AI music is also going to suck if you give it shitty pop music to train on.

i mean, yeah it’s basically the amount of work of a semester long course in making everything from windows work in linux

It’s about the service.

The same reason parallel parking is done backing in.

You’re missing the point, the article is wrong: it’s not about the prices.

Yeah, it’s reall not even about the prices. It’s just so inconvenient to go between all those apps, and then login forgot your password, rest, 2FA so i have to get up from my couch and grab my phone.

All these paid services could be totally free from a monetary perspective and I still wouldn’t sign back up for them. It’s a worse service than cable TV used to be at this point.

I’m a “follower” of the Austrian School of Economics

Okay, so you admit you have no idea how economics work. That’s really cool you’re part of an economics fanfic club though.

In fact, monopolies can only survive through government-grant privileges

This is just false. You dont understand economics at all if you dont understand how all free markets naturally devolve into monopolies. Yes, governments can also grant monopolies by force, but without antitrust laws literally every market becomes a monopoly.

I used it since netscape navigator XD

The only difference is that, in a free-market setting, they wouldn’t have any monopolical privileges

You cant have a free market without a government enforcing anti monopoly laws.

It’s the same thing as trump in the US, they just say things angry people want to hear, and they get elected and end up being the selfserving lying pieces of shit they always were. The difference in Argentina is all the choices are lying pieces of shit. Yeah Milei sucks but so does Kirchner and Fernandez.

Why would you trust an oligarchy of politicians (the State) to decide which goods are useful “for a community” and which don’t?

Because we voted for them. We didn’t vote for the board of directors of private companies. There’s plenty of waste and corruption in private enterprise. It’s not voluntary if they lie cheat and steal just like bad politicians.

The problem is when crooks privatize these things they steal billions of dollars worth of taxpayer money. Yes Argentina is messed up, but it’s because of corruption. Privatization or socialization, both will fail because of corruption.

Like, private school or public school, they both fail if the principal is stealing money, this isn’t a leftist/rightist issue.

You’re literally the only one talking about buying it, and it’s not YOUR software, it belongs to Microsoft. Your boss just rents it and makes a profit having you work on it.

I just do whatever’s easiest – just signing up for some of these services takes way too long to watch one 2 hour program. The money’s not an issue at all in my mind, im happy to pay $70 for baldurs gate 3 with a dedicated download server and installation package. But im not willing to spend half an hour downloading and installing some streaming service.

Yeah they’re going to drive down costs by having employees quit due to RTO 🤣

Exactly, a bunch of made up problems in his own head is the worst that can happen to him

Sounds like a comment about a problem you dont have XD

Not mad and not defending anybody

It is literally making fun of the idea of a master race

Right but it’s not funny i guess, like haha lots of people thought they were the superior race and killed millions and millions of people.

Idk, it’s like mocking a school shooter, like those kids, their victims, are dead, it’s not funny. It’s actually about the most serious thing anyone could imagine.

I get it, i frequent pcmr a lot, and i never took it seriously, but once the question is posed, i do feel like I don’t want to continue coming here with the name as is.
