It is not the only point when it comes to adopting technologies, when it comes to maximizing privacy, yes maximizing privacy is tautologically the only point.

Because it makes the point for a more solid technology as far as privacy is concerned?

They way I uderstand your comment, LTT is big enought so as to negotiate contracts with sponsor without being forced to share the metric related to the performance of the sponsored segment.

I doubt that’s true for many creators.

I’m pretty sure it does, they do see how many people play the segment.

This is your brain on drugs.

America has lots of issues, no need to make things up.

I’ve never experienced it but the somewhat obvious trick is that it turns into a race to the bottom, where if you want to outperform your peers (or even meet the expectations of the company), the number of days off you freely decided to take turns into a KPI.

So, people take even less days off when they are made free to take any amount.

It’s why in Italy, for example, you can not refuse to go to holiday.

My previous point is that League, DOTA 2 and Dota All-Stars (which is where Icefrog comes from, and not from DOTA 2 as the guy maybe believe) are basically the same thing and they all stem from his legacy.

So saying this game is “basically DOTA 2” is, well, a much bigger deal than he seem to realyze.

My point about baseball and polo, was about his distinguishing between the number of watchers and the number of players, which is not relevant because MOBAs are huge no matter how you look at them (like baseball in comparison to polo).

Yes but baseball is bigger than polo no matter how you look at it.

It’s arguably the game that brought e-sports into a new era. Unless you think League would have ever been a thing without dota being invented.

“It feels just like one of the biggest and longer lasting videogame ever crafted by mankind: overhyped.”

As a fan, 20$ is surely the wrong pricepoint for it, unless it’s one of those strategies that I’m seeing popping up more and more about having the dyiehard price followed quickly by a 50% cut (that’s just the reasonalbe expected price).

No, no and… yes.

about a tenth the content

I fucking wish.

I thought that was honestly the joke.

Thanks for the heads up, yea I’m well aware of that, I use it to, well… sync, my phone pictures with my PC.

Supposedly he is also developing another game so yea, this remaster was not on the top of the list. I’m still not happy it sold below expectations because I think it’s a neat game.

I will probably start with this approach and see where it leads me, thanks!

Docker configs, sensitive documents, pictures, a limited amount of video files…

Notwithstanding that running an LLM is still more expensive than a search engine, in any reasoning around running an LLM you must include the training and, most of all, the incentive as a consumer you are giving to further training.

It’s like arguing that cooking a steak has negligible environmental impact. The point is the whole industry meant to provide you the steak in the first place.
