Well, the author of the Cyberpunk universe is Mike Pondsmith, who’s American and the game setting is in the US.

I guess you live in a country with loads of spare IP addresses. Here in the UK they change every few days and IPs get rotated between all ISPs, so you can’t even deduct which ISP I’m using. And sometimes my IP is not even a mainland UK IP, but some weird shit from across the world, because Empire, lol.

Your IP changes all the time, it doesn’t matter. The best someone can deduct from your IP is the country.

Again, No Man’s Sky is an example where nothing is sacrificed.

While there are many fans of pixel art and low poly 3D, majority of gamers actually want high fidelity graphics. There are very few indie success stories with low quality VFX like Stardew Valley and pretty much no AAA games like that. Games like No Man’s Sky won’t be such hits if they were made in pixel art.

The reality is that it’s not that games with good graphics are bad, it’s that you can’t afford RTX4090 and a QD OLED 4K monitor. There are plenty of great games with awesome graphics, it’s time for you to upgrade.

It’s not a proof, it’s an exception.

Tankies are modding many communities here as well. The solution is to fight them tooth and nail.

If you want to run Ollama and other ML stuff, you’re looking at buying an RTX4090, my friend. Affordable and ML are two things you can’t put into one sentence.

I have four Raspberry Pi 4 running, so that’s 15W max each or 60W max total. Usually they consume much much less.

I trialled the self hosted NextCloud for a while, but the quality of apps is just meh. So instead I bought a Synology NAS. Turned out their apps are actually on par with Google. And you own everything.

I don’t like defederation, but these clowns are asking for it for a very long time.

For the same reason big companies buy out smaller and failing companies.

That’s not socialism, that’s capitalism. When some entity, be it a private person, another company or government, buys out your company, it’s not your company anymore. But there’s no capitalism in the US, so you get what you get.

The same should be true for people - no more benefits and social housing, straight into labour camps!

Look, mate, I’ve contributed to many many open source projects over the last two decades. Including Klipper if we’re talking about 3D printing. FreeCAD is a piece of shit. It’s just a fact.

FreeCAD is a ridiculous mess. The only way forward for the project is to dump the code base and start from scratch.

I used to hear all these sounds, but I’m 40 now so I don’t hear them anymore.

I’m getting disappointed in F360 as well, but existing open source alternatives are pure cancer. Basically, I’ve started making my own open source CAD. Hope to release some basic POC in a month or two.

Good!

Again, it might be news for you, but it’s a huge business with many layers. There are plenty of professional rippers and crackers who earn a living one way or another. There are plenty of underground translators and streamers. Ads, hostings, seed boxes, TV boxes, different partnerships - there’s a lot of money flowing.

Just go to any public tracker and you will see ads. Download some subtitles and they often contain ads as well. And then you have partnerships like targeted attacks on software developers, etc. Then there are normies who are getting scammed into buying pirated content for full retail price by physical media vendors. All kinds of handy people who will install you a dish to receive pirated satellite TV “for free”.
