Revisions don’t really make sense for Framework in the same way as most other tech companies though, simply because of how upgradable and swappable the laptops are. My 13 probably has parts from two or three different “versions” at this point, and works like Lucky Charms.

This should be incredibly fucking concerning, and yet it’s become about as interesting as dropping a penny in the parking lot, which is honestly even more concerning.

I’m not convinced we have any hand whatsoever. The world economy might be thrown into a bit of chaos, but more and more countries are starting to tell the US to go fuck itself. It’s not inconceivable to think of the US being completely irrelevant and ignored economically within the next decade.

Every single time I try something new I reinstall Fedora within a day, pretty sure it’s just Stolkholm Syndrome at this point

One of the big problems is even more basic than the evils of capitalism, as you mention. If there is some asshole looking to hurt you or your kids, suddenly there is a perfect (and apparently public) record literally advertising the kids’ exact location at all times.

I don’t think Nintendo gives a flying fuck about my ‘reinforcement’, positive or negative. All I’m trying to do issue a warning about where these kinds of decisions and policies can very quickly end up.

Today, it may be a good thing (I would argue its not, but not the point rn), but as soon a money can be made, they will weaponize it. It’s what capitalism does.

I get why one would want to LoJack their kids, but maybe don’t give a major corporation ready access to that kind of information

For now perhaps

Steam isn’t currently trying to use your playtime as a way to determine what you can and cannot buy

All these distopian things aren’t nearly as disconnected as you might think

“Reasonable trade-off” is all too often just a baby step to something so much worse.

Perhaps this really is just Nintendo solving the scalping problem, but it sets the foundation for policies, technology, and cultural apathy that can be even farther weaponized against people and used to manipulate how people spend money. Stuff like this is dangerous as fuck, now more than ever.

Any system used to spy on users’ daily activities and preferentially rewards people that are predetermined to have the greatest chance to make the most profit of off, seems like a fucking awful and disturbingly distopian idea.

Both are really serious problems in their own right, one’s just a little closer to home

Honestly just missing the old days of rpg games now, KotOR was the shit

To those downvoting, yall need to be calibrated

There is no such thing as a ‘Best Game Ever’, but it’s Mass Effect 2

The Orange Cunt has far too few functioning braincells to have any idea what he wants. Make the FBI solve all the problems because thats what they do in the movies and fire every federal employee just for existing are not mutually exclusive concepts when your too narcissistic to tell the difference between your own head and a puppet-hand up your ass.

I mean, cyberpunk (the genre and the game) is largely a comment on the dire consequences of capitalism and corporate greed, aka. our current shitty timeline. If you want to look in an even more horrifying mirror, go watch Mr Robot.

I side-loaded Mint for a couple hours just to goof around, and then . . . never booted Windows again, quite literally forgot it was installed three days later

The Cunt’s really trying to take over the world by merely whining about it like a spoiled brat discovering happy meal toys
