On the subject of treating compute like magic, as the author does:
People who grew up in the iPad generation cannot fathom understanding the intrinsics of anything beyond direct input - > output. For those privileged few, a pez is indistinguishable from a tiktok video, they only go as far as understanding that action - > dopamine. It’s a wild généralisation, but after 10y educating the “elite” is one I cannot refute with the data points I have.
Don’t fall for NVIDIA scams. You’ll own NOTHING. Make Jensen hurt.
You did not describe a copyrightless world, you described academic publishing. On that note, fortunately open access allows the have nots to acquire the same knowledge of the haves. Elabakyan showed how good it could be but the copyright barons had to ruin it for everybody. Furthermore, removal of copyright would curtail the elite’s ability to impose a message on the proletariat.
You just described academic publishing.
👆 this person 100% gets it. Don’t fall for marketing tricks, support an indie game instead.
Just need to find someone to code?
Plenty of music, still think copyright is stupid.
Attribution, 100%, copyright itself is stupid.
Now I extend the same question to you.
Copyright makes no sense. As long as there is a correct citation, it’s kosher as far as I’m concerned.
“This song was originally created by @turdnugget” should be the point of copyright and not the current rent seeking behaviour of the ruling class.
Till employees start Luigging the traitorous heads that sold them out, this will continue to happen. The only things those greedy monkeys understand are wealth and violence. Make the threat of violence ostensibly present when considering selling your staff off in exchange for wealth!
They could have tried making it, I don’t know, good maybe? The writing in the sequel is even more on the nose and the 4th wall breaking stuff was démodé already a decade ago. The companions were annoying and completely underdeveloped. The setting was kind of great so I find it sad that with so much money they barely improved upon the original beyond moar guns and slightly bigger (emptier) maps.
