I think the point is that you don’t have to pay ANYTHING per month to play apps or games you already fully paid for online whereas not paying for playstation online means you lose that entire aspect of your own device whereas with a ps5 if you stop paying sony you can no longer even use netflix despite paying netflix your isp and sony for their hardware. They use the fact that they control your device to effectively blackmail you by making third party apps contingent on paying their blackmail.

So in this imaginary never ending orgy it would still make sense for the women to take the pill because if 99% of the men do the other 1% will somehow make every single women pregnant.

Would you like a meme with 8 or less characters and a 2nd grade reading level to calm you down?

I don’t think its a non-argument. If we are talking about PC gaming as a budget option the fact that you CAN have JUST a singular device isn’t obviated by the fact that some people have a separate general purpose PC any more than it is because some people still a $5000 GPU on a $15000 device.

Most recently I got a nice radeon 6600 with 8GB VRAM for 100 I guess.

Using a TV for general computing would be fairly broken due to font rendering and DPI. Comparing used anything is fraught because its filled with caveats and isn’t repeatable.

I didn’t say they didn’t watch netflix or have internet.

PC gamers don’t pay a monthly fee connected to their gaming.

350€ = 405 USD once you add in a mouse keyboard and monitor you are over 500 the figure I used. Decrease your figures further and it gets shittier fast.

Only a tiny minority of PC gamers pay monthly for anything.

You can’t upgrade the PS5, and the sale price of your 5-year-old unit is like $100.

Free games aren’t included in the 10 per month.

The cost of 18 per month to also have old games costs 1300 over 6 years.

The PC you can get for $200 will be awful to use or die within 3 years or both. It will be ridiculous to repair, so you will buy another 200 special hating the shit you bought both times.

Basically at the root a PC and a console are both good for about 6 years but the 700-1300 you pay for online is going to dwarf the buy up from acceptable PC to gaming PC+ hardware.

Cheap PC are the value option expensive pc are the quality option.

Consoles are kind of in between.

Let’s compare a 6 year price without games.

PC gaming

800 gaming PC 200 mid cycle update to GPU 3-5 years in

PS5

500 non-gaming PC because your ps5 isn’t a useful alternative 500 ps5 650 ps5 pro 4 years in 720 for PlayStation online basic at 10 per month

1000 vs 2370

Laughing at console gamers spending more than the cost of a basic computer on the privilege of using it online via your own internet which you also pay for

Software and driver issues like clicking update? Waiting for a reboot?

The same one year warranty that your PC has?

That isn’t something normal people buy you can spend any amount on anything but its really fringe rich people shit.

Yep so many amazing games for $5-20 on steam sales often not even that old

Mint has basically contained bad decision making by Ubuntu and individual versions are supported for 5 years. The average computer lasts 6 before replacement.

Mint is fairly future proof I think.

They created the cost with their actions. The government should take every penny of value down to the CEOS kids toys and then foot any costs not paid for.

Have you considered that just “reaping old process IDs” wasn’t enough responsibility for an init daemon on a secure, robust system? That maybe it should be protecting other parts of the system and tracking the liveness of a desired service?

What is the benefit of specifically doing that in init?

If I see an argument like this then I can only assume the interlocutor doesn’t do software engineering.

Its more likely that the user simply has simple needs like running stuff at startup which any init system can do and doesn’t see as much benefits as poster.

Also who loves systemd-resolved?

No. The loss from ridiculous misuse insofar as food (not soda) is small but meaningful and basically worth nothing because typically “exposure” isn’t worth anything whatsoever. Worse it might convince some other assholes with the same strategy to specifically target your joint magnifying their loss.

It’s funny that you who have run nothing know better than every company.

Well two things can be true

They are a huge racist and a MAGA and trolled you
