I just assume anything that promises free stuff on Instagram reels is in fact a scam or a hack.

Also I’m not getting on that shit site to confirm it’s true.

Dunno how big they are. Might be a technical disconnect between the PR person and the devs.

I can excuse a marketing person making this whoopsie, but a dev? Come on you 100% saw the copypasta

From your user name to the link joke.

This is a real master piece

Of the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you’re right they’re all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.

That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies

My avatar is also partially AI generated. I GIMPed the Zizek face from one of his movie posters though.

I’m used to people calling me out for the Zizek part and that hasn’t happened on Lemmy ever lol.

Lots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you’d have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.

There’s an author I’ve become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that’s just where the masses are still and it’s hard to break that momentum.

I’m sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the “counter terrorists” on Dust 2 as well.

It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev

Makes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.

Much easier for valve to ban the Russian one that most certainly wasn’t going to make any money for valve than the money printer that is COD. And it has the perk of never letting then reflect on their own past as part of the war propaganda engine

New Player: “My Wizard casts fireball targeting the king!”

Me: “Actually that doesn’t happen y-”

NP: “Did a hidden wizard cast counter spell! I can-”

Me: “No I just won’t let you do that. Try to ruin our game again and I’ll ban you from the discord.”

Np: “Oh.”

There are so many pieces of media that need much slower pacing. The Sequel Star wars movies for one.

An AI project that’s ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain’t so!

Checked the videos you posted

This is just a ChatGPT front end isn’t it?

More I’m even more curious what you’re doing here. Are you selling access to your own API key for $30? Why LMAO

Okay so it’s something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.

How is it processing the data?

Where am I getting the data?

What is it doing to the data?

Who is paying me for processed data?

Linux everywhere and then Windows VM labeled “Shitty Spyware Do Not Open”

I already get 8-10 hours of active use out of my T14. Who wants to do more stuff for longer without a dedicated space for it?

I get sick of coffee shop stuff after like 3 hours.

Myself and Sasquatch.

I wonder if steam considers this can evasion.

TBH, if it’s free I don’t care if the reviews are rigged so long as it’s not to hide that it’s a crypto miner or something. But when money is involved I care a lot.

And

No native PC launch

Pick one

I could see that as a privacy measure.

Everything on Lemmy is open anyways but maybe the maintainer didn’t want to be the guy to make Lemmy data that accessible. So it’s a limitation. You can only have Lemmy data if you are hosting the server and the community.
