This is really just Gig economy companies exploiting a "you're just a contractor and not an actual employee despite the fact that we rely upon you to exist, and you have no legal representation" labor loophole. They want to get back to ye olden days of the 1920s before we had federal labor laws that stopped companies from pulling this crap.

"That means that it's good to be big, because you can spread those fixed costs over many, many users. One programmer writing software used by five hundred million users can make a lot more money than software used by five users. So the typical model is to take in a lot of investor money, operate at a loss, and lose money while offering a very compelling service to grow the userbase as quickly as possible.
Once you're big enough, you can spread your costs around many users, so it's easier to make money. You switch from growing your userbase to making money from it. Because you aren't trying as hard as possible to draw in new users, the service is probably gonna get worse from a user standpoint."

This kind of reminds me of how Legos are made. Creating the plastic molds from a molding machine to make a single Lego is extremely expensive, but if you make millions of Legos in mass production it reduces costs to make them dramatically to a point where the Lego Group has basically no operating costs to make them anymore. That turns Legos into an investor's dream.

I think that Hive Dark looks incredible, great job!

 

How well do NAS SSDs or NAS NVME drives run AAA PC games these days? I have a NAS that's a few years old with regular NAS hard drives and I usually get lag if I try to play more intensive games from them. Has the technology improved?

But Yoshinori Kitase says it would be difficult, and he's not thinking about it until 7 is done…

 

EA announced that EA Games will be renamed EA Entertainment in a move that splits it and EA Sports into two separate organizations encompassing many of EA's major studios.

Diablo 2, 3, and 4 are all great for their own reasons. Diablo 3 and 4 are more streamlined. However, the music for all of them is great, stay a while in listen, especially in the main town, Tristram. Torchlight 2 is also a classic and it has the same music composer who did Diablo 2, so it's also excellent. If you want a game with more class depth but it's about halfway between Diablo and Path of Exile, check out Last Epoch on Steam. It should be out of early access later this year and it is a very special game.

I'm also a new Reddit user to Lemmy. I know that we can see other instances when we are logged into our main instance, lemmy.world for example, and we can interact with those other instances like email. Are we required to create a separate account if we want to change to a different main instance instead?
