We already have Steam Marketplace. You can buy stuff with your Steam Wallet.

A small conversation with Copilot makes my laptop choke on RAM, and that stuff is processed on cloud. No way I will allow Microsoft to run an AI locally.

They probably mean the majority of people, not 4070 Ti owners. For them, buying that 4070 Ti would be a better choice already.

Freelancer 2. Will not forget.

With “optimized for gaming” premise? That’s obviously nothing more than “hey we decided to allow you to terminate resource hungry explorer/copilot/edge when you play”.

I can’t call ethical an app that relies on Electron.

…Electron inside.

The interpreter knows that this is not something anyone will ever do on purpose, so it should not silently handle it.

You basically defied the whole NaN thing. I may even agree that it should always throw an error instead, but… Found a good explanation by someone:

NaN is the number which results from math operations which make no sense

And the above example fits that.

"hello" - 1 makes no sense at all.

Yeah but actually there can be many interpretations of what someone would mean by that. Increase the bytecode of the last symbol, or search for “1” and wipe it from string. The important thing is that it’s not obvious what a person who wrote that wants really, without additional input.

Anyway, your original suggestion was about discrepancy between + and - functionality. I only pointed out that it’s natural when dealing with various data types.

Maybe it is one of the reasons why some languages use . instead of + for strings.

If you try what I wrote it will throw a NaN. I was asking about the first part of the proposal.

• should also do some string action

Like what kind of string action?

“Hello” + " world" is what everyone can understand. Switch with “-” and it becomes pointless.

This is done to make Putin look better in eyes of Russians. “See? He is not hiding in a bunker, not afraid of being in a danger. He is so cool and all he says must be right”.

I only mean that the requirements are high enough for someone to stop using it at some point, losing users of that server in the process. It might be different if it didn’t require running a server. Or they could choose to host their rooms on some existing server, I guess.

I’ll think about if they also somehow prohibit 3rd party clients from removing that AI garbage.

I really need some free time in my life to try those arrs with unraid, and telegram bots too…

Pretty much yes. It has channels so there are news channels, personal channels etc. At some point when I discovered Twitter for myself I hated it so much for not being able to simply read subscribed accounts just like telegram does it. It’s too convenient as a feeds app.

My biggest gripe with it is about electron. I refuse to keep it running on my PC. Even the damned Whatsapp converted to something better.

Seems like you have to keep something running for it to work. Some obscure service relied on it as a support channel and last thing I remember is that matrix server stopped working. Though it would help so much if it would be p2p.

another player to try an compete with Steam

Here is the mistake. It does not trying to compete. It only tries to catch as many fish in its bucket as possible, while leveraging (burning) Fortnite money.

It’s a wasted effort, and it will never come close to Steam like this. It may even die along with Fortnite, or degrade further.

They didn’t start the fight. They were sued. If you think “picking a fight with Nintendo” is something you can do any time, and on your own volition, you must be missing something.

Getting popular to that point was not in their plans. You can’t judge their success.

And yes it can legally exist. See other creature collector games (that are just not that popular yet).
