Oh my god. Where are you located? I’ll literally look it up for you.

I literally just went to the links provided by the Buy Now buttons on the raspberry pi website and they’re all there.
I feel like there’s a Mandela effect thing going on with how people remember the price of pis several years ago. If anything, because of inflation, pis are cheaper now than when they released.
The pi3B+ and pi4B are still $35 for the 1GB models and have the same performance today that they did when they came out (and way more compatible software).
If all you’re doing is setting up a tinkering lab at a school, which everyone and their mom seems to want to do judging by the comments, you can still do that. The only thing that has changed is the entry of the sbc choices. Raspberry pi hasn’t gotten worse, the market has just caught up with them to some degree and that’s fine.
More for the rest of us, I guess.
I’m a moron when I’m stoned but a little bit makes my brain slow the fuck down enough that I can actually concentrate on things and get them done.
No, you use it as a media server. A media center can also be a media server but often is not.
If your pi is just reading files from the network, it’s fine. If it’s serving files, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Use the right tool for the job.
A raspberry pi isn’t and has never been a good choice for a server.
For an appliance like a pi hole, home assistant, or media center playing files from a real Nas it’s fine.
This is lemmy and so I understand it but flashing an esp32 is not super easy for 99.9% of the population.
If you saw a cluster then you saw a new deployment. They become less visible as they raise to their final orbit and change orientation.
The bigger problem is rumblings about how much aluminum dust their disintegration causes when they are deorbited and how much greenhouse effect that could cause. Probably not enough to make a difference but it’s. Something to consider and mitigate as much as possible.
Elegant, efficient code? Who needs that shit?
Speaking of factorio, it is the example of “If you want your game to have true replay value, the best thing you can do is embrace the modding community”.
Factorio made mods first class citizens and reaped the rewards.
I can’t read the link but if we just gauge the health of the indie game portion of the industry by how many games are released, I think the only conclusion you can make is that it’s quite healthy. In no small part due to steam which provides discoverability for smaller titles and handles a lot of the technical stuff (downloads, multi-player, even drm) so indie devs don’t have to.
You just seem to have a chip on your shoulder in this department and it’s not clear why other than “billionaires are bad”.
Well, that sure took a turn I wasn’t expecting.
Provide one example if it’s so ubiquitous. I have been following the EGS discourse for years and never seen anyone complain about the free games.
Maybe complaints about how the games aren’t worth it because you have to use EGS, sure. I’ve made that joke myself. That’s a different complaint though.
Go ask any indie developer if they think the 30% cut valve takes from sales through steam means they’re “getting fucked”. I can assure you, the vast majority do not.
Serving files, absorbing the costs of credit card payments and charge backs, and maintaining community forums is worth the 30% alone. Hell, just being able to list your product on the most popular store is worth it for some people.
In my industry, physical stores won’t even consider stocking your product for less than 40pts of margin and the big guys expect you to absorb the freight costs as well.
30% on storefront sales and you can sell your own keys for 100% profit on your own site is more than fair.
I’m sure you came up with that 5% number after careful research and didn’t just pull some low round number out of your ass.

Nobody shit on epic for giving away free games. You can’t just make a completely false statement like that.
People don’t like epic because they bought games and made them exclusive to their store.
Turns out you’re correct. I appreciate the correction.
Vegas is almost entirely powered by the hoover dam. It’s already pretty green as far as energy goes. The question will be where do they get their power from in a few years when lake mead dries up.
If your phone has Bluetooth turned on, it’ll track you.
