No, but don’t you understand? Tesla is not a car company, it’s an AI company. They were just making cars while developing AI systems. So it’s fine if they stop selling cars. So just keep buying TSLA stock and everything will work out great!

The flip side of that is that instances large and small outside of the influence of the government can do as they please and people can use other means, like VPNs, to access them.

They have literally been doing this with every older game they’ve ever produced. New system? New larger price to play on the new system.

IIRC the original US copyright law as written by the founders was 25 years or so. The extensions on that have all been in the last 70 years or so due to mega corps like Disney.

The problem with Musk and Dorsey is that they want the copyright laws to apply to them but no one else. “Rules for thee but not for me” mentality of the wealthy.

I can honestly see a use case for this. But without backing it up with some form of technical understanding, I think you’re just asking for trouble.

If you are believing what those things are popping out wholesale without double-checking to see if they’re feeding you fever dreams you are an absolute fool.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single statement come out of an LLM that hasn’t had some element of daydreamy nonsense in it. Even small amounts of false information can cause a lot of damage.

What exactly is the benefit of using an LLM? Why would I bother using one at all?

You realize that the only reason Lemmy hasn’t become so enshitified is because the user base is too small for the corpos to seriously target it yet. The day Lemmy has more than a million users the army of bots will not be too far behind.

The OG CEO is from the 1800s so yeah. And yes I’m thinking of Iwata. And look at what was produced during his tenure. That’s the Nintendo everyone is nostalgic about nowadays. 1989 Nintendo was a corporation throwing spaghetti at the wall, 2000’s Nintendo was streamlining the end gamer experience, 2020’s Nintendo is looking for an easy paycheck.

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.

The console is manufactured in Vietnam

Which begs the question of why the console is going to be $100 cheaper for Japanese than anyone else even before you factor in the tariff situation.

Keep telling yourself that. It’s not like you’re dealing with a greedy corporation that has spent the last several years wiping out every alternative platform for playing their older games so that you have no other way to play their titles that they keep jacking the price up on simply because they can.

I have a small laptop that I’m testing this stuff out on before I put together a new computer from parts I ordered before the tariffs took effect.

I had read that Steam on WINE is pretty stable. Is it not?

That’s the thing. It’s 2025. The Switch came out in 2017 and the Switch 2 is barely a step up from the Switch OLED. Which, BTW, isn’t even and option on the Switch 2. And 256 memory? Is that a joke? Plus their new scheme is to not have the games on the physical cartridge but to only have a key code on the cartridge that transfers to the console. And that’s not even looking and the drastically inflated price of the games. Not just new games but all the old ones are priced out at $80 to $90 a piece as well.

Cartridge games for the Switch 2 aren’t even cartridge games anymore, haven’t you heard? There’s no game on the cartridges just a passkey.

The Switch 2 looks like absolute garbage so they can keep it.

My next console purchase with be a Steam Deck.

The critics were right

Goes to prove that LinkedIn is just exactly like every other social media platform despite what many people seem to believe.

There really isn’t one. That’s why they feel that they can do whatever they feel like. They have no real competition for the type of service they offer.
