That’s. Uh… the entire idea of a kickstarter.

It may crash and burn. Don’t want that, don’t back anything on kickstarter.

Although i think you’re right, you too where once a kid.

And. Tell me. What did you do with your money back then? Everything you bought was well thought out? You still use day to day everything you bought back then? Or where you just a child and did you buy candy, fireworks, some comics, that game console you sold 2 years later for not even half the price, that cheap rc car which broke after 1 day?

Its a slippery slope. Just because something doesn’t have value to you does not mean the same applies to someone else.

Stuff like this can give kids a certain social standing in the brutal world of the classroom. That’s something to consider also, group pressure, wanting to fit in. The need to be part of the group.

Allowance is a learning experience. My son did the same, for years bought only fortnite skins with his allowance. Like you i warned him against it. But i never forbid it. He’s 14 now and regrets it.

He doesn’t buy fortnite skins anymore. That’s the end goal, isn’t it? To learn and move on?

I should look hard and long at Intel Arc if i was you. Those are nice and a clear move up the ladder from where you are at. And they are reasonably priced.

I was in the same boat. Then I decided that the 50x0 was a paper launch and the leaks told me that the 9070XT would lower or have the same performance as the 7900xtx.

Then the 7900xtx dropped in price, clearing the channel for the new gen.

Then I bought that.

Ever since I’ve been wondering… Why didn’t I buy this thing earlier?

It’s more then fast enough. The RT performance is above the 3080.

Every 9070XT I can buy now is almost 200 euro more then what i payed for the 7900xtx.

What I learned? Buy previous gen in it’s “dying” weeks.

From a musk pov it’s 100% logical. Money.

Why? Win2k was quite stable. Stable enough to use it in warships.

Linux/Bsd is not free. When you use it in your company you want pro support. That support comes free with windows enterprise licenses. So the cost difference there is almost non existent. And, MS being M$, they would’ve sweetened the deal. A lot. Just think of the marketing worth of this deal for MS.

And lastly: Who is cheaper? A good linux admin or a windows guy?

So 90% of the stability at 50% of the cost. That’s not a bad deal.

I don’t get this. Y’all should talk to a psychologist. Its a goddamn mobile phone. If you don’t want to use a device’s primary function maybe you should use something else to browse porn.

And if talking to people makes you anxious and makes you feel violated or makes it feel like someone is disrespecting your private bubble…

You should go out more. Without that gd device in your pocket because clearly, obviously to everyone else but you that device is hampering you, limiting you even hurting you.

This is crazy.

You misspelled propaganda.

Ready player one.

We went east two times before. So you can’t say we never tried.

Three times a charm.

The most interesting problem now is, the biggest dependable Nato partner which is left is Turkey. Lets see how that pans out.

Yes you are.

Tsss, calling me an old nerd on lemmy. You’re a nerd! You’re on Lemmy!

But yes, i wildly, loudly concur woth most of this thread: my kids can’t be bothered with HOW something works. It just has to work. No interest at all in tcp, udp, whats a bit, byte why is everything in multiples of 8: that’s all nerd shit. And, indeed: my shit. Dad! You’re the nerd: fix this!

Rustig, rustig. Het is nog geen augustus en we zijn nog niet in Zeeland.

From everyone looking in: what the fuck is, ok, was Hexbear, why should I care and wtf can’t I read anything from that place.

Same with registration, instances, etc. It’s explained nowhere where how and why and i never have found a complete index with instances and communities.

I only can use lemmy because of sync. Yes, I’m also a reddit refugee.

Vandalism is always bullshit and a gargantuan dick move.

Especially against stuff owned by a private person. Someone saved for that or worse: took out a loan for it. That car represents a year, 2 years or even more of work.

There is nothing what justifies it.

I dont like [billionaire]. Lets destroy the property of [random dude] who probably also doesn’t like [billionaire].

It’s bullshit.

I dont like trump. Just give me your adress so I can destroy your home. What do you say? You dont like Trump either, you only laughed once during the dumb bullshit of the apprentice? There you have it! Let me wreck all your shit!

You can explain it away all you like but its still bullshit.

Yes, you are right but your also wrong. The EU can and would fight back. It would not be an even fight, we would lose badly but it will be fought. And the US will get kicked the fuck out eventually. Because if history has proven anything then it is that the US can’t hold on territory because it loses its will to fight each and every time. The problem is, the US likes winning. It just doesn’t have the faintest idea what to do after.

What he means is, when gaben our lord an saviour dies, his majority shares ownership will be transferred to his inheritors.

The question “do they want to own and do they understand Valve or just see a big pile of cash?” will be answered then and there.

Which can very well result in an IPO.

Correction: Android and apple carplay are just as worse, maybe even more so.

If you’re not American it doesnt really matter. Your data in china or your data in the US. Both are bad, m’kay?

Did biden do stupid shit? Sure. Did he made it worse? Yup. Was his at times clear and present dementia a deciding factor why trump has become president? Absofuckinglutely.

Is Biden the one proclaiming gaza a Trump realty project?

Most fucking certainly not.

Us Dutch: Fucking Finally.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Mods, please don’t remove this, it’s just pure comedy gold.

I don’t have enough fingers to count all the different kinds of psychological deficits this guy has. Really, this post is a goldmine. Leave it up, for posterity.
