Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”
  • They want more data and literally can't store it efficiently enough. You can read their eula and see, they instantly own anything you upload and you no longer have rights to it, which is absolutely bonkers and pretty dubious in many countries if this is even legal. We found out when they overviewed the security of our studio and we use other communication software now because of it. They could literally argue that they own the assets to the games we make if we send concepts to each other.

    Marcus Aurelius rule
  • Great advice if your goal is to be destructive to yourself and others. I am recovering from abuse and can for sure say that nothing good has ever come from, or will ever come from anger. We're all angry from time to time. And it's still destructive as its only quality. Being violent in thought or action is not useful. Ever. Only apologists hiding from reality will say that being angry was good. Every scenario you can pose is better met with good temper. Even under actual physical attack, a calm collected response leads to superior outcomes. There is no real world use for anger. It is a remnant hunter gatherer feature.

  • That they don't collect as much user data is not enshittification. That is when greed kills it. They have been greedy a long time but not being able to hoard as much free user data is a good thing

  • What people say that? I have never heard anyone have that belief except if I stretch it, in astroturfing ads. Nobody believes that. Corporations decide. They are not humans. You are not controlled by humans but by huge devil machines

    Please stop the bus of life, I want to get off
  • Yes, usa is a hyper-capitalistic country. Not all (actually none other) countries behave like this. But they all use the dollar as currency. The difference is that usa is the economic superpower but that does not make them control way the world world any longer. It disappeared when the culture war was lost. The war on drug was lost too and now there is a class war. Wonder how that will go

    'AI is coming for all of us:' Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, and Baldur's Gate voice actor Jennifer Hale weighs in on SAG-AFTRA's games industry strike
  • Yes, I have always thought about what it would feel with actual immersion, the kind that can only come from infinite content areas. An mmo role-playing server or similar games that have generative content. Now I think it will feel like it does with other content areas, such as if you don't complete all levels of a game like candy crush, that it has a different taste than something with "technically" infinite content. If the type of player whose enjoyment is immersion based it has major potential once context issues for local models can be improved.

    What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?
  • It's a notepad.

    But then you go down a rabbit hole if you look beyond that Basically think about what could happen if your notes in different tabs could link to each other and extrapolate from there.

    It takes up 6 of my 24 hours each day just to think about starting to actually take some notes. It's awesome.

  • Makes sense, that's what I was referring to. What kind of interactions are you thinking that you would enjoy to have? As an example. (sorry if it seems strange to be asked, I'm a game designer and these things are very interesting to me :))

    Trump Says He’s ‘Absolutely’ Down To Put ‘Unusual Character’ Elon Musk in His Cabinet: ‘We Have To Cherish Our Geniuses’
  • No he does not use terms like that. He gives them a creepy nickname that is leaking mental illness and presents it as a teasing joke from grandpa but his demon child mercernaries instantly make it into a hateful call to violence
