That's exactly the point.

How much of our lives can money buy?

What if I wanted to sell my whole remaining time for the benefit of the ones I love, in the form of organs?

Should we allow money to buy anything? Or should we actually make people less desperate so that they are not willing to sacrifice all they have for peanuts?

Citation needed for "most Linux users use adblockers"

How do you guarantee pizza ads if the jesus ministries are pushing that sweet money around, too?

Hell, no! The world is happier without the ad industry. The Internet was run basically on pure voluntary effort, and it was great. The ads didn't make it viable, it always was.

The real question is: can consent be bought?

[–] nephs@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or, you know. Just stop using reddit.

Yes, I understand! I'm talking from the perspective of someone that learned those skills.

That learned about tool chains, about the required infrastructure, the processes, IDE configuration, etc.

I'm not saying the change is painless. I'm saying for each of those, there's an equivalent in any other game making tool. The foundations help to learn the new ones faster. And the new ones takes you generalised knowledge further. Which only contributes to your professionals growth.

At the end of the day, every technology will be replaced. Being able to transfer skills between different scenarios is a valuable skill itself. :)

Don't forget those skills are transferable!

Streams of events, object manipulation and shit is used everywhere. Just a few minor concept changes, just like from one company to another.

Active remote surveillance, no one?

Makes one question what should money be allowed to buy, doesn't it?

Just like ARM based chips? From low power to main chips?

Worth mentioning that RISC-V is open source and anyone with the means is allowed to distribute it royalty free.

I'm not mocking you, tone is lost on pure text communication, I'm sorry. :)

When I use sarcasm or mockery you will notice a /s in my comment history.

I was joking in the sense that it's unusual to see even people using the term "proletariat". You acknowledge the proletariat never had the power to grab back in the first place, that there's been no progress and even loss of rights (and, by extension, degradation of material life conditions).

This is a similar line of thought that took us in lemmygrad to question a few definitions and dig a bit deeper.

I greeted you as an equal, and joked about us having multiple accounts to read stuff on the defederated instances too, because we're people too. Also notice how I was downboated to hell just for mentioning lemmygrad.

Sorry for disconnex wall of text! All the best!
