Most games are not lasting longer than 5 years anyway, then the userbase is getting so small that the revenue isn’t attractive anymore.

Also makes a difference if you publish those pictures or videos.

Read the article: You do not need to ask consent from everyone in a city square for personal, non-processing use of recordings, but if you intend to share, publish, or process the footage (especially if it includes identifiable individuals), you must obtain consent under EU laws. Especially covert or non-transparent recording is illegal under GDPR.

I’m sorry that you seem to have given up on people. I still think discussing things is worthwhile but from your text I get the impression that you don’t believe in social discourse.

I think it’s a fact that people learn through and with language and that the symbols we humans use are what constructs our reality. So it’s very important what kind of language we use, how we use it and to be precise in our terms and vocabulary.

People are not readymade, everybody has to learn and learning never stops and people are not all on the same level. So no: not everyone knows the same, as you seem to assume.

It’s not semantic – it’s completely different things happening if there’s real consciousness and compassion present based on lifeforms on one hand or a mere simulation of that in form of a text output on the other hand that only superficially looks like there’s something intelligent.

People regularly fall for the illusion and project their own feelings into the machine while reading the text output of an LLM. Many are not capable of differentiating and the chatbots are designed in a way to make it more and more difficult to recognize synthetic output.

Humans are good in projecting their own feelings into things they see, just look at all the cat or dog owners who believe they can read the thoughts of their “babies” from their facial expressions.

LLMs/Chatbots confabulate statistically probable texts, there’s no compassion possible.

Don’t fall into the AI-marketing trap of “we don’t know what’s happening in the black box, so we have to assume there’s consciousness in there”. The systems produce convincing deceptive language, but all signs of intelligence or compassion anyone sees in them is just an anthropomorphic projection.

Prora is active today with hotels and restaurants.

Same here, never used LinkedIn and don’t see any reason for that. LinkedIn is full of self-promoters, none of whom I want to become.

Open job opportunities are posted everywhere on specialized job platforms. Just subscribe to job postings in your own field and then apply directly.

And are there apps for normal desktop office work?

I’m surely not gonna use Google docs or Microsoft’s cloud clobber.

I can’t note anything sound ‘stupid’ there.

Experiences AND memories do vanish. That’s a fact, it’s completely natural and fine and it’s not a general necessity to fight against that. I found that it is possible to accept transience.

Guess what, we can have new experiences any moment.

Spending much time and money to preserve all the present experiences without gaps and to combat the fleeting nature of all things and to capture every moment of my life for the future seems wasteful. I did this too in the past but the older I get the more I find that I’d rather spend my time in the present moment than in the archive.

Not having so much, being more. The more we collect and accumulate, the more that holds us back.

But hey, I don’t want to discourage anyone and I can understand the approach.

You deteriorate. We all deteriorate. What’s the point of that illusion of having a perfect eternal storage medium for data? It’s the experience that matters.

Maybe pay the artists?

As I said, that appeals to the masses.

I described it somewhat metaphorically. I also get goosebumps repeatedly and again.

I simply noticed during several customer interactions at the hi-fi shop that some people seem to be looking for idealistic audio experiences with a fixed idea of how it should be and believe that’s a purely technical problem. As if a certain cable or amplifier could solve that.

Someone once asked me which cable he should buy to make the music sound really captivating. I dunno, maybe listen to some other music?

I had a salesperson who said that with This more expensive HDMI cable, the picture almost looks three-dimensional!

Even the shielding technologies are way overdone and overpriced in the high end audio market. They act as if they’re running their cables through microwave ovens or magnet resonance machines. If you have strong electromagnetic fields around your audio equipment then somethings wrong in the room.

Some of them even improve their rooms accordingly but are never satisfied.

Some search for the listening experience they had when they were in their twenties and discovered their special music for the first time. They think if they just spend enough money on improving the equipment, the goosebumps of the days of yore will come back automatically.

Bose is famous for unnatural sound boosting. This appeals to the masses and fits to modern listening habits.

But don’t forget the quality of the optic fibers used is also absolutely crucial. Most important factor here is to prevent light scattering along the cable run. So that the zeroes and ones don’t get irritated and upset. You don’t want the amplifier’s error correction to get in a bad mood. So better buy that pure diamond cable that was produced on a full moon night. The captured moon light can can soothe the negative effects of scattered light.

It’s not about sound quality, it’s about wasting money and showing off. Maybe some placebo effect, too.
