What, exactly, are the consequences of these companies doing cyberattacks against random people? One person does it, they get bullied by the government into suicide, a company wort…

What options are those? Anything they do that makes ARM better/cheaper for consumers makes RISC-V a win, even if it never reaches mainstream adoption.

Anti-union propaganda is where it comes from.

For games like Starfield, the problem is the game is bad, it has nothing to do with politics or ESG.

Well companies can issue stock, which is more or less spawning resources, but that's not what I meant. When people with more money than they need want more of it, things get done, …

Resources have a way of spawning for CEOs, why not for minimum wage workers?

I don't know; you can bit shift an output stream by a string (or char array) in C++ (std::cout << "Hello, world!"). That seems pretty mad to me.

Slay the Spire 1 (Java) and 2 (Godot). Ironically, StS1 ran better under wine than natively. Anyhow, there are plenty of native games, we just don't notice, because running them te…

> Generally speaking societies do better when knowledge is shared and not hoarded. These companies do even better because we're not allowed to share the knowledge (read, illegally …

Can you expand on how you do this? I've gotten into gamedev a couple of times, but never got around to completing anything. Something like this might just do the trick.

Eh, betting houses have a vested interest in matches not being fixed, which actually fixes a huge problem in sports, so they have a use in that. I used to work in odds prediction a…

When does steam require age verification? It sometimes asks for my age for viewing a game and I can input any ol' date I want to. It doesn't even flinch if I input a different date…

Many more thousands have no issues with small cars or going to a closer sports club. If the roads in cities are wide enough in cities for literal trucks, then they're wide enough f…

Account creation is the first thing you gotta do when trying to join a server complete with a silly captcha. At least on the server I just tried.

Well obviously, higher risks higher rewards.

This is self employment only where your company assets == your assets. You can make an LLC and this isn't a problem.

We have figured out how to get money to enforce paying taxes and GDPR compliance: Pay them with the taxes and fines. USA's IRS has a famously high ROI, and I'm willing to bet a sin…

Why not make it 4%? Because the highest fine per GDPR is 4% of global revenue or 20 mil, whichever is higher.

> I noticed that often the people who switch to Linux, are more likely to send more time into finetuning their OS, tinkering around, etc... aka people with more time on their hands…

What's wrong with SEPA instant? A payment flow of 'scan code, confirm in banking app' is hard to beat and we're 95% there. And all you need is your own banking app, no shady paymen…

I agree with you that generative AI is clearly not fair use. However, at this point, the economic impact of trying to de tangle this mess would be so large, the courts likely won't…

Valve maintains a 'Steam Runtime', which is similar to a docker container, to ensure it's easy to develop games that run on many distributions.

LLMs are excellent at automating this work away.

Create a few insecure implementations, parse them into an AST, then turn them back into code (basically compile/decompile) except rename the variables and reorder stuff where you c…

I think they should be banned, if there isnt a contribution besides what the llm answered. It's akin to 'I googled this', which is uninteresting.
