I look forward to the future WiiUWiiU 🚨!

Maybe I am just an old nostalgic fart but I have games that I own that are over 30 years old that I still have access to and regularly play and that’s how I like it.

I personally don’t at all see any benefit to the consumer that subscription based gaming provides. Arguably you can access more games for less money, but if video streaming is anything to go by (increased prices, less content across more and more services, ads creeping back in etc), that value proposition won’t last long.

I don’t think there are that many bots here because of [reason 1], [reason 2], and [reason 3].

And I for one am certainly not a “goes against OpenAI use policy".

I am a plastic digesting mega organism apparently!

excuse some people make to justify paying for it

…

console users want to justify using a console

Well that escalated quickly.

Why not just use a QR code scanner that shows you the link before you browse to it?

We must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

Devs have gotten lazy

You mean projects no longer factor in the time or prioritise this kind of optimisation, right?

I find it hilarious that you think people who use health trackers “need” them to get fit, rather than being a source of personal data that helps improve how you manage your diet and exercise.

You could pretty much reduce any use of modern software to that kind of comment. E.g. I find it halarious that people need spellcheck to write things correctly.

I have never used boost for Reddit but I am posting from it right now and first impressions are IT IS AWESOME! An easy ad free purchase from me!

Unfortunately there’s still two small communities that have no presence on Lemmy for me, so I still occasionally visit reddit - but only in read only mode!

A lot of people posting that the threat of theft or interference will put a halt to drone delivery, but I wonder if that will really be a problem when looking at the the return on investment. A lot of people have said similar things about self service checkouts but industry keeps pushing on.

The cost of drone delivery will shrink dramatically over time (labour and energy being the two big ones) especially if you compare it to equivalent service levels (e.g. same day delivery) so much so that companies would likely easily absorb the costs - if it all works of course.

Is it really that different to the vrooming of cars that we have grown accustomed to?

HA, I read the title and thought “what is going on? I love my seat warmers” - I completely overlooked the word subscription because it is absolutely absurd that there would be an ongoing cost to the consumer for a feature that provides no ongoing cost to the manufacturer.

“If our F-DLC coating were adopted globally, it would noticeably curtail carbon emissions and water usage for the existing power infrastructure”

There are clearly benefits to increasing the efficiency of the steam cycle, but I feel like for 2% this is a bit of an overstatement.

What did I just watch? And why do I feel like I need it in my life??

a + b = c;

My code is so good at mimicking the human brain that it can do basic arithmetic!

If the stats are accurate then this is not necessarily due to people being unhappy and leaving as both comments and posts are still stable - indicating that the lower active count are lurkers, duplicates or otherwise non engaging accounts.

That said, you can come up with statistics to prove anything! Forfty percent of all people know that.

This article has serious “not the onion” vibes!

The article suggests otherwise:
