$50 for a PS3 game.

The absolute state of AAA gaming is ridiculous.

I think the JD Vance “I’m a never Trumper” clip has kind of killed the title, no?

I have considered looking into this. Building one’s own TV might be the move.

Have you done it, and if so, any tips?

I mean, they say both things.

My advice is never use a smart tv of any kind.

It is getting harder and harder to find a dumb TV though.

It is biased towards the rich. Much of American society and laws are biased towards the rich or biased towards large corporations.

So it is insane, but since it’s just as insane as the rest of the system, you aren’t supposed to notice.

I don’t play multiplayer because I don’t want to be cussed out by a 6 year old.

I play games to have fun. I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that change as well. It was fun while it lasted.

Oh, yeah. Fair enough. Totally agree.

We are not in direct control. That’s the disconnect.

Case in point: the US sells arms to Israel. Numerous polls show a lack of support for Israel’s current actions among US citizens, and yet the arms sales continue.

I get that the electoral college is a great excuse for the popular vote not mattering in presidential elections, but what is the excuse when the country has said they don’t want their money going somewhere but it doesn’t stop flowing?

Can you explain the difference in terms of the effect on the population?

Duh.

The US is effectively a corporation. We The People have lost control. The question is what we do about it.

Epic Games

…it rings a bell, but I’m too busy worrying about people who aren’t corpo shitheads trying to convince the market they can offer something different

I love this, buy fuck off with that anti-Linux content on Lemmy.

We only have few places. :)

Edit: unless we’re talking about servers and phones, in which case we have most of them

The philosophical depth of so many comment threads on this post kind of highlights the issue with AI and intellectual property rights.

By definition, AI leverages existing work, crucially in a way that usually does not credit or benefit the original creator.

If I took two images from random creators, cut one out, and pasted it onto the other: have I created a new work? Is it a copyrightable work? (I genuinely don’t know the answer to that).

I don’t see anything here that supports the idea that a vacancy tax would “hurt people who can least afford it”. Even if we go the anecdotal route, the location of vacant homes says very little about their owners.

When jail?

Because if we don’t start seeing jail, nothing changes.
