Could we sabotage the LLM training so the data became worthless?

Like adding to our comments stuff like "2+2=5" "Abraham Lincoln discovered America" and whatever silly statement you can think of

It’s still less expensive than a PC hobby

just with the sales and free online/cloudsaves PCs are cheaper in the long run

And mods are an added value, we can even include fanmade patches that fix what developers don't into that added value

Consumers don’t have much say in what these companies do or how they operate.

Yes, they do. Microsoft tried to incorporate Xbox live onto PC and it was a failure because PC consumers didn't bought it

The same goes with paid mods, Valve and Bethesda tried to make people buy mods and it was rejected by the consumer so the have to backtrack.

Consumers have all the power in their wallet they decide what course the companies take. If a company does something that goes against your interests as consumer is as easy as stop giving them money, if you hurt them economically, they'll have to go back to the business model that gave them profits (this works only if the average consumer is intelligent enough to protect their own interest/rights)

basic tier for those of us who just want online play and cloud save

That should be free. It's when people should have started boycotting Sony (and Microsoft and Nintendo) now it's just too late

To have access to those "free games" you have to pay first, so how come they are free when they are asking money for them?

Free is this:

No payments required and you keep it forever

I’m not a console owner, are PlayStation owners really giving Sony $60 a year to play online multiplayer?

It all started with the Xbox, since people did not questioned it and received it with open arms the others (Sony and Nintendo) just copied it. It's just matter of time we end up paying on PC too

AAA PC exclusive titles also have the right to exists.

I miss playing good first person shooters...

The first game in ages where it actually feels like the company/ developers actually put in effort and released a complete product

I miss the time when this was common

WipeOut was Sony’s initial first-party exclusive for the original PlayStation

It was so exclusive that was ported to DOS, Windows and the Sega Saturn

At some point in this millenium, it became ubiquitous in games to ask for a button press before switching to the main menu and it has become a pet peeve off mine.

Fake news. It was common in the previous millenium too

So next year we can expect Quake III Arena, I guess

Fishing minigames. I hate them with every single fiber of my body specially when they are mandatory for progress or to get 100% completition

They are not relaxing, they are painfully boring

I love hard games, but only when the challenge is fair, if the game consist solely on trial and error, that's bad

I genuinely enjoy the "git gud" journey, I find it very rewarding

I blocked the user who flooded the community with shitposting, I prefer no content rather than shitty, low quality content

I left plenty of subreddits because that kind of content was rampant and it was hard to find actual quality content, because those posts were buried in shitty memes

I'm looking a music player focused on local media (stored in my phone's SD card)

I used foobar2000, but I found creating playlist incredibly tedious so I changed to VLC, which is ok, it let me choose a bunch of files and add them to a playlist, but both share the same problem. When I change my SD card for a new one I have to start from the scratch and create all the playlist again, and that's a pain in the ass

So I'm looking for a audio player that let me easily export and import the playlist I create
