The other big change that’s coming for a lot of people I know: end of Windows 10 support. Honestly, the majority of people I know who still have a traditional Windows PC are using machines that can’t be upgraded to Windows 11.

The average person just simply won’t upgrade. These are the people who find regular updates or shutting of their PC already a pain, what makes you think they would switch to a completely different OS?

There was a Sims movie?

That season was brutal with The Place Further Than The Universe having similar themes for their episode on the same week. I went in expecting some slice of life joy after being destroyed by Violet Evergarden, only to be destroyed yet again.

Man, that was one hell of a ride. I don’t think I remember seeing something so… experimental (?) before in anime. Man, I feel like I’ll need to watch this a couple more times to catch everything and give it the attention it deserves. Kyoani really are in a league of their own.

That’s exactly what DLsite has done when MasterCard and Visa banned them. Granted, they’re Japanese so most fo their sales use Japanese methods like JCB, PayPay, etc. I’m not sure if this would kill services that didn’t have such a large domestic audience.

Having tried it out at the store, it feels like a downgrade in every way in the usability and functionality department. No pen support, what’s the use of such a large screen if you can’t write on it? Wider screen so now it’s actually impossible to use one handed while folded. They got rid of the under display camera on the inner screen which people don’t use often to begin with.

Are there self hostable alternatives to their discovery algorithm?

Nvidia would have you believe that with MFG and DLSS. Anyways, never trust the manufacturer’s claims, we’ll see what this triple slot 4060 competitor can do when it gets in the hands of independent reviewers.

That’s using a 3 slot cooler just to hit the performance of a GPU that was already underpowered on release. China doesn’t exactly have a clean record either.

Porn is serious business man

This is a country that has porn mags being sold in convenience stores and plenty of stores where you can find content for all sorts of fetishes both online and offline. They also have 2 huge indie artist markets every year where at least 50% of the content being sold is porn. Each event gets about 300k people. Only thing I can think of regarding censorship here are the mosaics and those are only really there due to a very old law that no lawmakers are gonna bother with expending political capital to reverse.

In the West, we might focus on preventing people from harming others or hacking, and in China, they’re preventing people from getting politically supportive of China. But in a way, we are all “exporting” our propaganda.

I don’t think anyone can say with a straight face that these 2 cases are both propaganda. So called “western ptopaganda” here is really just advising the user that maybe self harm, etc. is not such a good idea. It’s not explicitly telling the user completely unverifiable false facts.

Wasn’t Apple boasting 4090 performance at one point? lol

It’s okay if their pastors touch little boys though! /s

They’re gift cards that you can buy from a different online store that’s from a different company. Then you redeem them on DLsite.

What’s stopping them from doing what DLsite did in Japan by using credits purchased off site? Seems like an alternative business opportunity there.

I mean there’s that, but there’s also a number of posts and comments about how Nintendo is shit for doing something that they didn’t even do. Like, there’s more than enough things to give them shit for, why invent new ones?

Perfected it by removing features?

You’re using an extreme example which is fine and I agree that what Candy Crush is doing is clearly trying to exploit people. However, I do believe there’s a stark difference between that and the examples we were discussing.
