The "full spectrum of pricing", from ludicrous to overpriced to straight up exorbitant.
These guys have no idea how many bloody full price AAA games I have on my backlog and I have said, with considerable gravity, that I guess I'll get to them later. In a few years maybe. We'll see.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as wheel, is in fact, GNU/Wheel, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus wheel.
Legends say that if you put your source code file in Grok, it'll print out the code and it'll land on Elon's desk.
Elon will browse through it and pretend to understand it, then tweet out insults and emojis and says you're fired. Even though you were never employed by him anyway.
...if you haven't played Sid Meier's Alpha Centari before, I have to say this does frequently lead to conflicts later on.

Michelangelo: "Oh no! DUCK!"
Leonardo: "...you made me look stupid, didn't you?"
Of course this gets a lot more grim when you realise the grass had to be sliced to put under the microscope.
So they sliced a smiling organism and captured the expression at the moment of death.
I know I'm supposed to be strong, but I'm shedding tears. 😢
The technology side of generative AI is fine. It's interesting and promising technology.
The business side sucks and the AI companies just the latest continuation of the tech grift. Trying to squeeze as much money from latest hyped tech, laws or social or environmental impact be damned.
We need legislation to catch up. We also need society to be able to catch up. We can't let the AI bros continue to foist more "helpful tools" on us, grab the money, and then just watch as it turns out to be damaging in unpredictable ways.
(Please don't lob rocks at me. I love Python.)
I'm unemployed. A few years ago, the Finnish government introduced a requirement that all job seekers must submit up to 4 applications per month. (This was stupid from both the applicant and recruitment perspective. They did this anyway. Oh, companies just get swamped by applications? :surprised_pikachu:)
Then I started hearing news that major companies are screening applications based on AI analysis. And then I attended one job applicant event where one of the sessions was literally "using ChatGPT to write a cover letter".
I'm in software development. I don't expect to be employed again anytime soon. (Unless I bullshit my way to some AI job using ChatGPT, but hey, I have a few vestiges of morality left.)
Ah yes, Klarna. The proof that not everything is all right with Sweden. Proof that Nordic countries, too, are capable of incredibly dark things. ...Do I need to continue?
Plus I cloned my Wii's NAND so I have all of the Virtual Console games and savegames, and I also dumped all of my GameCube memory cards and put everything to the Dolphin memory cards images.
Everything is cool and future-proof now!Highly recommend doing this if you have a working Wii - just install Homebrew Channel and CleanRip.
Notepad had one job. Operate on a damn text file. Operate on the damn text files I choose.
I knew it was going down the drain when I reopened Notepad and it opened the files that were previously open. No. Don't do that. That's overly helpful. You were only supposed to operate on the damn files I chose. These files I'm about to work with aren't necessarily the files I previously worked on. If I want this functionality I might as well open it in vscode.
I'm, like, screw it, might as well keep Emacs running if I need random temporary text editing.
I was, like, w-what CVE program. I don't know of any "CVE" programs that could be shut down, so I don't know what that abbreviation refers to.
Unless...
...oh no. Fuck. The actual CVE program? And they're just gonna- Shit.
What.
How.
I don't know how many times I've said "America is fucked" when reading the news lately, and I should stop doing that, because that fact has now been so well established that there's no need to elaborate.
No offence to folks who like Mario games, but I don't personally feel good playing them. They have a working class protagonist who works to maintain monarchic status quo (fighting evil kingdom to defend another kingdom). Also the games encourage violence toward turtles. Not cool in my books.
Anyway, jokes aside, I'm not getting a Switch 2 anytime soon, will probably get a Steam Deck before that.
Ah, Julius Streicher. I barely had heard of him when I read about the Nuremberg trials. Dude was a propagandist. And they hanged him. He was literally edgelording until his last breath.
At first I was like "well, the other guys they hanged literally oversaw genocide, but this guy was a propagandist. Kinda harsh punishment for a propagandist. Wonder why?"
But now that I've watched the online hate pipeline run it's course for a while and do its thing, I kinda get it.
I'm advocating harsh bans for the birdsite royalty, and if they don't volunteer for that, maybe they should be put somewhere where they can be monitored to not propagandise. Not advocating for death penalty, it's categorically wrong.
Well technically oxygen isn't scarce, it's just that the atmospheric density is too low to support continued human habitation. Wait, literally speaking oxygen molecules are more scarce. Don't do this to me, language no longer works that far up in the mountains. I'm no mountaineer, I don't know know how to make it work, maybe these experts can
