That seems around what I’d expect the measurement error to be anyway

It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.

Because lemmy search sucks. Its very specific, and usually the most relavant stuff is buried by tangetially related things.

I think it could’ve used a few more years, because its still not that fun.

Exploation is meaningless, which completely takes the fun out of it. There’s nothing interesting to discover.

We have reactor designs that use already spent fuel, we just aren’t building them. We have enough spent fuel for centuries, and afterwards the reprocessed fuel is much less radioactive, and only for a few decades.

While the free market should be able to correct the problem, it can’t.

I can’t talk specifically about the uk, but in the US many locales have strict zoning regualtions that hamper building medium density cheap housing, perfect for all these people that can’t afford to live where there’s work.

Examples are things like minimum parking requiements, driveway setbacks, and limitations on multifamily homes.

Honestly, it’s so easy to block accounts, so if there’s only one bot in you community you should just keep it.

If they don’t like it they can block it.

I’ve only crowdfunded a handful of gsmes, mostly vr. Because they can’t get traditional funding. Despite this I want to support projects that could be interesting. Without Kickstarter these projects would not exist, rather than switch to traditional funding.

I know there’s risk, i know they may never get finished. But its worth the risk in case a true gaming gem comes out.

I think you undersell how feature rich steam is for both users and developers.

They offer community forums, reviews, mods through workshop, cloud saves, automatic controller support, openish vr ecosystem (epic cant even do vr, if you buy a vr game you likely need to use steamvr anyway), broad payment and currency options, regional pricing and guidelines, remote play, and more I’m sure.

This is much more feature rich than even console platforms, so I think the 30% fee is justified.

And they do this all without really locking down their ecosystem.

Recent controversy over an absurdly high failure rate.

Might be fixed now, but i wouldn’t gamble.

Your best bet is probably to make your own.

Find a high quality NVMe drive and put it in a USB enclosure.

If the USB ports or anything other than the drive fail, the data is easily recoverable.

Given your use case, buying an external drive is probably fine, just don’t get one from SanDisk.

Give it a decade and economies of scale, and maybe it will get it down to twice as expensive.

Dont forget they removed a tank slot, greatly changing how the game was played. And IMO not for the better.

If they’re making record profits why did they decide to come to steam?

I think their player numbers have dropped and they’re trying to boost them.
