@crashmymind it's fair man, if you're a doomer then people are gonna avoid you. Figure out how to work through that and try to bring those around you the good times. You manifest the things around you so if you're being a depresso espresso, you're gonna push people away
@render_sir@king_of_games34 Between "you buy the game and you can never be a f2p again" and "Oh you also have to buy the game on MacOS if you want to also play on your mac" on top of playstation, xbox, and now nintendo being additional purchases (and sub for nintendon't) it's insane. Also, share sub w/ XI
@TheTricksterVT Is it shitty? Absolutely. That's how people protect their revenue streams. If Artist X charges you $5000 for a project and gives you the source, nothing stops you from going to bid other artists to pay 20% of that next time. Their work continues to drive your profit without them.
@TheTricksterVT You as a business can buy a website from a company, but that doesn't necessarily mean you get the website source code. You have to discuss and price in the full ownership of the software. Same goes for anything else, and just like with a lot of bespoke apps, you pay for updates
@FateFalse@Player174924 I could if it means you start actually enjoying the game vs being sour at the talent running out every random queue you join lmao
@IsaacKing314 Harm... to who? Corporations that geo-restrict content? ISPs who want to give you the slowest route to your destination to save on bandwidth? Not sure who's being harmed here
@Gaming_Birch@Rainmaker1973 Yeah even if this guy is spending an hour a day, that's 5 hours, and at $1000/hr shop labor + mats, there's no way this is more than 5-6k total. Adding a 3x markup on this at a minimum sheesh
@moefosho95@maplekeurig@Kendrillion64 If I am building a computer for a friend or an associate of a friend, I'll generally give it to them for what it takes to build it + my time. If I'm building PCs for a company, they're paying 30-50% more. They're profiting off of that machine, this is how capitalism works
@aemonmusk@SouthDallasFood So there are a handful of amazing white chefs, great. but english-based white people generally can't cook for shit. Meanwhile, the majority of ethnic races cook, and cook super well as a whole. A poor mexican family's rice n beans beats chicken nuggets in flavor every time
@bsoemo@1337hero@plex Yeah but they paywalled a core feature that's always existed just because they can (like they did with hardware transcode). You don't know about the alternatives or don't care about them because your setup works... till it doesn't or it starts asking you for money
@snoooopy8382@1337hero@plex why should you even have to do this shit? You should be able to just connect to your stuff (if you're willing to expose your plex server to the internet). It sucks because you can't do things like use android auto while using a vpn app, so this disables the option anyway
@1337hero@plex I swapped to jellyfin once Plex locked hardware transcoding behind a paywall also. Jellyfin + jellyseerr is such a powerful combo, I'm never going back
