I liked vice city and San Andreas.
Since IV they have been striping features from the games (also IV had huge performance issues). And V is completely bland to me. I didn’t enjoy it. And I don’t expect much from VI. I expect the same shallowness as V with a different background.
If I’m wrong good from everyone. But I won’t get disappointed if it’s as boring a V.
If not so much about holding purchases. Is about money sitting. With deflation your money is worth more each day. So investment is discouraged. Why risk money if money by itself grow?
In a economy based on investments that not desired.
And there’s also the idea if “where this value is coming from?”. With inflation all the value from every cent that loss value goes somewhere. That’s easier to control. With deflation all the money that each cent gains must come from somewhere (so a few must be losing a ton of money).
This is just right. Massive amounts of corporations have a complete dependency on Microsoft Office. In a way that cannot be substituted by Libreoffice or similar.
Change need to happen. But there need to be a viable alternative before it.
I think is promoted by hispasat. But I don’t know if they use their satellites or they hire others.
You can download a collection of thousands (maybe a million I don’t even know) of books in Spanish in epub format, from the “secret library”. It’s like a 100Gb torrent, but way worth it.
Ebooks tens to have long lasting battery. I spent a few hours reading on monday.
Just now I’m on my phone, but if you are interested let me know and I’ll try to find the link and will mp it to you if you want.
And just now I’ve been thinking that epubs being so small size maybe there’s a way to transmit them over this radio mesh networks on demand, like some sort of radio library. I’ve have to look into that. Maybe they are too big for that as radio bandwidth for data transfer tends to be incredibly small.
Just in case you ever met someone who lives in a place with no cable internet (strange case in Spain as we have great coverage). Just let them know that in Spain they fund satellite internet that is not owned by elon musk. Is slower but way cheaper specially because the government funds a part of it afaik.
We already have power in my city. I think most of Spain is already up. But some cities still down, I think Madrid is still having issues as I have not been able to contact people from there.
Cause still unknown.
My ps1 controler have not gotten stick drift in… how long now? 30 years?
Is that a lost technology like in sci-fi books?
I would lo to be able to justify buying a 1500€ vr set. But using it for one or two games does not make the threshold for me.
I hope they make more really good games so it become justifiable.
By played hours the Binding Of Isaac probably.
By impact in my heart Metal Gear Solid.
I remember managing to install two DE one above the other, and having them, somehow working at the exact same time. That was trippy.
I didn’t even know how I did it. I’m pretty sure that I couldn’t replicate that on purpose.
Eurolinux with EU Commission funding would hit hard.
They are as useful as the Large Hadron Collider, or the New Horizons probe.
They are instruments of practical scientific research. They may have some return in useful technology or not, but science is always worth it.
Many people in lemmy is highly primitivist and tech conservatives. Meaning that they don’t actually want any technological progress.
Quantum computer do exist. And have existed for some time now. Breakthroughs have been achieved several times.
That guy is a moron.
But AI assistance in taxes is also being introduced where I live (Spain which is currently being government by a coalition of socialist parties).
Still not deployed so I couldn’t say how it will work. But preliminary info seems promising. They are going to use a publicly trained AI project that has already being released.
The thing is that I don’t think that precisely that is a Musk idea. It’s something that have been probably been talked about various tax agencies in the world in the latest years. The probably is just parroting the idea and giving them project to one of his billionaire friends.
In Spain we trained an AI using a mix of public resources available for AI training and public resources (legislation, congress sessions, etc). And the AI turned out quite good. Obviously not top of the line, but very good overall.
It was a public project not a private company.
Because an AI is not a human brain?
It’s impressive how the technology have advanced in the last years. But obviously it is not a human brain.
Let’s put it in simpler terms. Imagine it’s a French made move and meta just ripped it and it’s selling it back in the web.
As soon as that product, the riped french movie, is available in France for sale they are selling it through their French branch, which would be breaking French law on French soil, thus could be easily prosecuted.
If they do not comply they could be lawfully ban from operating on France.
Haven’t you seen what happened with twitter in Brazil?
This is like Nostradamus for me. I don’t want to update and deal with potential breaks.
