Was doing my masters degree. We're all talking about some book several people had read. We ask one guy if he's read it and he says "I don't like... read books" with the emphasis on those last two words just dripping with condescension. Like read the statement with the subtext of "if I caught my kid reading a book I'd disown him and call him a queer".

Really inexplicable take in a room full of literally only masters students

Someone said "the reddit comments are here" in a lemmy comment section. Everyone can just upvote this because it's all that will be said

A competitor could literally buy one copy, make a script that spins up 1000 vms a minute and downloads your game over and over on "new devices" and put you out of business

Yeah aside from the fact that it's going to likely affect their decision. Like I wanna see this guy face justice but not at the expense of my family getting fieebombed inside our house

Honestly as a mid-career IT person, I'd take a 30-40% cut for that extra day without a second of hesitation.

I think 1 billion is a good cap RN. Like that's a truly staggering amount of money. That's enough that your kids kids won't have to work a day in their lives.

Every desktop app that's available on multiple platforms is basically written in it.

Climate change isn't really an existential threat. To be a filter it has to kill all humans and even the bleakest models don't predict that.

Also for it to be a Great Filter it has to be something that ALL civilizations do to kill themselves. Seems unlikely that all civs wou ld even have analogs to gossil fuels in quantities sufficient to do this kind of damage. And the idea that zero of them actually course-correct when they notice it seems equally implausible
