No. Absolutely not. Whenever anyone says, "wouldn't it be great to live forever" remember that means people like trump and Musk are with us forever. Unless people take things into their own hands, but that's another issue.

If your phone has Bluetooth turned on, it'll track you.

I literally just went to the links provided by the Buy Now buttons on the raspberry pi website and they're all there.

I feel like there's a Mandela effect thing going on with how people remember the price of pis several years ago. If anything, because of inflation, pis are cheaper now than when they released.

The pi3B+ and pi4B are still $35 for the 1GB models and have the same performance today that they did when they came out (and way more compatible software).

If all you're doing is setting up a tinkering lab at a school, which everyone and their mom seems to want to do judging by the comments, you can still do that. The only thing that has changed is the entry of the sbc choices. Raspberry pi hasn't gotten worse, the market has just caught up with them to some degree and that's fine.

More for the rest of us, I guess.

They believe that we're on the precipice of creating agi. Agi, if invented, would be like inventing the nuclear bomb. Whoever does it first gets a massive leg up on the competition. Except in this case instead of destroying a rival with a bomb you just ask your Agi, "what's the best way to become the most profitable company in history" and it will tell you and it will be right.

This is lemmy and so I understand it but flashing an esp32 is not super easy for 99.9% of the population.

I have a password manager with a family plan so my wife can use it. Does she? Absolutely not. And that's why we don't share bank accounts.

Elegant, efficient code? Who needs that shit?

Speaking of factorio, it is the example of "If you want your game to have true replay value, the best thing you can do is embrace the modding community".

Factorio made mods first class citizens and reaped the rewards.

I can't read the link but if we just gauge the health of the indie game portion of the industry by how many games are released, I think the only conclusion you can make is that it's quite healthy. In no small part due to steam which provides discoverability for smaller titles and handles a lot of the technical stuff (downloads, multi-player, even drm) so indie devs don't have to.

You just seem to have a chip on your shoulder in this department and it's not clear why other than "billionaires are bad".
