In my experience the publisher Manning Books earns their cut. They’ve done interesting books, allow early access and update books online, provide digital copies if you buy the physical, etc.

Can you elaborate on the various types of nerdcore? I find sub-sub-genre differences interesting. Atmoblack vs DSBM, for instance. I’m curious what the differences are.

Elastic would’ve been amazing (among other things, it has all songs on the album laid on top of another, playing simultaneously)

Sony has sold approximately 150 million PS4/5. Assuming they’re ALL being played, and that Microsoft sold roughly the same number, that means that if roughly one in every five iPhone owners play games, there are equal numbers.

But A lot of it, I’m sure, comes down to what everybody considers gamers/games. Balatro? Unquestionably a game, does it count for your statistics? I don’t know. From my phone on a brief search, the total market was somewhere around 180 billion last year, and $90 billion of that was mobile, and Sony made $17.5 billion in services, though I’m not sure if that includes the actual consoles.

Not when large swaths of people are being told to use it everyday. Upper management has bought in on it.

Interesting concept, here’s hoping. They could definitely take a bite out of the progressive market, especially for people who buy a pair of dedicated reading glasses. Comes down to how much lenses cost, how much/many options the frames come with… I suspect this will be a super niche thing, but on board for it

No, that’s quite literally the reason that Apple is so big. They successfully made MP3’s easy to get from CD, add to device and play. , I owned an early MP3 player, and ripping mp3s from CD and loading sucked compared to the first iPod/iTunes. Of course, over time it got better on the PC side, but it was trivial to teach somebody like your parents how to get their music on an iPod.

It’s why Slashdot still gets mocked for their iPod review. While there were other MP3 players that had more storage or battery life, the cohesiveness of iPod/iTunes was unmatched, and that’s why few remember the nomad but every one remembers the iPod

Unsure what NOYB is, even after skimming this, but an interesting bit in there about how people wouldn’t have the right to be forgotten once the AI has been trained.

Looking for iOS recommendations, preferably without a subscription that can read epub/pdf

I was honestly hoping that’s where phones would go - watch for calls and standard phone stuff, tablet for anything big. Now I think there’s a place for glasses instead, and def for all the various things we do when standing around bored

Yeah, just a bit concerned that this weakens things a bit.

How’s this differ from https://lemmy.world/c/comicstrips ?

OpenAI would loooooove that kind of info https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1dr6neg766o

Or, Google would be the one blocked by the new owner (who would have all the info that Google would’ve in the past ) not the one blocking.

I wonder if it has anything to do with them possibly having to sell off Chrome

Facepalm. Yeah. Him.

No relation to Chris Brian Krebs the security nerd. (Seems obvious, but I gotta get some dopamine^w upvotes today)

I would quite honestly be surprised, they have been vocal in the past about having no such thing.

Thank you for that, that’s hysterical! And I wouldn’t have caught on with the handshake. They need him as a guest on the Katering Show!

It’s Red Green’s cousin from down under! Where’s Harold?!
