If only I wasn't such a moron with trying to navigate around Nvidia drivers and Optimus, this sounds fantastic.

I have yet to figure all of this out and get to a smooth and stable state.

Ahoy, guys.

Be the change you want to see in this world, don't let Thomas Edison continue to shit on everything from his grave.

Are we talking something like NixOS?

Thanks for the clarification. This is how I find out that I'm old.

I'm very sorry, but what is ITT and baww?

[–] davemeech@lemmy.ca 14 points 8 months ago

Yeah this is never a good sign.

That being said, perhaps because I got into a couple.of their podcasts, but I like a bunch of people at IGN. How come you're not a fan?

I have yet to have a solid informed grasp of whether Palworld manifested their sources of inspiration in good faith, but my tentative opinion at the moment is that hopefully this presses the Pokemon Company to innovate and elevate their overall game. The switch generation to me represented a generation of mismanagement and obvious management generated timelines and barriers, which is super unfortunate for Pokemon's transition to a console.

Competition hopefully might change that.

+1 on the "don't engage him or this" gang.

I know, right? But I suppose their reasoning is that my ads are also blocked across the rest of their ecosystem, my subscription isn't covering those losses.

Still though, a model that requires that customers look at something they don't want to nor will engage with smells like failure.

I can't remember what video I watched that talked about the unsustainabilty and likely the late stages of an ad revenue driven internet content model, and this situation reeks of that.

I don't know what new paradigm might replace it if this is the case, but the current model feels like it's absolutely failing.

So I have YouTube premium but also have ad-blocker, for the first time yesterday I was noticing absolutely abysmal speeds on YouTube and I suspect this is why. I thought my computer was starting to shit the bed initially it was so brutal.
