The German (cockroaches) are invading again?
That's the least of their problems. The bigger issue is that who knows how long the dig site will be kept open for. Meanwhile whatever space this was is entirely unusable and littered with archeologists. Great for history but unfortunate for them.
Yes but it's going to be hard to keep up with Google in a fork.
My dude, social media is today's bathroom stall. What else are we to talk about other than the duece left behind.
Looks interesting but the trailer doesn't really portrait the same spark as black and white. What made BW so interesting was really how charming it was combined with an interaction method that made you feel godly. This has the idea of being a god, but will you interact using godly powers? Or do you just change settings via menus no different than any other Civ like game.
You can still use the APIs but you do it via a browser. So it is slightly more annoying for botters but a death blow for apps.
With how bad TV has been lately, this should be good enough if it's even half the quality of the old show.
It's not all Google's fault though. With the obliteration of online news and forums, there just isn't much indexable content out there that isn't trash. It's only getting worse with AI spitting out garbage remixes of the same crap on pages that post more ads than content. Reddit was a bastion of real content written by real humans delivered in a mostly friendly way.
So at this point, what is Google supposed to even serve? No one wants the trash content. The next "best" thing is Quora and that's entirely hostile even if it manages to accidentally contain valid content.
Corporate has managed to destroy the Internet.
A lot of that is because there isn't a post game. So, you finish the quest lines and that's it. Witcher is the same way and it's fine, but Witcher was also a longer game with more interesting side content.
It certainly could be. Each server is responsible for keeping track of activity on the network. It hasn't been an issue so far since all the "big" servers are relatively equal and the overall network is still small. If Kbin suddenly had to process and record every single Reddit comment/thread, it would be a massive drain on CPU resources and immediately cause data issues as Kbin just doesn't have the data capacity that a giant company is capable of building out. Federating all the things may not be viable in the organic future, but we would get there much quicker if a mega server started dumping messages hard.
The old system worked fine. You bought a version and you get to keep it forever. You typically got a year of updates along with it. If your didn't want anything new ever, you were done. If you wanted more updates, you could buy another years worth typically with a nice discount. That way the customer chooses how much they need updates and the company gets paid for the updates.
