That’s both disturbing and completely expected. I’ve generally always preferred monitors over TVs tbh, this is just another reason for it lol

But I will not knowingly support this asshole if whatever his company produces isn’t going to benefit anyone other than him and his cronies.

I mean it was already not open-source, right?

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

I’m confused, how can a company that’s gained numerous advantages from being non-profit just switch to a for-profit model

Money

That’s what I’m wondering.

I haven’t heard any reports of or seen any abuse for emulators like Xenia, RPCS3, Dolphin, Citra, etc. I wonder if this is something unique/specific to people finding out it’s Stenzek, or if it’s more widespread than we realize?

Personally, I do think non-permissive licenses aren’t nice, and I do think there should be criticisms, skepticism, and concerns to be voiced about that. At the same time, if it’s the owners project, he is free to do with it as he wishes. Then again, if something has a large enough of a community, you could argue that it’s no longer just their project. But I understand that if you want to prevent people profiting off of your work (and your contributors work), a no-commercial license does make sense. It’s a complex situation.

As it should be. Rockstar Games deserves nothing less.

I won’t be buying other Rockstar games if they do this with other Rockstar games, since it means I won’t be able to play them since I use Linux and they don’t want to use the checkmark to enable BattlEye on Linux/Proton.

What an incredible sentence.

LMAO you’re not wrong tbh

Just because they are the cheapest option doesn’t mean they aren’t a monopoly. They clearly have the most inventory. One store having all of the inventory of everything and being the leader for selling products of any kind, is a pretty big problem.

If they can put others out of business (pretty sure they have put smaller stores out of business in the past), they can become an even bigger monopoly.

It’s not just the tech industry, it’s most industries. They have tons of inventory of everything.

In Canada they absolutely are lol

Enshitification is a very, very real thing. GitLab did something similar with raising pricing by 5x a few years back.

Holy shit why is this so true LMAO

I’m glad someone else is acknowledging that AI can be an amazing tool. Every time I see AI mentioned on lemmy, people say that it’s entirely useless and they don’t understand why it exists or why anyone talks about it at all. I mention I use ChatGPT daily for my programming job, it’s helpful like having an intern do work for me, etc, and I just get people disagreeing with me all day long lol

As someone with a strong tech background, that’s just impressive to me. It’s cool to see non-technical people are interested in self-hosting too, and for good reason.

I mean, technically that’s correct, if they keep voting for the guy trying to destroy social security lol

Technically there’s no substitute for testing in production lol

Although ideally you’d want to test it beforehand…

Oh, I wasn’t aware of that, I thought the user-hostile restrictions were inherent to Manifest v3 and they were unavoidable.

Okay, maybe just maybe Firefox squeaks by unharmed then.

edit: I literally just had someone else tell me just now that “It’s not something that can be worked around. It’s specifically a design feature of manifest v3 to restrict these types of things.”

So which is it? I’m kind of getting mixed signals here.

edit 2: Oh, it sounds like Google has additional arbitrary restrictions on content blocking functionality, beyond what Manifest V3 itself has.

Eventually Firefox will switch to V3 anyway so it’s kind of just delaying the inevitable.

It sucks that this is the future of the Internet.
