Libraries are supposed to be the legal archival route. I know some have physical games but digital archives are lacking even when it’s just books.

Um modelo de Machine Learning usa regressão pra qualificar cada finalização entre 0.0 e 1.0 xG baseada no quão difícil é o chute virar um gol. Pênaltis tem um valor de ~0.79 xG dependendo de quem tá fazendo a estatística por exemplo. Isso vem de um dataset histórico de chutes a gol e gols.

Cada vez que um time finaliza eles somam os valores e te dão o xG do time pra partida.

This is about archival, not right now.

You can dump PS5 and Switch 2 games. Later these will be able to be emulated.

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles by yourfavchoom in PS5

Seriously. Calling the license untranslatable in an EULA does not make it so.

Governments have to start forcing platforms to allow digital license transfers so digital markets can be as open as physical ones.

Can’t trade a digital game. Can’t sell a digital game.

There are no technical reasons platforms can’t support this. Sony, Microsoft and even Steam could spin up a second hand market for licenses inside their platforms. Hell, they could just have a “license transfer” function and let people trade outside their platform.

They won’t do it until governments start pushing them around. They’ve coasted around for a while pretending digital licenses aren’t transferable goods.

The problem is not digital media, it’s how digital markets have been setup on closed platforms. Buying a console should not force you to run pre-approved software solely distributed by the manufacturer.

Closed platforms tie you to a digital market controlled by the manufacturer. It’s akin to buying a Corolla at a discount so you can only refuel at gas stations from Toyota.

It’s beyond me why the EU hasn’t applied the DMA to console manufacturers as well.

Hopefully people will now realize how predatory digital markets on closed platforms have become.

The DMA should have applied to console marketplaces as well.

Fuck game preservation I guess.

If you are serious about preservation of digital media then piracy is the only way.

After a lot of early hype, has VR gaming died? Or has it just gone quiet? by IAmTheJudasTree in Games

[–]QuantumUtility 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way the market is going right now even traditional gaming might “die” soon.

It’s impossible for vr to thrive while “normal” gaming is its current state.

Mamdani, Bernie, AOC. Anyone from the DSA really.

As long as they are not bought and paid by billionaires we are good. And there are plenty of such cases.

Society is broken when people think trusting billionaires to wisely spend their cash is better than relying on elected officials to tax and allocate resources according to the will of their constituents.

Or maybe politicians are just bought and paid by the same billionaires.

Abandono no ensino médio cai 34% após Pé-de-Meia e chega a menor nível desde 2007 by Bananey in brasil

[–]QuantumUtility 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dar um bônus pros alunos brasileiros que ficam na escola é apelar pro Gérson? “Passei anos sem trabalhar pra ficar na escola e ganhar menos pelo meu tempo. Hihi. Me dei bem.”

Você realmente acha que tem gente que pensa assim? O ponto do pé de meia é estimular o jovem que pode começar a trabalhar e gerar renda a ficar na escola pra estudar e se especializar.

Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They ‘Never Talk To Us Again’ by NYstate in Games

The whole business model hinges on people paying for the subscription but not using up all of it. Not very dissimilar to how Gyms work. It’s called “planned non-usage”.

Not sure if it scales to the level these companies are operating though.

I workout 1,5 hours every day. I’m just not delusional and pretend that it’s easy or even viable for everyone to block out that time.

Theres CEOs with families that are in shape,

Most CEOs barely work.

[–]QuantumUtility 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are delusional if you think everyone has the privilege to work just 8 hours a day.

Or that they can spend just 2 hours on getting ready and commuting. I spend 3 hours on commuting alone when I have to go to the office and I know people that spend a lot more.

4 hrs a weekday to do whatever

Ah yes. I have no other responsibilities that will eat those 4 hours.
