer games.

And gacha games on mobile are a plague.

Lootbox is the first step, battlepass close second.

Liberals are mostly the status quo, and the status quo enables the current climate crisis. Not a hard concept to grasp.

I read eco-fascist as someone that can’t change their habits, so will double down on the destructive habits for the environment, not someone that fights to reduce the impact of climate change through actions against capitalism.

Capitalism has carcinisation for rent. If something stay solvent long enough, it will turn into a rent seeking subscription.

Its a self fulfilling disaster. The vast majority of developers learn their skills in a company. Companies don’t want to pay for documentation. So developers don’t learn to properly document.

When I work with a client that doesn’t have a constraining standard for their product, they never ever want to pay for documentation.

When I work with a client that has to work with constraining standards, they want the strict minimum that will get them their cert.

Edit : forgot to add my closing point.

Having a good documentation will make coding a lot more efficient and easy and usually decent.

Because data is the new oil and friends of the party won’t be able to profit from it if we have a sensible solution.

The terms are used because of the narritive forms of a story.

1st person is from the point of view of the character, thus the view from the eyes of the playable character.

3rd person is he/she perspective. You follow the character from the narration of an external narrator. You see the playable character do actions from a perspective that isn’t their own or someone’s else.

2nd person would be from the point of view of a person involved with the character but isn’t it. So you would see the actions of the character through the eyes of an NPC. There was a demo floating around YouTube where a player was shooting zombies, and the camera was from the POV of thr zombies. It made it look pretty weird.

I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

It’s because there is no such thing as optimisation anymore. Websites are bloated to the gills with terrible animations and tracking scripts.

The tech is there, but companies are penny pinching on their employees. I doubt they have the insight to invest millions of dollars to upgrade their factories.

76 is a fun brainless Fallout multiplayer. I’d rather have a real Fallout MP instead of 76, but I can’t lie and had over 100hrs of fun.

Having the capabilities to take on debt helps to garner investments.

You can do a joint venture, take on a bit of debt but get more money of it.

And we’ve seen many mega corpos finance their venture throught debt (see Uber business model).

So I’d say that it was true in the past, but corpos are getting bolder.

The point is that major shareholder will try to hide insider knowledge to sell their stock before a big crash.

They pump the stock value as much as possible and sell it before it crashes. They make a shit ton of money and some suckers are left holding the bag.

Because higher stock value means more collateral for debt.

You’d be surprised on how much debt is used in even small companies.

There was a meme going around a month or so ago of 5 AI companies jerking off, representing the circular financing that this article talks about.

From the moment these “investments” were announced, people were already raising flags about circular investments.

I mean, technically yes.

But mega corpos have so much money to throw at you that at one point, it’s hard to say no and very few people can refuse.

It is generational wealth that is being offered to the shareholders. I know I would fold.

Grim Dawn is not a live game service.

Last Epoch promised to only have MTX and pay only once to get the full experience. That’s not the case anymore.

Last Epoch studio got bought out and people were afraid they were gonna get enshittified and it is happening right now.

DNS only translate a string address (www.mywebsite.com) to its IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) so that it is easier to remember.

Bots just try a range of address and they don’t need to know your domain name. You could have the most unintelligible domain name in the world, bots would still ping your website because they use direct IP addresses.
