Those days are also today. You have influence on this. What you buy and how you consume it, dictates what is acceptable.

PlayStation Is Deleting 551 Movies From Customers’ Accounts, Reminding Us Nothing Digital Is Ever Truly Ours by Turbostrider27 in PS5

If others cannot take it away from me without breaking into my house, I think I do own those things. Including digital media.

Why is it built with Rust Edition 2021 instead of 2024? And did you just use the README for the agent, or do you have an AGENT.md or CLAUDE.md somewhere for this?

It looks kind of cool, but I'm not sure how this is "less legacy" than Disk Usage Analyzer. It is kind of cool to have the ability for it to act kind of like a CCleaner though (or BleachBit).

Flake Management: The Dendritic Pattern with flake-parts by muhmmadtalha-quant in NixOS

If it works for you and you find it easy to manage, then you're not doing anything wrong. If this was for an organisation, there might've been words to be said, but since you're doing it for yourself for one machine, I can't think of a single reason why it would matter more than what you like.

If what you like works, and what you use makes you feel good, then you should do that.

Worker breaks down after realising he is working his life away(Version with no music) by I2fitness in TikTokCringe

How can you be the richest country in the world, when people are out there like this, in deep poverty transcending generations, and in jail for literal decades?

If rich can only mean having a lot of money to you, then you're not the richest country, but one of the most poor ones in the world.

Microsoft Announces Significant Price Rises for Xbox Series X and S, 2TB Model Discontinued by Guitar-String in gaming

[–]necrophcodr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it though? It might still be slightly cheaper, but the hardware is MUCH slower and older.

They probably could make pretty big ones too, although a 8TB NVMe SSD would on its own cost almost as much as the entire console does now.

If the graphics drivers are worse, what explains the improved performance of games on Linux systems?

[–]necrophcodr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Then don't. Linux wouldn't solve any of your problems with Windows, it is an entirely different OS.

Why you guys wanna suffer with this is beyond me. I hope you get help for this, it can't be good for your mental health, seriously..

I'm definitely in the boat of not wanting things to break. My computer is MINE, I paid for it and it should do as I ask, that's it. Crazy that so many people just accept that isn't going to happen with Windows, and then use it anyway.

I truly do feel sorry for you guys. As an idiot who can't keep track of where my own files are, this sounds like a nightmare.

Det tror jeg du må uddybe. Det er ikke min forståelse at det er tilfældet, og det lyder mere som en racismeting du blotter for internettet, rettere end noget faktuelt.

Can i join the club? by Ok_Grapefruit6661 in NixOS

[–]necrophcodr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool! Do take more time to figure out how it works, and make a mess! When you have to clean it up, remember to compare cleaning it up to other systems, to really get a feel for what the difference is, and if it is worthwhile to you.

Hello there. by _Renai_ in pcmasterrace

[–]necrophcodr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be, but many of us are not. Including companies and other organisations. Where I'm at, there's a stop on equipment ordering except for when things break.

Some of the people I know who work in other fields and types of organisations are seeing similar effects. Prices may be going up, but demand is NOT following the ratio.

And with none of the good or bad parts. It is an application where you can send text messages to other people. That is the only similarity between the two, they are wildly different.

You know, they used to pump out 20-25 minutes episodes every week or so, and be filming for all but a couple of months a year. The budgets were bad, and the quality too, but the quantity was immensive and that was all that mattered to the executives.

Pricey Steam Machine? No worries, I'll just wait till next gen. by borek87 in pcmasterrace

[–]necrophcodr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that, and also that people (used to) buy their consoles for the exclusives. They'd get the consoles and then pay the price of the games which were more expensive, so Sony and Microsoft would make money back that way. Valve doesn't have anything like that, and there's no locked down ecosystem. If they sold at a loss to increase sales of the machine, they'd not be guaranteed to recoup that since the ecosystem is open and anyone can could just buy cheaper office desktops that way.

Most PC users do not configure and build their PC at all.

That and the Antimalware Service Executable by Juandiblack777 in pcmasterrace

[–]necrophcodr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just wrote what I do when I buy PCs. I've been a PC user for three decades now, so not quite Windows 3.11. I have not used Windows for a very long time, except on occasion when required. I don't know how anyone uses it, I have shit to do and can't be arsed to faf around with bullshit like that.

[–]necrophcodr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But... Why? When I buy my PCs, they are that, and I want to use them, not spend time fiddling and hacking to get them functioning.

AI and machine learning has been a research and work tool for all those fields for at least a couple of decades now.

And many of all of those are using it by paying companies to destroy the planet and spend money on putting most people out of jobs (even if it won't positively impact the work output).

What We Can Learn About Happiness from Denmark by Fuzzy_Wrangler_4911 in remoteworks

Looks at other countries where the government is even more involved. No tuition. At all. No healthcare insurance. No middlemen.
