It’s not helping if some bitch on her menstrual cycle comes and spams her keyboard without any valid points

You’ve already previously been given warning for breaching our Code of Conduct section 3.5 (Hate Speech: Do not make remarks directed at sex, gender…). This is your third strike within 2 months and your account is now at risk of receiving a permanent ban if further breaches are made within 365 days.

Since this is strike 3, your account will be given a 14 days site-wide temporary ban.

- The programming.dev community team

If you don’t have anything positive or helpful to say, it would be better to just not reply. If you think the post shouldn’t be posted here, use the report function instead.

Please don’t stalk/harass our users, it can and will lead to a site wide ban if reported.

The discussion has gotten completely off-topic. I’ll lock the the thread until the moderators (@anzo@programming.dev @dwraf_of_ignorance@programming.dev) starts responding to reports.

Please follow our Code of Conduct when interacting with our instance. Hate speech violates section 3.5 and in this instance is severe enough to lead directly to a temporary ban instead of the usual warning. Repeated offences may lead to a permanent ban.

When on programming.dev’s communities, please follow our Code of Conduct. Your comment currently violates section 3.2 and 3.5

This is your second warning to not break our CoC (3.2).

A third warning will result in a temporary ban from programming.dev.

Just a reminder that our instance CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Please try to avoid calling people slurs per CoC 3.2 and 3.5. Failure to do so may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

Looking at your instance handle, I hope/assume that your comment is supposed to be in lighthearted jest. However that would only be an assumption on my part and in general it’s not ok to say someone’s job/work tool is for [remarks directed at sex, gender, ethnicity, orientation, disabilities, etc…] per CoC 3.5.

Please take into consideration that members on this instance may be of different backgrounds than what you’re used to and interpets what you say differently. Further breaches of our Code of Conduct may lead to temporary or permament ban.

Please refrain from harassing our users, keep whatever argument you have contained to the thread it started. Following and harassing users across communities/instances is not tolerated.

You will only be given a temporary ban of one week from our instance, but if it continues after that it will changed to a permanent ban.

Please refrain from using slurs and disparage people for no good reason on our instance.

I didn’t mean to imply CD stores sounds files of worse quality, only that if you aren’t after the experience vinyl provides, digital files is a more convenient form of media.

Maybe I should have written a longer comment to elaborate on what I meant. What I meant to say is that if your primary concern is sound quality rather than the experience physical media gives you, I would assume a flac file would be a more popular option due to its convenience.

There’s way more to a game’s look than textures though. Arguably ray tracing will have a greater impact than textures. Not to mention, for retro games, you could just generate the textures beforehand, no need to do it in real time.

If you’re going for quality, you’d just buy the flac file though

Please refrain from using personal insults in this community. You’re free to express your opinion, but personal insults does nothing but make the community more toxic. c/programming is a gathering ground for both inexperienced and experienced programmers, so this level of lashing out is uncalled for.

I’m pretty sure it’s generating racially diverse nazis due to companies tinkering with the prompts under the hood to counterweight biases in the training data. A naive implementation of generative AI wouldn’t output black or Asian nazis.

it doesn’t have EQ or sociological knowledge.

It sort of does (in a poor way), but they call it bias and tries to dampen it.

And if Google went nuclear and starts embedding the ad into the videos themselves?

I don’t believe for one bit that windows will move to a pure subscription based model. They are greedy, but not stupid.

What’s more believable is that the base OS will be the same as usual, but if you want fancy AI assistants in your OS, you must subscribe, with the justification being that MS must pay for the servers running the models you’re using.

if Valve isn’t selling at a loss to poorer regions then they are simply extracting additional profit from higher-income regions on the assumption that those customers can afford it.

Valve can’t sell for a loss the same way ebay can’t. Valve simply takes a percentage of the price everytime a game is bought, publishers are in complete control of the price they want to sell. Often, publishers will let Steam automatically set regional pricing based e.g. the American price though.

The way these publishers operate, they will simply set the price at the highest possible value to extract as much as money ad they can from those willing to spend 60+$. Those unwilling or incapable of spending that amount of money, will just buy the game later on a sale. Price skimming has only become more and more prevalent in PC gaming with steam being the “innovator” of frequent sales.
