With Gog though it doesn’t have any DRM right? What stopping people from just copying the files?

I’m sure they’re shaking in their boots from the prospect of a 10 million dollar fine.

That’s what annoyed me about minio. Started super crazy simple to set up, but I missed two updates and came back to AWS levels of mandatory configuration. Ffs I chose you because you were simple, not because I needed to replace s3

You know, like how money works

I’m pretty sure I saw a documentary about doing this exact thing back in 2003…

Yeah thinking about they did this because they were already struggling financially, and this stupid as hell move will only make that worse for a very long time…

I’ll say as someone who is barely starting out, more blogs, videos, and tutorials would be very helpful with Godot. Even if you don’t consider yourself a writer or content provider, if you have experience using it and setting it up, getting a first project started, a lot of people would be very grateful for your insights.

Brand is already in ruins. Their users weren’t gamers, who’d come running back if a new flashy game came out, it’s engineers. Developers who need to know long term that the choice they make will work for them in 5 years, 10 years, or further. I don’t know how they can expect that trust to be rebuilt, it’ll take many, many years for them to even be on the radar for most developers now.

They’re… Okay. I’ve tried to do xemu quite a few times, but there’s so much to be translated. I can get a max of 15fps using xemu on Linux.

Remember it’s not just PowerPC to x86 translation, then you also add on the windows to Linux translations. There’s a lot happening and the performance suffers

Edit sorry, Xbox one is x86, I was thinking of 360.

It’s happened a few times in my career where people tell me I’ll be obsolete, but it’s always been some company hyping their new product and suits frothing at the prospect of not having to pay me anymore.

So far they’re like 0 for 8 or so.

Now I will say the goalposts move. What I’m doing now is for sure not what I was doing 10 years ago. I’m definitely heavier in devops and infra than where I was before (ironic because they said we’d never have to worry about that stuff again if we moved to the cloud). AI is still basically machine learning, just in a while loop, so I’ve spent time learning that. So, in a way, yes we’re obsolete in the sense that if I was the same engineer I was 10 years ago I wouldn’t be worth nearly this much, I had to grow and evolve with technology.

there’s a really good OSS app that looks comparable… I can’t remember the name though. Too bad if it’s not hosted for thousands a month that companies don’t see value in it.

The fun thing with AI that companies are starting to realize is that there’s no way to “program” AI, and I just love that. The only way to guide it is by retraining models (and LLMs will just always have stuff you don’t like in them), or using more AI to say “Was that response okay?” which is imperfect.

And I am just loving the fallout.
