Letterboxd has user made lists of upcoming movies, either with dates announced or just announced projects. Fun to flick through and see what directors I enjoy are working on.

Or change the title to up to 50%

I mean those things can exist outside of DVD

requires going through the desktop interface to install them, if they use another launcher you have to set up that, frequently some trial and error

Valve does pre-compilation of shaders. That only works for native Steam titles, and it can be the difference between a game being playable and a stuttery mess, especially for more graphically intense titles

there are also hardcoded patches in Proton that look for the SteamID of the game to apply them. Those also won’t have those fixes applied when adding them as non-Steam games.

How is any of this the fault of the World of Goo devs? How come Valve shouldn’t be expected to implement features to make these things simpler/work?

And yet if you go in the MC community, one of the most common complaints people have is that the updates are never enough and the Devs are lazy etc… I guess this goes to the point of this article, people can easily be trained to have unrealistic expectations.

Tbh I think a big part of the problem is Mojang’s failure to communicate with it’s players, less so the lack of features being added.

As with most issues the truth is in the middle and any immigration policy should absolutely demand that any immigrant coming into a country assimilate and fully support our values of equality for all.

America is hardly a country of “equality for all” sadly

Edit: This was literally 4 posts down

At least it gets used for something, unlike most people’s front yards. Hell even some people’s backyards I see and it looks like they never use it.

“user-applicable fix” is hardly correct, they are installing a fix provided by the company that has the recall. The company just so happens to provide an over the air download to patch the issue instead of having owners go to a dealer.

That works until more of the user base leaves. Whose going to pay to tweet if no one is on the platform. It’s “worth” it potentially in the short term, but long term it doesn’t seem viable.

People are still in prison for it though.

“Gen Z doesn’t like sex scene put into the movie by senile board members, so they must not like sex in movies anymore”

Chinese people also deserve to not be sent to internment camps.

I’d agree that’s annoying yes, but it’s free. There comes a point where the amount of free users upgrading to premium isn’t enough, so they’re left with either changing the free service to boost that number or remove free as it likely loses them money. I’d agree that it’s shitty yea, but the free product is meant to be a preview to entice premium subscriptions. If they aren’t getting enough upgrades, something has to change (in their view)

So are limited free demos a shitty method because you then have to pay to get the full experience? I don’t understand why people are so upset that the free experience gets worse, economically it makes sense and any company would do it. They do not need to offer a free service at all, but they do it to help cultivate a premium user base. It’s pretty consumer friendly they offer a free version to let you make sure you want to use Spotify before you pay. I just don’t think offering a free product to entice paying for the full thing is a “shitty method”.

I think Neon puts out a lot of good stuff. Generally a bit of a darker tone (not always) with their films, but still quality.

I would assume since it was a block of raw text in Ukrainian in a translation file, it would have passed more under the radar than something like a backdoor. I do not know how things are reviewed before being pushed to release though.

I thought they’d have plenty of money from all the albums and tours.

At what line does it become stolen property? There are plenty of tools which artists use today that use AI. Those AI tools they are using are more than likely trained on some creation without payment. It seems the data it’s using isn’t deemed important enough for that to be an issue. Google has likely scraped billions of images from the Internet for training on Google Lens and there was not as much of an uproar.

Honestly, I’m just curious if there is an ethical line and where people think it should be.

A lot of things in stores have to add disclaimers about what is on the cover of the box vs what’s on the inside. I don’t see how fast food gets a pass on that. Or why people are just okay with it too.

A very important aspect that I think people overlook is that they use similar/same marketing photos of the food on their menu. That’s not advertising, maybe that’s what they will argue. If I look at a menu and they have a picture of the food, I’m going to expect I get what I see (within a margin) vs when I see an advertisement I expect it to be a bit hyperbolic.
