Chris is a pretty switched on and likeable guy. His take is absolutely right, but I think you also have to tackle the people buying multiple properties as investments. Property just can’t be the safest and most profitable investment in Australia. Negative gearing has to go first, but I wouldn’t mind seeing further steps after that to incentivise the property moguls to sell up (or at least slow their buying).

Yea you’re right. I read the article after commenting and realised my mistake lol. Some of the replies have been entertaining though.

Why are we saying Linux PCs AND steam deck? The steam deck is just a Linux PC. Unless custom work was done for it?

Horrific

That’s fair. I think it’s the front of the bike.

Yeah GrapheneOS is open source bro. Probably doesn’t have full compatibility with your phone if I had to guess. That’s really not a like-for-like comparison to iOS.

Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO’s iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can’t really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.

That being said I’ll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I’m tired of corporations trying to control my devices.

AI can already “find” the solution. They’re not listening to it because they’re looking for a magic pill that solves it without needing to change anything. We’re fucked.

Ngl I saw a duck.

Agreed it was bad timing but yeah other companies have been charging more for games for years, calling it a “complete edition” or whatever, and locking people out of content of they don’t pay the full price. But eh it is what it is.

You are being willfully ignorant if you think Sony has got the same negativity Nintendo has been getting recently. I have seen comments calling Nintendo a cancer on the gaming industry, calling for them to go bankrupt, etc. You can’t pretend Nintendo doesn’t get an undue amount of heat when they misstep. My headcanon is that the discrepancy is mostly due to 13 year olds in their edgy phase but it’s still real.

This is not an argument against fair use, but against abuses of the fair use system. Everyone should be for reforming the system in such a way that it is not abused in this way, but that does not mean that we cannot implement a similar system for AI abuses.

I would assume those would fall under fair use of some kind, but you’re right that those fair use laws would need some scrutiny before implementing this. I’m still cautiously optimistic about it, but yeah if I was a lawmaker I’d be thinking hard about the potential misuses of it for sure.

Crazy that this wasn’t already the standard years ago.

Because sycophants keep saying it’s going to take these jobs, eventually real scientists/researchers have to come in and show why the sycophants are wrong.

These guys are so full of shit hahahahaha

Fair enough I suppose. Shame the right wingers co-opted it.

Gamergate people always say this but I’ve never seen their actual complaints about games journalism. I did see them getting pissy about people like Anita Sarkeesian discussing feminism in games, though.
