Have you played Warthog Launch? It makes satire of the game physics.

Oh my, its been a minute since I played this game. I remember playing it as a teen.

Ye well it is the silliest game mechanic for a puzzle game ever. It is surprising how fun it is.

> but isn’t suitable for the everyman due to its complexity and associated costs.

Complexity, sure. But for most people, the cost of Netflix, Spotify and whatever will quickly add up to a 500usd server. With 1-10 users you don't need much.

> Lego (the old kind with square bricks, not the new ones where every piece is different).

I think Lego has cut back on strange almost unusable bricks lately? Or atleast those Bionicle type sets get less store space where I live.

Seems to be the case.

Poster child for this would be the Space Shuttle/747 kit (which I kind of wish had gone back to the drawing board for a few more revisions.... but I'll probably get it anyway).

"one billion hours of videos every day." according to Wiki.

So 9.79/365*4 = 11 cents per hour of video.

I dunno what you need to profit from 1h of video.

I was at a talk recently where a person from an ad supported streaming provider broke down their cost/revenue as part of the justification for some of their engineering decisions.

Basically you're lucky to get ad revenue of 10c per hour.

That is a interesting theory. When the users could select who to follow it was easier to get into your niche.

I am so glad I burned my feed addiction on crappy ranked motivational poster meme feeds 2012 something when the feeds still were bad.

It is something that would bring me down otherwise. Just like I never dared to even try WoW.

I see it as capitalism eating itself. When some field is rather streamlined and mature and optimized cutting corners is where to increase profits.

An analogy would be brands profiting from their good brand image. I.e. they decrease quality to change brand loyalty into dollars.

"The issue I see with the whole regulation debate is a complete lack of context from politicians and decision-makers. Perhaps it is by design?"

Go attend some party meetings if you want the context. Usually the reasoning is clear. I don't know why people expect politicians to be able to reach out to them unilaterally. The participation rate in politics is too low nowadays for gossip to spread.

>The participation rate in politics is too low nowadays for gossip to spread.

Except if the politics is expressly populist.

Ye sorry well I didn't mean drama with gossip.

More like locals talking about things that happens in their county.

Roads, schools, being nice to eachother, parks, etc.

Unless party members can explain what is happening so many things seems stupid for external observers.

Nice. You need to add coop support with P2P chat and so she can swipe right on you for a match.

I’ll message jack dorsey to see if he wants to collab

If he turns you down you'd might want to consider hotseat coop instead.

Meh only to be bought by Elon?

My feeling is that it in fact does work.

Most ideological death marches I have witnessed in my party have also been accompanied by lack of debate due to unilateral threats of de juro or de facto expulsion by some sort of manufactured consent that seems to come from nowhere.

Exactly. Broken ideologies and populism break down very fast in the face of proper debate, but that debate needs to be had and broadcasted very very loudly and broadly; Otherwise it is drowned out by the unchallenged propaganda.
