Artstation is expensive garbage

So I have to spend 700$ / month to be able to post an add to hire an artist? @retoor, we might need to accommodate devplace for real artists too. 😅

What's the price of a single posting?

Couldn't find it

I think unlimited but you have no idea if they actually have people. I can make this site as well without actually people to hire.

Justice, what an amazing idea: https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-control/features/pay-per-crawl/what-is-pay-per-crawl/.

But still, that is a crawl, it will never be comparable to all the visits that you'll lose by a crawl.

Sounds like a step in the right direction to make things better... but !true justice.

Yeah, I was pretty enthusiast straight from the bat.. But few minutes later, I start to think about it and was like hmm, wait a sec.

What are the opinions on titan?

I was scrolling through my images and found this...
Made me wonder if the people are genuinely retarded? With a controller like this I wouldn't risk a boss fight in Elden Ring.
The guy casually decided to use it to control an experimental sub to visit Titanic.

A while ago we even automated feature development directly without even reviewing the tickets. Now even snek is almost unaffordable. What the fuck is going on.

D-04got10-01 D-04got10-01

Providers finally upped the prices for their services, given their previous business model was !sustainable?

retoor retoor

Yeah, and I even have some more theories to that. It's and and and. We analyze full time data from different sources and there is more and more data. All AI generated and that goes trough our AI. So AI processing AI that processes AI... Yeah..

Learn from the mistakes of others: When your game uses a server or relies on backend services... be sure to properly secure them.

...or you'll get hacked && people will lose their data or suffer some other terrible injustice. 'Secret Neighbor' learned that one the hard way.

Ah, right. Backend services got hacked. Fixed the title. Well either way, if the thing relies on online stuff... better secure it, properly is the lesson.

retoor retoor

We have here a plain simple role system and no bells and wistles. Small attack surface, easy to maintain. We do not do complex security :)

Yes. I'm sort of laughing at those guys from the article. Also... yeah people should learn from their mistake.

Really wtf, there is a notification that I have from 14d old and got mentioned five times by now, but there's another one, very related. Like wtf. I also clicked multiple times to get the comment away. Sometimes I click cause of curiosity, like, it can't be the same one right? Maybe same title? And...

Oh yeah, what was the company name that sold Indians as AI 😁. There is a nice YouTube documentary about it. They were huge.

Art tracker for BTG Inferno

Made a website where I can actually keep track of the art of the game, steam and track my released steam keys. @D-04got10-01 still needs one, and finally I can provide one.

The key worked. After a bit of tinkering, started up w/o issues on Manjaro... which was a bit surprising given the hardware. Will take a look at it over the weekend.

I would smash the green button a million times. A ten year old should not have so much trauma.

With 2 million euro I would hire devplace users. Probably Indian and thus half of India. Kwantiteit over kwaliteit.

On the other hand, it could hurt the platform.

Hmm.

I've sent @blindxfish a YouTube short in private messages. Now I get a notification when he watched it. They do not only track your relationships outside of your ecosystem, we can even track eachother.

Also terrible, these days when you are on a site on android and you copy the url, it doesn't...

One of the many reasons why I hate youtube.
It‘s so easy to do the right thing and yet they choose the obviously wrong thing.
It‘s deliberate enshittification.

retoor retoor

For what exactly? I think they don't even know themselves. They just want the data and figure out later what to do with it. I am so sure.

Who your relationships are tells so much about you.

The danger of grandma's going 30 km/h on electric bicycles is absurd in the Netherlands.

They probably take more lives now than drugs but the government doesn't want you to know this.

But a good thing, many of them wear helmets. By now, as pedestrian you better wear a helmet too I...
