Also chinese conglomerate tencent is the 2nd largest shareholder of epic (35%), after Tim Sweeney at 41%.

Major platforms have to be legislated to tightly control which ads they run.

or maybe which age groups are allowed to see them?

that’s like hatin’ on a free drinks and cheeseburgers after smoking the cheeba.

no, that’s Jellyfin. hatin on plex is like hatin on mcdonalds.

still missing the point. we’re not talking about a couple comments here or there.

the article is about people who showed a clear pattern of doing it way more than others.

i think you have no idea what survivor bias is because it has nothing to do with anything here.

no one wants plex’s shitty streaming crap.

And artificial intelligence is still not basic programming.

conditional and logical expressions have been the foundation of computing since the very beginning. you are using a definition of “AI” that is completely divorced from that history.

No, it’s a computer making a computation. The programmer is the one using intelligence by choosing the appropriate computation for the situation at hand.

Perhaps our most striking result was finding an entire class of Reddit users whose primary purpose seems to be to disagree with others. These users specifically seek out opportunities to post contradictory comments, especially in response to disagreement, and then move on without waiting for replies.

Read the article. It’s not about normal run of the mill disagreement. It’s about:

yeah i recently stopped watching sports for similar reasons. cancelling the $84/month youtubetv sub and getting back hours and hours of my life every week. gonna try to learn drums or something.

exactly, if you want to be an ethical consumer you’d need to be a hermit.

yeah that was my point.

no worries guys, we can just go buy the american-made competitor with no tariffs.

you can’t use straight 1:1 inflation to infer what the contemporary cost should be of digital products like video games, movies, tv shows, music etc. There is no physical asset to tie the individual product value to. There are of course production costs, but those are the same whether you make 50 copies or 50 million.

The reason inflation hasn’t hit video game prices is because the video game market has grown exponentially since the 90s. They make more money by selling low margin at higher volume, compared to high margin and low volume. It’s all about maximizing that total profit, not individual sales.

Publishers can try to charge more, but it’ll be up to consumers if that actually gets them any more money overall. only time will tell.

i mean as a core feature of a watch/smartwatch in general. garmin is going above and beyond compared to the competition in that area, and that’s great. But that doesn’t mean every other smartwatch manufacturer arbitrarily locking traditional watch features behind paywalls.

and yeah apple does fitness themed commercials for apple watch because it does help with fitness a ton out of the box. just not specifically guided workouts.

that’s more like an added perk from garmin. I’d hardly consider workout plans a core feature of a watch.

yes and i don’t think it’s limited to politics either.
