Technology@lemmy.world•Firm quietly boosts H.264 streaming license fees from $100,000 up to staggering $4.5 million — backbone codec of the internet gets meteoric increase, AVC hikes follow disastrous H.265 licensing increaEnglish
23·14 days agoNot really.
I mean it is technically, but software companies have the largest profit margin of any other company in history, that is the extra they make after paying all the bills including developers.
the only thing that even comes close is finance, and it is still off by orders of magnitude.
It is so skewed that it is literally breaking the entire economic model.
Ideas are cheap, and can spread instantly without costing extra.
The indie developer a person that doesn’t need a company wasn’t a thing after the industrial revolution anyone who could compete was a novelty but now you can spin up a factory that serves everyone in the world with a day’s work. people wouldn’t accept it but that’s just because competition is so strong that people are picky.
Software is a completely different thing than physical goods and it needs to be regulated as such unless you want the economy to break.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ubuntu Linux raises minimum system memory requirements by 50% — requirements bumped to 6GB of RAM, previously raised from 1GB to 4GB in 2018English
38·17 days agoThis is not Linux, this is Ubuntu, you can run Linux on the map on the back of a cereal box.
True, the fact that you can play modern AAA games as good or better than windows these days means it is flat out a development issue.
Tap for spoiler
Although I heard it’s because a lot of the tooling for games doesn’t exist on Linux.
So it would actually be the developer’s developer that is too blame or is that all the job of the developer?
Either way it’s because game industry isn’t as mature as on Windows and doesn’t have enough money to fast track it like consoles do.
Although I guess that is a bit of a chicken and egg problem but not really it’s more a kick back grease my palm corruption issue.
Ps. i know what you are thinking:
'Isn’t this a bit long for a spoiler?"
And to that I say:
‘If you preschoolers could read more than one line without getting scared off I wouldn’t have to bury any nuance in a spoiler tag.’
Anyways it’s getting late and I just took a melatonin and I don’t want to stay up too much longer because that really messes me up when I take melatonin and still can’t sleep, is that just me? Idk maybe leave a response answering it so I know you found this.
Thanks for asking and have a good night Love and kisses yours truly random guy on the Internet.
You can hang up now that was the end, what are you waiting for? Is anyone actually going to read this far? You know when the comment turns to rambling it is ok to stop reading.
Seriously, go! This is obviously a waking melatonin induced nightmare, this isn’t interesting.
Ok, I am actually going to leave now, don’t worry about me I don’t actually get nightmares from melatonin but I’ve heard it’s a common symptom but I’ve been actually prescribed it by a sleep doctor I know for a fact that I do need it go worry about something important.
Anyways now that I’ve weeded out all the illiterate people we can talk about mature subjects like they used to on late night TV so the kids didn’t watch anything spicy although that was kids shit compared to what we have now So what about that war with Iran? That was some crazy shit huh? I mean I don’t like when people die but like war is a necessary part of life I personally believe there is no good in war and the only good from war is what you get from it the consequences of war might be good even if you disagree with the actual killing of people so I guess my opinion is that if the war in Iran leads to a better tomorrow then it was worth it, not “Just” because once again you can’t be a good person and kill another person you would need a God to dictate that since you cannot self declare yourself above an equal but you can take the most rational actions possible and in the end aren’t we all a collection of action? And wouldn’t the best action taker be the most moral person?
I don’t know but I really do have to let you go now good night and tell your mother I love her, actually love is a big word tell your mother I banged her and now we don’t know what to do with you, actually don’t tell her that but is there a chance you could like I don’t know not be here anymore? It’s not you it’s me well that’s not true at all it’s entirely your fault and you will probably go to hell but just remember your mother still loves you, not me though but you should also remember your mother is an Idiot.
Anyways good night.

Are we talking about windows or linux? Because updates are seamless if you want it and a single button otherwise.
Windows updates you have to re-affirm you infact do not want office 365 and you do not want spied on and do not want to make an account that after the desktop is blue for ~10 minutes saying “we’re getting things ready” and then you have to jump through hoops re-setting your settings.
And that’s every major update if we’re talking about initial setup you have to hack the damn system just to remove the ads on the desktop, change the background, go into power shell, download sketchy software, remove one drive or at least turn it off so you don’t get a stupid warning just for using your C drive.
I think this is very outdated information windows is absolutely horrendous to use.
Says Linux is bad but uses toaster.
