So because you do it correctly, everyone else should get fucked or what? Like, you know how many people have bad parents?

So, congrats, your kids won’t suffer from that (or maybe they will once they have their own money because the path way of “spend a $1, get an in-game item, get an instant rush of feel-good hormones” is forming even with moderation). But other kids may, unless of course you think that it’s somehow their fault they have shitty parents.

So no, I really don’t want this around kids whose lives will be ruined just so your kids can have a fun time (which they can have in other ways, including other games).

Nah, I’m obsessed with corporations not ruining kids lives just to get few more dollars.

Also, please, stop putting words into other people’s mouths.

Cool, that’s why half the games you listed are just gambling machines in disguise?

Ah, the classic “world hunger is a myth, I have eaten today.”

I’m not saying there are not the rare gems in mobile games (just bought Don’t Starve on Android last month!), but like 99% of games for mobile are just s money making scheme using dark patterns to influence your brain to give them money.

And congrats on not spending on micro transactions! You do realize the world doesn’t revolve around how your perceive things, right? If young people are exposed to micro transactions like that, it alters their brains and not in a good way. And that’s science, there really isn’t much you can argue with.

Because the games are intentionally made with micro transactions as the main feature.

Like, if you play Witcher or Control or whatever, the focus is on you enjoying the game. If you play Fortnite, the main focus is on getting you pay. The game is probably still fun, but every single thing in the game is meant to make you pay.

Who would’ve thunk, young people with brains that are not fully developed tend to prefer games with addictive elements.

If it fits, great! If it doesn’t, you didn’t use enough tape.

Only the $550 version. The cheaper one will work on best effort basis Manjaro edition.

Not sure what your comment relates to? I was just pointing out they added the option to the default interface.

They added it to the default interface. At least for admins, not sure about mods.

Ah, Chad McTruth himself on my little instance! My life is finally complete.

That’s probably your social bubble. My company is currently deepthroating everything that has AI in its name. I jokingly mentioned they should rename the company to Jira&AI, the joke was not well received.

Anyway, most people I know (including me) are somewhere in the middle - not quite fans in the traditional sense, but definitely not disliking AI.

I don’t think so, no. Though I’m not up-to-date on the latest Lemmy UI changes, so they might have added it. But as far as I’m aware, it can’t be done without 3rd party tools.

Nothing changed, it was always possible, there might not have been the tooling, but it was always possible through the api.

They still don’t. The analysts do and the programmers then implement it based on specifications.

Did you live under the impression that all the smart missiles, smart guns, smart everything didn’t already require programmers?

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).

I remember those times, too (well, some 99.9%, there are still the few issues I never found solution to).

But these times are long past, search engines suck nowadays.

I mean, not the least important, it is an important part. But way less than a common person thinks.

True, I use some local model by Jetbrains that only completes a single line and that’s my sweet spot, it usually guesses the line well and saves me some time without forcing me to read multiple lines of code I didn’t write.
