Most games require more than just a basic animation player, they have their animation tied to gameplay/input systems, you want a full blown animation timeline system, so you can play specific events (vfx, cancel windows) at specific frames

That's something most game frameworks don't provide as a first class, gameplay oriented systems


One is american, the other is european

It's the same with gaming

When Microsoft is killing physical in 2023 to push for Gamepass and digital only, it's labeled as "progress and infrastructure planning", when it's Sony that does it, it's labeled as "greed and anti consumerism"

Hopefully more people get attentive to how the industry & the media works, and how US Big Tech manages to kill any form of alternative


> When Microsoft is killing physical in 2023 to push for Gamepass and digital only, it's labeled as "progress and infrastructure planning", when it's Sony that does it, it's labeled as "greed and anti consumerism"

Microsoft got massive pushback when they did it, Sony even made ad making fun of it. Selective memory much ?


Well Microsoft’s PR machine is working overtime then because I wasn’t even aware of Microsoft doing this until this HN thread whereas Sony was everywhere on social media

You are conflating two separate events:

-2013 DRM/always online drama (reversed pre launch)

-2023 shutdown of its physical release division, which is what triggered shift to digital only titles we are seeing now

Different year, different mechanism, different reception and different press coverage

"has arrived"

Did working condition worsen over time? if yes, then maybe

If not, then COVID proved that we are past the idea of a theoretical biowar, it is already happening


> Did working condition worsen over time? if yes, then maybe

I've read in this thread that Texas removed provisions for a mandatory hydration/sunscreen break after 4 hours of work.

This acquisition should be blocked (and never will sadly), they now have both the incentive and the ability to influence a platform that's supposed to be hardware agnostic (and built trust over that) toward CUDA stack

Microsoft did the exact same with github, acquired stack agnostic platform, and turned it into a copilot/azure one


You missed the whole game-ification, enshitification, copilot-ification of github, and open source theft for their AI training episodes

Always like that with Microsoft apologists


Not a fan of defending GitHub, but TBH them launching GithubActions made me abandon all other CI platforms I was using in the past, I even left GitLab just for that.

What sold you on GitHub Actions? The one 9 of reliability?

https://www.githubstatus.com/


Not sure what you’re intending to show.

That page shows 99.5%+ uptime across all 11 of the services provided.

To do that at a small company world cost significant money.

To have it integrated and cheap for all those small shops is very valuable to them.


It shows 98.3% for actions for me

https://ibb.co/PsMkpJFY


99.5% uptime is nothing significant...

Yeah but it's sufficient for the largest part of CI needs. Most people are making CRUD apps, 6 9s reliability is not required there.

not really, I've ran into Github Action downtime and you can't run tests or anything so either you wait or you just let stuff merge

and again don't know how this is acceptable in 2026, for a paid CI service

and I'm not talking about 6 9s, I mean, 99.5% is terrible


A 99.5 means over one year you will need to wait about 40 hours total for the issue to be solved. What kind of high pressure crud app are you making where this is a problem?

we have technology, 99.5% is embarrassing for a company like Microsoft

it's 2026, not 2016

and that 40 hr may be that over 40 days you just have to randomly stop working if you depend on GHA for something

and why are other services not struggling like this?


I never said I paid, I was referring to my opensource repos.

Oh yes I can totally believe they use public and private repos for their model training. It is surprising they aren’t ahead of the curve for AI coding like Claude code, codex or cursor because of this.

I very much doubt that. Imagine the PR nightmare and potential liability if someone managed to extract from the model credentials in a private repository.

Explain to me how using OPEN source for training is theft? I've (admittedly skimmed) quite a few licenses, but I really dont remember anyone restricting reading/indexing source code?

MIT license includes: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

The argument is that AI models trained on open source should include the copyright info for all projects blended into the weights. And since they don’t, it violates the terms of the license.


You don't relinquish copyright by using a FOSS license though, right?

Github hasn't changed that much overall.

The copilot service and the training on open source would be the same if Microsoft hadn't bought GitHub, it would just be branded differently.


Have you seen github outages?

Well a lot of the outages are copilot which doesn't change my argument that already holds copilot separate.

Israel? more like the UK with the help of China

Fees will magically appear between agents where they don't need to be

What could go wrong


I'm not a OpenRouter user, but if i were, i'd move away from it

This is what i hate about modern entrepreneurship, everything is always built for a short term plan

Family businesses where tradition, trust, values and reputation are kept and transmitted across generations don't exist in tech and it's just sad

It's just build fast, milk users, cash out, and move on

No loyalty, no pride in the work, and zero respect for the people who actually supported you

And actually, it's a defensive move from Stripe, because OpenRouter was quietly becoming the way AI agents pay each other in USDC via x402, and Stripe probably saw this as a threat, specially with OpenAI already moving away from Stripe

They'll nerf you, to protect themselves, they'll make you dependent on their merchant system for the juicy fees


cough

TaxJar, acquired by Stripe, they ended up doubling the price

Rebilly, same story

Lemon Squeezy, same story

Bridge, same story


The definition has shifted towards socioeconomic descriptor, nobody uses the old definition because it's no longer WW2


> nobody uses the old definition because it's no longer WW2

These are Cold War terms (post WW2). And for the Cold War era it makes sense to use the original meaning.

IMHO the term "3rd world country" shouldn't be used in the first place when talking about the time after the early 1990s though. It's misleading and the "modern" meaning comes with a hefty whiff of implied racism/colonialism.


I agree
