The command line is an exceptionally useful tool, you may want to spend a little time getting familiar with it and common command line tools that would probably make self hosting almost anything easier.

It’s like wanting to learn to play guitar but not learning how to restring and tune it, sure it’s not necessary but you’re going to be overly dependent on others to do something you could learn for yourself with a little time and patience, and it will probably broaden your perspective on what you can do once you do get familiar with how to pipe commands together and combine basic tools into something more sophisticated and complex.

Korn shell scripts get all the subsidizes anyways

I get the idea that it’s only temporary, but I’d much rather have a current gen AI paint a picture than attempt to program a guidance system or a heart monitor

Also “helicopter” and “buttock” put together

100% depends on a bunch of stuff like the music, the quality of the characters and story, how the combat & movement feels, and if it ships day 1 with mod tools or not for me, vanilla being buggy is par for them but if it feels like a lived in world vs a half empty theme park is I think one of the big differences between Morrowind and Starfield.

It’s okay, we still have The Elder Scrolls 6 and Commander Keen 7 to wait for

Ah hell, that’s how I first read it then I second guessed myself on the irony later!

Whether there is another cause that is common to both events is irrelevant to the example. The example is to demonstrate the fact that while A and B are correlated, neither A causes B nor B causes A are true predicates. Just like the discovery of Pluto and autism diagnosis are correlated to start around the same year, there’s no evidence of the casual link where discovering Pluto causes autism diagnosis or autism diagnosis causes Pluto discovery.

No, the opposite; it’s a classic example showing that correlation doesn’t necessitate causation. I was just playing with the phrasing to imply the humorous inverse that there is a casual link.

Shark attacks cause ice cream sales

It’s all Patrick Duffy’s dream, or that Canadian kid in a coma, or maybe the windfish

“Did you see that ludicrous display last night?”

Maybe, or maybe we just have different opinions on commercials?

You miss the nostalgia of old commercials not because of their content but because you can skip them or content was edited to provide a break for them.

I dislike advertising especially the old cable TV sub + ads style where you already paid for the content, and editing in breaks for movie commercials or planning an episode of a show around commercial breaks makes the experience worse imo.

I don’t really understand the appeal of advertising propaganda, like I get in this system everything has a price and the broadcast price was manipulative commercials trading time for content. Then cable TV offered an alternative, no commercials but subscription cost, trading money for content. Then the cable companies tried to get as greedy as possible with ads + sub, and people paying with time went to ad based streaming services and people paying with money went to subscription based services, then most streaming services made the same greediest move as cable TV with ads + sub. Being nostalgic for commercial breaks feels like being nostalgic for something I never wanted to being with.

The same people working for David Zaslav who pushed discovery and history to be almost entirely pseudoscience and low effort variety/reality TV are currently running HBO’s streaming service, Max.

Cult of the line must go up

Lowe’s loose lows lose loss.

They don’t have to stop selling their work after the copyright expires, it’s just they no longer own a legal monopoly on it after they’ve had time to get the first to market purchases. Publishers, streamers, etc all carry works in the public domain currently.

Copyrights should be max 5 years
