Ironic that Unity started making profit as a company because customers ( flash game developers ) complained on Adobe that was ignoring them. If Adobe added 3D to flashplayer and some low level graphic card access when developers wanted Unity might never exist.
This game is a lot of fun. You can replace drug names with random names and it still will be fun. Especially if you start experimenting with mixing things and watching effects on you or your customers. There is nearly infinite mixes you can make, they vary with effects aplied to your player or to customer.
If you start oh it’s game about drugs you can as well say FPS is about serial killers.
The game loop is not punishing you for anything if you don’t want to. It have no ending just a big delivery sandbox with things you can deliver and amount you can produce. The city feels like Vice City suburbs.
Because there is no permanent kill in game, the people just fall asleep and come back next day like nothing happened and because of those mixes, game feels like you’re in comic book.
But it’s just my opinion
Well, advertisement is form of expression. I don’t accept that kind of expression in general just like some people have food intolerance.
Sorry I don’t watch ads, can be funniest joke on planet if there is brand name in it I don’t listen, my immune system don’t allow me to do that.
You need to burn old books first. Also old CD, DVD, BlueRay movies don’t have ads. There are so many movies produced you won’t be able to see all of them if you start right after born and keep tv on 24/7 for the rest of your days. Don’t get me started about old books and old music. People could literally stop buying those things and they will be fine.
Most of us are just adicted to marketing, news and more things that literally don’t matter because you have no power to change those things. We’re just animals after all, we eat meat so we’re predators, we like to follow the lead.
Books don’t have ads.
Is this fashion comeback ? Style transfer was popular 10 years ago.
You suck brest milk for over 20 years ?
I think we can end discussion here because what you wrote is completly not true.
Do you even know what P2P stands for ? Do you know that you use P2P every day and all the time, for example by using HTTP2/QUIC.
You need 0 resources to run P2P network.
Cloud computing costs are way higher than colocating server anywhere. Many companies are moving out from cloud after facing high costs. The only place cloud is shining is when you want to spin up many resources for a short period of time. And that is because we don’t have kind of computing power provider on the market where you could spin up many resources from many local computers.
Do you even know why cloud took of 20 years ago ? Have you been using internet 20 years ago ? Compare connection speed of local houshold from 20 years ago with speed right now. Compare mobile internet plan and think how it changed.
You have no idea what you are writing about.
I think that cloud costs are pretty much hidden under the corporate curtain. Things like water usage, energy usage for those 24/7 running servers, amount of servers that are running and not doing anything, finally the environmental impact around those big blocks of servers are pretty much not existent in the media.
Torrent sharing is doing fine.
Also doing same things over and over again because USA have it so Europe must have it to is not the way to go for me. I think Europe need it’s own way for technology and have all the bits to do it. I’m not saying that Europe should do the youtube in p2p manner because that’s insane but gov administration and countries beurocracy can go p2p.
P2P energy cost will be way less in my opinion. The servers don’t need to be online 24/7 if you think about it, for office workers they just need them when they are working. For people you can just request old data on demand and spin up server once per week to send bunch of encrypted emails. We’re used to that internet is instant but gov shouldn’t be instant it should be slow and stable so you don’t get punished, that’s completly oposite from what mainstream media internet is.
You’re right that good actor makes a difference in average movie. I just want to add that Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis are 67. So those old guys started in theaters where you need to improvise to make people imerse in the play. All they had was a text and their own imagination.
Maybe this lack of improvisation is killing movie industry as I think smaller creators need to improvise a lot and maybe young actors are just like puppets, don’t have this background where they need to put themselves in the role without all this technology around where you can look on everything how other people did it.
Number of technology stimulants these days are insane.
Honestly most recent movies and tv shows look like scenarios were generated by AI or some barbie sweet happy life generator so there is nothing entertaining. Creators on the other side, I feel like they do the stuff without script, just making their raw videos without asking if they can put something in the video, it’s entertaining because they make mistakes or have controversial opinions that you can’t see in modern tv.
I think people feel more connected because they feel something when watching person talking on the screen whatever they want to talk about instead of person reading from script.
Yeah desktop apps era is back baby. Fuck you cloud.
Maybe we go back to p2p, public key encryption and desktop apps. ipfs can store all the data in the distributed manner and gov can pay citizens for keeping data as a tax exception. But who I am to question building big corporations over and over again.
Does all EV require travel destination for battery preconditioning ? If so EV have kind of spying as a feature.
Or he is doing millionaire thing and looking for new kidney.

How many governments were using computers back then when IBM was controlling hardware and how many relied on paper and calculators ? The problem is that gov are dependend on companies right now, not companies dependent on governments.
Imagine Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft decides to leave EU on Monday. They say we ban all European citizens from all of our services on Monday and we close all of our offices and delete data from all of our datacenters. Good Fucking Luck !
What will happen in Europe on Monday ? Compare it with what would happen if IBM said 50 years ago they are leaving Europe.
The problem is that those companies are monopolies and can raise prices indefinitely to pursue this shitty dream because they got governments in their pockets. Because gov are cloud / microsoft software dependent - literally every country is on this planet - maybe except China / North Korea and Russia. They can like raise prices 10 times in next 10 years and don’t give a fuck. Spend 1 trillion on AI and say we’re near over and over again and literally nobody can stop them right now.
Is advertising art ?
