Users expect to buy a game, a product, not a service. There are enough examples always needing to be online games where local single player stops working when sunsetting the server or just a connection issue.

People can’t afford McDonald’s these days. I doubt they can afford Soylent.
Besides, the meat of an adult body can roughly feed an adult for a year. If you want to feed adults with Soylent Green, half of the adults need to die every year. The entire human race would be eaten in 30 years.

I don’t get it.
Especially not an organization that was specifically created to exploit those religious loopholes. Who could’ve seen that coming?
They’ll do an outlook: cut features from the desktop version until it’s exactly the same as the web version, because every interface needs to be a facsimile of the web, right?
It’s not stupid. It’s just the bastard child of Germany, Dutch, French, Celtic and Scandinavian and tries to pretend this mix of influences is cool and normal.
That’s “monetizing the user base” in corpo speak
And that’s how an iPhone with an interface that even a toddler can figure out sold a few billion units.
Standard earbuds with a cable manager. It was the time that all phones had an audio jack.
The usual response is to overload them with work and basically hound them for ticket numbers, time allocation, budgets and adhere to a very rigid “no ticket, no work” version of the company policy. Preferably with all colleagues at the same time, just waiting at his desk before the boss walks in.
Finally very detailed climate simulations to know how hard we’re screwed
The most important thing is what you’ll get. A few static pages and stock images with the watermark still present, sure. Beyond that the meter starts running.
Best comment ever was “It used to work like this but person at client demanded it work like that on this date” when the client complained it shouldn’t work like that.
No officer, this is not a pirated movie. It’s generated by an AI model I created and trained with data from the internet and the fact that it’s 99% identical to an existing movie is irrelevant.
Sounds like a law so gig workers are paid by the hour would solve more.
repurposed for censorship of anything a totalitarian leaning government doesn’t like
It’s basically guaranteed they use it against critical journalists, political opponents and activists right out of the gate. It’s what always happens when they get the ability to spy on citizens. And the real criminals move to unofficial encrypted platforms mostly out of reach of law enforcement.
Today, yes. We’re dealing with a few billion people with stuff shipped across the planet now.
Barter was never a thing in daily life. No anthropogist found evidence for that. Trust based systems were used, but those don’t work well when they population increases and interaction with strangers happens more. That’s where currency takes over.
Why currency is the most important thing right now? Because currency at the moment is status and many people seek a high status on society.
That’s not exactly true. Barter was never used like that in the past. People used gift giving systems or other trust based systems in daily life. Barter was only used with strangers and that was not a common occurrence. These trust based systems do work in smaller settings but break down in large settings where interacting with strangers is the norm.
I usually say what unit of measurement we’re counting in: days, weeks or months. For more detail, more specs are needed.
