In the majority of people’s eyes crypto is seen as a scam and something to avoid. The only thing crypto ever did for me was make things I actually care about more expensive.
I think it would take a lot to recover from the bad reputation it has gotten.
Not an American, and while I do think it’s wrong and a breach of privacy rights, I’m hardly surprised.
Came here to say Mirrors Edge. Fantastic game, beautiful theme. But damn did Most Wanted have some great tracks.
Just got back into reading after not doing it for a few years. Right now it’s on an app (moon reader) on my phone. Mainly because I downloaded 20 000 leagues under the sea on project Gutenberg. Found myself reading a lot during slow moments at work. Otherwise I prefer to read a physical book before bed or on the balcony.
No idea how accurate this report is. Either way people online tend to be a vocal minority. The vast majority of people using Netflix either aren’t on Reddit or other discussion forums, or are simply lurkers who never comment. I find that people that do comment tend to be doom and gloom when it comes to these sort of things. That applies to me too, as I certainly won’t buy Netflix due to their content.
But Netflix is large enough that it will probably be fine for quite some time. Even so I do think streaming is declining rapidly due to too many services and studies have shown that people do pirate more when accessing content becomes tedious. It’s all a matter of comfort.
Not a chance, I use Facebook only for groups (have rats so in a few niche groups), and the Meta quest headset since it was what I could afford for VR and it’s standalone (shame it’s not owned by oculus anymore). Other than that I refuse to use metas products and have never felt the need for twitter.
Tiring to see reddits downfall due to corporate greed, just as so many other sites in the past. Honestly surprised old.reddit is still around, seeing how they certainly dont like users using anything but their own inferior app. While spez said it wouldn’t go anywhere I have my doubts about that.
This just proves it’s not about pricing, just unwillingness to let users choose.
Afaik when it comes to games the way npcs think has always been called AI, so wouldn’t really say its something new or making it seem smarter in this context.
