Could we sabotage the LLM training so the data became worthless?

Like adding to our comments stuff like “2+2=5” “Abraham Lincoln discovered America” and whatever silly statement you can think of

making value judgements on other poor people for being poor is not okay

luckyly for me, I’m not doing that

I’m not rich, I know what I’m talking about. When I’m going to spend money I have to look the best way to spend it, which is the best “invest”. Being wasteful is an luxury I personally can’t afford.

No, if you are poor you learn to value every cent and not being wasteful, if you have common sense, of course

I’d say it’s more expensive to lack common sense

It’s still less expensive than a PC hobby

just with the sales and free online/cloudsaves PCs are cheaper in the long run

And mods are an added value, we can even include fanmade patches that fix what developers don’t into that added value

Consumers don’t have much say in what these companies do or how they operate.

Yes, they do. Microsoft tried to incorporate Xbox live onto PC and it was a failure because PC consumers didn’t bought it

The same goes with paid mods, Valve and Bethesda tried to make people buy mods and it was rejected by the consumer so the have to backtrack.

Consumers have all the power in their wallet they decide what course the companies take. If a company does something that goes against your interests as consumer is as easy as stop giving them money, if you hurt them economically, they’ll have to go back to the business model that gave them profits (this works only if the average consumer is intelligent enough to protect their own interest/rights)

It’s too late. Just because you stopped paying for Xbox live does not means Microsoft is going to make it free.

People should not have accepted pay for online play but since is widespread, it’s too late to revert it

basic tier for those of us who just want online play and cloud save

That should be free. It’s when people should have started boycotting Sony (and Microsoft and Nintendo) now it’s just too late

Neither the DS nor the 3DS flopped, on the contrary. the DS was the most sold console in the world

And it gave us new experiences, new ways to play and also made some stuff better (like having extra info, like maps, information or access to the inventory, having that meant you didn’t need to pause the game)

There’s no way Nintendo abandons the removable joycons.

Nintendo abandoned the dual screen, and that was an incredible feature, I totally see them abandoning removable controllers

To have access to those “free games” you have to pay first, so how come they are free when they are asking money for them?

Free is this:

No payments required and you keep it forever

I’m not a console owner, are PlayStation owners really giving Sony $60 a year to play online multiplayer?

It all started with the Xbox, since people did not questioned it and received it with open arms the others (Sony and Nintendo) just copied it. It’s just matter of time we end up paying on PC too

I miss playing good shooters since the PS360 era, way before the battle royale genre entered the game.

It’s when the genre exploded on consoles and it was when the genre was overly simplified and dumbed down

Before, some multiplatform FPS changed between the PC version and the console version. The console versions often had maps changed or even completely removed (and enemies where altered too) because they where too much for a controller

AAA PC exclusive titles also have the right to exists.

I miss playing good first person shooters…

The first game in ages where it actually feels like the company/ developers actually put in effort and released a complete product

I miss the time when this was common

Zero Divide
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Bloody Roar 2
Rival Schools
Soul Edge/Soul Blade
Tekken 3
Guilty Gear XX (^Core+R is the most recent one, there are like 6 different versions)
Ehrgeiz (this one have several minigames and an action RPG mode that involves a lot of dungeon crawling)

I saw similar thing in EndeavourOS

Yeah, is the OS I installed this time. Mint did not did that, at least 10 years ago, but I wanted to try a different distro.

So, is not a trend for all distros? Maybe I’ll try a different one next time. I want to stay as close to Arch as possible (but I’m scared of Arch itself) because SteamOS is based on Arch so maybe I’ll install Manjaro next

I can’t comment on the ‘cherry on top’ one without more details.

I still have it installed (I’m pissed/frustrated and still have not made the reinstall), I check from time to time if an update fix it, but no luck to this day

I had the opposite experience recently

I was into Linux back then when Valve launched TF2 for Linux (this was in 2013) in the end I broke Linux Mint (I don’t know how but it stopped loading) so I said Fuck it and returned to Windows, after all I wanted to play all games, not only TF2

Recently I wanted to return to Linux since gaming is finally a thing and I had to constantly fix stuff…

-First of all If I changed between windows and linux, the motherboard clock was constantly changing. I had to fix it

-KeepassXC (the browser extension) could not connect with KeepassXC for some reason their windows counterparts worked flawlessly

-KDE somehow look uglier and less customizable than the KDE from 10 years ago

-The system tray kinda sucks

-Having the programs to run at system start up does not always works by changing the settings (you have to put a shortcut in a special folder)

-I never managed to make KDE connect to work properly(I connected my phone and Linux, but I never managed to receive the phone notifications on the PC)

-The OS was asking me to restart after every boot almost daily because it got updated (back then Linux asking for a reboot was a rare sight)

-and the cherry on top, one day the software stopped working and I did nothing weird. I could not use KeepassXC, nor steam, nor blender, etc… I asked for help first here and then on the official OS forums and nobody could find a fix other than “delete everything and reinstall the OS”. Is something I could do, but is a pain in the ass. I’ll have to fix everything that I already fixed again, I’ll start receiving security emails because someone logged into my accounts (yeah, me, from linux), I’ll have to configure everything again, etc…

I’ll like to get rid of windows for ever, but is not easy
