PC gaming is not here to stay. One day, someone, will finally do a cloud /saas streaming solution which works, which solves the latency and fidelity issues and which will be accepted and trusted by the masses.

Hopefully that will be a Valve solution. Not Nvidia, MS, Google or Sony.

From that moment on the client will not matter anymore and you will just stream it to your device and from there cast it to your big screen.

Hopefully I’m full of shit and this will never happen. But I’m afraid I’m not.

This is not a hurdle, its a nuisance at best. It’s stupid though.

That would be super awesome. It would be a master move for all involved. Sign me up.

Let’s see what max can do with the merc. Lets see if alonse still has it. Lets see stroll getting demolished by yuki.

I just cant wait for the: “bono my fucking tites are gone…” or another simply lovely max meltdown.

Why the downvotes: because you’re clearly the asshole. Or isn’t this /amitheasshole?

Yes, older people have views from the past. That’s because they are older people. Yes, older people bitch and whine. That’s because friends and spouses are dead by now, they feel alone and forgotten. Yes, older people are not always nice. That’s because things you don’t even think about, like putting on clean socks or taking a shit by yourself have become hard, for some even impossible to do on their own and/or without pain leaving them with a feeling of loss and even regret for living that long.

On top of that they’re literally waiting to die. And let’s not forget dementia.

Now, maybe your granny is younger like 60 something, but still…

Your response to the situation lacks a lot of empathy and respect. Without this person you wouldn’t be sitting there, scrolling through anime titties you clearly like just not always.

And lastly: you will be her in 40-60 years. (i don’t know how old you are) You will be alone, your body will falter, your (grand) children will be uninterested in you. Etc.

There is stuff worth pirating, stuff which can’t be found through other means or is way overpriced. Stuff like old movies or impossible to legally gather roms.

For all others: “convenience is king.”

And you’re smart to not pirate software. The. “no illegal software” rule has saved me many times.

Yeah, no.

The hunt is only fun if you’ve got time to spare.

Throw in a spouse, kids, good but demanding job, a place to live, social obligations, detoriating (geriatric) parents, and you’re so happy you can just mash one single button and your favourite track, game or series starts to play.

That’s the reason why people stop pirating. Time.

When time is not (yet) your most precious resource you can see the fun in anything. Even virus scanning.

“eat the rich” “destroy the institutions”

Etc… That’s not left. Insinuating killing it destroying societies is, by definition, anarchist.

Socialism, Communism are about change, not control or jealousy.

“slightly”.

That’s being very nice. The correct word would be anarchist.

Pretty much a thing in NL and afaik also BE.

T mobile NL, 5G capped at 22GB. Cost: 20 euro.

35 euro in NL wl give you t mobile unlimited which is capped at 15 GB per day. Other providers charge more or less the same.

@home internet 1up/down GB fiber 45 euro. No datacap.

No need to apologise for anything bud, this is the Internet where Linus rants daily! We all do!

I understand you’re fed up with all the sync bs. I just think we have to try to turn this in/to a way everybody gets better from it.

The reddit refugees are happy because “this feels just like home”, they(we) don’t care it’s 20 bucks!

The og Foss crowd grumpingly :) accepts the higher amount of contributions which stems from that. (this is the point we’ve to drive home to ljdawson(sync dev)

And we all benefit because the fediverse grows and keeps growing, more content, more everything. Shiny beautiful future, end to war and world hunger, beginning of a new era where humanity reaches for the stars or dies because of a rogue AI or because of a runaway greenhouse effect.

Wait. No, not those last ones. It should have a happy ending.

Anyway: Everybody is happy. More or less. :) *for a while. *

Did somebody asked your opinion?

No. But here we are. Reading about the “sync cult” whatever that is.

So… Let’s extend that courtesy to everyone, all right?

Because a “nobody asked about your opinion” stance is a sure fire way to end any discussion platform. Like lemmy.

What I do think that Mr. Dawson should do is direct a percentage of that sweet sync income at lemmy.world and the lemmy devs. That would end or at least lessen this discussion.

Nice write up. But: what’s the gain for meta? Embrace, extend, extinguish is what you do to competition. Don’t forget meta is a Corp. Corps do things for money. All I see in your example is a cash drain. Corps don’t do cash drains. By joining the fediverse they get all that sweet content… For free. No hosting. No administration, just… Content. That’s the best deal ever for any data firm.

I do see plusses for meta so my take is: embrace? Yes. Extend? Yes. Extinguish? No visible upside, just downsides. So no.

This is no Microsoft in the 90s. Meta’s product is data. Not office suites or an OS. Why pay for data when the fediverse provides you that for free?

They want more. Not less.
