The same as for a comic book that hasn’t left it’s rated sleeve in 30 years, and never will again without ruining the value.

It doesn’t matter what happens after you open it, if no one is going to open it.

The value remains unchanged because long before degradation comes into play, what people are buying is the rarity.

And within 5-10 years, no one is buying it to play…

It’s a moot point.

If the original buyer bought to play, they wouldn’t wait so long the cart goes bad.

And after 5-10 years there’s no reason to overpay for a sealed copy to play.

which presents the obvious problem: if you have sealed games you’re hoping will increase in value over time, these could potentially become unplayable at some point.

It doesn’t matter what’s in the sealed box…

Because after a certain point opening the box ruins it as a collectible.

I think it could work the same way you can import settings from an old account to a new one?

Like someone can make a brand new account, block some shit, then export the .json file

I just don’t know if when you import it, if it’s additive (which means it would work) or if it replaces what exists with what’s in the file. If that’s the case existing accounts would “lose” their own subscriptions and blocks.

Best of luck then I guess…

AI is the most frequent content that I see in my my feed due crosspost,

There’s a few instances that are militantly pro-ai, even going so far to ban people just for downvoting AI.

If you just block the communities on those instances, it’s like playing whackamole. Because they won’t stop making identical communities.

So you need to block the entire instance, and/or the mods since they’re the ones making all the posts/crossposts

You won’t miss much, the problematic ones tend to have monthly users in the double digits, they’re only there to bait people from rational instances into arguing with them where they’re a mod.

Ideally .world would just defederate from those troll instances. But they really really want to federate with everyone.

So just block all those instances yourself.

Just to be clear…

You want me to show you a study that shows AI needs to be trained to do something?

Because I can do that, I just realized this is apple and don’t want to get in something that never ends with a fanboy.

But what would make you happy is something that shows what AI developers spend billions of dollars and violate all types of laws or n pursuit of isn’t just some optional step they can skip and it’ll still do what it does now.

Cuz thats what it sounds like youre asking for, it’s just a little hard to believe.

But others have been showing this for years…

You don’t often hear about the 17th time an experiment reaches the same conclusion.

But like I said, people will care about it. Because capitalism drives science so it matters more when a billion dollar corporation says it than countless subject matter experts.

Investors don’t listen to them, but they’ll listen to apple.

I really don’t want to give a billion dollar corporation credit for “proving” something a shit ton of people have been saying this whole time.

The only people saying this was true AI was the people who work for these companies and the investors who fell for it.

Most of the “big uses” have been literal mechanical Turks with a human pretending to be a program.

It’s just when capitalism drives science, it only matters what the wealthy say, and apple is very very wealthy

What’s actually bad about it?

Like, this is something you opt into and is only relevant if you’re watching their ad supported stuff, which I don’t know anyone who watches that over their own media on Plex.

And honestly, every “bad” thing I’ve ever heard about Plex has been the same thing, something that sounds horrible until you understand it

If you’re watching their “free” content and agree to that box…

The title made it seem waaaaay worse than what the screenshot actually says

OP faked the screenshot

https://www.youtube.com/@tutorialsbyluke/videos

The last video was from 7 years ago, but the 87 subscribers is legit for some reason

Like every other post OP makes, yes, it’s obviously to get people to play their game.

I searched the channel expecting it to be the only video and also OP:

https://www.youtube.com/@tutorialsbyluke/videos

But instead they just faked the acreenshot, it’s not even a real video

Like waiting 6 months for them to panic over low sales and put on 50% sale?

Maybe, or maybe I’ll wait for the ultimate edition with all dlc to hit $40

Yeah. I think someone used the term “historic” appropriately, that it’s old

And people are assuming it was used as an exaggeration like “this is a big deal”.

Thanks!

That’s enough to keep rational people from wandering in from this thread

Pick any of the three and say it’s not an authoritarian dictatorship in 2025.

To clarify, you are saying that Modi’s India isn’t an authoritarian dictatorship in your eyes?

Brazil is the odd man out,

I thought the context made it clear that the rest are authoritarian dictatorships…

Let’s start with the three big ones though:

Russia, India, China

Pick any of the three and say it’s not an authoritarian dictatorship in 2025.

That will help steer rational people away from your community and instance in general.

BRICS+

For when you don’t want to say “coalition of authoritarian dictatorships”…

BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising ten countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRICS

Brazil is the odd man out, but they’re actively fighting against expanding BRICS and honestly I think the only reason they haven’t left is it’s essentially free for them.

The idea of categorizing countries by their economic and developmental status began during the Cold War with the classifications of East and West. The Soviet Union and China represented the East, and the United States and their allies represented the West. The term Third World came into parlance in the second half of the twentieth century. It originated in a 1952 article by Alfred Sauvy entitled “Trois Mondes, Une Planète”.[22] Early definitions of the Third World emphasized its exclusion from the east–west conflict of the Cold War as well as the ex-colonial status and poverty of the peoples it comprised.[22]

So…

They wanted to replace 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world to segregate countries based on economys…

But didn’t want to say that’s what they were doing, so picked a random name that doesn’t make logical sense?

Yeah, this is definitely a .ml thing
