Mac is great for emulators, so you have that.

Also mac native games, like ones you can buy on the App Store (cyberpunk etc.) run great on most M chip macs.

Also, Crossover might be a solution for some games. It works for most games fine, some work great, and some don’t work at all.

There’s also other cloud gaming services, where you can emulate a whole computer and just download steam games. Most are cheaper than gamepass 🤷‍♂️

On the note of Fiio, linsoul is pretty good. I’d say China has all the good IEM and music players nowadays.

Example?

That proven color revolution? Should they just allow US backed students to take over and give the reins to western puppets…?

While some will be AI, they did filter by songs with at least some play. The millions of AI songs that get uploaded likely get very little play.

But then there’s some AI artists that are getting millions of plays a month….

Ocean going… Basel….

But piracy is a MUCH smaller issue than theft. Piracy doesn’t deprive the original owner of any material thing. Piracy might decrease sales and profits (research actually says the opposite 🤷‍♂️).

And we have no idea the actual material impact AI will have on the arts. From the reaction we’re seeing it might even make people turn more and more to physical hand crafted art.

We’re already seeing that social media is favoring videos of artists’ processes much more than the final results.

So yeah, no, I don’t see this situation as so much more terrible than theft. I really don’t understand how it could be.

To me it seems the main issue is not even AI, it’s capitalism. If artists didn’t need to sell their art to survive, we wouldn’t even have this discussion.

Still not theft? Things can be bad without being theft.

No AI is the product of any theft. If we’re talking about piracy, piracy is NOT theft. I thought we all agreed on this already.

My only real take here is basically every single libertarian eventually becomes a technofascist. Why is that? Idk. But it happens over and over again.

Ah that’s where you draw the line? Not killing and starving millions in Gaza, Sudan? Not killing millions in invasions in the Middle East?

Ok, you know where your allegiance is. You’re wrong, as your “good billionaires” would eat you for an afternoon snack. But have fun.

Dude comments are public, you can easily see all I’ve ever commented 😂

The oligarchs and billionaires. Or do you only oppose them if they are “asiatic” or something?

But then you defend their plans and expansions like what they are doing in the Balkans, Southern and Eastern Europe.

Seems like the only way companies can turn “AI” profitable is to do massive lay-offs to cut costs. Not because AI can actually take on those jobs that were cut, but because it’s a “good” excuse.

Awesome.

We like in the dumbest cyberpunk version of the future. Predatory capitalism but all the tech is vaporwave and it’s all just dumb dumb finance bros running the show.

🤷‍♂️ gayest is gayest idk man

Sigh… yes. We’ve already been over this guys.

Frankie Grande is the gayest person. Freddie Mercury is the most bi person. Sabrina Carpenter is the straightest person.

I mean you gotta do what you gotta do 🤷‍♂️

Not die in the coming global wars for resources. But I mean realistically I’m not well positioned for that.

While very famous, those cases represent a minuscule amount of total cases. You can say “it happens, see these dozens and dozens of examples”. But that won’t matter. We have statistics, data. And data says a negligible amount of SA accusations and testimonies given are false. Around 5%, or less.

Are you this skeptical of EVERYTHING, or just when women are involved?

Also, NO ONE is saying take women’s accusations and testimony as the only necessary evidence. What we’re saying is take them as VALID evidence, and not something to never believe and constantly question.
