  • Well, is there’s no API, people complain that it’s too closed. If there is an API, people complain that it’s too open. If you don’t want AI to see and use your data, don’t post it publicly. Attaching a license or terms could make clear what can and cannot be done with the data, but enforcement will be hard.

    My opinion is that having an API is preferable, because anything that is put out there publicly can already be scraped anyway, but an API makes 3rd party clients and other integrations possible, which is a good thing.





  • Without a doubt, that would be the first car I ever owned, a Renault 21 2.0 diesel that was about 12 years old when I bought it in 1999 of thereabouts, for slightly north of € 1000.

    It had some rust, but the worst part about it was that it was slow as molasses. It would do 0-100kph in 25 seconds on a good day, with a top speed of 125 on the speedometer. I laughingly called that my highway cruise control 😁

    At the same time, I have very fond memories of that car, as it allowed me to visit my then girlfriend (and current wife), and had loads of cargo space. It also handled speed bumps incredibly well, so I didn’t really need to slow down for them. It also helped that I never had any reliability issues with that thing, until it was totaled.







  • The social stuff may be bloat to you, but it helps me to see which friends are online, and let’s me join their games or invite them to mine.

    There’s nothing that epic adds that I care about and I refuse to buy their exclusives, because that encourages them even more to keep doing that.

    Steam may not be perfect, but it’s pretty damn good. I have enough with GOG and Steam, and don’t want to add multiple storefronts to the list of launchers on my PC.
