You know what an even better take is? “We hear you, we’ll take your feedback” or just as good, say nothing at all.

Arguing that you are smarter or wiser than your users / customers is paradoxical. You are by definition not smart if you attempt to do this.

I mean, yeah, the author of the DBZ series Akira Toriyama was the core designer on the game, so it’s bound to have heavy DBZ vibes.

Toriyama designed the game’s aesthetic, including characters, monsters, vehicles, and the look of each era

Why do you think it’s more complicated than a yes or no?

Destroying the Amazon for beef is a better use? Swimming pools are better uses?

As opposed to using them for Bitcoin? Oh yes, 1000%.

The technology is interesting but the people and economics around Crypto is rotten to the core. Crypto as it is today is a shitstain on humanity.

Ummm, all of the examples you gave are actually more reasonable and valuable uses of water than Bitcoin.

SelfAwareWolf is that you?

Could of, should of, would of. I’m not gonna loose sleep on it and I hope your not gonna

You’re opinion? Maybe 3.5 or fewer more

Nothing is literally nothing, Apple could care less about them.

Nothing’s solution is basically getting you to send your messages to them, and they’ll send it through a Mac logged into your Apple ID hence achieving the “blue bubble” lol. Hugely insecure, hacky solution and hardly groundbreaking.

Return of Obra Dinn. Such an incredible experience.

make it available to anyone

To do what?

We’re doomscrolling on Lemmy, so already well on our way.

Why tf would a map update be 22GB? What is it, a CP2077 patch / DLC?

SOMA. Go in blind.

I mean, if there are people who want to buy it, why not? It would just be icing on the cake for Bethesda.

but it’s not like they add it for no reason.

I didn’t say anything about that. I’m saying the main reason Bethesda removed Denuvo from Doom Eternal is likely because of cost reasons, not because it’s a marketing play to drive sales (like OP suggested).

Sorry but that doesn’t really make sense. In that scenario it is more sensible to just release a DRM free game at start, because the first group would buy either way and the second group would buy at the higher launch/near-launch pricing (since games drop in prices over time). It doesn’t make sense to make essentially 2 versions of the game over such a span of time like you described.

A more realistic scenario would be that there is some cost / licensing fee to use Denuvo tech and it no longer makes financial sense for Doom Eternal to do so, hence BOOM! DRM free.

OP is flagging a legitimate issue that can actually put instance owners at risk. Raising the issue that instance owners can unwittingly host illegal content and be liable for it - how is that entitled?

Totally understand that Lemmy devs are a small team, but the growth of use of the software is exploding now, and not being able to keep up is a problem of scale - gatekeeping others from raising issues does not help it get better and in fact discourages issue reports and promotes a head-in-the-sand culture.

Only 200? Step up your game. Gramps didn’t sub $5.99 / month OF out of his retirement funds for nothing.

Your have this insane idea that the whole country is one big “business”.

Your words, not mine. But businesses tend to want to make money, cut costs and protect their investments (surprise), so you do the math.

Facebook is a business that doesn’t give a single shit about real estate, because they’re not in the business of real estate, and yet they’re bringing their workers back to the office.

I don’t 100% agree, and for every Facebook there is a Microsoft.

But this discussion isn’t going anywhere, mostly about you blowing steam and probably more interesting to you than it is to me, so let’s just agree to disagree.

No but those industries directly impact a wide variety of other industries. You don’t see employers demanding their employees drive around in circles to burn more gas because oil prices dip.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here.

What other poster?

WTF is “remote work culture”? Why does Amazon give a shit about what Target is doing?

See the linked post above.

Why would Facebook give a shit about how much money the government makes from property taxes?

Governments give a shit in this case. Who said anything about Facebook?

Occam’s Razor simple explanation of employees are just more productive in the workplace…

It doesn’t need to be a conspiracy. Business by definition does what they need to do to reduce cost, it’s in their DNA. In fact I posit via Occam’s Razor that the simplest explanation for the back-to-work push is it protects government, business and investors loss from their investments / revenue streams. That’s it, just follow the money. It’s not rocket surgery.

Your position that in-person workstyle is more productive largely depends on the type of job and the company culture. It’s not an one-size-fits-all solution and certainly isn’t “simple”.
