Maybe I am just an old nostalgic fart but I have games that I own that are over 30 years old that I still have access to and regularly play and that’s how I like it.

I personally don’t at all see any benefit to the consumer that subscription based gaming provides. Arguably you can access more games for less money, but if video streaming is anything to go by (increased prices, less content across more and more services, ads creeping back in etc), that value proposition won’t last long.

I don’t think there are that many bots here because of [reason 1], [reason 2], and [reason 3].

And I for one am certainly not a “goes against OpenAI use policy".

Why not just use a QR code scanner that shows you the link before you browse to it?

I don’t know if I am right but I am of the opinion that Cybersecurity should be considered a mastery branch on top of basic engineering skills. But it feels like there are so many Cybersecurity experts who do not understand enough about the underlying engineering concepts to be effective in their role.

Ha, I was going to say she sounds too smart for him!

I find it hilarious that you think people who use health trackers “need” them to get fit, rather than being a source of personal data that helps improve how you manage your diet and exercise.

You could pretty much reduce any use of modern software to that kind of comment. E.g. I find it halarious that people need spellcheck to write things correctly.

This is again just asking which movie you prefer, with extra steps!

Cook and eat good food, including liver.

This seems oddly specific for Maslow.

I don’t know if it is lazy as much as it is a design choice - remember at one point Lemmy actually auto updated (which meant posts were pushed down while you were browsing) and it was an intentional design.

I am no longer a Reddit refugee, I am a Lemmy citizen!

A lot of people posting that the threat of theft or interference will put a halt to drone delivery, but I wonder if that will really be a problem when looking at the the return on investment. A lot of people have said similar things about self service checkouts but industry keeps pushing on.

The cost of drone delivery will shrink dramatically over time (labour and energy being the two big ones) especially if you compare it to equivalent service levels (e.g. same day delivery) so much so that companies would likely easily absorb the costs - if it all works of course.

Is it really that different to the vrooming of cars that we have grown accustomed to?

HA, I read the title and thought “what is going on? I love my seat warmers” - I completely overlooked the word subscription because it is absolutely absurd that there would be an ongoing cost to the consumer for a feature that provides no ongoing cost to the manufacturer.

I am not so young but I have always seen my friends once a week for the better part of my adult life. Basically we always make an effort to organise things, sometimes weeks out, sometimes it’s completely impulsive (and they don’t always work out) - from a small breakfast catch up, or a big weekend away, and everything in between!

LAN parties (showing my age).

It depends where you live, but my go-to was 24 hr cafes and other food places, but there are also other activities like late night fishing, long drives (or rides), night photography, etc

Lemmy was a 1 to 1 time sink replacement for Reddit for me so not a lot has changed!

Relay for Reddit - but I am guessing the move to the paid subscription is due any day now.

No, but I still very occasionally check it but only every couple of days for the niche communities, but only because my reddit app of choice still works - but as soon as it stops I will not miss it.
