You're totally on point. Lemmy has a lot of people stuck in the past. It's a significant bias.

The store will garner good sales and the Tekken devs will eat well. This will be enabled by people who see value in their work and happily pay for it.

It really doesn't matter what a vocal minority thinks, when the valuable non-vocal minority is out there paying big bucks for Kazuya in a fundoshi.

In order to reach new heights as a game service, Tekken needs all the money it can get.

People also seem to forget that Tekken started off in arcades. These arcade releases were far more aggressive in their monetization, especially in Korea and Japan. You would have people paying 5-10$ for a couple of hours. Players would also have to pay for their online player IDs.

Tekken 7 still had this business model. The game released for arcade in 2015. 2017 for all platforms.

The game was thoroughly milked before it was more accessible.

Very much agreed, though I'm not looking to switch back. Reddit had gradually turned into a homogenous slurry of astroturf and toxic groupthink. Lemmy lacks the critical mass for both of these to become a problem.

I still find Lemmy a better alternative, because at least I can see opinions that differ from mine. I'll gladly throwdown and get my opinions challenged rather than feel that I don't need to contribute to a discussion.

I agree. There should be good laws already in place for this. Defamation should do it.

A "technically gifted teenager" is someone with an attention span longer than 5 minutes and a computer with a decent GPU. While definitely a scarce resource, not super scarce.

Running stable diffusion locally is getting easier and easier. Took me about 15 mins last time. I just followed the readme. It won't be long until it's just a one-click setup and everyone can do it.

Isn't MPC dead now?

I believe Spotify did this back in the day in order to hide as much of their AB testing from Apple who is essentially a competitor due to iTunes.

Having much of the UI delivered via web also makes it easier to deploy updates as no software update is necessary.

Somehow this reads like a Mars Volta song and I'm here for it.

Ah yeah of course! The engineer in my stupid brain was going off before common sense.

23-20=3? Or am I missing something?

I work in an AI company. 99% of our tech relies on tried and true standard computer vision solutions instead of machine-learning based. It's just that unreliable when production use requires pixel precision.

We might throw a gradient descent here or there, but not for any learning ops.

Pretty much. Doesn't help that Firefox is the best browser for customizing your browsing experience. So all adblockers are very good on it.

Probably some summer trainee tasked with solving the Firefox + ublock Origin combo made an oopsie.

With all that said: fuck Google for even beginning their crusade against adblockers.

She's an optional boss. You don't need to beat her to finish the game.

Samsungs have this built in natively. Press record. Press pause to pause. Press record for more. Press stop to finish.

If you want the exact UX, then I dunno.
