…

Well, OP edited the title, and I can just say that instead of accusing you in turn if being illiterate, see how much better that works?

1. What does any of that have to do with Russia?

2. Do you not realize the idiots doing that, also think they’re “on the side of the poor, weak, disabled and oppressed”?

Well, yeah, we didn’t evolve to occupy a place, we kept getting wiped and having to start over. While something like a Greenland shark goes 50 years before it can reproduce.

We evolved as prey, but we don’t have any predators left. So there’s nothing to control our population.

But that’s way off topic

Market saturation…

The theory of natural limits states: “Every product or service has a natural consumption level. We just don’t know what it is until we launch it, distribute it, and promote it for a generation’s time (20 years or more) after which further investment to expand the universe beyond normal limits can be a futile exercise.” —Thomas G. Osenton, economist

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_saturation

Corps want more people, not less. Because people are potential customers, or cheap labor. Even if neither, their existence as extra unneeded labor reduces the price of labor.

You seem to have been talking about “population saturation” which I get the meaning of but I’m not sure it’s a thing.

Shadowrun Returns

Check out “Cyber Knights: Flashpoint”

Early access and super cheap, gets almost weekly updates that won’t break a save.

Very, very similar. But much deeper and if we’re patient and support it could be bg3 level.

Like, seriously the only other time I’ve enjoyed an early access was bg3. It’s deep enough to run it like a rouge light. Especially since if you go a couple months without touching there’s a bunch of new content when you come back.

It’s because our economic system requires constant increases to profit margin.

Once a company gets to market saturation there’s only three ways to do that:

1. Make product shittier

2. Make product more expensive

3. Mergers

We can just not use the ridiculous economic system we’re currently using tho, it’s easily fixable.

Yeah, it’s not that people don’t like the lemmy.ml users, or even really their mods…

It’s (at least one of) the admins.

If they see something they don’t like on their server, they delete it and give a very very short ban. Because they don’t want those people gone. They want them enraged and chomping at the bit to come back.

It’s ran like a troll instance, and it’s not alone.

The only time they permanently ban someone, is when they see someone in a neutral place they can’t control talking about it. Advocate for people blocking them, and they don’t want anyone signed up to their instance seeing your comments

OP, can you just keep using this account at least?

I feel like I seen these same posts a couple days in a row, and always from brand new accounts

I keep blocking them, but you seem to be deleting and making new ones.

If you keep the same account, even tho you get downvoted, you’ll eventually get less down votes as people block you

If you keep creating new accounts, the people who clearly don’t want to see it are gonna keep down voting, but also blocking.

Everyone wins

There’s a huge rabbit hole with HDMI certification…

Like, display port is better in everyway, but people make a shit ton of money off putting “HDMI certified” on products, so that’s still the default.

If it bursts the world wide economy collapses, because most “wealth” is loans against stock, which are then invested in stocks driving the price up.

I think we’re past a trillion sunk into the ponzi scheme just in AI stock, but if it goes down banks call in their loans triggering automatic sales of whatever collateral they used.

Billions and billions being sold automatically regardless of price would cause cascading crashes…

But if it works…

Corps can fire the majority of their employees and starving desperate people turn to Mad Max after a few consecutive missed meals.

The US is doing a pretty good job of replicating one era of Roman history…

You know the only thing more ridiculous than buying a toilet with a built in camera?

In October Kohler launched Dekota, a $600 (plus monthly subscription) device that attaches to the rim of your toilet and collects images and data from inside

Buying a camera to attach to an existing toilet, that has a monthly device fee that costs more than a fucking toilet does.

Maybe sprinkling 1337 into our online texts would make them less useful to AI training

No, it wouldn’t.

I think search engines didn’t work with it;

No, they worked fine. It doesn’t take much for a computer program (especially search engines and chatbots) to recognize two words spelled differently have similar meanings.

Go misspell anything into a search engine, whichever you use, and notice how it suggests a correct spelling.

So if a few people try this, it’s not enough to have an effect. If enough people to have an effect do it, then the program quickly learns leetspeak.

But that doesn’t stop people from constantly having this idea

You’re acting like that’s a common scenario…

There’s a few small slices of area in a minority of states where you might be legally allowed to pick, but that is not a guarantee there’s more than one option.

To my knowledge most of them are artificial monopolies anyways.

Like, in Perfectville your choice between any available provider is legally protected. However company A and company B made a handshake deal to draw a line down the area and not provide service on one side of the line.

Very few of those green states are for electricity

And if you just meant:

Non profit = good

Then I’m going to have to explain an entirely different thing…

And I’m not optimistic about our chances to be honest

Bullshit.

You really think companies in America with monoplies would lower prices just because their costs went down?

I wish I lived in an America like that…

People thought they’d hang onto CDs and DVDs too…

Good luck…

Even when the bubble bursts, they’re going to have an insane amount of computing power just sitting there, it will get sold off in bankruptcy proceedings, and some company will gobble it up and operate at a loss while continuing to secure future supply contracts.

There’s a very real chance that we’re witnessing the slow death of home computing.

The way things shake out it might end up being prohibitively expensive compared to cloud computing, and once that’s the norm they price gouge like Walmart did to destroy small businesses.

Instead of dropping a couple grand for a PC every couple years, we’ll have steady contracts paying for month at a time indefinitely.

they still have Respawn making Star Wars games.

I mean, that’s an exclusivity thing again…

From 2013 to 2023 only EA could work on Star Wars games. It was supposed to be a bunch of high quality epic games…

We got a couple that were decent because there’s no alternatives. And most of the time was wasted on battlefront and it’s terrible micro transactions.

Like…

"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

Literally came from the beginning of that exclusivity deal…

EA:

We can go lower

Like, everyone knows that EA is a terrible company, but it’s insane how they continually lower the bar. It’s honestly impressive how EA keeps innovating new ways to piss off consumers.

If they ever lose their sports exclusivity contracts, they’re cooked.

Madden and FIFA is why they’ll never stop being profitable

The sentiment is shifting from anti-russia to pro-russia.

What shit hole corner of the Internet are you hanging out where pro-russia content is becoming the norm?!

And why would you think AI chatbots would do better against them than actual humans?

Oh…
