But I will not knowingly support this asshole if whatever his company produces isn’t going to benefit anyone other than him and his cronies.
I mean it was already not open-source, right?

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
I’m confused, how can a company that’s gained numerous advantages from being non-profit just switch to a for-profit model
Money
As it should be. Rockstar Games deserves nothing less.
I won’t be buying other Rockstar games if they do this with other Rockstar games, since it means I won’t be able to play them since I use Linux and they don’t want to use the checkmark to enable BattlEye on Linux/Proton.
What an incredible sentence.
Just because they are the cheapest option doesn’t mean they aren’t a monopoly. They clearly have the most inventory. One store having all of the inventory of everything and being the leader for selling products of any kind, is a pretty big problem.
If they can put others out of business (pretty sure they have put smaller stores out of business in the past), they can become an even bigger monopoly.
It’s not just the tech industry, it’s most industries. They have tons of inventory of everything.
In Canada they absolutely are lol
Enshitification is a very, very real thing. GitLab did something similar with raising pricing by 5x a few years back.
I’m glad someone else is acknowledging that AI can be an amazing tool. Every time I see AI mentioned on lemmy, people say that it’s entirely useless and they don’t understand why it exists or why anyone talks about it at all. I mention I use ChatGPT daily for my programming job, it’s helpful like having an intern do work for me, etc, and I just get people disagreeing with me all day long lol
I could have said anything, and then it would have agreed with me
Nope, I’ve had it argue with me, and I kept arguing my point but it kept disagreeing, then I realized I was wrong. I felt stupid but I learned from it.
It doesn’t “know” anything but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be right.
There are dozens of us!
Still impressive imo, I have friends who work in IT who don’t even self-host lol
Don’t use them for facts, use them for assisting you with menial tasks like data entry.
I like to call myself a professional idiot. I love tinkering with my homelab setup.
As someone with a strong tech background, that’s just impressive to me. It’s cool to see non-technical people are interested in self-hosting too, and for good reason.
IMO 16, if you can trust them to be responsible enough to drive you can trust them to have a smartphone. If you can’t trust them to drive then yeah they probably shouldn’t have a smartphone lol
My last 3 employers have let me use Linux on my work laptop, I’ve gone with Ubuntu each time, it has worked really well for me. I’m lucky that I get to use Linux since I work as a web dev, it often matches production more easily that way.
That’s both disturbing and completely expected. I’ve generally always preferred monitors over TVs tbh, this is just another reason for it lol
