Thanks to not making any debts. It’s all the infrastructure, I don’t think a single one isn’t about to break down.

Some people love compost, it’s already half digested.
A sad and dark day.
A very positive but also very scary article. Less war is good, but non democratic countries can still force people to fight, while democratic can’t as much, causing a power imbalance.
Yes finally people get it.
It’s just an Interstellar 2 ad
I just switched to Firefox to get away from Browser who prevent me from using an adblocker extension. sigh

Even embedded ads will always be detectable because they always stick out. Be it audio, video, frame timing or the simple fact that an ad is always the same. They’d need to random generate dynamic AI ads and I don’t think we’re there yet, nor would most companies accept the possible public outrage when the AI content has a glitch or a different dynamic than what the marketing had in mind.
I never believed it because progress wouldn’t be that fast and someone certainly would’ve started to blame a company or organization for delivering all the hardware and installing the infrastructure. Which then would be illogical because how would tribal people pay for this? I think even in the poorest countries of the world, internet doesn’t magically drop out of the sky for no money.
The vast majority of Nintendo customers doesn’t care about graphics and will happily buy a new 80€ controller every year. They are pretty resistant to negative elements, as they are very depending on Nintendo for delivering that special feeling no other on the market gives them. I don’t even blame them on that, it sadly just is a self absorbing construct. Nintendo doesn’t have to improve if fans buy 20 years old emulator ports for 80 bucks and the fans won’t stop buying it because it’s Nintendo, their childhood. I have a Switch myself and love the innovative controls and also am guilty to pay for a year of NSO premium just to play that one game on emulator. Sure I could’ve hacked my switch, but on the other hand it’s time investment to do so and I can’t bother.
I think it’s just a temporary thing. Suits love nothing more than forcing people into their own wallet garden. Sony will notice less people pay for PS+ and then will turn back to exclusives. Maybe it’s also only temporary, to hook people on Sony games and then reach again. I’d love to see it a permanent thing though.
I remember when I stopped worrying about death, because I had seen enough of the world.

It was not effective.
I’m so sick of this non news. It’s just imaginary value too.
Opt-in but you get an annoying full screen popup every boot, like for the windows11 upgrade. It’s only a matter of time, til they sell AI recall features as Win12 and then beg you to upgrade for free, pretty please!
If you still can, they’ll find ways to disable the option to turn them off, because it’s time you don’t watch an ad.
This should count as violation of human rights. You’re chained to the seat for hours and have no other option than look at this screen or force your eyes closed. Holy shit, people should get really mad. Flashing ads on a screen you don’t look at directly are still very annoying, even if you look on your phone.
Basically. It’s a complicated economy issue. But lets say there’s not just monetary debt, but also structural debt. Our infrastructure is old, a lot has to be repaired by making debts. But they refuse to, thing is, the bridges will collapse at some point, literally, if you don’t build new ones. This will all come back to hunt our economy as no train will deliver, no truck will be able to use the highway as a lot of bridges are broken. Same with schools, you get less educated people, which then on average produce less wealth. In short term you save money, in the long term the world will move on without you. Every economist knows, a little debt is perfect as it works in sync with the capitalism we all live in. However the payment for the dept shouldn’t outgrow the economy, that’s the only rule. Making no new debts sounds good on paper, but no young person will say “thank you” when they grew up with bad education, a broken economy and an inhabitable planet. Now is the best time to make debts to fix big issues.
