Turns out free speech costs 40% more now

People continue to buy it, so they will continue selling it. On top of that, gaming isn’t even their biggest market, so we stopped, it wouldn’t put a dent into their business.

It’s a big shame though

Twitch is garbage, so you moved to a platform ran by a gambling company, where rules practically don’t exist, and the majority of the userbase is vehemently sexist and racist? That’s a level of mental gymnastics I genuinely will never understand

It’ll continue being 200$ per ram upgrade tier for as long, as people continue buying it. That’s the unfortunate reality of things

The entire Gitkraken suite used to be free before 2016. The free tier you get now is a severely crippled version of what it used to be.

Not everything is a conspiracy, just so you understand

I miss when Gitkraken used to be free. They nickel and dimed every feature they possibly could have

This really isn’t a good comparison at all. One gives you a list of choices you can make, and the other gives you a blind answer.

If seeing what argument types the function takes make me a worse engineer, so be it, I guess

Anything that allows people to blindly and effortlessly get results inherently makes them more stupid. Your brain is like any muscle. You need to repeatedly use it for it to work well

Their general point of view is definitely not wrong.

When it comes to music, I’ve had a good time using Reaper for casual guitar recording, however a bunch of my plugins struggle horrible with Yabridge. A lot of this stuff has online per-system drm these days, namely anything from NeuralDSP, so that often puts it to a halt

It really just depends on what you do, and how you do it.

A formula-1 car is not for normies, but a regular car is. Same principle applies here. My tech illiterate mom has Fedora on her laptop, and she finds it considerably more intuitive to use, than her previous Windows installations

I suspect that in the worst case scenario, i’ll be moving stuff to Codeberg and hosting my own CI to support it

I’ve had my stuff on Gitlab way before that ever even happened, just because I’ve already had issues with the platform before, and knew it would eventually change hands. Shame it’ll likely happen again with this too

I’ve been casually taking a look at it for a bit, so it’s definitely on the radar

Edit: Overall i’m happy, at first proper glance, but not having access to even barebones CI is kind of a pain. I can’t really deploy my own at the moment, and having to request access to their own Woodpecker instance is something that seems unlikely to be approved

I keep basically all of my shit on Gitlab, so depending on who they sell it to, that might be a goodbye. I’ve really enjoyed the platform, but if it goes into hands of either some clueless business people, data aggregator, or “AI-first” bullshit, i’m migrating to something else.

So that’s the thing, realistically. If this affected just consumer chips that you can buy off the shelf, sure. A bit of market lost, but the OEMs and the data center clients are still there.

But this time it’s all different. Intel fucked everyone’s stuff up, and said they’re not doing anything about it.

That will certainly not go unnoticed.

Only a matter of time until someone genuinely puts glue on their pizza

Not only that, but usually to activate these cards, you have to spend upwards of double what the card is worth too, and the fees cannot be included in the total

Microsoft won’t stop me from continuing to not use Windows

As long as this shit continues to happen, we will never have good competition in this market

When I graduated from university in 2020, my classmates still zipped the entire project and dated it with “final”, “final(2)”, and “final-forrealnow”. This is extra sad, because they did this in a class, where we were taught version control. Out of the 50-something people in my lab for that class, maybe like 3 people outside of me didn’t express hatred for it
