That’s fair.

It always felt obvious to me that it was a metaphor, I didn’t think I’ve met someone who legit believed boomer shooters were boomer games.

Most boomers, I think, were too old by the time video games were exciting and commonplace to start drawing numerous people so it’s fairly rare for a baby boomer to be a gamer.

Maybe the explosions played a role in the term being used like that but I’m fairly confident age is the primary dimension here.

Heck I’ve seen people use “boomer X” to refer to older-meta versions of decks in magic the gathering. Decks which had zombies not explosives.

People in comments are talking the “boomer cRPG” alias way too literally when it’s just a metaphor for “old school” much like we had for years with unreal and older Dooms being dubbed “boomer shooters”.

Yes boomer is used metaphorically to just mean “old” instead of “made in the 50s-60s or made by someone of that generation”.

You’re talking about a specific AC. Your OP was a general statement about all ACs. And it’s not true because many simply do not offer this option to run in userspace mode only, as seen by battlefield and COD and other games like League of Legends.

Could they? Maybe? We don’t know it’s a bunch of proprietary black box code anyways.

But presenting it like it’s a choice by Dev studios to just tick a box during AC setup is not a valid thing to say about all cases.

That’s not the case with kernel-level AC, those don’t run on Linux at all. They shouldn’t run on anything really but that’s a different story.

A bunch of desktop apps use electron anyways as a runtime. WASM could allow us to have better/more reliable software that doesn’t rely on JS, which isn’t ideal for many use cases.

Is it efficient? Definitely not, but for system apps we have other choices which are more performant like C and Rust. These days 90% of the software people use are either web apps in a browser or web apps with an electron gui running outside their browser but inside the Electron browser: P.

Those studies do not refer to item volume, they refer to monetary value.

If a business can earn more by selling 5 cars worth half a million each per year, instead of trying to sell 20 or even 30 Cars under 40k to average people their entire business model will shift to cater to billionaires and multi millionaires.

The bulk of average people are becoming irrelevant to the current capitalist market, that’s the point.

Don’t fucking tone-police me. I’m not a politician idgaf about being palpable or “appealing to all sides”.

Being rude doesn’t make someone wrong and appealing to everyone doesn’t make one right either.

I want socialism, education and welfare and decent living standarda for all. I want fascists and the multimillionaire class to stop existing. That’s it, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.

People need to be willing to accept that their votes have been supporting fascists and going against their best interests and they need to be willing to consider a different perspective for that. It’s not my responsibility to cater to those that spent their lives shitting on the very possibility of critical thinking.

Very possible yes, it’s been a awhile since I saw it.

Depressing bit of the day: I don’t have the source with me right now but there was a claim on youtube that the top 1% make up for like half of the consumer market in the USA.

Half of everything sold in dollars is done by the ultra rich. Everyone else is basically irrelevant and driven to extinction under capitalism, if that is accurate.

I’d argue it does. You can’t improve things if you don’t first identify what the root cause of the problem is.

Frankly, between blaming welfare and going for eugenics or blaming capitalism and going for socialism I’d much prefer the latter.

To be fair, Poe’s Law on the Internet has been at the peak of its power in the recent years due to AI and geopolitical events.

It doesn’t have to be AI. automation has already made a lost of jobs trivial or irrelevant, which is why we are so productive as a species and yet still do 40hr weeks.

Try searching for the theory of “bullshit jobs”. It’s all just patchwork to keep global capitalism based economy going in circles.

IMO if your “A*” style algorithm is used for chatbot or any kind of user interaction or content generation, it should still be explicitly declared.

That being said, there is some nuance here about A) use of Copyrighted material and B) Non-deterministic behaviour. Neither of which is (usually) a concern in more classical non-DL approaches to AI solutions.

Sounds like win-win really.

Yes and idfaf. Work as much as you want to. No one gets a second home before everyone has at least one. That’s my position.

If we had a fair distribution of wealth I wouldn’t care about either of these really.

Most artists care about attribution/fame somewhat but if they could live comfortably they wouldn’t care about royalties much or others using their art.

Likewise for AI, automation is an amazing thing for civilization but when it is gatekeeped and used to make the rich richer it’s just exploitation of workers everywhere since they have to work as hard as they did one century ago with, arguably, less buying power.

Allowed to live sure but I’d argue they shouldn’t be allowed to exist as billionaires.

that kind of wealth is just immoral, unreasonable by the scale of human’s lifetime, and exploitative by nature.
