in modern history

How about the US, period?

Dude, my claim isn't over some unknowable information lost to time; you can look at old game catalogues and gaming magazines and they have the prices right there.

Here's SSI's 1984 catalogue:

Look at the price list for EA and all its companies from 1987:

Did you understand anything in that marketdroid BS? I didn't.

All this screams to me is: avoid - avoid - avoid.

And I was hoping to rip the disk to MP3. Darn it, Universal!

One good anachronistic music format deserves another, I always say!

I've been gaming since the early 80's and games are so much cheaper now than they used to be. I remember spending $39.95-59.95 in the late 80's/early 90's, which would be over $100 now adjusted for inflation. And these weren't huge releases, just run-of-the-mill games.

and summer is ultra-messed-up too here. We've had 2 days at 64 degrees this year, but otherwise it barely goes above 50. It's really rare here to have such a long, sustained bout of cold weather around midsummer.

The tech world isn't the "intellectual" class. It's the crass profit-at-all-costs business class. That's why they market AI: they know perfectly well AI is shit and nobody but corporate bean counters want it, but corporate bean counters is where the money is.

It's becoming a selling point.

Hell, I even watched a video leaked from some OnlyFans account that had the preamble "This content creator prides herself in making her own content herself entirely: no AI bullshit involved!" If the porn industry rejects it, you know it's bad for business.

I don't want AI slop in the kernel I rely on for work. Fuck that guy.

Sadly I run Sway.

As for RDP, if your internet is speedy enough, it's fine. I work remotely regularly and I RDP into my Linux box at work no problem.

including screen recording. TFA is incorrect on that one.

What it really, REALLY lacks is proper remoting. The best option available at the moment is wayvnc - i.e. VNC over a headless Wayland session. It works, but VNC sucks ass. There's no RDP support and there's no remote session greeter.

Fortunately, my only Wayland machine is a laptop, so it's not like I need to remote it a lot, if at all.

The only thing that resonates is the empty brains of vroom-vroom lovers.

Using Google - a company built entirely around ads and whatever vile things they have to do to increase ad revenues - to block ads. You gotta love it!

I genuinely want a pair of AR glasses.
At last a use case worth the hassle!
