    Blockchain hype

    Dead, buried, brought back to life, shot, brought back to life again and grafted to AI, beaten with a shovel, and currently laying in its own piss hoping 2024 is better to it.

    Oh and Swift is apparently using chainlink for bank transactions, although most are wondering why on earth this would make chainlink holders any richer instead of the dev team and Sergey himself.

    (it won’t)

    It’s one of those games that basically… is mods. Want a car? Someone’s modeled it and put it into the game. Wait to use a wheel and shifters? Go for it. Want to crawl a mountain in a V8 behemoth with giant tires? Go for it. Want to send an 18-wheeler into a stack of buses at the end of a jump ramp? Go for it.

    Why do I feel like giving this a month will make all of this irrelevant?

    but this is a crime against God, humanity, gaming and anime!!!

    I get it, your favorite game doesn’t work because of a new release. It happens. Take a ticket and sit down for a while. Valve isn’t omniscient about every Linux build in existence or possible glitch on the first week of release.

    Hell, TF2 has been broken on arch for almost a month without bypassing a .dll file.

    In feudalism, you know full well you’re being exploited. In capitalism, you might not be aware of it, but you still are. The idea is that you’re being paid for your work but, if the pay is so little that it might as well not matter to the payer at all, and is hardly a living wage, then we’re essentially back at square one.

    Granted, I don’t think we’re as close to the grain of outright slavery that feudalism was, but on a long enough timeline, we will be. Companies will want more and more profit, taking more and more from the consumers and working class. People will either fight back or… put up with it.
