In a perfect world, AI would be a supplementary tool that allows small-time players to participate in their field at similar levels to the corporations.
In the current world, AI is coming for EVERY job, eventually. You would think that means nobody has to work, but it will most likely mean nobody is ALLOWED to work.

Gamers demanding changes saying “it’s literally one line of code”
Yeah I would need to see the “read more” here, all of these look fine but I’d never be surprised to see shit like cruise control or heated seats pop up on a paywall.
I don’t disagree with anything but I feel like GabeN said that before streaming and subscriptions took over.
Photoshop is an incredibly easy to use and powerful tool for creators - I’d be happy to drop like $200 on, for example, the 2024 version. I’m not happy to spend $10 or $30+ a month for life to use it, especially when they lock you in to a year subscription and charge you a fee if you cancel early so you literally can’t just sub only the month when you need it, it’s the whole year, period. I’ll just pirate or use photopea or whatever.
Similar for streaming. Netflix gave us the option to pay for more screens to watch on. Now suddenly it matters whose house it’s in?? All while you’re constantly removing value from the platform and you cancel anything decent if the production value is too high? Fuck you man I’m not paying like $30 monthly for that.
I think you’re missing the idea a little. Yeah its not the biggest problem, but these guys don’t just suggest Linux, the people that just say they prefer it in context and to look into it are fine.
Its the high schoolers and early cs major - types who heard someone else suggest it, and now they’ve made it their entire personality and are physically incapable of refraining from going off about how much better Linux is than windows, while not particularly understanding what they’re even doing.
Example: When I started my programming degree there was one high school kid taking the courses, ANY time someone had an error with their IDE he would go off about how Linux doesn’t have any issues.
And then when the group went to go play games together, he’d attach himself to the party and spend like 20+ minutes crying about how the game didn’t run well cause devs only dev for windows while he struggled with his wine setup.
