> who’s trying to find an in stock PS5 for GTA6.

How hard is it really? Is he looking for them abandoned in the street?

Tte ps5 has been in the market for years, it is widely and easily available everywhere.

> They all look and behave better than the old known Linux mail clients.

Linux mail clients tend to look how the desktop toolkit look.

What is wrong with how kmail, Geary, Elementary-mail or Evolution look and behave?

Mail client has been a solved problem for decades already.

Which is also probably an addiction issue too.

Last time I was on a plane I saw a guy who was ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ listening to a movie while playing a game on his phone. I was a bit gobsmacked. While I can enjoy one of these activities at a time, I don't see how one can find enjoyment mixing both.

prmoustache··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
Supposedly like any software company selling their product or a service.

If ad was the only way to get money, there would be no product/service to sell anymore and thus...nothing to advertise. It just cannot work that way.

One doesn't have to finish every game. The point of gaming is first to have a good time doing so.

> That will not work for GTA6 which has an estimated 80-300 hours of gameplay.

This is a limit per month.

I am not sure one could still function socially playing videogames 80h a month. We are reaching addiction/disease level at that point.

Ravaged?

Someone is spending way too much time blindly swallowing extreme right propaganda!

Weird. I can't reproduce the slowness you guys experience with fennec nor ironfox.

Consent or not, most laws allows that anyway. This is the publication that is usually limited and usually only in cases where people can be too easily recognized. These exceptions are a bit vague on purpose so that it is still easy to publish stuff without having to ask every single person you came accross in the street for their consent.

But the world has changed. For instance last year I recognized my father in a travel video published by a youtuber from another continent. You would have thought that it is no big deal if a latin american can record video of people in europe because its target audience is unlikely to recognize anyone. Yet here we are, people nowadays can have relatives, friends and or former colleagues spread all over the globe, or consuming content published online but targetting a public from very far away.

Until now it wasn't a big deal as it was still easy to spot someone recording a video from quite far and move away or hide your face. And we would rely on good old shame and citizen vigilance to spot people recording kids for example. "spy cameras" used to have such a crappy quality you couldn't do anything too bad without getting close and in good light. Now it becomes a bit complicated with these glasses.

You don't need an H200 for that kind of use case.

A cheap second hand 10ish year old card like my radeon rx570 with 8GB of ram is plenty enough to run a small uncensored model with llama.cpp if all one wants is chitchatting with a clanker.

We are not talking about heavy coding use cases here.

The elephant in the room that the article nor the comments address is the credit and debt culture in North America and lack of regulation around it.

Gambling is a bad addiction but the long term impact is much lower if you can't possibly spend more money in this addiction. How in hell can someone accumulate 75k$ of debt through credit cards and loans spent in gambling. No financial institution should be allowed to open a second credit card account or loan to someone who hasn't shown ability to timely reimburse its current debt.

prmoustache··on Shimano Bicycle Museum Review
While at the very lowest end of the spectrum some of what we call bikes are really bicycle shape objects, you don't need an expensive bike to have a good time on the bike.

While on holidays, I once rented what looked to be a very cheap alu road bike, with the lowest end shimano transmission, heavy wheels and low end tires. My regular road bike at the time was a Festka custom road bike whose total price would have been north of 8k€ with much more gears and gear range, better brakes, super supple tubular tires. Yet I had the time of my life on that cheap rental bike. You said it, you were a teenager. It was the right bike for you at the right time of your life and it was probably even easier for you to enjoy it if you didn't have any point of comparison.

The actual ride matters much more than the actual bike one is riding it on. People tend to obsess too much on equipment in the cycling word, even more so these days when online cycling medias are constantly reminding peoole how much watts them would save by using this over that.

Shimano never sold complete bikes.

You probably owned one of these retail store bikes who were often plastered with various shimano stickers for being equipped with their cheapest tourney transmission.

There is a dedicated museum in Sakai as well apparently:

Is that how people define who is black, asian, AIAN, hispanic, or white in the USA?

I believe that no, and that they are categorized by ticking choice in a form. This is instutionalized racism but people in the USA have it so internalized since childhood they can't seem to be able to understand it.

And people expect to have a decently working release from day1?

Not a big player myself, and I mostly play older game I can buy for less than $15 but every single time I have heard about a big game launch in the last decade, the games were released in early beta quality, crippled with bugs according to the tests and news.

People are downvoting because the tone is a bit harsh but he has a point.

While TV has been a thing for a long time, content was limited, and more importantly curated. You couldn't manage your own playlists/subscriptions and almost infinite content on subjects that interest you.

Video games were mostly for kids.

There were no social media feeds optimize to monopolize your attention and make you doomscroll.

Hey even having a TV/widescreen at home has a direct impact on couples sex life...which magically reactivate when the light goes out.

The internet is wonderful for many things but nobody can denies it has an impact on our in person social life.
