No die, is funni
No die, is funni
Wait until you hear of a little state called Arkansas.
The “this would never happen to me” mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.
I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.
Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.
“Of course it can’t be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them.”
I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It’s a huge deal.
The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it’s not only traditional advertising but viral and “astroturfed” advertising.
That’s a strange hill to die on. I mean sure I will also never buy this game but with inflation it’s just a matter of time.
I would much rather have a higher initial cost with no macro transactions in game.
Depends on the author.
Yup it is contrary to normal economic principles, read up on luxury goods and in particular veblen goods and how price finding works there.
In the end humans are not at all times rational. There is no homo economicus. Economics is as much math as it is a social study.
And with crowd strike we have seen how reliable Antivirus is.
Of topic: At least in Germany the work title “engineer” is protected. You need to have studied a technical degree in at least a 3 year program at a recognized university. Just a fun fact.
I am definitely on the hope side of things. Lemmy has extreme potential for growth. Just not explosive fast growth. I believe the strength of Lemmy could be “natural” growth as the threat of the platform going downhill is smaller.
A few libraries come to mind immediately: fftw (I think the most widely used fft library) or GMP (I think the most used multi precision library).

I mean if your goal is to normalize this then this is the way to go.
It is click bait. Textbook click bait
Ohh that’s what was meant. I thought it was about some document before reading your comment.
Ahh yes the country of Europe…
Google takeout is the best gdpr compliant platform of all the big tech giants. Amazon for example lets you wait until the very last day they legally can.
Also they do minimal processing like with the metadata (as others commented) as it is probably how they internally store it and that’s what they need to deliver. The simple fact that you can select what you want to request and not having to download everything about you makes it good in my eyes.
I actually see good faith compliance with the gdpr in the Plattform
Why the heck did nobody yet develop an alternative like we’ve seen with SimCity/City skylines?!
They would make so much money and fuck EA.
